I was driving on the highway, operating vehicle at posted speed limit, traveling about 70mph when vehicle experienced complete power loss for a short duration of time. All electrical off, loss of braking, loss of power steering. Power subsequently returned and vehicle resumed normal operation. This is not the first time this has occurred, but this episode has me concerned since I was driving on the highway this time. I understand that Hyundai has other vehicles experiencing engine problems, not sure if my vehicle is may be experiencing a similar engine part failure.
2017 Hyundai Elantra brakes complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 48, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Have had the vehicle throw a code for a misfire 4 times in the 30,000 miles I have driven it. The times I have taken it to Hyundai dealerships in Northglenn and Boulder, Colorado they tried an update and just swap ignition coils to different cylinders. Example misfire is cylinder 3. They swap number 3 and 4 ignition coils to see if they can recreate the problem I the new cylinder. There is already a TCS 20-FL-001h. I recommend a full recall of these defective ignition coils be put out as the problems are still occurring. The problem is reoccurring and the time it takes to get into the shop is 3 weeks out at this time. By the time I get it in the code usually resolves and I have to wait until I get violent shakes and poor acceleration to indicate it is back. Had an accident in January if 2023 and it seemed the brakes were t working as they should. Twice after that the brakes felt as if they weren’t stopping as well as they should. I took the vehicle in and had the rear drum brakes adjusted and that seemed to fix the problem.
The cars breaks are difficult to stop, it does not slow down. The steering wheel is very stiff to turn. And my car was stolen due to Hyundai not equiping it with an immobilizer. It was recovered smashed in the front, no airbags were deploited. I have photos for proof.
Had bought the vehicle at 72k miles, and drove fine for a few months before the engine started to sound like it was roaring (like the exhaust had came undone), shortly after vehicle started stalling and dieting turning left (have video evidence of this in parking lot) did not take vehicle in to be serviced as it seemed a lot of the time to be a one off issue but now the vehicle has lost a lot of low speed acceleration, and had begun knocking at 80k miles where it was looked at by an independent mechanic which stated that the engine was severely low on oil. Have been driving since as it is the only way for me to get back and forth to work and the problems have been getting worse to the point the vehicle will refuse to start, or just act like it’s lost a gear and is stuck in neutral
The brake system continually fails intermintently and is placing the driver and all passengers at risk of injury and or even death. The brake pedal stiffens not allowing pressure to be applied to use brakes. The pedal has to be pressed in aggressivly 5-10 times before finally allowing brake assist to help brake the vehicle. Once pedal begins to activate again it is followed with heavy grinding then finally almost resumes as normal with normal braking. The brake assist system has failed on almost 10 occasions on myself and has been taken in for repairs 4 times and fails to be repaired and appears to not ever be located. The recall regarding the brake booster was fixed, but yet brakes continued to fail after repair. The dealership has since taken it back in for repair and said they located leaking rear back brake pistons and repaired that. I was given car back and the next day experienced brake failure on 2 occasions on the freeway. I immediately gave the vehicle back to the dealer where it is today and they now believe it is the ABS system modular. The dealership continues to take it in but fails to locate the issue causing brake system failure. There have been no warning lamps or other issues that have relation to brake system failure. Since issue appeared first 2 months ago, I have replaced brake pads, brake fluid flush, brake booster recall, back brake pistons, and now ABS modular, and brakes continue to still fail.
Back left door doesn't open dangerous in case of emergency AC compressor melted replaced and now it's making noises struts bolts came loose brakes and shaking whole car
I took my vehicle in for an oil change and they stated that the ball joint are loose and struts/shocks are circle on the inspection form. I still have my warranty on the vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 hyundai elantra. The contact stated while driving 2 MPH and while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle failed to come to a complete stop. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer palm springs hyundai (3919 e palm canyon dr suite a, palm springs, ca 92264, (760) 202-8888) where it was diagnosed with needing the brake circuit error switch to be replaced. The vehicle was been repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 18,646.
This is my third hyundai and for some reason my front breaks were completely shot and I had to spend $567.65 to have them replaced. After searching other cars this should not have happened this early especially with almost all highway driving. I had been thinking about another hyundai, but with this problem I am thinking maybe a different brand may be better. This problem had not occured before.breaks were repaired at dealer otherwise I might just lose my warrenty. I can tell you I am not a happy customer of hyundai at this point at 36,000 miles.
When trying to make a sudden br.ake, the vehicle took longer to brake than it should have. The tires and brake pads were in great condition and I know this because I had got them checked out prior to my road trip which is when the incident took place. Out of all the cars I have driven, none of them have took that long to make a complete stop. If there had been a car in the intersection, I would have definitly hit them which is very scary. As a result of this I now keep a much longer distance when driving behind others and I also brake ahead of time scared that one day the car might not stop at all.
The vehicle was being adjusted while parking along side a curb on a hill. The driver pulled forward, then attempted to stop in order to put the car in reverse to get closer to the curb, but the brake pedal would not depress. The car began to roll down the hill and hit the back of a parked SUV and ended up wedged under the back of the SUV. The entire front end of the vehicle was smashed, but the airbag never deployed.
When I brake the brakes don't respond properly

When I go around curves (left hand) my traction control light will flash and I will not have control over my brakes (it will feel as if I am hydroplaning) this occurs randomly and for not set reason/ I am not speeding or hitting my brakes when this occurs. I have been told from my dealership that I needed tires, I got tires, and it is still happening.
Since I have had the car from 2017 to now, there has always been an issue with the engine. The car will shake and then slow for a few seconds and the engine light will pop on. The breaks are sometimes very hard. I sometimes have to push harder on them, but then they make a weird noise. It is quite scary.
My car have problem with electric system the brake light fail every 2 weeks. When change the shift to drive to reverse loss the reverse
I was driving a safe distance behind a car that came to a sudden stop in front on me. The car that stopped in front on her was an older model explorer 4 dr. There was also a at that suddenly stopped in front of the explorer . As I applied my brakes it was as if the car wouldn't stop. I'm not sue if the car in front of me brake lights were working because I can't see how I hit the car from behind ! My car was totaled and my insurance company dropped me for the accident ! I was on a city street.

Puchase my elantra in june 2017, when it rain or first thing in the am the brakes will make a sound like I need new breaks and like the rotor need replaced. I took it in and they said everything was find. One year later still have the same problem. The seatbelt light comes on and continues to beep with no one sitting in the seat and the only way I can get it to go off is to snap the seatbelt. Sometimes I have access to my bluetooth phone and sometimes it doesn't work or the display is not accessible
Was driving on the highway at speeds of around 25-30 MPH...car in front of me slowed down so I attempted to slow down. I pressed on brake pedal but car did not stop. If felt like it started to start then slipped and gained speed resulting in a front end crash. This model has a recall but when I put in my VIN it says not affected bythe recall on these brakes but I'm seeing similar complaints.
