2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

When stopping at a light or parking lot, the car seems to struggle and shuts off. When I turn the engine on, the car struggles to start up and all of the car dash board lights tend to cut off with no warning sounds. I Installed new battery, changed the oil and had a repair shop look over the car and was told nothing was found.

2014 Hyundai Elantra SE 1.8 routinely maintained and serviced as recommended by service manual. Vehicle was on city streets when it suddenly stalled with no warning lights or indication. Event was accompanied by a knocking sound from the engine area. Ignition cycle makes the condition go away temporarily. Initially this was a rare occurrence. But within weeks the frequency of this engine shutdown at medium, slow, fast speeds increased greatly. Now the vehicle does not operational with less than 100,000 miles. Considering that there are so many complaints about this same problem, this needs to be a recall and Hyundai needs to take responsibility for this problem.

My car started ticking and making loud noise. The next day took to the dealer to have it looked it. I stopped at a light and the car stopped any wouldn’t go . It was running but no power, the said was the engine . It’s been at the dealer since beginning July 2022 and they are saying could be October or November before they can work on it . The car only had 50k miles on it and I only purchased it 6 months ago .

The car is stalling with no warning lights. The engine would quit running and I would have coat it into a safe spot, this happened while I was crossing an intersection and driving down the road at 35 MPH or less. I would have to turn the key off and then turn it to start and it would suddenly restart only to stall again. It is not the battery at all. My dad is a mechanic himself and pinpointed the issue to the engine and he said he has never seen an engine quit and restart like this without warning from the check engine light. He believes that it did not fail because of wear and tear but rather from a defect in the engine. He further expanded that the defect can also be connected to a faulty computer system not being able to recognize the engine failure. He feel Hyundai needs to recognize these complaints and take them seriously. Hyundai needs to recall these cars and fix the problem.

Engine has failed at 67,000 and resembles the 2018 class action lawsuit. Dealership/Hyundai Motor will not fix it because vehicle is not in a "cold weather state" even though it is a known issue in the car. I have had the vehicle for not even four years, the vehicle came from a cold weather state where it spent over half the vehicle life and 1/3 of its miles.

Engine was experiencing ticking/knocking. Car stalled on freeway, and now the Engine must be replaced. Identical problem as seen in the 2018 class action lawsuit. Car experiencing same symptoms and confirmed by mechanic, despite not being in a cold-weather state.
