2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

Rear passenger door will not open inside or out. Driver door takes multiple times to open from the outside.very concerned that in an accident someone will not be able to exit.

Rear passenger doors will not open from inside or outside. Only will open occasionally after repeatedly pulling aggressively. Or getting into back seat to push on the cable within door handle. It is a safety hazard to get my kids out of the back seat.

When slowing down to turn or stop the vehicle would stutter and stall. It would not give an active code when checked, only historical for cam position sensor error. Found that it was low on oil but no signs of a leak. After an oil change and replacing the sensor the stalling seemed to improve, but it is still losing oil quickly. Purchased the car a few months ago with about 70k miles on it. After reviewing the car it seems to be a common problem, and nothing is being done to address it. Hyundai will not warranty the car since we are not the original owners, despite being within their warranty period.

Vehicles with the same year and model have been recalled due to thermostats issue. I am experiencing an issue exactly like other that have had recall have experienced. My engine overheated causing my vehicle to shut down. Smoke was coming from engine oil tank. I called Hyundai and they are advising me that my particular model has not been recalled although I'm experiencing the exact issue of what was recalled for other vehicles with the same year and model.

Vehicle is not accelerating, have to push the pedal hard and while doing it the engine started making sounds and the vehicle stopped. There are weird sounds coming from the engine that’s making the vehicle to not turn on.

While driving the vehicle when making left hand turns vehicle occasionally shuts off with no warning.

Exterior and interior door handles failed to open vehicle door. Handle may work upon repeated engagement, but this does not always work. This is happening on both rear and front doors, both driver and passenger side. This endangers people's safety both inside and out. Should a person need to quickly exit a scenario (a woman being chased or threatened) the exterior door handle failing puts her at risk of unnecessary danger. Should this car be involved in an accident and people inside the car injured the failure of the door handle to open would prohibit help and aid to the people from people outside. Should the passengers or driver be incapacitated they could be trapped inside the vehicle, even with people there to assist them. The interior handles not opening could potentially cause severe injury or death to drivers or passengers. If doors cannot open from the inside than people inside the car cannot exit the car in the case of a crash or other hazardous situation. If no one is there to provide aid passengers inside the car may be trapped. No notice was given of the issue before it appeared. It began several months ago. My vehicle has not been inspected by a manufacturer or anyone else yet. My car has not yet had this issued confirmed by a dealer, but this is a well documented issue on youtube. Hyundai is also aware of the issue as they have issued a technical service bulletin for door latch replacement for "some" 2017 Hyundai Elantra models.

Car would just stall out while driving! Would have to put car in park and then try to turn back on. Also burning through oil very fast. Had to replace the timing belt just for 20K miles later having the same issue!
