Unable to open drivers front door without trying at least 4 times. This is only once it is in the lock position and I unlock it. Lights in auto position randomly go on and off while driving

My headlamp lightbulbs keep burning out. In 2020 alone I have switched them out 3 times each! Was told that's not normal. Today I switched the passenger side for the 3rd time this year. I'm sure before 2021 I will need to replace the driver side. It's getting expensive! Also my ignition coil has gone out 2ce in 4 years. (yes it's a 2017 but I purchased 6/30/2016) my car shakes and makes weird noise. Same one #1 is the culprit.

The doors wouldn't unlock, then decided to unlock. The vehicle will only make this loud clicking noise. The battery tests good. The headlights and taillights keep coming on and off even though the vehicle is not on at all. All switches are tuned off and it's not in accc mode. Had to disconnect battery and wait for tow truck.

Over the past 2 weeks I have a problem with the head lights shutting off wile driving on main highways at night. This has happened about 8 or 9 times. They will go off when switching from high beam to low beam. If I pull the light switch arm a couple times they do eventually come back on. Also two times in the past 2 weeks my parking lights have come on while parked and car is shut off.

While driving down the highway my headlights shut off completely. Leaving us driving in the dark. It has happened multiple times especially when trying to use blinkers or switch high beams on or off. I took my car to the dealership and they say it's the multifunction switch and want 372.84 to replace it. My warranty has just run out and I have already had to replace the thermostat and now this is out as well as the back door lock actuator. I bought the car new, it's a 2017. I feel the switch and possibly the back door actuator must be faulty.

Several times while driving in the dark when switching from low to high beams or high to low beams, all lights go off causing a very bad safety issue! They come back on after several seconds.

Recently my vehicle started having an issue with the headlights intermittently going out while driving. This has happened several times now and no root cause can be found, this occurs with no warning and while driving at speed. There are also no lights or messages displaying. Very scray on a dark rural road without warning.

My car was parked and all of a sudden I noticed the headlights and tail lights turned on. There was an incident where I live that the fire alarm went off in the apartment building and I just happened to be standing outside and my car's exterior lights turned on by themselves. I had my key and I tried to turn off the car remotely, but the lights would not shut off. I had to go to my car, turn it on, and then shut it off. The same thing happened again the next day about the same time around 11 p.m. I did the same thing. Turned the car on and off and then shut it off and used the key remote to lock it. What is worse, while I was driving at night, I had my right blinker on to make a right turn, and I noticed the head lamps completely went dark when I turned and I didn't do anything, the head lights came back on by themselves. This is a very dangerous situation to be in. Please make note of this.

The check oil light never came on, it's a malfunction. The was no oil in the car, I have regular oil changes, but the engine ceased due to lack of oil and never any warning. Never "check oil light" or "oil low" nothing. When aaa towed they told me oil was leaking that when we checked. The engine is gone and costing me $2,600 to replace on a 2017 ugh. The car stopped in the middle of the street at 3am in the morning. It was driving along and just stopped. The day before the check engine light came on and we had it checked out and the code was p0011 "intake camshaft position timing.

While the car was sitting in the drive, the car was turned off all of the lights except the headlights and reverse lights turned on. The only way I could turn them off is if I turned the car on and back off. It has happened 3 times in the last 3 days. The first two times it happened was about 2 hours apart from each other. The second time the lights turned off on their own within 30 minutes. The third time I was at work and am not sure how long the lights were on but I walked out of work to them on.

My 2017 hyundai elantra se does not have a service light. Drove about 8k miles and no service light came on so I took it to the dealer to service and asked why the light did not come up? Upon completion they confirmed this car is basic and does not come with a service light. This is ridiculous. They give an msrp of over 21k and fail to put a very important feature. This is not acceptable
