The door opening mechanism in both the drivers door and the right rear passenger door continually does not allow the door to open resulting in the driver and passenger becoming trapped in the vehicle, and often does not allow opening of the door to enter the vehicle. I and my passengers have been trapped within the vehicke several times where we unsuccessfully tried to use the cars unlock button, the key fob, the key, and even the manual lock levers in conjunction with either the inside or outside door levers. It is dangerous to be trapped inside a vehicle and so i believe this issue should be corrected by a manufacturers recall
Rear passenger door will not open inside or out. Driver door takes multiple times to open from the outside.very concerned that in an accident someone will not be able to exit.
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
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.

I got this used car from Hyundai Courtesy in late 2020. My issue with this used car is that there is no TPMS reset button to get the tires back to have the same tire pressure. Even with battery mode reset done, the tires are always out of sync after a few days or hours. I do go to the dealership to get the tpms fixed but after a few days, it is back to out of sync. I am writing to the safety board to inform them and hopefully, Hyundai corporate can look into this electrical issue.
Right out of warranty sudden engine heat fluctuations, hot air stopped blowing and cold air is inconsistent. I changed relays and fuses to be safe. Very unhappy about dangerous unreliable products the engine warranty should be extended to this vehicle I have a heart condition. It seems they are trying to avoid addressing major engine reliability issues
The white paint on my 2017 Hyundai Elantra is peeling in large chunks. This may not be a safety issue, but it is a legitimate concern because the Hyundai Corporation is selling vehicles with faulty paint jobs with no recourse to the consumer. The problem is seen on numerous Hyundais driving down the road. Consumers need some sort of intervention to recoup the loss that-??s incurred from rust, corrosion or thousands of dollars spent repainting a vehicle. As you can see in my photos, the paint first bubbles then it flakes off. It-??s just a matter of time before more paint flies off as I drive down the highway.
The back passenger door will not open from the outside when it's unlocked and sometimes it will randomly not open from the insides (both doors). It's like I have the child lock on the doors but it's not
My hyundai was stolen. After talking with the police and conducting research, Kia and Hyundai are extremely easy to steal. Not to mention the whole tiktok challenge which is going around teaching people how to steal these vehicles.
This is a very unsafe vehicle. There should be a recall!!!! This is a well known problem, yet Huyndai and NTHSA does nothing. How many people will be involved in an accident or killed before you do something" This vehicle has been having check engine light come on multiple times in past month. When it does the whole car shudders/shakes, and won't accelerate. There is also a knocking. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT wAITING TO HAPPEN! First time I took it in was to a Firestone shop as Huyndai had no opening for weeks. I drive 60 miles 1 way for my job, so couldn't wait for Huyndai. Firestone said it was misfiring, and that it was very low on oil. They couldn't get it to duplicate the incident, so couldn't figure out the problem. An oil change was done. Multiple times in next 2 weeks the light would come on, then sometimes go off with no other issues, but sometimes the same knocking sounds and shaking. I took it back to Firestone and they determined a coil needed to be replaced and a spark plug. And in that short of time the oil was seriously low again. These fixes were done. The next day after picking it up, same issues!!!! Firestone won't work on it now as they don't know what else to do. We have an appointment with Huyndai but not until Sept. 12th. What am I supposed to do???? Take a chance of dying every day to get to work? I can't afford a rental for the next few weeks until Huyndai can look at it. This is so unfair. Why haven't you made Huyndai recall and fix this very well known issue" Please help!
I bought my car in 2019 with about 18k miles. My paint started peeling off of my hood and my roof at the beginning of 2021 at 40k miles. Hyundai pretty much told me too bad so sad since I was over 36,000 miles. I have paid to have it fixed multiple times and the paint is still peeling off. I am unable to wash my car without my paint flaking off. I even vinyl wrapped my roof myself to keep the paint from peeling more and rusting. There is discoloration where the paint has peeled off. I read online that if the vehicle rust the Hyundai will fix it however they refused to return my numerous calls and emails and voicemails to the supervisor at Jim click Hyundai in Tucson.
My car was stolen because Hyundai manufacturers have made them easy to break into and start without a key (there is currently a lawsuit going on for Hyundais/Kias). My car was stolen during daylight hours even though it was locked with no valuables inside and parked in the open. I should feel safe parking my car, but even if I get it back, I don't know that I ever will again.
