2017 Hyundai Elantra engine complaints
Page 9 of 11: complaints 221 to 250 of 294, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Car stalled on highway on 11-01-2020, passed both inspections on 8-29-2020. Purchased car on 9-1-2020 through drivetime. I have inspection paper work from buyer showing everything passed. Changed oil on 10/14/2020 through jiffylube with only the air filter being the only issue flagged.
2017 hyundai elantra car started stalling at red lights and when stopping. Almost crashed twice. It starts back up. It started 10\12\20. It happened a few times and then the check engine light came on with code p3006. About 20 miles it went off. This is very dangerous and needs to be fixed. A lot of people is complaining about the same issue. It need to be recalled and repaired.
The car would stall in the middle of driving, the most recent time on a major highway. The vehicle stalls with no reason at all. This incident has happened 5 or 6 times with no help from the dealer as they have not found the issue. This vehicle is unsafe to drive.
First the car has been acting like it's going to die even while driving it. Now I'm having issues with my steering wheel, it every once in a while is difficult to turn but it's off and on. It's always while I'm actively driving it's been both city street and highways.
I purchase this vehicle in 7/2018 and had it for just over 2years and the vehicle started stalling and stopping then soon just shut down as I was driving. After getting it tow home and had a mechanic look at it. I was told the engine was bad and it was not fixable. I'm have a car I'm financing and can't use the care again. I have contact hyundai for over a week now and no one have response. My case manager will not call me back on this. I have a case number and call everyday and all I get it rude supervisor who do not care.
Purchased a hyundai elantra 2017 from a dealership on july 7, 2020. The 2nd day it stalled on me feeling like it's in neutral with engine light on. I returned to the dealership and they replace the ignition coil as and said they ordered a part to return in 2 wks. This had something to do with the airbag under the passenger seat. They kept the car another 2 weeks. I was happy when they called that it was ready. Each time I had to pay the 2 tolls to go to them in jersey. Before I got on the garden state good, the car started shaking, couldn't go over 45 MPH with the engine light on again. I returned it. They kept it 2 weeks. I have my car with the engine light on still and called to complain but unable to reach a manager each time. I used up over $200 of toll money which I used up plus getting someone to take me to drop off or pick up the car had to pay for gas and toll. Produced the e-zpass receipts and everything and every time I go and ask for the refund, the owner is never there. I do not want to have my new car break down with me in the middle of winter. I requested a list of the things that were done to try to resolve the engine light issue several times even from the salesman who does not take my calls or when he does, he don't know what to tell me. Said he'll ask and get back to me. No response. The first day I paid for the car and we were happy to be going home, my daughter and I noticed the front bumper all broken up and it wasn't like that when we inspected and chose it before paying. The salesman sal said there's nothing he can do about that as I already paid for the car and must accept it that way. I brought it to a saleswoman attention the last time I went to pick up my car and they only said the manager/owner will reach out to me. Never heard from them. Still didn't receive plates. I feel like they took advantage of me as a senior citizen.
Engine turned off while driving, usually after braking but also while in motion. Luckily, it was at a stop light or while I was in light traffic. It has happened on more than one occasion after driving an average of 30-40 minutes. There doesn't seem to be a pattern or a specific reasoning as to why.
Throttle position switch hesitates upon acceleration. Vehicle was in motion, on a city street and highway. Engine seemed to have no power.
Ignition coil pack failure. 1 coil pack failed (started failing at 40,000 and it was 44,000mi before the issue was fixed ) & another is failing (at aprox48,000). I had to take my car to hyundai multiple times to have this rectified and in that time my vehicle was running rough at idle, while driving. The vehicle attempted to stall while driving at interstatespeeds on a merge ramp between two interstates duringthefirst instance of failure. Hyundai would not rectify the issue without a check engine light presented at the dealership. The first coil pack was replaced. Now another coil pack is failing and the dealership refuses to fix the matter without a check engine light. I visited the dealership and reported my most recent failing ignition coil on 9/1/2020. The rough idle and running rough is becoming more frequent which means the vehicle is likely to stall while driving. The 2017 kia forte has the same engine and has a tsb on this issue to be fixed. The forte the federal safety agency id # is 10127032. Due to the stalling while driving this is a safety issue and needs to be rectified. My vehicle is under my factory 5yr/ 60k warranty with hyundai and I am the original owner.
In february 2020, my check engine light came on after my car began to shake violently and lose speed as I drove on the city streets and highways.the serviceman replaced the coils in my car. Within a week, my car started to shake and lose speed again. I took it back to the dealership where they "fixed" it again to no avail. In early march, my car was still experiencing the same problems: shaking violently and losing speed as I drove on both the highway and on city streets. I chose to try a different service center. They attempted to find a problem with my car by running the codes, but he said that nothing popped up on the screen. I told him that my check engine light flashes on and off when I put my foot on and off of the accelerator. He sent me on my way without fixing my car, but he told me to bring my car back into the service center without shutting off my car as soon as the check engine light comes on the dashboard. He told me that this was important, because it would help them be able to detect the issue. Within 15 minutes of pulling off of the parking lot, my check engine light flashed back on and my car began to shake and lose speed again. I turned around immediately and took my car back. They flushed out the fuel line system. Within two weeks, I brought my car back for the same thing, but the serviceman told me that he could not find any issues since the computer showed no issues. Every time I take my car into a hyundai repair center, they tell me that they cannot detect any issues with my car, although I tell them that my car begins to shake and lose speed randomly. It is now sept. 2020, and I am still having the same issues. I am scheduled to take my car into a new hyundai service center in a new state. This is a dangerous car problem that threatens the safety of me and other drivers on the road. Hyundai needs to take action now!
Once again the car began to shake violently and started lunging forward while driving within city limits. Check engine warning light came on. I pulled over and shut the car off. When I restarted the car, the check engine light was no longer illuminated and the car seemed to drive somewhat normally. This was not the first time this happened, and from what I can tell by reading other similar complaints on the federal safety agency website, several people are having these issues as well. It appears to be the ECM, engine control module. Hyundai needs to address this issue asap. It is very dangerous to drive this vehicle. Do not allow them to say you need new spark plugs or a software update. This is a safety issue that needs a recall immediately.
While driving, engine would turn off while driving. As I attempted to accelerate the engine would be off (no acceleration) and the engine, oil, and battery lights would come on. Dashboard electronics and radio would stay on. Put the car in park, turn it off, turn it back on - no dashboard lights on and the car now drives as normal. All instances happened while vehicle was in motion on city streets, most instanced happened while the vehicle was turning. The first time this happened I took it to hyundai lakeland. They said it was because I had low oil (no oil indicator light had been on). "fixed" it by doing an oil change. All subsequent oil changes have been done at hyundai lakeland. 8 months later I experienced the same problem. Car taken to hyundai lakeland. Diagnosed as bad sensors in the engine (sending incorrect information about when the engine needs power) and a bad crankshaft (as a result of the stalling and bad sensors). Because of the multiple occasions that this has occurred and the different diagnoses that it has had from the same dealership, I am unsure if this issue has been taken care of with the last repair. An engine that turns off while the vehicle is in motion creates a dangerous situation of the driver and others as the vehicle ceases forward motion. I have been lucky that this issue has not resulted in a traffic accident.
My car had recently began to shake and buck violently while driving with no warning lights or indicators at 38,000 miles. Three weeks ago before a regular maintenance appointment at my hyundai dealership where I bought the !car, as I turned over the ignition and accelerated the car began to buck and shake violently. As I pressed the gas, the car would not accelerate. I was in the middle of traffic in washington, d.c. So once I was able to safely move over, I turned the car off and back over. No shaking and continued as normal. Once I took the car in the following week, I was told everything was fine and made sure to mention the shaking and bucking and was told that they didn't see anything. The next day following service and receiving my car back, my car began to shake violently again. Still no warning light indicator. I returned the car to the mechanic where my coil packs were updated (I bought my car march 2017 and was never told about any recalls on coil packs that release late 2017 until this moment). Once I received my car back I was informed that everything was okay. Well it was not. The next day I'm driving my car a short distance when two hard shakes happened. One sounded like two metal pieces colliding. I pulled over and turned the car off and back over. The malfunction indicator light is now permanently on. I had to have my car towed and now being told it could be the transmission but no updates. Seriously unsafe and could've now been in multiple accidents although I've regularly serviced at the dealership I purchased my car.
2017 hyundai elantra used ran great for a while, the one of the four coils went bad, started to shake and the dealer replaced the coil, and ran great, and now the car started shaking again and check engine light came on and I set an appointment for the dealer the day I take to the dealer the check engine light went out and it was running great, so I took it to the dealer anyway and they told me it was the coil, and it wasn't covered under warranty anymore, but the car was running great, so I've been driving it, and now every now and then it shakes the check engine light comes on and when I step on the gas the check engine light goes out and the car runs great. There should be a recall!
I bought my 2017 hyundai elantra used 6 months ago. 4 months after I had it the car was shaking violently and did not want to accelerate . Took it to a mechanic he said it was misfiring and replaced ignition coil . It was driving fine for 2 months then while driving to work on a major highway the car started shaking violently again and would not accelerate to speed it was shutting down .. Had to have it towed . Mechanic ran a diagnostic on it and its reading multiple misfires . I can not afford car payment plus having constant repairs done every couple months.. There have been so many of the same complaints on a 2017 hyundai elantra engine problems. This is obviously a real concern for a newer car . Hyundai needs to fix the issue for this year and model . Or there needs to be a lawsuit against hyundai ... These are lemon cars and are unsafe to drive they need to be held responsible for it .
My car is continuously getting check engine light on and the car rattles. Despite, visiting the dealership numerous times, the service center at the hyundai dealership in dickson city, pa cannot solve the problem. 12/10/2019 - my car started to shake and the check engine light came on when I was leaving for work. I pulled over and turned off the car. I turned it on, the light was gone. I took it the dealership on very same day and the service advisor said nothing is wrong with it. Additional services; oil change, brake flush and cooling system were completed. 12/31/2019 ' check engine light came on and car rattles when I was driving on interstate highway doing around 55-60 miles per hour. 01/02/2020 - I took it to the dealership. This time, the service adviser said "a lot of elantras are experiencing this issue and needs software update". They scanned and found code p030100 / misfire. Technician performed software update and all the cost was covered under engine warranty. 01/27/2020 ' check engine light came on and the car started shaking again. This time, the check engine light stayed on. They finally replaced spark-plugs and coil pack on cylinder 2. 03/20/2020 ' due to coronavirus pandemic, I've been working remotely so I haven't driven much. 04/18/2020 ' completed state inspection and emission. Service center performed multi-point inspection and found nothing wrong with the engine. 07/15/2020 - the car stalls again, the check engine light comes on and off. I stopped driving it and dropped it off at the dealership on 07/17/2020. 07/18/2020 - technician did a new software patch for the second time. Additional services: oil change, battery and front brakes replacement completed. I think this need to be investigated and deserve a full recall for all the 2017 hyundai elantra who are experiencing engine issues.
The car is serviced every 3000 miles with an oil change. I was driving to work one day and my tires squalled and my engine locked up and would not start. The engine had to be replaced do to the main bearings failing.
The engine started rough idling periodically (once per week) at the beginning of this year (2020). Restarting the car would usually resolve the problem. It would usually happen after coming to a stop after highway driving. However it began happening with more frequency in april to the point that it could happen multiple times per day. The issue came to the head the first week of may when the car stalled after coming to a stop at a street light. This time it was after only minimal city-street driving. I had to shift into park and start the car again, after which it worked without issue. However the check engine light was on. I took the car to my mechanic same day and they said the code indicated a misfire. They replaced the spark plugs and the ignition coil for the cylinder that misfired. The frequency of the issue decreased significantly after this repair, but it's still rough idling about once per week. I decided to research the problem before having more work done and have found many similar complaints. The car has 41000 mile on it.
While driving on the highway a loud noise was heard like metal falling all the lights on the dash board lit up, the car started slowing down and started to smoke then turned off. Had it towed to a service station and was told that the piston from the engine shot threw the oil pan causing the engine oil to pour out and the causing the engine to seize.
My 2017 elantra lost power and died while I was driving down a county road. Had to put the car in park before it would restart.
Car engine smells like it's burning
Yes I had bought a used 2017 hyundai elantra sei they never informed me of any recalls on this vehicle after I bought the vehicle the motor blew up because of one of the cylinders were sticking because of a factory defect they replaced the motor the second motor started doing the same thing getting stuck and shaking the steering would lock up sometimes where I could not even steer or it was hard to steer why even when I bought the car they did not inform me of recalls when I talk to the car back and have the motor replaced they still did not inform me of any recalls these things cost me to have an accident and hit a telephone pole and totaled my vehicle
I bought a 2017 hyundai elantra limited edition at the end of 2016 it had 43 miles on it. I have taking it to about 6 different dealerships due to transmission issues and engine power loss and out if the 6 I have gone more the a few times. Their response to my concerns about the car is we cannot reproduce this so there is no problem or there's not a check engine light on. Every dealership that I have gone to repeat this saying over and over. When my car shifts into second gear it's almost as if that gear has two more like driving a stick shift but you're shifting too soon so it spits and sputters, in addition to this 3rd 4th 5th gear has a long delay in shifting it also feels like the transmission is slipping as the rpms and speed come up it feels like the transmission grips and you can feel the torque kick in if you will. There's been many times I have to manually shift the car out of 5th into 6th and a few times out of 4th. My car has 38970 miles on it. I had the transmission flush and the engine, ignition coils have been replaced, I use premium gas and fuel injections clearer. Nowadays when I'm driving I have to push the gas pedal halfway down for the car to actually move. This has been going on about six months after I got this card.
