Engine began knocking at very low mileage. Knock was apparent while stationary, driving, accelerating. Engine replaced under warranty, no questions asked. If engine had failed during operation it would have created a dangerous driving situation.
2015 Hyundai Elantra engine complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 95 of 95, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Seeking to accelerate as I merged onto a highway, vehicle RPM exceeded 6,000 without acceleration. Depressed accelerator, tried again and the engine backfired. Result: blown head gasket on vehicle with only 62,000 km. I changed the oil every 8,500 km and hyundai is debating the warranty.
I was in motion on numerous occasions driving on highway and city streets and the vehicle would make an awful ticking and grinding noise and then stall. I lose steering and brakes and have been in too many close accidents due to this. I have kids and this is not safe. I took it to the dealership where I bought the car and they could not find anything wrong with it. There are no dash indicators on nor any codes coming up when scanned. I read about this from other people. Something needs to be done. The scariest time was when I was going down a steep hill, cars in front and back of me. My car stalled and with no power steering and no brakes I barely managed to swerve around the car in front, dodge the oncoming car in other lane, I then had to go into an intersection praying to god that no other cars were coming thru at the same time and then managed to pull over. Did I mention my kids were in the car!!!! Please recall these cars for stalling before someone gets killed! It is very dangerous.
Its a loud crackling ticking noise that comes from my 2015 hyundai elantras engine. When I drive the the ticking turns into knocking and the car shuts off completely in motion. I have looked online to see what this issue could be. I've read countless statements about this issue. Hyundai needs to step up to the plate and acknowledge this is a urgent manufacturing issue that needs to fixed immediately.
Car is stalling and engine turns off when driving at low speeds heavy traffic. Have to put car in park and restart. All indicators on dash turn on suddenly and engine shuts off. This has occurred repeatidly whenever I am in traffic on the freeway
I bought my 2015 hyundai elantra from the carmax in oak lawn illinois in september of 2018 and since then I've experienced a few problems with the vehicle and carmax is only telling me that it was a plastic bag on the exhaust pipe and that it will burn off on its own. I took the car into them on april 17, 2019 and today is may 14, 2019 and I'm almost positive that it doesn't take a whole month for a bag to burn off an exhaust pipe. Also I have a complaint about my brake system, when I brake the car acts like it's stalling and it makes a clicking noise as if the car is on ice and the extra brake is helping the vehicle to stop. I know this isn't supposed to happen this way. I have 3 children that travel in this vehicle everyday and I can't drive a faulty vehicle and something happens to them while driving it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start intermittently and would stall. The failure left the contact stranded on numerous occasions. Walser hyundai (8100 lakeland ave n, brooklyn park, mn 55445, (651) 705-0151) was notified and replaced the engine assembly, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission and engine assemblies needed to be replaced. The contact asked for the manufacturer to buy back the vehicle. The manufacturer refused and did not assist. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 87,000.
Very loud ticking noise from engine. Would not stop when car was warmed up as I was originally told by the dealer in the fall or 2018. Continually got louder and louder and I knew it was not right. Took to dealer have been told needs a brand new engine. Faulty pistons.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai elantra. While driving various speeds, the contact heard abnormal noises coming from the engine compartment. There were no warning indicators illuminated. Billion auto hyundai (3401 w 41st st, sioux falls, sd 57106) diagnosed that the engine needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.

Vehicle was making a "ticking" sound. Gets louder as you accelerate. Took vehicle to mechanic - advised pistons/engine are causing sound to contact hyundai dealer as there has been many issues with the cars engines. Can drive the car at this time, waiting on dealer to respond and hope engine doesn't blow up on me. Car only has 55,000 miles.
My engine began making a clicking noise in january 2019. I didn't think much of it. Then the check engine light, the oil pressure light and the battery light all would start flashing when I was driving and my engine would die. I took it to my car dealership, who said they couldn't tell me what was wrong with it, but that it was covered under my warranty so they are replacing it. I have looked online and noticed many other people with the same problem. I don't know much about cars but I do know that an engine totally dying at 58,000 is not good. They did mention that they would check the oil for metal shavings. I looked that up online, which happens when an engine is poorly made and the motors are scraping against each other, producing metal shavings, which then go through the entire engine through the oil. Every time the engine died I was driving on a side street, going about 30 MPH.
2015 hyundai elantra with 43,000 miles on it. The car vibrates and shakes while in the drive or reverse when stopped with the driver's foot on the brake. The vibration and shaking vary in intensity. I brought the car to the dealer and they said the throttle body needed to be cleaned due to rough idle. I had the service performed and it has not solved the problem. This is an issue that hyundia needs to address.
We have had problems with this car for years now. 2 of the issues the dealership could not even fix the problem. On 11/15/2016 with 12185 miles on the car, we had to replace the battery on the car. On 05/22/2017 with 15516 miles on the car, we had to replace (2) tires on the car because the tires were bald. On 11/03/2017 with 18268 on the car, we had to replace the other (2) tires on the car because the tires were bald. We had problem with the car stalling. The dealership could not find anything wrong with the car.on 01/18/2018 with 20747 miles on the car. We had a problem with a sound when the car starts. When the car starts it sounds like metal clinking. It does not matter if the car is cold in the morning or anytime of the day. When I start the car, it makes this sound. I had to tape the sound so the service advisor could hear the sound. The tech could not hear it. 02/08/2018 with 20749 miles on the car. We still had the problem with a sound when the car started. When the car starts it sounds like metal clinking.the dealership kept the car overnight. The next day the tech did hear the sound. They tested the alternator and it was bad. They had to replace the alternator on the car. After the dealership replaced the alternator I still had the same sound as before. The replacement of the alternator did not stop the sound. 03/20/2018 with 20802 miles on the car. We are still having the same sound when the car is started. It does not matter what time of the day the car is started, the same sound happens. It sounds like a metal clinking. I had a tape of the sound, the tech did not hear a thing. We are still having the same issue with the sound when the car starts. I am scared to start the car because the dealership can not find out what is wrong with it. I am scared it might blow up when the car starts because of this issue.
My elantra 2015 ( 70 k) shut off while driving
I purchased this vehicle with approximately 35000 miles on it, and since that time, on multiple occasions, while trying to accelerate, there is a brief lack of response from the vehicle. When attempting to get up to speed when merging onto the highway, or even when taking off from a stop light, the vehicle will begin rolling, and when I push on the gas pedal there is a 2-3 second hesitation from the accelerator. This only happens once in a while. Due to it not happening every time, it is hard to duplicate at the mechanic shop for testing.
2015 hyundai elantra. Consumer writes in regards to engine failure.
Car stalls when ever idling or coming to a stop.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai elantra. While the vehicle was being serviced, the contact was informed by the mechanic that there were metal shavings in the engine oil. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer (stew hansen hyundai, 11344 hickman rd, clive, ia 50325, (515) 253-3000) was contacted and an appointment was scheduled to replace the engine short block. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 105,000.
My 2015 elantra started to make a ticking noise while parked and while accelerating at 50,000 miles. There was no noticeable change in driving performance and no dashboard lights turned on. Within a week I brought it to a hyundai dealer for an oil change and to diagnose the noise. I was told the oil had metal shavings in it and the engine needed to be replaced. I have had regular maintenance and oil changes prior to this.
One morning I started my car like any normal day and there was a ticking sound. It was cold out that morning so I didn't think much of it but I took it to get its oil changed the next day and thats they told me that it was something internal and I should take it to a dealer. I took it to a dealer and they told me that there was an engine knock and that the only way to fix it was to basically get a new engine.
Starting a couple of weeks ago, my vehicle has been making a rattling noise while in park and while in drive (especially with accelerating). No check engine light. I took my vehicle to get serviced and was told there are metallic shavings in the oil to support that there is lower engine failure (crankshaft with too much clearance) and that I need a new engine. I went to other auto shops and was told the same thing. The vehicle only has 76,000 miles and has received regular maintenance with oil changes every 5,000 miles.
Engine started making a ticking noise with no indication of a problem. Ran fine and no check engine light. Took vehicle to dealer and they found metal shavings in oil, caused from either a bad main or rod bearing. Car had 37,000 miles and the oil was changed every 3,000 miles.
Car cut off. Was no longer drivable. Had to get it towed to the dealership only to be told that I need a new engine. My car is a 2015 and only has 74,000 miles on it.
