2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

THE CAR IS SLOW ACCELERATE LIKE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH IT. IT STARTED THE YEAR 2018. THE CARE WAS PURCHASED 2/17/17 WITH 25 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG.

DOORS WILL NOT OPEN HAVE TO PULL THE HANDLE 5 OR 6 TIMES FOR THE DOOR TO FINALLY OPEN THE PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL FROM THE OUTSIDE YOU HAVE TO OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE TO LET YOUR PASSENGER IN THE CAR. THE BACK DOOR ON DRIVER SIDE WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR AND BACK PASSENGER DOOR WILL OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE THE OTHER 2 DOORS EITHER WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL OR ONLY FROM INSIDE. IF WE WAS JUST HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR IF IT WAS TO CATCH FIRE WITH US INSIDE THEY WOULD HAVE TO BREAK THE WINDOWS OR CUT US OUT OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE NONE OF THE DOORS WORK PROPERLY. THE DRIVER DOOR YOU HAVE TO HIT UNLOCK AND JERK THE HANDLE BOUT 5 OR 6 TIMES THEN IT WILL OPEN FINALLY. I'VE TOOK DOOR PANELS OFF EVERYTHING IS HOOKED UP AND IN WORKING ORDER SO IT'S GTA BE A MALFUNCTION WITHIN THE LOCKS OR SOMETHING I CAN'T FIGURE WHAT ELSE IT CAN BE.

I'VE HAD MY REAR RIGHT DOOR ON CHILD LOCK FOR A WHILE NOW, I USE THAT DOOR EVERY DAY, BUT THE DOOR IS NOT OPENING ALL OF A SUDDEN, I TRIED PULLING THE HANDLE FROM OUTSIDE AND GIVING A GENTLE PUSH FROM INSIDE AT THE SAME TIME AND NOTHING. I'VE TRIED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOOR NUMEROUS TIMES AND STILL NOTHING. THE WINDOW AND THE LOCK WORK, SO I'M GUESSING IT'S SOMETHING WITH THE CHILD LOCK THAT IT'S STUCK OR SOMETHING.

AT SPEEDS UNDER 40-45MPH, WHEN TURNING ONLY RIGHT, OVER BUMPY AND UNEVEN ROADS (RAILROAD TRACKS, MANHOLE COVERS, HUMPS IN THE ROAD, SEAMS IN CONCRETE), THERE IS A CLUNKING/CLICKING NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR WITH AN ACCOMPANYING FEELING IN STEERING/PEDALS. SUSPENSION DURING THESE SITUATIONS FEELS VERY LOOSE/UNSTEADY. FEELS LIKE CONTROL COULD BE LOST IF CAR IS NOT HANDLING PROPERLY.

POWER DRIVERS SEAT MOVES UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN MAKING TURNS AT INTERSECTIONS OR SHARP CORNERING. FEELS LIKE AN ISSUE WITH POWER SEAT MECHANISM/LOOSE FASTENERS. VERY UNEASY FEELING WHEN CORNERING WHICH I FEEL COULD CATCH A DRIVER OFF GUARD AND LEAD TO A LOSS OF CONTROL.

I WAS DRIVING AND WAS T-BONED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYED LATE, HITTING ME IN THE HEAD AND TRAPPING ME AGAINST THE WINDOW. I HAVE A RESULTANT SHOULDER INJURY THAT MAY NOT HAVE HAPPENED WITH APPROPRIATE DEPLOYMENT.

I LEASED MY 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA BRAND NEW. THE THERMOSTAT HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER 3 DAYS AND THE CAR HAD HEAT FOR THE NEXT 3K MILES. SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS HAD POOR HEAT AND EVENTUALLY JUST STOPPED PRODUCING ANY HEAT. A HYUNDAI REP WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND UPDATED THE COMPUTER IN MY CAR. HYUNDAI HAS SAID MY CAR HEAT HAS BEEN TESTED AND IS NOW OPERATIONAL. HOWEVER, MY CAR STILL HAS NO HEAT TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD. THE CAR TAKES A HALF HOUR OF IDLING TO WARM UP THE ENGINE HALFWAY AND EVEN THEN THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE ANY HEAT TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD. I LIVE IN NEW ENGLAND WHERE IT'S VERY COLD IN THE WINTER AND CAN'T GET ENOUGH HEAT IN MY CAR TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD TO SEE TO DRIVE MY CAR. HYUNDAI REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING MORE ABOUT THE HEATING ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY SAY IT IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD.

34000 MILES, EQUIPPED WITH SMART KEY. KEY WAS FUNCTIONING, ALLOWING ENTRANCE AND UNLOCK/LOCK/ALARM FUNCTIONALITY, BUT CAR WOULD NOT START. USED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO HAVE TOWED TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY STARTER. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND HAD PREVIOUSLY SHOWN SOME HESITATION WITH EARLIER ATTEMPTS TO START.

PASSENGER WINDOW IF ROLLED DOWN IT WILL NOT GO UP RIGHT AWAY, AND PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. HAVE TO OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE OF THE HANDLE.

DROVE CAR LESS THAN 20 MILES ROUND TRIP ON CITY STREETS, FOR A MORNING APPOINTMENT. WAS PARKED ABOUT 40 MINUTES DURING THE APPOINTMENT. RETURNED HOME AND PARKED, NO PROBLEM, NO TIRE PRESSURE PROBLEM INDICATED BY SENSORS. DEPARTED ON SECOND TRIP OF THE DAY LESS THAN 6 MILES FROM HOME FOR ANOTHER APPOINTMENT, PARKED FOR ABOUT 50 MINUTES. TIRE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT IN PARKING LOT AFTERWARDS. TOW OPERATOR PLACED MY SPARE TIRE ON, WE VISUALLY INSPECTED THE FALT TIRE AND THERE WAS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO TIRE OR RIM. I DROVE VEHICLE TO NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALER 3.5 MILES AWAY. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT INSPECTED TIRE AND RIM WITH ME AGAIN, SAME CONCLUSION NO VISIBLE AND NO APPARENT DAMAGE. SERVICE DEPARTMENT DUNK TESTED THE TIRE, NO LEAK DETECTED. TIRE WAS RE-INFLATED AND PLACED BACK ON THE CAR. DROVE 2 MILES TO HOME AND PARKED. LESS THAN 2 HOUR LATER TIRE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT AGAIN. TIRE IS ON DRIVER (LEFT) SIDE REAR. VALVE STEM IS SNUG, NO APPARENT PROBLEM EXCEPT THAT TIRE NO LONGER REMAIN INFLATED. TIRE AND WHEEL RIM ARE DEALER/MANUFACTURER ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. TIRE IS BRANDED AS NEXEN NPRIZ AH8, SIZE IS 205/55R16 91H
