2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

WHEN I GO AROUND CURVES (LEFT HAND) MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL FLASH AND I WILL NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER MY BRAKES (IT WILL FEEL AS IF I AM HYDROPLANING) THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY AND FOR NOT SET REASON/ I AM NOT SPEEDING OR HITTING MY BRAKES WHEN THIS OCCURS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD FROM MY DEALERSHIP THAT I NEEDED TIRES, I GOT TIRES, AND IT IS STILL HAPPENING.

WHILE TRYING TO INCREASE SPEED TO GET ON HIGHWAY THE RPM INCREASED BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT SPEED UP. HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

3 OUT OF 4 OF MY DOORS DO NOT OPEN ON MY ELANTRA WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR, THINLY DOOR THAT OPENS IS THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR!

MY ELANTRA TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT, WITHIN 30 MINUTES THE CAR TURNED OFF 3 FREAKING TIMES, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BUT I MANAGED TO TURN VEHICLE ON RIGHT AWAY AND MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME, THANK GOD I WAS ALONE AND DID NOT HAVE MY 5 YEAR OLD WITH ME. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO REALLY LOOK INTO ALL THESE PROBLEMS ASAP

STATIONARY VEHICLE WITH OEM HANKOOK TIRES DEVELOPED SEVERE SIDEWALL CRACKING, NECESSITATING REPLACEMENT. WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER REPLACEMENT AS THEY WOULD NOT COVER TIRE DAMAGE WHEN VEHICLE NOT IN MOTION. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD ATTEMPT TO CONTACT MANUFACTURER, AND WOULD REACH OUT IF A PARTIAL CREDIT WAS AVAILABLE. NO WORD AT THIS TIME.

ENGINE DIES INTERMITTENTLY AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. RMP'S DROP, ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND ENGINE DIES. AT TIMES THERE WILL BE A SHAKE FROM THE ENGINE AND A LOUD RUMBLING SOUND WHILE THE FAN WAS ON PRIOR TO ENGINE SHUTTING OFF. VEHICLE DOES RESTART IMMEDIATELY 90% OF THE TIME AND DRIVES NORMAL. THESE EPISODES HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. AT ONE POINT I HAD MY CHILD IN THE VEHICLE, I WAS ENTERING THE INTERSTATE AND THE ENTRANCE RAMP WAS ONTO THE FAST LANE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I WAS TRAVELING AT A FAST SPEED OF APPROX. 65-70 MPH AS MY VEHICLE STALLED ONCE AGAIN, I LOST CONTROL OF STEERING POWER. THERE WERE SEVERAL VEHICLES BEHIND ME THAT HAD TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES AND VEER OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID HITTING ME. IT WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION TO BE IN, NEVERTHELESS UNSAFE. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED WITH MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AS OF TODAY. IT'S GOING BACK TODAY FOR A 4TH ATTEMPT. SERVICE CALL #1: CANNOT DUPLICATE AND NO CODES PRESENT, BRING BACK WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. SERVICE CALL #2: CANNOT DUPLICATE AND NO CODES PRESENT, RESET ADAPTIVE VALUES AND ROAD TESTED RESCANNED NO CODES PRESENT, BRING BACK IF ANY OTHER ISSUES. SERVICE CALL #3: FINALLY GOT A DUPLICATION, NO CODES PRESENT STILL, REPLACED FRONT ENGINE COVER AND EXHAUST CVVT PHASER PER HYUNDAI TECH LINE. AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE BACK FOR THE THIRD ATTEMPT THE ENGINE DIES TWICE WITHIN 45 MINUTES.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING ON THE ROAD THE CAR STARTED SHAKING IT WOULD NOT INCREASE IN SPEED TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER IT WAS THE IGNITION COIL #3 THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN AS HYUNDAI WILL NOT COVER TO REPLACE ALL 4 COILS JUST THE BAD ONE THAT WAS IN MAY 2019 NOW IT STARTED SHAKING AGAIN THIS TIME I WAS BACKING UP OUT OF A PARKING SPOT IT IS IGNITION COIL #4 ONLY 3 MONTHS LATER I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WAI FOR THE SHAKING TO STOP BLOCKING TRAFFIC

REAR UPPER BUMPER BECAME LOOSE AND FELL OFF OF CAR WHILE DRIVING ON SOUTH PARKWAY FRONT FENDER IS LOOSE AS WELL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. MOMENTS LATER, AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. FLINT HILLS HYUNDAI (7920 E. HIGHWAY 24, MANHATTAN, KS) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.
