2017 Hyundai Elantra suspension problems

Filed Feb 15, 2024 · Engine, Suspension · RI

Just to clarify, the vin number claims my vehicle is a 2017 Hyunda Elantra… but it is a 2017 Hyundai Elantra LIMITED, which there are differences in the design/model of the vehicles. The vehicle was not inspected at time of purchase like originally mentioned to me in our agreement. (They only transferred my registration to the new vehicle) I had done nothing out of the ordinary to the vehicle, after inspection the vehicle then displayed a check engine light and would not start after leaving work for the day. It then began to stall every time I applied pressure to the brake or slowed down. After inspecting the issue at Empire Hyundai they said the camshaft had been sheered by the cvvt pin and extensive repairs were needed. This happened in November 2023 and I have not been operating the vehicle since. I have gone through multiple sources to try to have this repaired by the dealership on their cost not mine due to me just purchasing the vehicle and this type of issue is a well known issue in Hyundais after they reach 100,000 miles- which I just surpassed.

I was driving and would hear a squeaking sound when turning right. Then I started to hear rattling I pulled in my driveway that has a curb and noticed an object sticking out that looks like it should have been screwed into something. It ended up being the front right passenger strutt it exploded through its casing. Not only damaging the casing but the hood of the car. If I would have continued to drive on it I could have loss control of the vehicle and put me and others in danger on the road. I was unaware this was a reoccurring issue with this model until I did some digging on the internet it sounds like a manufacturer defect. Now I was going to take it to hyundai dealership but they are stating they have to do a diagnostic for 170.00 which you can visibly see the strutt sticking out the hood. Everyone keeps saying the tire can come off this happened with no warning I am unsure of what to do.

Driver side strut popped through housing, and penetrated front hood. Confirmed by Hyundai dealer on 10 April 2023, and also confirmed by another mechanic - which will make the repair, on 10 April 2023. No warning lamps. Alerted by rattling/rubbing/popping noise that occurred soon after taking the car to a Hyundai dealer in Springfield, VA to resolve a safety recall anti-theft matter. Mileage is estimated between 60K and 66K (car is being fixed now). Not only will strut and related items require repair, but the front hood also now requires repair.

Right front suspension strut mount failed. This allowed the front strut to be come disconnected from the strut mount. The strut is free to to become disconneted from the cars frame. In my case the strut has traveled up through the strut mount and through the trim cover and impacting the inside of the cars engine compartment hood. Currently the strut is resting on the lower side of the strut mount. Only the weight of the car is keeping the strut inside the coil. This places the driver and occupants at risk of the strut over travaling . It also puts the mechanic at risk, because the coil spring is not being retained by the strut mount plate. The car can be inspected. I have not had the problem confirmed, The first indication of the problem was a audible rattle from the right front suspension

Both drivers and rear passenger door actuators have gone bad. I see online this is a very common issue and have been told by the dealership that it is as well. They will not cover the costs of repair. Rear shocks are also worn out and have been told by dealership that this is another common issue. Only 3 years old with 39k miles on the car.

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.

At speeds under 40-45mph, when turning only right, over bumpy and uneven roads (railroad tracks, manhole covers, humps in the road, seams in concrete), there is a clunking/clicking noise from the front of the car with an accompanying feeling in steering/pedals. Suspension during these situations feels very loose/unsteady. Feels like control could be lost if car is not handling properly.
