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.
I was driving on the freeway & the engine just cut off. I lost complete power but luckily, I was able to get to the side of the road without any incident. About a month ago, the same thing happened but I was down the street from my house so it wasn't a big deal. The day after, the front collision light went off twice while I was driving. My particular car VIN number is not on the recall list.
The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the vehicle stalled inadvertently. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was unable to veer to the side of the road. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and continued driving. The contact stated that the failure recurred several times while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the rod bearing had failed, and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V301000 (Engine) as the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 73,000.
Car stalls constantly with out warning. Sometimes will start up again and sometimes it wont. Completely stuck where its at right now and i was not notified of the recall for my 2019 hyandai elantra. Bought it from dealer that used it as a rental. I am the first owner.
My 2019 Elantra has stalled while in motion 5 separate times since 15 November 2022. My warranty claims are based on a defect in the vehicle-??s material or workmanship that is covered by the Hyundai New Vehicle Limited Warranty period of 5 years from date of original retail delivery and 60,000 miles. Why I believe the problems are the responsibility of the manufacturer: This began 15 November 2022 when the Malfunction Indicator Lamp came on; I brought the car immediately to Bay Hyundai. They replaced the camshaft assembly. Since then, the engine has stalled while in motion 5 separate times. Why I believe I have not contributed to the cause of the problems: I have properly maintained the vehicle as proven by all of the service receipts from Allen Turner Hyundai, Bay Hyundai, Pep Boys, Tuffy, AutoZone and CARFAX. My 2019 Elantra has low mileage: 45,000 miles over 4 years. The motor vehicle defect is not a result from an accident, abuse, neglect, modification or alteration by me. Why the problems represent a substantial impairment to the use, value, or safety of my vehicle: I can-??t even drive it 1 day without the engine stalling without warning while in motion! This jeopardizes my safety and has caused severe anxiety from breaking down in traffic multiple times.
I was driving home from work at night when my 2019 Hyundai Elantra Sport (just found out has the wrong VIN) lost all power and felt like it wasn-??t running on all cylinders. I switched it to sport mode had a little more power for about 2 mins then my car died completely. I had to pull over thankfully I made it to the bottom of the pass and coasted into a gas station while I waited for a tow truck to have it towed to the dealership. The dealership had my car for almost a week. They ran all kinds of diagnostic testing, one of which came back showing my engine lost almost all compression. Secondly they ran more tests and more tests and just to tell me it was a bad battery. The battery has been replaced. My car is still having idling issues, it-??s shifting hard and the lane Assist which I kept on just the warning turns itself on randomly, same with the front assist. This vehicle has 37,000 miles on it. Maintenance has been done regularly along with the highest quality oil changes, premium gas and air filters. I AM PISSED THAT I AM PAYING SO MUCH MONEY A MONTH AND AM HAVING NOTHING BUT ISSUES.
The vehicle has experienced multiple hard and delayed transmission changes. Both up and downshift will jerk and had hard gear changes. Cold or warmed up the transmission will exhibit this issue. In regular or sport mode the issue is present.
Vehicle has rough idle on start up that will vibrate and shake the car. It could be felt in the driver seat. RPMs range 2000-1000 when the rough idle is present. It has been taken to dealership and as expected they claim they cannot reproduce issues. Car has. 55,000 miles.

My engine started making a knocking sound and stopped on me while driving it. Hyundai has determined the problem is a piston failure in the engine which is scratching the engine rendering my vehicle inoperable. First date this was noticed was on the morning of 01/04/2023 the car then broke down while driving at about 5:30 pm central time same day. Hyundai is saying they aren-??t responsible for the damage however there is a recall currently that is for the same thing but they won-??t repair it for free because my vin number wasn-??t affect but it is going through the same issues as described in the recall notice.

My hyundai elantra 2019 has developed a Piston Slap issue. Although the elantra has regular oil change everytime the warning system notifies me not sure to why it would be a defected part like a Piston Slap in a 2019 elantra. Help with the situation...

Drove my car 12 miles from work to father-??s house no issues. Started car back up and engine light came on. Called my boyfriend and said light came on and now car isn-??t staying on. Tried to drive 4 miles home and every time I stopped at stop sign or light the car died. One time it died as I was going 35 mph. I pulled up to busy intersection and the car died and I could not get it to start. A guy was stuck behind me got out of truck and pushed me through the intersection and off to the side of the road. My boyfriend got there got it started and drove the remaining 2 miles home. He changed the oil which was low and had just been changed 2 months ago. The car still repeated the same behavior. My VIN is not included in the engine recall.
The check engine light went on in my Elantra a couple of weeks ago. I immediately take it to my local Jiffy Lube and they tell me it-??s a camshaft protector sensor and that I need to take it to the dealership. After multiple failed attempts at contacting the dealership, I-??m finally able to make an appointment to drop it off a few days later. However, my car doesn-??t make it that far. Within those 3 days, the car breaks down on me three times. It happens when I am either at a red light at a complete stop, or as I am slowing down, waiting to make a turn. The engine shutting down put me at extreme risk as I was driving in a busy area. Luckily, I was able to change my appointment to that very day (November 16th) and I make it to the dealership for drop off. They take one week to get back to me and tell me that there is oil sludge causing the engine to fail, and they want me to pay for the engine replacement because it is due to lack of maintenance. I find this hard to believe because I just had my oil changed and my engine checked due to an open recall in July of this year. It has been 4 months (and I don-??t drive that far on a daily basis) since my car was serviced and Hyundai is trying to place the blame on me for their faulty engine. The attached photo is the maintenance that I received in July.
I was driving down a main highway, approaching a busy intersection preparing to turn left... I had a green light without a green arrow and had quite a bit of distance/time between myself and any approaching vehicle so I went ahead and proceeded. Just as I entered the intersection, all of the sudden my car stopped responding to my pressing on the gas pedal. The motor was very loud and dry sounding, and the RPM gauge was running abnormally high but the car itself, was barely moving. I continued trying to give it gas, even checked to see if something had knocked it out of gear (that was NOT the case)! Cross-traffic began to approach the intersection so I really started to work on the gas pedal, pumping it and when that failed, I mashed the gas all the way to the floor and finally just before I was about to be hit the car down the pedal and finally the car began to move!! It has been doing some hesitating for a while now but it barely made it out of the intersection this time and that was terrifying!! I have it in the shop now waiting to see what the problem is but this needs reporting. I do everything I'm supposed to with maintaining my car... oil changes, spark plugs, fluid checks and it has less than 50,000 miles so that shouldn't have happened!
