2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

The cars breaks are difficult to stop, it does not slow down. The steering wheel is very stiff to turn. And my car was stolen due to Hyundai not equiping it with an immobilizer. It was recovered smashed in the front, no airbags were deploited. I have photos for proof.

Had bought the vehicle at 72k miles, and drove fine for a few months before the engine started to sound like it was roaring (like the exhaust had came undone), shortly after vehicle started stalling and dieting turning left (have video evidence of this in parking lot) did not take vehicle in to be serviced as it seemed a lot of the time to be a one off issue but now the vehicle has lost a lot of low speed acceleration, and had begun knocking at 80k miles where it was looked at by an independent mechanic which stated that the engine was severely low on oil. Have been driving since as it is the only way for me to get back and forth to work and the problems have been getting worse to the point the vehicle will refuse to start, or just act like it’s lost a gear and is stuck in neutral

driver side rear door will not open and the front passenger door takes a couple lifts if the exterior handle to get the door to open.

The passenger side door will not open from the outside also the passenger airbag light comes on and off by itself also the steering wheel is jerky and movement

Check engine lights keep coming on for ignition coils and engine keeps stalling out. This seems to be a common problem and surprise theres no recall. The engine stalling is very dangerous because of the potential to cause a traffic accident. The problem originally started in August and has continue to happen up to date. I have had close calls for a traffic accidents which is very scary. The mechanic said that the issue was recalled but online says something different. I just want this issue fixed and not just patched.

Issues with the front, passenger, and back passenger door randomly stop opening. From the inside and outside. Heard many complains about others with this same vehicle. Safety hazard due to not being able to open the door to get out incase of emergency, or even in if need be.

I was driving on the highway in busy NYC doing 50mph in the middle lane and my car shut off. My dashboard Did Not display any warning signals (check engine, check oil, anything) prior to this incident at all. My safety and others were put at risk. This is a known issue with Hyundai vehicles. I researched their were prior recalls for engine issues however elantras were not included in the recall. That needs to change. My car has an appointment for service however something needs to be done NOW about this issue. Things could’ve definitely went different. The maintenance on my vehicle is up to date. My vehicle is serviced at Hyundais service center. I’m extremely frustrated no warning lamps were ever displayed across my screen.

This is the second time I'm requesting to have someone look into this matter. Hyundai had a class action lawsuit regarding engine recalls of many of their different types of vehicles and the elantra was not one of them. Well, my 2017 elsntra is sitting in the shop with the exact diagnosed problem with the car stalling, engine knocking and a rod causing the engine to need replacement with no warning lights appearing on my dashboard. I understand that I am out of the warranty period but this is obviously hyundai who has not properly set the warning lights to illuminate and my car was in the day before for a emissions test in which it passed with no problem. I have looked at several complaints about the 2017 elantra engines are needing to be replaced but consumers are mad because we weren't put into this recall. I think this needs to be looked into and someone should be looking to see why this car was not part of the recall as there is so many complaints about the 2017 elantra.

The problem has been persistent since 70,000 miles. The drivers side passenger door is unable to be opened from the inside and outside, most of the time. The car is available for inspection. Malfunctioning doors is absolutely a safety issue. If the car is involved in an accident the fastest way to get people out is by unlocking the doors and opening them. That cannot be done here thus it requires first responders to used spreaders and cutters to open a door that should be functional. The car is going to the dealership in a few days.

Apparently, hyundai recalled several of their different types of cars for engine knocking and didn't include the 2017 elantra. My car is now sitting at a shop with the exact symptoms that caused the recall. As I was making a left turn, I slowed down and the car stalled and I can hear knocking coming from car at that time. The next morning I heard knocking when I started it and took it right to shop for a diagnostic. There was never any warning lights illuminated while driving my car to indicate any problems, I just heard knocking. You can verify with the mechanic exactly what I said when I took it in and yes its out of warranty but this is do to their error. I have read so many of the same complaints now listed that this is happening to so many 2017 elantras, and it should be investigated further. Under the national highway patrol heading, I found several of the same complaints and I have sent an email to hyundai informing them of the samething I have mentioned to you. I know this was the result of class action lawsuit and I am going to notify the law group that handled the case next to see what needs to be addressed because if this is happening to all the years and makes and models from hyundai, then all our cars should be recalled because the complaints are there on the websites with people having to pay out of pocket for their mishap and its not because of poor maintenance, it's because they manufactured the engine wrong and with no warning lights would make them totally responsible. That's what warning lights do and if they don't illuminate, how can I know where the problem is unless it breaks down and I have to pay for diagnostic. I was asked by mechanic if any warning lights were illuminated and I told him no and this was verified by him after they turned the car on.
