2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that the front driver's and rear passenger's doors were not able to open as needed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the door actuators needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

My car started misfiring at about 23K miles. It would bog down on the highway and cars, numerous times, we forced to slam on their brakes to avoid hitting me. Over the course of the next 20K I had to change ignition coils 3 times. At just around 61K I went back to the Hyundai dealer (Nashua NH) and I was told that since I bought the car second hand that the 100K warranty was no longer in effect. I would be fully responsible for everything financially going forward. They said the camshaft position sensor was the problem. They said for $1700 they would take the top of my motor off and "see if we can find the problem". At that point I went to my own mechanic. He changed the camshaft position sensor (that didn't fix it),Crankshaft position sensor (that didn't fix it) and the Vvt Solenoid (that didn't fix it). At this point the check engine was saying that now it was the timing belt that was causing problems. So after spending $3K already it would cost another $2K to change the belt. Well that didn't fix anything either. So now, with almost 3 more years of payments to be made the car is undriveable. In 2 weeks I will be paying to $8K more to install a brand new motor in this car. It is the opinion of my mechanic and of the Nashua Hyundai dealer that the reason I need a new motor is because of all of the issues I have had since the day I purchased this car from Carvana. I had Hyundai America look into these issues and they said if I was the original owner they would have taken care of these issues but since I was the second owner it was only warranted for 60K and I was out of luck. Doing some online researcg there have been MANY issues with the motor of the 2017 Elantra. I have 3 years of payments left and when the new motor is in I will have invested about $11K to keep this on the road. I have documented information if you need it. Please look into these issues.

Engine locked up, no warning lights no indications. Have to purchase a new engine it happen on the highway and the car only had 69000 miles, almost cost me an accident

My 2017 Hyundai Elantra has only 61,000 miles on it. It has been maintained on time etc. It is seriously burning oil. Between oil changes it will burn no less than a quart. Most of the time much more. The check engine lights pop on and then the engine dies intermittently while driving numerous times a day. It has done this irregardless of what driving mode the vehicle is in. I have seen 100s of detailed accounts describing the same issue .

Was driving getting ready to turn in driveway an it dies an will not start it was about a week before it started an now it’s knocking or something never had any lights come on an never had any problems

I was driving normally as I always do when my engine seized and cut off out of nowhere in the middle of a busy intersection. After dealership inspection I was told the engine was faulty and needed a $10000 replacement

The car is 6 years old (just past the 5 year warranty). Within the past week, the front and rear passenger doors are unable to be opened from either the outside or the inside. This is an incredible life threatening safety risk. When searching the internet, this is a common problem with Hyundai and is expensive to fix, yet there are no recalls on this.

I own a 2017 Hyundai Elantra Pearl White color. The car has around 40,000 miles on it, and I have paint peeling issues on the hood and the roof. I don't think car paints should peel off this easily. Considering the amount of peeling, I don't think this is natural wear and tear issue. I heard from someone that Hyundai's water based paints had some issues, but since the company is not speaking up for his matter, it is difficult to know what the actual problems are. I would expect Hyundai to step up and deal with this issue :(

The engine is currently consuming oil at a rapid rate. Yes, it is available for inspection. The car has stalled out because the car is consuming oil thereby hurting the engine. The issue was confirmed by the dealer but they are refusing to help. Yes, the car has been inspected by Hyundai and also by an independent, licensed mechanic. The warning lamps only just recently occured. Upon research, my independent, licensed mechanic confirmed this was a known issue. Hyundai declined to assist on multiple occasions.
