2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

ENGINE KNOCKING STARTED AT 60,000 MILES. THE RODS ARE KNOCKING, AND METAL SHAVINGS FOUND IN OIL PAN.

MY WIFE WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO WORK, AND SHE REAR-ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER. WE WENT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP NEARBY AND THEY TESTED IT FOR TWO DAYS AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. ON ONE OF THEIR TESTS THE ENGINE DIED AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED BUT THEY HAD NOT YET HOOKED UP THE DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT SO THEY NEVER CAPTURED THE SOURCE OF THAT FAILURE. ALL OTHER TIMES THE BREAKS AND THE ENGINE WORKED FINE. THE RESULT WAS THAT THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND MADE AN ABNORMAL TICKING NOISE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000. *TR

THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN YOU TRY TO TURN INTO A CURVE YOU HAVE TO BE VERY FORCEFUL WITH TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH LEADS TO EITHER ENDING UP IN THE OTHER LANE OR IN THE DITCH. THIS IS A SAFETY RISK AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THIS IS NOT JUST HAPPENING WITH MY CAR, ITS HAPPENING WITH SEVERAL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM FURTHER BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE ENGINE WOULD RANDOMLY SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND 1 TIME WHILE STOPPING. WHEN SITTING IN PARK, THE OIL LIGHT STATS TO FLASH. AFTER TAKING IT INTO A DEALER, THEY INFORMED ME THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS ONLY 112,000 MILES ON A 2014 CAR. IT HAS HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND KEPT IN GOOD CONDITION. THIS LOOKS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE HYUNDAI PUTS IN THEIR VEHICLES. THE SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY PEOPLE.

FOR ABOUT A MONTH MY CAR WOULDN'T START EXCEPT AFTER A FEW TRIES IT THEN STARTED. I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO THE WEATHER, BUT I LATER LEARNED IT WASNT. I HAD SPARK PLUGS CHANGED LINES FLUSHED AND BATTERY CHECKED AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. IT WON'T START AT ALL.

FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS NOW MY CAR RANDOMLY WON'T START. AFTER A FEW TRIES IT FINALLY DOES. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE JUST ON COLDER DAYS BUT IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY. I CHANGED THE BATTERY AS PER THE SUGGESTION OF THE DEALER AND IT STILL RANDOMLY WON'T START.

AFTER BEING PARKED OVERNIGHT, SPORADICALLY THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK UPON PRESSING THE BRAKE AND STARTING THE CAR. THE LITTLE BUTTON ON THE SHIFTER THAT YOU PUSH IN ORDER TO MOVE OUT OF PARK IS LOCKED AND WHEN PRESSED, EMITS A SOUND COMING FROM THE IGNITION WHERE YOU PUT THE KEY IN. YOU CAN HEAR IT CLICK FROM THE STEERING COLUMN EACH TIME YOU PRESS THE RELEASE BUTTON ON THE SHIFTER. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. THEN THE CAR SHIFTS OUT OF PARK NORMALLY. I CANNOT GET THE CAR TO REPLICATE THIS FOR THE MECHANIC, AS IT ONLY HAPPENS EVERY FEW DAYS.

I HAVE A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA, I'M HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY LEFT SIGNAL. I STOPPED @ A RED LIGHT TURNED MY LEFT SIGNAL ON. I NOTICE MY LEFT SIGNAL WAS FLASHING FAST. WHEN IT WENT OF IT CAUSE MY HEAD LIGHTS & MY LIGHTS IN THE INSIDE TO BLINK OFF & ON. WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECK MY LIGHTS AND NOTICE THE LEFT SIGNAL BULB IN THE FRONT WAS BURNED. I WENT TO A AUTO PLACE AND REPLACED A NEW BULB. IT LAST FOR @ LEAST 4 MONTHS & IT WENT AGAIN ACTING UP. I CHANGE DA BULB AGAIN AFTER 4 MONTHS IT STARTS AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP THE BULB WAS CHANGE THEN. I NOTICE AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS IT STARTS ACTING UP. I CAN'T KEEP BRINGING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP OR TO A AUTO PLACE TO REPLACE THE BULB. BECAUSE IT COST ME I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. BECAUSE EVERYTIME I USE MY LEFT SIGNAL MY HEADLIGHTS BLINKS OFF & ON OUTSIDE & INSIDE OF MY CAR. I'M AFRAID I WILL BE DRIVING & WHEN I'LL USE THAT LEFT SIGNAL & NOTHING WILL COME BACK ON. THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OR BACK WANT SEE ME OR NO WHAT I'M DOING. THAT'S A BIG HAZARD TO MY LIFE & OTHERS ON THE ROAD ALSO. MY NAME IS [XXX], WHEN YOU WILL PULL IT UP UNDER THE VIN# IT'S UNDER MY MOTHER NAME [XXX] I [XXX] AM THE DRIVER OF THE CAR. IF NO ANSWER PLEASE LEAVE YOUR NAME & A NUMBER DO I CAN CONTACT U BACK. I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY COMPLAINT ON WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY CAR. HAVE A GREAT DAY & BE BLESS.
