2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

BOTH DRIVERS AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR ACTUATORS HAVE GONE BAD. I SEE ONLINE THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT IS AS WELL. THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COSTS OF REPAIR. REAR SHOCKS ARE ALSO WORN OUT AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS ANOTHER COMMON ISSUE. ONLY 3 YEARS OLD WITH 39K MILES ON THE CAR.

DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR HANDLE DOES NOT OPEN CAR DOOR FROM OUTSIDE. WAS WORKING FINE ALL DAY THEN STOPPED WORKING. CAR WAS STATIONARY. FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE CAME OFF IN MY HAND. THIS OCCURRED MONTHS PRIOR TO FRONT DRIVER DOOR.

THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED WHILE MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY AND IN MOTION, ON A CIY STREET, ON A HIGHWAY AND WHILE TURNING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AS THE CAR SHAKES. IF I'M IN MOTION, THE LIGHT WILL STAY ON WHILE MY FOOT IS ON THE ACCELERATOR, TURN OFF WHEN I TAKE IT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND COME BACK ON WHEN IT REACHES 1RPM'S. IF I'M STOPPED IT WILL JUMP FORWARD WHEN I PRESS THE GAS TO ACCELERATE (THE WHOLE TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON). WHILE I'M STATIONARY, IT WILL STAY ON WHILE IT'S AT 1RPM'S OR BELOW. I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER A COUPLE TIMES ALREADY TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. THE FIRST TIME THEY TOLD ME IT HAD TO DO WITH MY SPARK PLUGS SO I DID THE SERVICE TO GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF. THE SECOND TIME I WENT THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY CODE TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. HERE WE ARE AGAIN AND I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS AS I'VE CURRENTLY READ MANY 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I DON'T SEE THE BENEFIT OF BRINGING IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN IF I'M JUST GOING TO PAY FOR A SERVICE THAT ISN'T GOING TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM AND THEY CONTINUE TO SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM. I DO HAVE VIDEO TO SHOW THE PROBLEM.

THE DOORS IN THE 2017 ELANTRA MODEL STOPPED WORKING, THEY DO NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE AND SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE EITHER.

REAR, PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. YOU CAN HEAR THE LOCK MECHANISM WORKING, BUT THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN NO MATTER WHAT WE DO. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH HYUNDAIS FOR YEARS NOW. HERE'S A LINK TO A FORUM THAT TALKS ABOUT IT. HTTPS://WWW.HYUNDAI-FORUMS.COM/THREADS/REAR-PASSENGER-DOOR-WONT-OPEN.603329/ THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE SAYS IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY, AND WON'T LOOK AT IT WITHOUT CHARGING ME, SO I DIDN'T GET A REPAIR ESTIMATE.

THE VEHICLE LIT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL THE SCC SYSTEM AND THE AEB SYSTEM THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK

THIS IS MY THIRD HYUNDAI AND FOR SOME REASON MY FRONT BREAKS WERE COMPLETELY SHOT AND I HAD TO SPEND $567.65 TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. AFTER SEARCHING OTHER CARS THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED THIS EARLY ESPECIALLY WITH ALMOST ALL HIGHWAY DRIVING. I HAD BEEN THINKING ABOUT ANOTHER HYUNDAI, BUT WITH THIS PROBLEM I AM THINKING MAYBE A DIFFERENT BRAND MAY BE BETTER. THIS PROBLEM HAD NOT OCCURED BEFORE.BREAKS WERE REPAIRED AT DEALER OTHERWISE I MIGHT JUST LOSE MY WARRENTY. I CAN TELL YOU I AM NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER OF HYUNDAI AT THIS POINT AT 36,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR DOORS WERE UNLOCKED HOWEVER, THE DOORS FAIL TO OPEN FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE DOOR WAS ABLE TO BE OPENED FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR FAILED TO OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE DOOR UNLOCKED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. ELDER HYUNDAI (19077 HALL RD, MACOMB, MI 48044, (586) 838-1667) WAS CONTACT BY PHONE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

MY HEADLAMP LIGHTBULBS KEEP BURNING OUT. IN 2020 ALONE I HAVE SWITCHED THEM OUT 3 TIMES EACH! WAS TOLD THAT'S NOT NORMAL. TODAY I SWITCHED THE PASSENGER SIDE FOR THE 3RD TIME THIS YEAR. I'M SURE BEFORE 2021 I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE. IT'S GETTING EXPENSIVE! ALSO MY IGNITION COIL HAS GONE OUT 2CE IN 4 YEARS. (YES IT'S A 2017 BUT I PURCHASED 6/30/2016) MY CAR SHAKES AND MAKES WEIRD NOISE. SAME ONE #1 IS THE CULPRIT.

COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO I COULDN'T GET EITHER OF MY BACK DOORS TO OPEN UP, FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND GOT IT FIXED WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY. I MADE A COMPLAINT ON HERE THEN AND NOTICED OTHERS WERE HAVING THE TROUBLE. NOW, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WON'T OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS IS [XXX]. 3 OF MY FOUR DOORS AND OTHERS HAVING THE ISSUE. IN FACT, THERE HAS BEEN 220 COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE ABOUT THIS CAR AND 33 OF THEM ARE BECAUSE THE DOORS WON'T OPEN. THERE HAVE BEEN 5 IN THE LAST MONTH....WHEN DOES IT BECOME HYUNDIA'S PROBLEM?
