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.
2017 Hyundai Elantra transmission complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 62 of 62, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
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.
The car cuts off while driving.it stalls n traffic like it won't go n I almost have been hit several times.there is no check engine light on.very dangerous n scares me when I drive cause u never know when it's going to cut off n traffic or while turning.
Vehicle is jerking, the car will accelerate fast enough, code p0190
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.
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.
2017 hyundai elantra. Car is shaking heavily at idle, no codes or check engine light. No one will diagnose, turned away by dealership. When turning car will stall middle of intersection, this has happened twice. This is unsafe and dealership will not help me and I am turned away. I'm starting to worry about the safety of my car. I maintain it up to manufacturer standards. Transmission is clunky and not working well. No check engine light, no codes. Dealership and other mechanics will not look into issues. Transmission is sealed system but is in need of fluid change. Fluid is dirty and filled with metal at 55,000 miles. Other people complain of same issue at 35000 miles. Dealerships say this is a lifetime system and does not need service. This car is starting to seem unsafe. The amount of complaints on hyundai forums to this nature should reflect some need to make the car not dangerous.

'takata recall' I have noticed that my transmission skips or jerks randomly. As I'm driving on the streets or on the highway... My RPM's will jump up to 3, 4, or sometimes 5 when I'm driving and holding steady at 2 RPM's. I always drive the speed limit and never floor my gas pedal. It also will feel like it's not catching the gears correctly and will jerk. This is something I have noticed over the years with my car but seems to be getting worse over time. I do also have trouble if I change my drive mode to 'sport'. The transmission doesn't seem to grip the gears when needed so I never really use the sport mode.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 hyundai elantra. While driving 35 MPH, the contact had to swerve to miss another vehicle; however, when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle would not move. As a result, the vehicle struck a curb, flipped over, and landed upside down. The contact stated that the vehicle exhibited the same symptoms as listed in the federal safety agency campaign number: 18v471000 (power train). Only the driver side air bag deployed. There were no injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the tow yard. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. It was unknown if the vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN and failure mileage were unknown.
The car was purchased as a new car with 3 miles on the odometer from an authorized hyundai dealership in june 2016. In august 2018, the car was driven for a little over 30,000 (highway)miles and was checked for the 30k-mile-service at the hyundai dealership. The day after, engine check line turned on and the vehicle began shaking heavily in both high and low speed. Although I knew that the issue was related to the engine misfire, and was able to provide a obdii scan results from autozone, but the hyundai dealership completely ignored all information I provided. In fact, they boasted about how well their "hyundai scanners" are the only scanners that can correctly scan the vehicle. Consequently, I had to make four visits to the dealership within five days in order for them to admit their mistake and fix the problem. However, now the engine is still throttling in an unusual manner at a very subtle level. I spoke to the hyundai's regional customer service manager about how this misfire could lead to dangerous situations on a highway where a driver's at a greater risk in higher speed traffic. But the response was simply advising me to continue visiting the dealership.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 hyundai elantra. While driving various speeds, the transmission slipped out of gear. Todd archer hyundai in bellevue, nebraska was made aware of the failure and stated that the transmission was performing as it should. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.
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.
This vehicle accelerates more than expected (lunges) when I put it in drive and release the brake without even having my foot on accelerator. On flat surface it begins to move ahead spontaneously without my foot on gas peddle. I brought to dealer and they said this is typical for elantra and not a know issue. It has been mentioned by other driver's on reddit. The only solution is to have one foot on the brake and the other on accelerator to protect from sudden acceleration. There must be a software/hardware solution. Creates risky situation because one could inadvertently hit pedestrian, car in front at stop, roll into traffic, etc. Worst case would be if someone unfamiliar with vehicle drives it, ie, rental car or friend. I put in the date I had it checked by hyundai service. They said it might need to "break in" and tighten up as parts wears" as hopeful comments for resolution.

Date: 14 jan 2017 odometer: 1214 miles problem: chemical smell in passenger compartment: -- not sure, but might be engine oil -- caused severe, long-lasting headache, nausea and dizziness. Problem: when engine is cold: -- continuous clicking sound coming from engine compartment. -- sound stops when clutch is depressed to shift gears, then starts again when gear is engaged. After engine warms up and am on the highway: -- sound seems to stop, but cannot be sure because of road noise problem: ice droplets discovered inside windshield. Bottom of windshield on the drivers side. See photographs.
When attempting to accelerate after turning corner, vehicle almost stops, then surges ahead. This occurs intermittently and also when pulling away from stop light.
When shifting from reverse to drive on an incline usually sends me heading back in reverse again until I apply the brake pedal hard for a few seconds. This happened to me a lot in my driveway and most recently on a steep mountain, which was really scary. The vehicle starts from stationary motion to reverse, then stop, shift into drive and it rolls back in reverse again. Almost like a manual transmission does. Please investigate.
