This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The engine is making weird noises and the vehicle is stalling and is not accelerating. If am trying to accelerate the crank shaft noise is coming from the engine. Koi
When slowing down to turn or stop the vehicle would stutter and stall. It would not give an active code when checked, only historical for cam position sensor error. Found that it was low on oil but no signs of a leak. After an oil change and replacing the sensor the stalling seemed to improve, but it is still losing oil quickly. Purchased the car a few months ago with about 70k miles on it. After reviewing the car it seems to be a common problem, and nothing is being done to address it. Hyundai will not warranty the car since we are not the original owners, despite being within their warranty period.
Vehicles with the same year and model have been recalled due to thermostats issue. I am experiencing an issue exactly like other that have had recall have experienced. My engine overheated causing my vehicle to shut down. Smoke was coming from engine oil tank. I called Hyundai and they are advising me that my particular model has not been recalled although I'm experiencing the exact issue of what was recalled for other vehicles with the same year and model.
Vehicle is not accelerating, have to push the pedal hard and while doing it the engine started making sounds and the vehicle stopped. There are weird sounds coming from the engine that-??s making the vehicle to not turn on.
The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled in the middle of the road. The contact stated that the instrument panel went black, and the power steering and power brakes became inoperable. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred following the engine replacement and the failure had become a recurring failure. The contact took the vehicle back to the same dealer who could not determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000.
Car would just stall out while driving! Would have to put car in park and then try to turn back on. Also burning through oil very fast. Had to replace the timing belt just for 20K miles later having the same issue!
Vehicle would do a complete stop without warning while driving. No, engine light isn-??t reflected on dashboard of 2017 Hyundai Elantra, went into a complete stop on hwy. Had vehicle checked everything looked good, Hidden problems couldn-??t be resolved dealing with matter that could have been deadly if traffic were to occur.
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.
The vehicle's engine light has been coming on for the past 3 years(2020-2023). I had multiple engine servicing checks done at the Hyundai dealership, but the dealership continued to say that there was nothing wrong with the car until this year 2023. Starting 2023 when I would drive, the engine oil light started flashing on and off and the car kept cutting off at stops AND while driving, which can cause accidents leading to death. In 2023 I started noticing that the oil kept being low, but it did not have an oil leak, it was like the oil was vanishing. Now the same Hyundia dealership claims that reason the oil light flashes on is because engine oil is going into the engine which can cause a fire to the car resulting in death. There are also a multiple lawsuits about Hyundai engines catching on fire and oil going into the engine but the dealership is claiming that it's not my particular model which I do not believe! At this point I am fearful to drive the car because it will definitely stop while in drive and stop in traffic and I'm afraid of having an accident and someone dying in the car or the car Catching Fire in my driveway or garage. PLEASE HELP these companies should not get away with this knowing MANY of there models have oil/Engine issues!!
Car shaking when accelerating. Check engine light. Misfire code. Earliest appointment with dealership is Thursday June 1st. At 2 pm on Saturday May 27th check engine light went off.
My car is rapidly losing oil at an alarming rate and I believe the 2017 Elantras should be a part of the Oil consumption recall. For at least over the past year at 111,094 miles, my car needs to have the oil refilled at every 3 week period averaging only 1,000 miles. NO CHECK OIL LIGHT ever comes on, and I am only aware of the fact due to diligently checking my car's oil. Countless mechanics have told me of this issue, that it's not normal to consume this much oil. On other forums hundreds of Hyundai users have stepped forward that they are having the same problem. It was cost me countless repairs and when I did go to Hyundai for arguably the same problem (low oil) under warranty, I was never given a new well functioning engine. I also have reason to believe that Hyundai is WELL AWARE of this issue as the 2017 manual states that owners are expected to check oil every 350 miles which is excessive. There needs to be consequences for this indecent operation of business and these customers need to be compensated.
Have had the vehicle throw a code for a misfire 4 times in the 30,000 miles I have driven it. The times I have taken it to Hyundai dealerships in Northglenn and Boulder, Colorado they tried an update and just swap ignition coils to different cylinders. Example misfire is cylinder 3. They swap number 3 and 4 ignition coils to see if they can recreate the problem I the new cylinder. There is already a TCS 20-FL-001h. I recommend a full recall of these defective ignition coils be put out as the problems are still occurring. The problem is reoccurring and the time it takes to get into the shop is 3 weeks out at this time. By the time I get it in the code usually resolves and I have to wait until I get violent shakes and poor acceleration to indicate it is back. Had an accident in January if 2023 and it seemed the brakes were t working as they should. Twice after that the brakes felt as if they weren-??t stopping as well as they should. I took the vehicle in and had the rear drum brakes adjusted and that seemed to fix the problem.
Ignition Coil Failure on 2017 Hyundai Elantra with just over 29,000 miles. Engine misfiring, jerking, idling roughly, and hesitating while accelerating, along with the Check Engine Light turning on. On-board diagnostic tool generated a P0-301 Diagnostic Trouble Code - indicating that cylinder number 1 experiencing misfires. Took my car to dealer for repair. Ignition coil and software updated pursuant to Hyundai TSB # 20-FL-001H. Cost $321.46. Hyundai would not pay for all/part of the repair because car is beyond the 5 year/60,000 mile warranty, despite this being a safety issue they acknowledged by issuing the TSB to address the replacement of the defective ignition coils. Hyundai previously issued safety recall on 2106 Sonata models related to a similar defective ignition coil issue. See Hyundai TSB # 16-01-003-1. Ignition coils are expected to last at least 100,000 miles. The premature failure of this part, as evidenced by the 2016 recall, and the 2020 TSB, poses an unreasonable safety risk to the public. Imagine the safety issues while traveling on a roadway with your car misfiring, jerking, or lacking power when accelerating, or stalling.
I can-??t pinpoint the issue as it cannot be checked due to check engine light not staying on. I have narrowed it mostly down to being the Ingnition coil packs as I have a cylinder 3 misfire listed. My car started having this issue in 2021. I would eat my lunch in my car and noticed a drop in rpm-??s while idle along with vibration of the vehicle. It has progressed to vibrating while driving on the road and not being able to accelerate in a timely manner. I know 2 other people that have the same year of car and they are experiencing these same issues. You can find, on the internet, countless complaints related to the ignition coils failing in these vehicles. A recall needs to be created for the safety of the drivers and passengers in these vehicles. It is irresponsible for a company to use faulty components and proves that the safety of their consumers is not in their best interest. I will continue to report the issue until something is done about it.
I bought my 17 Hyundai Elantra back in august 22 and noticed sometime after buying it that it smelled like coolant burning when it ran. So I kept my eye out to see if there where any leaks no leaks. Sometime this year I took the car to central Hyundai to get it looked at cause of the burning coolant smell and because after it had been running if I opened the engine oil area on the top of the engine smoke would come out and the oil was pitch black no coolant was mixing with the oil though. The service area there told me that the car was fine and that it was just burning oil because it was an old car. I went out of state for a few days after that so I got a rental instead of taking my car thankfully cause I drove the car for 2 days when I got back and the engine went completely. I was driving down the road and I spun a bearing then blew a piston through the engine block oil leaked all under the car. I called the dealership that looked at it to complain and they completely switched up what happened the day I got my car looked at and said that hd told me it would be best for him to keep the car to look at longer which is not true. I called Hyundai manufacture customer support and they didn-??t care because of the mileage I have 116000 about and bought the car with about 98000
Was driving one night and out of nowhere the car started to change gears hard no warning lights came on then the car just cut off so started it back it cut off and I started it back again drove home fine next time I went to get in it the check engine light came on now the car won't even start and I have taken it to 2 shops and they said that they are having a hard time pin pointing what it could be but told me it sounded like the engine recall
Originally I had gottem my oil changed at the Hyundai dealership 2 months before. The car was turning off on me while driving making slow turns or slowing down to 5mph or less. Then my car broke down on me and wouldnt turn on. Mechanic was saying there was no oil in and it created a sludge in the engine basically ruining the car. My check oil light never came on, and the oil was just recently changed so this shouldve been apart of the recall where similar issues happened.
The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while driving 15 MPH and making a left turn, the vehicle failed to accelerate when depressing the accelerator pedal and began to roll backward. The low oil pressure warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the engine oil was replaced. The independent mechanic diagnosed that an unknown valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 83,600.
-??In early October 2022 when the car owner purchased the Hyundai 2017 Elantra it had 77,717 miles on it. The inspection of the car by the dealership-??s service department prior to purchase did not indicate any concerns with the engine. No mention was made of the need for an extended warranty. -??In February 2023, four months after purchase, the car was taken to a Hyundai Service Department of the same company for an 85,000-mile servicing at 84,107. Again, no concerns with the engine of the car were noted. -??Fifteen days later the car-??s engine died. The same Hyundai Service Department indicated that there was so much carbon buildup that the intake valves and pistons in cylinder 3 came into contact causing metal shavings to blow the engine. They said they had filed a PA with Hyundai Customer Service USA and had been told because the owner is a second owner Hyundai would not pay for the replacement of the engine under the 100,000 K warranty. A new engine had to be installed at the estimated cost of $6790. The Hyundai Service Department indicated this was a reduction in the cost of both the new engine and labor.
