2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

THE VEHICLE ORIGINAL PAINT JOB IS PEELING, HOOD, ROOF , NO INDICATION OF HAIL DAMAGE, ACCIDENT OR ETC...

'TAKATA RECALL' I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY TRANSMISSION SKIPS OR JERKS RANDOMLY. AS I'M DRIVING ON THE STREETS OR ON THE HIGHWAY... MY RPM'S WILL JUMP UP TO 3, 4, OR SOMETIMES 5 WHEN I'M DRIVING AND HOLDING STEADY AT 2 RPM'S. I ALWAYS DRIVE THE SPEED LIMIT AND NEVER FLOOR MY GAS PEDAL. IT ALSO WILL FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT CATCHING THE GEARS CORRECTLY AND WILL JERK. THIS IS SOMETHING I HAVE NOTICED OVER THE YEARS WITH MY CAR BUT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE OVER TIME. I DO ALSO HAVE TROUBLE IF I CHANGE MY DRIVE MODE TO 'SPORT'. THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SEEM TO GRIP THE GEARS WHEN NEEDED SO I NEVER REALLY USE THE SPORT MODE.

OVER THE COURSE OF MY OWNERSHIP MY SUN VISORS BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER HAVE LOOSENED AND NOW HAVE COME LOOSE FROM THE HOUSING, CAUSING THEM TO NOT WORK PROPERLY. THEY NOW WILL NOT STAY UP COMPLETELY AND WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP THEY POP DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY HAMPERING YOUR VISION CAUSING A HUGE HAZARD. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE AND HAVE TO REMOVE THEM AND TRY TO FIND REPLACEMENTS TO KEEP FROM DIEING ON THE HIGHWAY.

RECENTLY MY VEHICLE STARTED HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW AND NO ROOT CAUSE CAN BE FOUND, THIS OCCURS WITH NO WARNING AND WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED. THERE ARE ALSO NO LIGHTS OR MESSAGES DISPLAYING. VERY SCRAY ON A DARK RURAL ROAD WITHOUT WARNING.

MY CAR WAS PARKED AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS TURNED ON. THERE WAS AN INCIDENT WHERE I LIVE THAT THE FIRE ALARM WENT OFF IN THE APARTMENT BUILDING AND I JUST HAPPENED TO BE STANDING OUTSIDE AND MY CAR'S EXTERIOR LIGHTS TURNED ON BY THEMSELVES. I HAD MY KEY AND I TRIED TO TURN OFF THE CAR REMOTELY, BUT THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. I HAD TO GO TO MY CAR, TURN IT ON, AND THEN SHUT IT OFF. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY ABOUT THE SAME TIME AROUND 11 P.M. I DID THE SAME THING. TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF AND THEN SHUT IT OFF AND USED THE KEY REMOTE TO LOCK IT. WHAT IS WORSE, WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT, I HAD MY RIGHT BLINKER ON TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, AND I NOTICED THE HEAD LAMPS COMPLETELY WENT DARK WHEN I TURNED AND I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING, THE HEAD LIGHTS CAME BACK ON BY THEMSELVES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN. PLEASE MAKE NOTE OF THIS.

THERE IS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THERE IS LOSS OF POWER . ENGINE DOES NOT RUN PROPERLY. CORRECTLY. THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIND A FAULT CODE SO CAN NOT FIX IT. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER FULL WARRANTY WITH PREMIUM EXTENDED WARRANTY

MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SEVERAL TIMES THE CAR STARTS TO ACT LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THERE IS LIKE NO POWER TO THE CAR A YEAR AGO I WAS DRIVING UP A OVERPASS AND MY CAR STALLED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I SERIOUSLY COULD OF GOT KILLED I WANT ANSWERS TO WHY THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE CAR STARTS TO BREAK DOWN APPARENTLY I FEEL IT'S THE ENGINE OR THE POWER SYSTEM IS FAILING .

SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR FROM 2017 TO NOW, THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE. THE CAR WILL SHAKE AND THEN SLOW FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL POP ON. THE BREAKS ARE SOMETIMES VERY HARD. I SOMETIMES HAVE TO PUSH HARDER ON THEM, BUT THEN THEY MAKE A WEIRD NOISE. IT IS QUITE SCARY.

BACK DOOR ON DRIVERS SIDE WILL NOT OPEN. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF CAR IN AN EMERGENCY. I HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN. I THINK HYUNDAI SHOULD HAVE TO COVER THE COST OF GETTING THIS FIXED EVEN IF IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY FOR MILEAGE.

DRIVER DOOR WHEN IT IS UNLOCKING WE CANNOT OPEN IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT OPEN AT ALL. IT HASN'T OPENED IN A FEW MONTHS. I DON'T USE THE BACK OF THE CAR BEING AS IT'S JUST ME AND MY HUSBAND. TODAY WE TOOK MY IN-LAWS TO THE STORE AND MY FATHER IN LAW COULDN'T BUCKLE BECAUSE THE THING THAT HOLDS THE SEAT BELT WAS LOCKED DOWNWARD AND WOULD NOT LATCH.
