2017 Hyundai Elantra

I was driving on the highway in busy NYC doing 50mph in the middle lane and my car shut off. My dashboard Did Not display any warning signals (check engine, check oil, anything) prior to this incident at all. My safety and others were put at risk. This is a known issue with Hyundai vehicles. I researched their were prior recalls for engine issues however elantras were not included in the recall. That needs to change. My car has an appointment for service however something needs to be done NOW about this issue. Things could’ve definitely went different. The maintenance on my vehicle is up to date. My vehicle is serviced at Hyundais service center. I’m extremely frustrated no warning lamps were ever displayed across my screen.

This is the second time I'm requesting to have someone look into this matter. Hyundai had a class action lawsuit regarding engine recalls of many of their different types of vehicles and the elantra was not one of them. Well, my 2017 elsntra is sitting in the shop with the exact diagnosed problem with the car stalling, engine knocking and a rod causing the engine to need replacement with no warning lights appearing on my dashboard. I understand that I am out of the warranty period but this is obviously hyundai who has not properly set the warning lights to illuminate and my car was in the day before for a emissions test in which it passed with no problem. I have looked at several complaints about the 2017 elantra engines are needing to be replaced but consumers are mad because we weren't put into this recall. I think this needs to be looked into and someone should be looking to see why this car was not part of the recall as there is so many complaints about the 2017 elantra.

The problem has been persistent since 70,000 miles. The drivers side passenger door is unable to be opened from the inside and outside, most of the time. The car is available for inspection. Malfunctioning doors is absolutely a safety issue. If the car is involved in an accident the fastest way to get people out is by unlocking the doors and opening them. That cannot be done here thus it requires first responders to used spreaders and cutters to open a door that should be functional. The car is going to the dealership in a few days.

Apparently, hyundai recalled several of their different types of cars for engine knocking and didn't include the 2017 elantra. My car is now sitting at a shop with the exact symptoms that caused the recall. As I was making a left turn, I slowed down and the car stalled and I can hear knocking coming from car at that time. The next morning I heard knocking when I started it and took it right to shop for a diagnostic. There was never any warning lights illuminated while driving my car to indicate any problems, I just heard knocking. You can verify with the mechanic exactly what I said when I took it in and yes its out of warranty but this is do to their error. I have read so many of the same complaints now listed that this is happening to so many 2017 elantras, and it should be investigated further. Under the national highway patrol heading, I found several of the same complaints and I have sent an email to hyundai informing them of the samething I have mentioned to you. I know this was the result of class action lawsuit and I am going to notify the law group that handled the case next to see what needs to be addressed because if this is happening to all the years and makes and models from hyundai, then all our cars should be recalled because the complaints are there on the websites with people having to pay out of pocket for their mishap and its not because of poor maintenance, it's because they manufactured the engine wrong and with no warning lights would make them totally responsible. That's what warning lights do and if they don't illuminate, how can I know where the problem is unless it breaks down and I have to pay for diagnostic. I was asked by mechanic if any warning lights were illuminated and I told him no and this was verified by him after they turned the car on.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while driving 30-40 MPH, the vehicle stalled inadvertently on several occasions. The check engine warning light, the battery warning light, and several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact veered to the side of the road. The contact stated that upon restarting the vehicle, the engine made abnormal sounds. The contact stated that the failure recurred several times while driving below 50 MPH. An unknown dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 63,000.

The white paint on my 2017 Hyundai Elantra is peeling in large chunks. This may not be a safety issue, but it is a legitimate concern because the Hyundai Corporation is selling vehicles with faulty paint jobs with no recourse to the consumer. The problem is seen on numerous Hyundais driving down the road. Consumers need some sort of intervention to recoup the loss that’s incurred from rust, corrosion or thousands of dollars spent repainting a vehicle. As you can see in my photos, the paint first bubbles then it flakes off. It’s just a matter of time before more paint flies off as I drive down the highway.

The power steering is totally out. Very hard to turn left or right, steering locks up and shakes hard when pressing on brakes, not safe to drive due to faulty power steering system. Took vehicle to Hyundai dealer July 2022 and was told after inspection of vehicle that i needed to pay to have the whole steering column replaced. problem still exist and work has not been done. Now i see that their is a recall for this very same issue, so why are they trying to charge for a obvious recall? warning lights are on as well as the traction light. The lights came on and used to go off and now they stay on continuously.
