    Ignition coil failure. Causing misfires and rough idle. Misfire initially found in cylinder 2 when check engine light illuminated and check with an OBD II reader. Swapped the cylinder 1 ignition coil with cylinder 2. Check engine light returned the next day with the same signs. Check engine light and rough idle. OND II code scanner now says misfire in cylinder 1. The rough idle makes for slow acceleration until above 20mph.

    The oil level burns down to next to nothing approximately every 2 months, with no oil light warning or engine light. However, the engine light does periodically come on but shuts down itself before able to get it checked. The same issues occured with my son's 2017 hyundai which caused the engine to blow and catch fire. His was recalled and repaired. His was a different model. The oil burn on my car has occurred at least 3 times. The steering feels as though it is grinding at lower speeds an makes parking difficult as well. Both of these issues are most concerning.

    The cars just stops running as you are driving. It's happened multiple times. We've changed the crankshaft sensor & cleaned the fuel system. We saw these remedies online as multiple people are having this same problem with their Hyundai.

    Was driving my car noticed that it was running a little rough and took it in for an oil change thinking maybe it was being a little weird because of that. I religious have my oil changed routinely. The gentleman changing my oil told me there was oil in the engine. Went to Hyundai and they did a diagnostics and told me that something had come off in the engine and clocked the oil gallery not allowing oil to flow through engine and power train. Was told it would be a $9000 engine replacement. I only have 93000 thousand miles on it still owe 3000 on it. Hyundai knows that their engines have been having issues. Salesman at Hyundai was trying to force me to buy a new car because of this issue. he was only going to give me 2500 on my car but told me if it had been in perfect condition then he would've 6000. This is not something I did to my engine it was something that came off in the engine and blocked the flow of oil

    Hyundai claims its engines have a 100,000-mile warranty, but my Elantra 2017 engine blew up/ broke down just after 890200. Therefore, I called the Hyundai corporate office to fix my car. I also approached local Hyundai dealers at Jaining Road Hartford, Connecticut, but they refused to resolve my problem and denied replacing my car engine. I have no choice but to fix my car. I filed my complaint to Hyundai case no. [XXX], but Hyundai is not ready to resolve this issue. I have spent $4000.00 from my pocket to put my car on the road. I am requesting for the reimbursement. I have all the repaired bills and invoices. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

    The child lock is on the back left door and I can't get the door open from the inside or from the outside of my car it's been this way for two years first the dealer said they would fix it for free because it was a recall on it but they had to order the part then he never called back then a year later they said the part came in but they wanted to charge me alot of money to get my door with the child lock on it fixed. I told them last time they said it would be free of charge, then that's when they changed it and said it was no recall on the door so I'm still stuck years later without my kids and I being able to use the left back door on my car

    Loss of power steering assist that occurs at lower speeds that would require higher steering effort and which may increase the risk of a fatal/deadly crash.

    The vehicle has about 136,000 miles and was driving when the engine just started knocking. There were no engine warning lights or any other indications there might be an issue. We Towed the vehicle to the dealer, and they advised that it needs a new engine. We are the original owners and maintained the vehicle with regular service and oil changes.
