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.
Have had this problem on and off for a solid year, at one point I found the recall referenced in the other complaints stating my car was affected however when I search now it says -??no unrepaired recalls-?? for reference, I-??ve made 3 calls regarding this scary issue and have been told the same dealership doesn-??t do loaners and on another day doesn-??t have loaners & have also been given a 6 week wait period to see if they can get around to it. it doesn-??t matter if I-??m on the highway or at a stop sign the car will just out of no where shut off. This has caused an accident between myself and the guard rail on the highway a few months back. All the lights will come on and the car will just stop. This is usually paired with a rattling noise as well. It happens multiple times a day or week sometimes it will happen 4 times in a 10 minute drive. It is so scary & Hyundai hasn-??t seemed to care. Sometimes it will go on for weeks and then have a few weeks where it stops. I also feel like I oil changes an abnormal amount, it-??s like everytime I go they tell me I-??m way over due yet the mileage doesn-??t add up. Worst car I-??ve ever owned.
The manufacture looked at the vehicle and stated the car engine has siezed. Safety was put at risk because i was driving down my street home when the engine made a noise and it stopped all together. I was going about 10 miles per hour, so no actual injuries. The issue has been confirmed by the Hyundai Dealership. There were no warning lights or anything prior to the engine being siezed. The vehicle has been serviced regularly.
My son and I were driving home in the dark yesterday. Then engine failed. It was driving then slowly powered down. The check engine light, the oil light, and battery light came on all at once. Needed a tow. It was the scariest thing in the world to be stranded in a disabled vehicle on the side of the road. It breaks my heart hearing my son from the back seat say something is wrong mommy, its not working. The dealership is crap. Stating that it's over some made up one year warranty, yes I've only had the car less than a year. They also won't look at my car for 3-4 days because of the holiday. Thank God my son and I have family and friends to save us. I am completed disgusted and feel for everyone in this situation.
The engine on my 2019 Hyundai Elantra failed during high speed interstate travel. After being on the highway for several hours traveling at approximately 75 mph I heard an odd "pop" which sounded like a rock flying up into the undercarriage on I-40 near Morrilton, AR. About 10 minutes after this sound occurred, my vehicle started to smoke from under the hood and then emit a rattling sound. As I pulled the vehicle to the shoulder of the road it began to flash multiple warning lights across the dashboard and became very difficult to steer. I stopped the car, turned off the ignition, and popped the hood to inspect the smoke. When I attempted to restart the car, it indicated system failure and would not restart. The car was towed to Crain Hyundai in Conway, AR for repair however they have refused to honor the warranty stating that the vehicle was vandalized by someone removing the oil plug. My insurance company investigated this allegation and found that the failure was mechanical in nature and not the result of vandalism. Further, the dealership indicated in the insurance investigation that they have never even run diagnostics on the vehicle. They simply refused the warranty when they noticed the oil plug was missing. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. When my engine blew out at a high speed on interstate traffic, my safety and the safety of others was at risk because my vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly slowed down and then stopped on the roadside. The location where I pulled over was at the top of a blind hill and oncoming traffic could not see my vehicle as they approached it. As we sat on the roadside waiting for a tow we were nearly hit 4x, including once where the vehicle lost control and spun from the right lane, across the left lane and into the median before righting itself. There were NO warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. My vehicle had been parked on a concrete drive and no leaks were seen.
My Hyndai Elantra car has been in the shop for 1 month already and they told me that the engine has a hole in the block. My car stopped working while driving with my 3 year old in a highway as i was exiting a ramp. I was so scared because I wasn't able to move all the way to the side and cars were going 70-75 mph. I just felt how the car moved with every car that passed by. I just saw through the mirror that 4 cars were about to hit me from behind. I did call police, waited 1 hour but they never arrived. My husband had to push the car with his car to move us to safety. In Addition, there was a Hyndai Elantra recall for engines but I believe my car is not included and I think my car has a 2L Engine. I found the information below from a search engine. "Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling 158,493 2019-2021 Elantra cars, equipped with the 2.0L Nu MPI engine"
My car has a problem with the Pistons and the Rod Bearings.. I literally have 80K miles on the dash It was a Recalled called on Some 2019-2020 Hyundai Elantra with 2.0l motors MINES IS EXACTLY THE MODEL AND MOTOR SIZE.. Nap- Hyundai is No HELP AT ALL My car is literally experiencing engine failure due to PISTON OIL RINGS and all because it doesn-??t pop up with my VIN there is nothing they can do.. I really believe my car has a recall
my 17 year old son was driving the car to practice. It began to KNOCK and SMOKE. It STALLED in the middle of the road. We had the car towed home. a mechanic looked at it the next day and said that the engine was Dead. A rod was thrown. The oil drum had other things leaked into it like antifreeze. i called hyundai, because it is under warranty. (only 34,000 miles on it). AT that time they informed me of the RECALL. it is an engine recall where the EXACT thing happens. It sat at the dealership for a week and a half before they even would look at it. THEN they refuse to fix the recall. they submitted a "prior auth" for warranty repair. We had to submit oil change info (which we did). AFTER 5 WEEKS they told us VIA TEXT MESSAGE that hyundai denied to cover warranty due to neglect. THEY ARE BLAMING US WHEN THERE IS AN ENGINE RECALL ON THIS CAR!"!"! They won't even SPEAK about the recall, they are rude and told us to go to the BBB and get an attorney. I have attached our oil change receipts that we sent them.PLEASE HELP!
There is a knocking noise in my engine. The car stalls in the middle of driving with NO warning. The car just dies. It is also using a lot of oil. I keep the oil changed and I check it often. The first two times I had it checked bc I heard a knocking noise, they said it-??s low and then 2 weeks later it was already super low again!!!! Driving in town a few miles a day is no reason for oil to be gone. There is no oil in my driveway under the car or where I park it at work. I only drive 5 miles a day to and from work and running errands on the weekends. When the car just stopped in the middle of the road, 3 times, on my 5 mile drive to work, I almost got rear ended and almost hit the car in front of me. I know there is a recall on 2019 Hyundai-??s but the Hyundai store in Norman said my VIN says my car should be fine. The problem is- the car is doing EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL says will happen. I need someone from Hyundai to help before someone gets really hurt from this car. I am in the car business and so is my family. However we aren-??t in contact with Hyundai business and that sucks because maybe I could get someone to actually help with this instead of being treated horribly by all the people I-??ve dealt with this week at Hyundai dealerships. This car is dangerous and I will be getting rid of it and buying any car that-??s not a Hyundai if I can-??t get this one fixed with the recalled parts.

The system that was affected was the engine, and inspection is available. We were all in seatbelts at the time of the incident. PepBoys has confirmed it is an electrical issue and they can't repair it and must be done by the original manufacturer. The warning lamps that appeared were the battery, oil, and the engine lamp. And still stops and appear everyday.
