2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

The car doors on my Hyundai Elantra often have jammed frequently jammed the front door was repaired when A few weeks later the back driver side door also jammed and could not be opened from the outside Unless you pushed in and pulled out. Then it finally jammed altogether and would not open . If there were an incident and someone needed to get into the car to get my child out they would be unable to.

While driving on three occasions I was driving and my car completely shut off where I had to pull over once to restart the car. The other two times I was on the freeway and had to put the car in neutral and restart the car. I almost got hit both times on the freeway when this happened.

The rear passenger door will NOT open from inside or outside. The front passenger door will ONLY open from the inside. This is a safety concern with young children in car seats in the back or for general emergencies. F on my research this is a common Hyundai issue.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed and stalled. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic, however; the contact was unaware of the diagnostic result. The contact stated that the independent mechanic stated that the vehicle was a total loss because and would cost more to fix than the vehicle was worth. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V213000 (Steering). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the vehicle was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 96,000.

I'm having issues with my car and I don't feel safe riding in it. While driving it start to coast. If I make a turn it shuts down. I am having some of the same issues some elantra having but because the VIN# doesn't show a recall I'm penalize for having this car.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while coming to a stop sign, there was a failure with the brake pedal. The contact was unable to depress the brake and instead engaged the parking brake to stop the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer stated that after the vehicle was inspected, there were no failures found with the braking system. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 52,900.

When reversing and turning my wheels either right or left would hear a clunking sound. When putting my car in drive and straighten wheels, I would hear and feel something slip. While driving and making a right or left turn, on several occasions I have had to literally jerk the steering wheel to straighten vehicle wheels back straight to prevent from keep turning. Dealing with this issue and several trips to a dealership and the issue unresolved I went elsewhere. The automotive repair shop immediately shared with me the issue was related to the "steering coupler"! To date I am very concerned about the safety of driving my vehicle as to not knowing when or if it will completely fail while driving? Safety issue!

My 2017 Hyundai Elentra Sport engine failed with 127,000 miles on it. Hyundai had a class action lawsuit for many models that guaranteed engine replacement and extended the life of the warranty to 15 years/150,000 miles. Unfortunately, it is the same issue with my model. Oil consumption issues resulting in a Blown piston. Oil was changed a week prior. Preston Hyundai confirmed that it was a Rod failure in the second piston. Paid the diagnostic fee and they put in a “Good Will claim and it was denied within 30 minutes. Preston Hyundai still has not sent me a receipt detailing their diagnostic or a copy of the goodwill claim after multiple requests. I want the record of this because the class action lawsuit that ended up protecting owners many years later

Without any warning lamps coming on, the vehicle car stalled while driving on the highway. It randomly stalls constantly when turning corners, especially on left turns (odd?). The scariest thing that happened was it got stuck on the speed limit of 55-60 miles per hour and I couldn't brake or accelerate. This put my kids, other drivers, and my life at risk. On Father’s Day, while my husband was out with the kids the vehicle tried to accelerate on its own when he was at a stop. It happened multiple times as he tried to make it home. Then when he was in stop and go traffic, it got difficult for him to brake. The brakes started failing. What more can I say?

Safety concern is that the car lost power without warning while driving on 4 lane highway. My son was attempting to pass another vehicle and he noticed the hyundai was not accelerating with his foot on gas pedal. he had to coast back across the lanes of traffic to avoid being hit. Confirmed issue:The car had to be towed and Hyundai dealer states the vehicle needs a new engine. Vehicle has been inspected by Hyundai dealer no warning signs at all
