2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

Since January 2024 I have had issues with my car starting due to low oil. I just had an oil change so I knew something was wrong. The repair shop stated there were no leaks and put more oil in and said that sometimes the car will not start if there is not enough oil. February 2024 and the car wont start again. Filled it with oil and took it to the shop again. They stated that the engine is eating the oil and to take it to the dealer for a test. Since then the car has turned off multiple time both while idling and while on the freeway. When you hit the gas it will not accelerate either. In the past I was able to turn the car off and back on again and it would work just fine but now it seems more frequent. Also, while driving when experiencing these issues I have had the stereo screen shut off and restarted by itself. At times the slippery when wet alert will also show on the dashboard which has been a sign for me that they car is going to act up so I turn it off right away and back on then it runs.

Loss of engine power, car shuts abruptly off while driving. increases the risk of a crash and death. Less than a year after I purchased my car from the dealer. My check engine light would turn on and off frequently. Secondary mechanics couldn’t diagnosis problem engine check would show unnecessary/ different codes. Car burns oil at a very fast rate. Shut of three times while driving yesterday on the LIE. I am scared for myself and my families safety. I can’t afford a new engine or car. Please help The 2017 Electra SE has many recalls for make and model. My vin isn’t under recall.

I bought my used Hyundai Elantra 20017 in July of 2022. It's at the shop again for the same thing. While driving, it will just shut off. In traffic. My son was with me a few times when this happened, almost causing accidents. It's in the shop, second time, for engine failure! This car is crap and needs a recall on the engine before someone/ people get hurt while they are driving it.

For a little over a year now, my back doors do not open on my Hyundai Elantra. The child lock is not on. Also in the past year, my passenger and driver door do not open. I have to go back and forth on the handle 20-30 times before my door opens. I have changed the battery in the key fob and I have tried unlocking my doors with the actual key with no success. Sometimes if they do not open I have to go through my sunroof. This is such a safety issue it’s insane. I’ve called Hyundai dealerships but they said they will need to keep it for 2 weeks. I do not have any other vehicle to just leave it there for that long. Please help.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact stated that while decelerating, the vehicle independently turned off. Additionally, the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact restarted the vehicle and drove to the destination. The contact stated that the vehicle then failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact was informed that an engine teardown needed to be completed before the cause of the failure could be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 117,000.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that upon attempting to enter the vehicle, the driver's side door failed to open, after which he became aware that the failure existed with all four doors. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed failures with the door actuator on all four doors. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000.

When I stop at stop signs or stop lights, the car will stall out. I have to turn off the car fully, turn it back on, and immediately step on the gas pedal in order to start the car up again. This was incredibly dangerous as the first few times this happened, the stoplights had turned green, but I could not move the car. I am also afraid that the car could potentially stall in the middle of driving. The engine light has turned on and the car was inspected by Hyundai and a third party auto shop. The third party auto shop informed me that they had seen multiple models of my car with the same issue. The car is available for inspection upon request.

Some bad guys tried to steal my 2017 Hyundai Elantra. They broke the ignition from the steering column to gain access and try to start the vehicle. This is the same issue that still happening after 3 years from the Kia/hyundai boys ticktock hack. The federal gov need to intervine. This a very concerning safety issue. The cars are getting to easy to steal. We as consumers can do as much we can, but has been very difficult. It’s not fare for all us to paid for cost related to this issue (cars without immobilizer) like Hyundai and Kia’s. This 2 company’s should paid and respond to the gov and the customers for their fatal flaw in designing this cars.

I had my steering wheel telescope out and tilted up when driving down highway I had to hit my brakes Because of the car in front of me hitting his as I did so my steering wheel collapsed inward And down We'll do an approximately 45 miles an hour on the freeway. This could have caused me to lose control of the vehicle. And cause major injuries to others and was locked in positiand should have not been able to push in without it being unlocked.
