My 2017 Hyundai Elantra has problems with the ignition coil packs, sensors and engine. The car stalls at lights. It idles very rough and shakes when driving. Acts as if it will stall on the highway and extremely slow acceleration. Dealer told me there was metal parts in my oil, oil was thick sludge and that I never changed the oil. False and I have the oil change receipts to prove my oil changes. I have taken the car to the dealer numerous times for the stalling and no acceleration problems. Dealer can never get the codes or replicate the issues.
2017 Hyundai Elantra fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 30 of 30, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Since buying my vehicle new, it has had three ignition coils fail at different times. The car begins to shudder, rough idle, not accelerate and all of a sudden just will not respond to giving it gas. This happens at any speed therefore it is a danger especially entering or exiting highways or switching lanes. It has been unpredictable. The check engine light does come on some of the time as this problem is occurring, not before. The dealer replaced the first two coils (51, 576 miles and 56, 446 miles) under the warranty. The third coil replaced (78, 391 miles), they would not cover under warranty, nor would they replace the 4th coil as a precaution.
I’ve been having problems with my timing chain and power train for over a year. Got the timing chain fixed and now all i’m seeing is new problems with bad ignition coils and spark plugs and transmission problems. I’ve only had this car for 4 years and keep the maintenance up to date.
I am the owner of a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. I bought the car for my daughter for transportation to and from school and work. As her boyfriend was driving on a 3-lane highway in heavy traffic, the car would no longer accelerate, and the steering wheel locked. The engine just stopped and seized up. The car lost all power and steering capability. He rolled the car into the left-hand turn lane. A police officer pulled up about 30 seconds later, said that he was obstructing traffic, and to move the car out of the turn lane. Her boyfriend had to push the car across the median, and 3 lanes of traffic, to get to the opposite side of the highway's shoulder, by himself. When he nearly had the car off of the road, on the opposite side of the highway, a pedestrian approached and helped him finish pushing it out of the road. This could have caused a major car accident, or someone could've been killed or injured while pushing the car. I have moved one hour away from my daughter, so I cannot provide her with a ride to and from school and work. She and I are stuck paying $301.18/mo on a car that is inoperable; it's just sitting and rotting at her apartment complex. We are also stuck paying $135.87/mo for her car insurance on a car that is inoperable. Also, this model year, 2017, has a problem with peeling paint too. The car has missing paint patches all over. Previously, at just 51,000 miles, the car had stalling problems. The car would just shut off while driving. It was repaired at Hyundai. When we got it back, it was still doing the same thing, and had to go back in again for service at Hyundai. I filed a formal complaint with Hyundai Consumer Affairs. Hyundai should have already issued recalls for these problems that many people are experiencing. I've been doing research and have found that this year and model Hyundai is very problematic. They are refusing to take responsibility by not issuing recalls on these recurrent problems that they're aware of.
The contact owned a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, the fuel warning light flickered and the radio activated and deactivated independently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was determined that the vehicle was performing as designed due to a satellite not being connected. On another occasion, the vehicle accelerated on its own and the brake pedal hesitated to respond. The contact depressed the brake pedal to the floorboard in order for the vehicle to come to a stop. The vehicle was taken to another dealer due to the above failures; in addition to shuttering and jerking while depressing on the accelerator, as if it was not receiving fuel. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact did a private diagnosis which indicated electrical system malfunction. The contact was informed to start using a halo battery charger to jump the vehicle. The contact then stated while driving at approximately 40 MPH at night, the vehicle started accelerating inadvertently, and she then turned on high beams for better visibility to pull over safely; however, they failed. The contact then pulled her emergency brakes and ended in a ditch. All air bags deployed. The contacts phone and alert device did not operate. The contact was able to call her son, who called 911. The police, fire, and paramedics arrived on the scene. The fire department cut the contact out of the destroyed vehicle. There were no medical treatments on the scene. The contact was transported to the hospital. The entire driver's side of the vehicle from the front end to the back rear and the entire front of the vehicle was destroyed. The contact experienced a bad concussion and blacked out. The vehicle was towed to the wrecking yard. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 44,000.
Bad Ignition Colis Poor Fuel Economy: if you notice that your car is getting less mileage from a full tank than normal, this could mean that you have a bad ignition coil. This takes place because, when your, spark plugs aren’t getting a certain power, the system will try to compensate by taking more fuel. Hard Starts And Stalling: the ignition needs to spark at just the right time for the engine to start and a vehicle to run. If an ignition coil is malfunctioning and not delivering the required voltage to the spark plugs, you will find it hard to start the engine. Misfiring Engine: A malfunctioning ignition coil will cause your vehicle to misfire when you accelerate. In some other cases, a misfire could cause your vehicle to shut down while you are driving
Vehicle loses all acceleration when making turns or coasting slowly. Only way to restore acceleration is to put vehicle in park and turn the key into the off position and then restart the car.

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
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 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.
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.
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!

My car will completely shut off when traveling at a slow speed. I could be cruising to a red light and the car will completely shut off. Traffic on the interstate and I need to slow down...you can bet my car will shut off. Going up a hill...my car will completely shut off. I was almost in an accident two days ago; as I slowed down to travel up a small hill to the parking garage, my car shuts off and the car behind me had to slam on breaks. Each time I have to put the car in park and restart the car. This is not a fuel saving issue as hyundai doesn't not offer that technology/option. This is a serious safety concern as the car stalls when traffic is expected to be moving. I have now taken my car in twice for this issue.
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.
The car hesitates, jerks and pulls at the acceleration moment when stoped. Foor instance im ligths or traffic jams. It causes a completely lost of power and terrible shaking. This happens after 20mins drive and the goes for the rest of the day, it is more evident driving in city.
When attempting to accelerate after turning corner, vehicle almost stops, then surges ahead. This occurs intermittently and also when pulling away from stop light.
