2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

FIRST WINTER WITH THE CAR AND I HAD A WEIRD SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEN TURNING. I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEY TOOK THE CAR IN AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS ICE PACKED AROUND STEERING RACK. THE CAR IS PARKED OUTSIDE ON THE STREET OR ALSO OFF THE ROAD IN MY DRIVEWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY YEAR SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR BUT I HAVE ONLY TAKEN IT DOWN ONCE. WHEN I CALL THE APPOINTMENT IS USUALLY DAYS OUT. NY WINTERS.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR A SHORT ROAD TRIP THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT AND BELL CAME ON SAYING THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING. PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POPPED THE HOOD TO FIND THE RADIATOR WET AND SMELLING SWEET. I LIMPED THE CAR THE FEW MILES AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER SHIP STATED THAT THE RADIATOR FAN WAS LOOSE CAUSING THE BLADE TO RUB A WHOLE IN THE RADIATOR CAUSING A HOLE TO FORM. THEY ALSO REPLACED THE OIL IN THE CAR TO ENSURE THAT THE OIL WAS NOT COMPROMISED AFTER GETTING SO HOT. REPLACED WITH HAVOLINE SYNTHETIC.

1.THE CAR WHILE REVERSING INTO DRIVEWAY SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND HAD A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. (M.I.L, BATTERY, & OIL PRESSURE) LIGHT ALL CAME ON AT ONCE. RESTARTED CAR MANAGING TO GET IT OFF THE STREET AND IT DIED AGAIN WITHIN FEET. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND NOTHING FOUND. 8/31/18 2. THE CAR 11 DAYS LATER ATTEMPTED TO SHUT OFF WHILE STOPPED ON A ELEVATED HIGHWAY OFF RAMP. I WAS FORCED TO MAKE AN ILLEGAL TURN TO PREVENT CAR FROM SHUTTING OFF AND POTENTLY ROLLING BACK. REVERSING IN DRIVEWAY AGAIN CAR ATTEMPTED TO SHUT OFF BUT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL. THE SAME LIGHTS AS BEFORE DISPLAYED AGAIN. DEALER CLEANED PCM & BATTERY GROUNDS. 9/10/2018 3. 9/20/19 WHILE PARKED THE CAR ATTEMPTED TO STALLED. THE RPM'S DROPPED QUICK AND STABILIZED. NO LIGHTS DISPLAYED. DEALER HAS NOT CHECK OUT THE VEHICLE YET BUT HYUNDAI HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS. 4.THE VEHICLE WHILE ACCELERATING UP MY EMPLOYERS DRIVE WAS THE CAR HESITATES UNLESS GAS IS PRESSED MORE THEN NORMAL. THE CAR HAS NOT STALLED YET ON THESE CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD ALL SERVICE DONE ON THE INTERVALS PER HYUNDAI. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAD JUST OVER 16K MILES. THE VEHICLE ON THE FIRST 2 OCCASIONS WERE BOTH ON SOME FORM OF A SLIGHT GRADE. THE 3RD TIME WAS ON A FLAT STREET. FINALLY THE CAR IN 3 OF THE 4 OCCASIONS ALL INVOLVED INCLINES OF DIFFERENT GRADES.

CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A LEFT FRONTAL/UNDERCARRIAGE ACCIDENT AFTER BEING RUN OFF THE INTERSTATE BY AN INATTENTIVE DRIVER. VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH UPON IMPACT WITH A LARGE DRAIN GRATE IN A POTHOLE. IMPACT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO DEPLOY THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS. SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, FRONT AIRBAGS DID NOT. VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. NO MAJOR INJURIES OCCURRED, ONLY MINOR BRUISING AND BURNS AS A RESULT OF SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. DRIVER AND TWO CHILDREN WERE INSIDE THE VEHICLE UPON IMPACT, ALL PROPERLY RESTRAINED BY SEAT BELTS. POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND FIRE WERE DISPATCHED AS WELL. ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON INTERSTATE 95 S, IN SAVANNAH, GA.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. LEAVING US DRIVING IN THE DARK. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO USE BLINKERS OR SWITCH HIGH BEAMS ON OR OFF. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY IT'S THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH AND WANT 372.84 TO REPLACE IT. MY WARRANTY HAS JUST RUN OUT AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT AND NOW THIS IS OUT AS WELL AS THE BACK DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW, IT'S A 2017. I FEEL THE SWITCH AND POSSIBLY THE BACK DOOR ACTUATOR MUST BE FAULTY.

SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN THE DARK WHEN SWITCHING FROM LOW TO HIGH BEAMS OR HIGH TO LOW BEAMS, ALL LIGHTS GO OFF CAUSING A VERY BAD SAFETY ISSUE! THEY COME BACK ON AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED OR WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND JERKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KEN GARFF HYUNDAI (717 SOUTH WEST TEMPLE, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84101, 801-257-3200) WHERE THE DUAL CLUTCH WAS RESET; HOWEVER, THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO YOUNG HYUNDAI (333 WALL AVENUE, OGDEN UT, 84401) WHERE IT WAS KEPT FOR SIX DAYS. THE DEALER CLEANED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200.

WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS ON ISDE STREETS IT IS DIFFICULT TO TURN THE VEHICLE, FEELS LIKE STEERING WHEEL IS ABOUT TO LOCK UP. THERE ARE RECALLS ON 2017 HYUNDIA ELANTRAS BUT WHEN I CALLED THEY SAID NOT ON MY VEHICLE. I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRAS BUT MIGHT ISN'T COVERED?

I HAD BEFORE A CAR HYUNDAY ELANTRA 2013, AND THAT CAR HAS RECALL BECAUSE HAVE SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE BREAKS, AND AFTER THAT CARR I BUYED A HYUNDAY ELANTRA 2017, ITS WAS THE SAME THINK WITH THE BREAKS WHEN THE ROAD WAS WET THE BREAKS DO NOT WORK AND THEY MAKE A NOISE, I HAD ACCIDENT WHEN WAS RAINING MY CAR HIT WITH THE CONCRETE FENCE, THE CRASH WAS SO BAD BUT ITNS VERY RARE , THE CAR IS TOTAL LOST AND THE AIRBAGS NEVER WAS DEPLOYED PLEASE CAN YOU INVESTIGATE THAT ISSUE , BECAUSE I THINK THE AIRBAG NEVER WORKS. I DONT KNOW WHAT KINDA OR MAKE AIR BAGS ARE..I AM OK BUT THAT WHY A LOT O PEOPLE DIE.MY CAR WAS IN MOTION IN A HIGHWAY

MY CAR INTERMITTENTLY BEGINS TO IDLE ROUGH AND STALL WHILE IN DRIVE. THE SYSTEM CHECK IN THE CAR NORMALLY REVEALS NOTHING. ON OCCASION IT WILL GIVE A MESSAGE REGARDING THE EMS. , I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND ASK THEM TO CHECK AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THIS CHECK WAS DONE AT APPROXIMATELY 59,000 MILES. AFTER THE SYSTEM CHECK AT THE DEALERSHIP THE AUTOMOBILE STOP HAVING STALLING PROBLEMS FOR A WHILE. THE CAR IS NOW AT 76000 + MILES AND IS BEGINNING TO STALL AGAIN WHILE IN DRIVE. IT IS ALSO SHOWING SIGNS OF IDLING ROUGH WITH NO INDICATOR OR SYSTEM CHECK REVEALING ANY PROBLEM. JUST RECENTLY IT HAS BEGIN TO STALL AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN GOES BACK OFF. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING OR TRANSPORTING OTHERS. SPECIFICALLY, ROUGH IDLING CAN HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK. STALLING OF THE ENGINE OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE ONLY OR IN REVERSE GEAR.
