2017 Hyundai Elantra engine complaints
Page 10 of 11: complaints 251 to 280 of 294, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My vehicle is a 2017 hyundai elantra with 41,000 miles. I am the second owner. On december 3rd, 2019, I was driving vehicle car approximately 60 MPH on the highway in traffic. As my foot was pressing on the accelerator, the vehicle began to slow down, and the RPM needle began to bounce around. I pulled my vehicle off to the side of the road and restarted the vehicle. The engine light was not on. At this point the dealership was not open and the engine light was not on, so I decided to wait till the morning to contact the hyundai dealership. As I drove home, I stopped at a red light and the vehicle began to stall. I pulled the car into the nearest parking lot and left it there overnight. The hyundai shop kept my vehicle two days. They gave me a loaner car for the second day, so I did not miss another day at work. They stated the issue was 'faulty ignition coils' and replaced the wires. It was covered under manufactures warrantee thankfully. Today, december 12th, I got in my vehicle to go to work and the vehicle shook when I started it. The engine light came on immediately and I called the maintenance shop. They had a loaner for me waiting, and I am now waiting to hear what is wrong with it this time. I have put on approximately 400 miles on the vehicle in the last 4 days.
Purchased car from drivetime march 2019- had sporadic problems with steering, with acceleration issues. Car was driving ok until the week of dec. 1st -check engine light came on 12/4 then went off. On 12/5 check engine light and battery came on and car stopped work while in parking lot, after 20 minutes turned car on-it started up ,but kept shutting off while driving on city streets. Ended up at the pepboy's diagnosed with engine failure.
I got my elantra brand new! I traded a 2016 shaker challenger...I have had it about 2 years. With less then 80,000 miles on my engine and I have never had any accidents. My engine just shut off while driving. As I try turning it back on, there is a clanging noise from under the hood...car wouldnt accelerate over 35 or so...I limped home having the car shut off at least 4 times within 15 miles. Barely making it home. I have had regular oil changes as my grandparents own a shop in princeton just a couple towns away...my car has sat in my shop for almost a year now...its very disappointing. I lost a job and have still not been able to get a different vehicle going or even afford to get this one fixed, as I am a single mother of 4 kids. I am a very safe and cautious driver. I had just asked a shop about pricing an engine rebuild and they are the ones who informed me that the 2017 2.0 has a recall and to look into this further...please help... -a desperate mother
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 hyundai elantra. While driving 25 MPH, the vehicle stalled and completely shut off. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was restarted and functioned normally; however, the failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the shaft sensor was replaced twice, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to parkway hyundai (24050 creekside rd, santa clarita, ca 91355, (661) 750-4042) where it was determined that there was no failure with the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no failure with the vehicle. The failure mileage was 66,793.
When driving on the highway for a short road trip the engine warning light and bell came on saying that the engine was overheating. Pulled over on the side of the road and popped the hood to find the radiator wet and smelling sweet. I limped the car the few miles and had the car towed to the local dealership. The dealer ship stated that the radiator fan was loose causing the blade to rub a whole in the radiator causing a hole to form. They also replaced the oil in the car to ensure that the oil was not compromised after getting so hot. Replaced with havoline synthetic.
1.the car while reversing into driveway shook violently and had a complete loss of power. (m.I.l, battery, & oil pressure) light all came on at once. Restarted car managing to get it off the street and it died again within feet. Car was towed to dealership and nothing found. 8/31/18 2. The car 11 days later attempted to shut off while stopped on a elevated highway off ramp. I was forced to make an illegal turn to prevent car from shutting off and potently rolling back. Reversing in driveway again car attempted to shut off but was not successful. The same lights as before displayed again. Dealer cleaned PCM & battery grounds. 9/10/2018 3. 9/20/19 while parked the car attempted to stalled. The RPM's dropped quick and stabilized. No lights displayed. Dealer has not check out the vehicle yet but hyundai has been made aware of this. 4.the vehicle while accelerating up my employers drive was the car hesitates unless gas is pressed more then normal. The car has not stalled yet on these conditions. The vehicle has had all service done on the intervals per hyundai. The vehicle currently had just over 16k miles.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 hyundai elantra. Whether the vehicle was stopped or while driving in traffic and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle hesitated and jerked. The vehicle was taken to ken garff hyundai (717 south west temple, salt lake city, utah 84101, 801‑257‑3200) where the dual clutch was reset; however, the repair did not correct the failure. The contact took the vehicle to young hyundai (333 wall avenue, ogden ut, 84401) where it was kept for six days. The dealer cleaned the intake manifold, but the failure continued. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was 200.
My car intermittently begins to idle rough and stall while in drive. The system check in the car normally reveals nothing. On occasion it will give a message regarding the ems. , I took it to the dealership, and ask them to check and they could find nothing wrong. This check was done at approximately 59,000 miles. After the system check at the dealership the automobile stop having stalling problems for a while. The car is now at 76000 + miles and is beginning to stall again while in drive. It is also showing signs of idling rough with no indicator or system check revealing any problem. Just recently it has begin to stall again and the check engine light comes on intermittently and then goes back off. This presents a safety hazard when driving or transporting others. Specifically, rough idling can happen when the car is in park. Stalling of the engine occurs when the car is in drive only or in reverse gear.
My elantra turned off while I was driving it, within 30 minutes the car turned off 3 freaking times, which almost caused an accident but I managed to turn vehicle on right away and move to the side of the road. No warning lights came on or check engine lights came, thank god I was alone and did not have my 5 year old with me. Hyundai needs to really look into all these problems asap
Engine dies intermittently at various speeds. Rmp's drop, engine light comes on and engine dies. At times there will be a shake from the engine and a loud rumbling sound while the fan was on prior to engine shutting off. Vehicle does restart immediately 90% of the time and drives normal. These episodes happen several times while driving. At one point I had my child in the vehicle, I was entering the interstate and the entrance ramp was onto the fast lane in rush hour traffic. I was traveling at a fast speed of approx. 65-70 MPH as my vehicle stalled once again, I lost control of steering power. There were several vehicles behind me that had to slam on their brakes and veer off the road to avoid hitting me. It was a very scary situation to be in, nevertheless unsafe. My vehicle has been serviced with my local hyundai dealership 3 times as of today. It's going back today for a 4th attempt. Service call #1: cannot duplicate and no codes present, bring back when it happens again. Service call #2: cannot duplicate and no codes present, reset adaptive values and road tested rescanned no codes present, bring back if any other issues. Service call #3: finally got a duplication, no codes present still, replaced front engine cover and exhaust cvvt phaser per hyundai tech line. After having my vehicle back for the third attempt the engine dies twice within 45 minutes.
This is the second time this happened when driving on the road the car started shaking it would not increase in speed taken it to the dealer it was the ignition coil #3 the dealer stated that this is a common problem and might happen again as hyundai will not cover to replace all 4 coils just the bad one that was in may 2019 now it started shaking again this time I was backing up out of a parking spot it is ignition coil #4 only 3 months later I had to put the car in park and wai for the shaking to stop blocking traffic
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 hyundai elantra. While driving various speeds, the vehicle suddenly shut off. Moments later, after restarting the engine, the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the cause of the failure was not determined. Flint hills hyundai (7920 e. Highway 24, manhattan, ks) was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 65,000.
There is a check engine light. There is loss of power . Engine does not run properly. Correctly. The dealership can not find a fault code so can not fix it. The car is still under full warranty with premium extended warranty
My engine light came on several times the car starts to act like it's going to stall then the engine light comes on there is like no power to the car a year ago I was driving up a overpass and my car stalled and the engine light came on I seriously could of got killed I want answers to why the engine light and the car starts to break down apparently I feel it's the engine or the power system is failing .
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.
Takata recall. I was driving on a highway and tried to speed up, my check engine light came on and the car was not speeding up or slowing down very well. It was slightly shaking. The check engine light turned off and the car was working normal again, but then the car screen started flashing and ended up shutting off.
Engine coils had to be replaced or switched out two times in two weeks. Car stopped in the middle of driving after it was "fixed" the first time. Causing a dangerous situation
I have a rear crankshaft seal leak in my car. I brought it to the dealership today, 4/4/19 and was told that it is an issue do to an accident. I did not have an accident that would cause this issue. I was told that now I have to replace the transmission. This car is a 2017 with 27,400 miles. I did not have an accident that would cause this issue.
The engine started to make a loud ticking/knock when cold. Hyundai will not do anything saying it is "normal". This car has a 2.0 liter nu engine on the atkinson cycle. There were recalls in the past for the nu engine and it looks like there needs to be another one.

Coils have been replaced to both number 2 and number 3 cylinders and the car does not have 20k on it yet. The symptoms were poor performance, including a feeling like the vehicle was going to stall and the inability to go much over 45 MPH. Check engine light came on both times that this happened.
I first experienced the problem 08/14/18 driving home from work on i295n, the check engine light came on and the car didn't want to accelerate. On 08/16/18 the same problem occurred but this time it lasted until I made it late that evening. I took it to hyundai of orange park 08/17/18 here in jacksonville and the problem could not be duplicated. As I was driving to work 08/22/18 my car started doing the same thing only this time you could feel the vibration of the car not wanting to accelerate and the check engine would go off as I'm changing gears and soon as I am done shifting it stays illuminated.I called the service center again and she says to bring it back in for testing and they can only fix it if they can duplicate the problem. I am very uncomfortable with driving this vehicle in traffic not knowing if it will cutoff and I am hit.
Engine light came on. Whole engine had to be replaced. Found out engines are dangerous and have exploded. Engines are on back order because of so many elantra needing a new engine. This should be investigated because no one is warning elantra owners about this until the cars break down. I am still without my car since june because engines are on back order until late august/early september.
