The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the vehicle was idling rough. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic where it was diagnosed with needing the camshaft and crankshaft replaced. The vehicle was repaired but continued to experience failure. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that they were unable to assist. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
The car is losing antifreeze. There is no antifreeze on the ground. From my understanding this has been an ongoing problem with this model of car and it needs to be a recall. I was informed that it’s losing antifreeze due to deficits in the exhaust system.
Consumes oil at a fast rate about 1.5 quarts every 1,000 miles. Car burns oil way too fast the dealership and Hyundai do not want to deal with it.
The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while her son was driving approximately 35 mph, the engine seized. The driver detected smoke and oil leaking from the vehicle. The vehicle was pushed into a parking lot. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified however, no further assistance was provided. The contact mentioned the rod punctured the engine.The approximate failure mileage was 72,000.
Drove my car yesterday when it stalled. I was able to start it again and pulled to the side of the highway. The engine was knocking loudly. I turned off the car and called a tow truck. When hyundai received my car they told me it was the rod bearings.they initially told me id be covered regardless of warranty as its a known issue. They called me late that day and told me they won't cover it since I'm 18,000 over the powertrain warrenty. This very problem has been recalled from 2013 upto 2019. However my car isn't listed. They told me ill need a new engine which costs $6000 for parts and labor. After researching im not the first this has happened to.
I noticed the car losing power (2017 Elantra) took it to my local mechanic and got a misfire code on coil 3. Replaced it and the next day took a long trip to New Jersey, the car stalled at low speed with the CEL on pulled to the side restarted the car and proceeded to drive the rest of the way. I felt unsafe as the engine felt like it was struggling. On the way back I decided to tow it back to NY. I drove it the next day to my mechanic and he said there were no stored codes, he drove it and said he could do nothing. I drove it the next day and the same problem happened, luckily on a side street. Took it back to him and made him drive it around for a 4 day period nothing happened. My son drove it and the same issue happened luckily on a side street. I then took it to the Hyundai dealer and they said they got a misfire code. They replaced the remaining coils, changed the engine coolant and cleaned the fuel injection system. Maybe me wait practically 2 weeks with no loaner. Drove the car and the same issue occurred. Again luckily on a side street. I called my mechanic and he said drive locally and if it happens to call him so he will hook up a scanner to get a code. Right in my neighborhood the same thing happened so I called him and he was unable to get a code, he thought it could be either cam or crankshaft sensor, he tried both and the stall occurred when he was driving, he then changed the MAP sensor and drove it for 30 minutes without an issue. I went away for 5 days and came back and drove the car which seemed fine, but the same problem happened. This is a dangerous problem and feel unsafe driving this car. It has only 46.000 miles on it. I have a case opened with corporate and waiting for them to contact me.
I bought the car 3 years ago and during the first year I had to replace an engine coil, a few months later Inhad to replace the other 5. On July 3rd I was driving on the highway with my family and while I was stopped in traffic I heard a slight whine and then a knocking sound coming from the engine. I then started driving again and felt the steering wheel lock up and the gas tighten up and I realized the car had shut off. I had to immediately veer off the highway to avoid hitting somebody and noticed that the electronics were working. I then restarted the car and drove home through local backroads where the car kept shutting off intermittantly. I then took my car to a mechanic who notified me there was sludge in the engine and he had 3 to 4 other customers he recently has seen this happen to in regards to Hyundai Elantra’s. I tried to contact the dealership who accused me of not taking care of my vehicle. I currently have an ope case with Hyundai corporate. From what I’ve seen online Hyundai is aware of these engine issues about piston knock and wngine sludge due to piston issues yet has not offered a recall or any type of customer assistance. The engine failure could have not only grievously injured my family but any other drivers I may have hit or been hit by due to this known engine issue.
On 6/22/21 I took my vehicle in to the dealer for a warranty repair. There was a misfire on the Number 3 engine coil. My vehicle was returned and one day later I had the same warning light go off on my car. I returned to the dealer on 6/30/21 and there they replaced the Number 2 engine coil. The dealership told me that previously Hyundai would replace all 4 coils because it is a known issue, however because of cost they began only replacing them as they went bad. He said "they will all go bad, it's just a matter of if they will still be under warranty" In my opinion, Hyundai should still be replacing all coils if it is a known issue. My car was nut running correctly and would not fully accelerate. This could definitely be a safety hazard.
Engine make a lot of noise when I started, I have a situation where the engine stall and have to come to an stop, I bought the car about 2 years ago I took to the mechanic and I been told that engine has a problem and needs to be replaced staying that he has seen this problems on several vehicles same as mine with the same kind of engine, I took to the dealer and they told me the same thing but they said they can do anything about it. I don't know what to do with something like this its practically a brand new car, I also contact manufacturer with no luck.
The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine compartment. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed and diagnosed but not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 42,803.
Driving with no signs or dash lights came on to warning me of any issues. Car started acting like it was stalling out one morning parking it at work. Went to leave work had a very slight almost not noticeable knock sound went I started up. Car was acting like it was running harder then usually. Continued home and my car started seizing up and caused my car to stall completely out while driving on the interstate. I was a mile from home, started my car back up and continued to get somewhere safely and out of danger of the interstate. It stalled out multiple times before reaching my driveway. By then my car seized up and was making a loud knocking sound. I push the car into the garage and check the oil and there was no indication of any oil on my dip stick. Went ahead gave my car an oil change earlier then scheduled. 1.5 quarts of oil only came out and was low almost 4 quarts. No signs of leaking or using oil. No indication dash lights came on to warning me of this issue. With in 3000 mileage of my last oil change, I lost almost 4 quart of oil, no signs or lights and now I have a blown motor in my 5 year old car. This is a huge saftey concern of my, with no indication I had an issue and was stalling out on the interstate/while driving to reach a safe place to look at my car.
So my car has been randomly started doing this sputtering like I'm getting ready to run out of gas and feels like the car is going to shut off. Well I had a full tank of gas so I thought maybe the sparks plugs. Had them changed along with my oil. That does not seem to be the problem so once I get where I'm going and turn the car off it seems to not do it. But it will randomly happen. About every week or two and I don't know what the problem is. When I'm driving on the interstate and it happens I freak out thinking my car is going to shut off and I start to lose speed and everything and the OBD reader states that it is a misfire but that's not the case when I have brand new spark plugs in
The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while driving 50 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning.

The contact called and made the local dealer aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.
Unknown. Car randomly wasn’t a to shut off and check engine light comes on only when gas pedal is pressed. Had taken to dealership to get fixed but it still happens
Tl* the contact called on behalf of his daughter who owned a 2017 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20 MPH and coming to a stop, the vehicle loss motive power. The vehicle was restarted. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to stew hansen hyundai (11344 hickman rd, clive, ia 50325) who replaced the battery and reprogrammed the ecu. The failure recurred with the vehicle hesitating. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
Piston rod bearings and main crankshaft bearings. According to dealership the bearings are bad even though I had oil changed at dealership every 5000 mile during the first yr of ownership and oil changed every 3000 miles after that.
A few months after getting the car the engine kept stalling the engine light would only turn on after stalling each time I have brought it to multiple hyundai dealerships they keep saying it's just a spark plug issue. It's frustrating since once off the lot a week later it's randomly stalling again.this never fixed the issue. The car has stalled both on roads, roundabouts and freeways causing me to nearly be in crashes multiple times, I do not feel safe driving this car. The car is in motion and the engine just stops the car stalls and then the engine light comes on. I had been able to start it and get it moving it's random when the engine stalls.today I took it to another car repair center they said the engine had a ton of metal particles and chunks, like the engines on the 2014 elantra's. They suggested I file a report to the federal safety agency and bring it to the dealership as there is no way a engine or piston should look this bad and that the metal pieces look like they are from the manufacturing process. I'm not sure why the dealerships never checked the engine completely regarding this issue they could have seen the metal fragments earlier. I'm worried that I won't be lucky on the road next time the engine stalls and I'm worried about others having the same issue.I'm worried about my safety and others when driving. Please do not hesitate to contact me regarding more information.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown.
37k miles. It started with the engine running roughly, so we replaced a coil ourselves. Seemed to fix the issue but a week later there was an intermittent noise from the engine which sounded like a very small exhaust leak (like pffffft). Occasionally, also intermittent, the engine would make a very loud clanky noise. Car shut off without warning while driving <5 MPH. Our mechanic said the code was for the 2nd coil, so we replaced all 4 & spark plugs - just to be safe. Two days later, the same noise issues returned and the car shut off twice while driving in a well-trafficked downtown area (5-10 MPH). It did not make noise or stall while idling. We had the car towed to the same mechanic, no codes this time. He replicated the issues by letting the car idle for an hour, then driving it 5-10 miles, it made noises and stalled while going up a very slight incline at <5 MPH. He said it sounds like something to do with a loss of oil pressure sending the engine out of time, and the loud noise is the crankshaft. I don't know anything about cars and am just repeating what was told to me. At this time he drained some oil and found metal shavings. He said he could look into the problem but he would have to pull the engine and probably take it apart. He didn't want us to waste money trying to diagnose what seems to be a known issue and a blown engine. Also noted that there are few, if any replacement engines out there. In the past few months, I've had a tire sensor malfunction, the radio/media screen go blank multiple times, and the passenger seatbelt notification goes off even when it's just my cell phone and wallet on the seat. All of the electrical issues self-resolved so I didn't even have time to get too annoyed before this major engine failure. Three weeks from the first noise until this point.
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 am 2nd owner of vehicle (bought with 36252 miles) around 76xxx vehicle starting making ticking noises I brought into carmax where I was told nothing was wrong. I got an oil change and went on my way. 2 days later the car shut off while driving. Brought it back carmax again states nothing wrong. The car is constantly shutting off while driving long distance. At 90525 my car shut off while driving on a bridge brought it into hyundai were they stated I needed a new motor but it wasnt covered under warranty due to "sludge" I live in fl its hot and I live down a 3 mile backroad that will cause build up according to research. Hyundai wont help and this is a safety issue especially for my kids now im stuck making payments on a car that cant be driven and im 2000 in rental car fees. And dont have the best credit to get another car. Something needs to be done asap as I see this complaint multiple times
Hyundai avoids taking care of their cars by sending out general statements for techs to "fix" these issues but they never do they say I didnt hear it when brought in mulitple suspension electrical issues my husbands 2019 hyundai eletrical going out. The engine issue all they did was say didnt do it for me. They need to replace all these known issues it is braking down the whole vehichle for both of us. I believe hyundai is negligent in worrying about the cost of afull recall so they deny anything.I have videos documents, my car went from red gas to green random clicks deterioration. My hubsands car is the only owner engine shudders randomly they do a fake iinvestigation. Hyundai does not care if you die.
I bought my 2017 elantra se 2.0 in april of 2020 my car keeps stalling when I let off the gas and when I make turns left or right at low speeds very scary and unsafe and also engine noises and shakes real bad sometimes as well I still owe 20000 for this lemon hyundai should be held responsible for this as its been a serious problem for years from what I read very dangerous this happens on city streets and expressway
My 2017 hyundai elantra began to shake and refused to shift above 40mphs on a road posted 45. The engine light came on and the rmp gauge show that it was stuck at 2rmps. I slowed the vehicle and turn on my flashers and in my traveling to a safe pull off location. The engine light went off, the shaking stopped, and the car resume a normal shifting pattern. The very next day while traveling in the car the same thing occurred. I explained the problem when arrived at hyundai and while idling and waiting to the car person to check me in. The car began to do short shudders; this was directly witnessed by a car service employee. The 2nd cylinder ignition coil was replaced. In my second visit I was sure of what the problem was because I had experienced the same car symptoms several months earlier. Here is the problem this was second cylinder I have had to have replaced in about 3000 miles and several months; my car only has 25,0000 miles. This is a known issue on the repair form it states ecu upgrade.
Back doors will not open. Called dealership and said there is no warranty to cover having them fixed and it will be over $1000 to have the problem corrected. Driving down the road the car shut off and started smoking. It says the car is on and running but it is not
Coolant level is on full but the heat does not work. The thermostat is on h, which means the car is overheating. No warning symbols are appearing on the dashboard. I could be driving on a city street the car thermostat indicates the car is overheating.
The car started turning off while driving the car, not making a sound . This stated when bh the car made 70,000 miles with warning,it will turn of right a stop and while driving , the problem started in june 2020, the extended warranty will not honor the claim I took my car to hyundai after several attempts trying to find what wrong. Hyundai stated it is engine failure, and I making payments on the car.
The car has been stalling since last february, mostly during turns, and while deaccelerating. Sometimes it idles rough and stalls at traffic lights. I took it to my dealer back then, and they told me the problem was caused by metal shavings from the engine plugging the valve that regulates fuel. I had performed regular oil changes and the dealer believed that the problem was caused by a manufacturing defect. The dealer contacted hyundai, and hyundai refused to remedy the defect. The problem temporarily goes away if I get an oil system flush, which I have been doing frequently. After about a month, the car begins stalling again, presumeably because the shavings are plugging the valve again. The car has become difficult to start. This morning it would not start at all.
The issue has happened while my vehicle has been stationary and in motion, on a ciy street, on a highway and while turning. The check engine light comes on as the car shakes. If I'm in motion, the light will stay on while my foot is on the accelerator, turn off when I take it off the accelerator and come back on when it reaches 1rpm's. If I'm stopped it will jump forward when I press the gas to accelerate (the whole time the check engine light is on). While I'm stationary, it will stay on while it's at 1rpm's or below. I have gone to the dealer a couple times already to get to the bottom of it. The first time they told me it had to do with my spark plugs so I did the service to get that taken care of. The second time I went they told me they couldn't find any code to indicate a problem. Here we are again and I'm having the same issue. This is dangerous and needs to be address as I've currently read many 2017 hyundai elantra owners are having the same issue. I don't see the benefit of bringing it to the dealer again if I'm just going to pay for a service that isn't going to rectify the problem and they continue to say there is no problem. I do have video to show the problem.
