Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
My car has been stalling and shaking for months on acceleration. This has put me in unsafe situations where vehicles are going very fast on the highway and I am going 20 miles under the speed limit, or I am accelerating to merge and my car fails to accelerate, or I'm on the regular road and my car slows to a crawl while people are coming in fast behind me. The Error Code is: Cylinder 3 misfire. Took it to the dealer, they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it because the light was not on, they updated the software, as soon as I drove home the problem came back. They still charged me $200 for service, even thought the vehicle is under powertrain warranty which covers the cylinder block head and all internal parts. Online research shows this is a common problem in 2017 Hyundai Elantras. Many tried replacing coils and spark plugs only for the problem to return again a few months later. One successful fix found the computer needed to be replaced with a new one.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
November 1st, 2024 My husband and I were northbound on I71/75 at mile marker 160 while traveling in the high speed lane, doing 65 mph, when the car suddenly lost power, the check engine light immediately came on (NO prior) warnings. The car would not respond, had to coast to the side of road while traffic is whizzing past us at 65+ mph. The car at that point was DOA, lights would come on but motor would not respond . After many discussions with Hyundai corporate and sending them proof of eligibility for remaining factory warranty (window sticker information) that I was told in detail by the dealership representative. I was told emphatically that with it being a lease turn in that I was still eligible for all remaining warranties. Hyundai corporate says that even though I only have 88,000 ( odometer reading at purchase was 24,147) of a 10year/100,000 warranty on the engine. Hyundai corporate says that because I wasn't the original purchased that the warranty is null and void. I feel like there is something very wrong here when these warranties can be voided at the whim of the manufacturer. I have since had to purchase another vehicle in order to make it to the VA medical center for my husband and make it to the hospital for my cancer treatments.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The vehicle has been randomly shaking at idle since around 100,000 miles. There have now been a few instances where the engine will shake when decelerating. There are no warning lights, codes, or diagnostic readings that have given a solution for this. Around 145,000 miles the engine began to shake aggressively while driving, as I stopped and put the car in park the engine light, oil light, and battery light came on and then the entire system failed and the car shut off and could not be turned back on. This happened on a “highway” CA-108. I was stranded in the middle of the road, during school traffic hours. I towed the car to the dealership where they said they couldn’t replicate the concern but replaced the oil control valve. It has been 2 months since the repair, the vehicle is again starting to shake when decelerating. I now pull over when this happens though it typically stops within 45 seconds. I have seen the other Elantra engine recalls and feel as though mine fits the description.

The rear door no longer open and the front doors need to be tugged several times before opening. This is a huge safety problem and I’ve seen many others with my type of vehicle and year with the same problem. The actual door problem is unknown. I just know they will not open and it all happened at once. I haven’t gotten into an accident or no force to prevent the door from opening has not happened. So I’m not sure of the actual problem.

Issue with engine burning oil after I passed 104000 miles. I had my oil changed just after 100000 with no issues and just before the 104000 mile mark my Elantra began to make a clicking noise and my oil light came on. I took it to get the oil changed and I was told I was completely out of oil. I began monitoring the issue every few days and after traveling about 300 miles in a day I rechecked the oil level and noticed a definite drop in level. I contacted the dealer and was told nothing could be done due to the fact it was over 60000 miles and there were no active recalls. There is an TSB posted for the issue already. As well as there are recalls for the 2014-2016 hyandai Elantras burning oil after 100000 miles.

AIR BAGS
Potential Consequences:
Air bag light will not turn off so I’m not sure if the air bags work. Oil is going missing from the car causing it to suddenly shut down. It also makes the rpm’s go really high (close to 5,000) when trying to go up hills or accelerate. I don’t see a leak, or puddles under the car, nor black smoke.
