2017 Hyundai Elantra

While driving the trunk latch broke and the trunk flew open. There is no damage to the trunk or rear end of the vehicle. We did not hit any pot holes we were on a straight way driving and the trunk just opened. Now it won't close. The truck light won't go out. I am glad we weren't on the highway going at a higher rate of speed and this happened.

Door handles not functioning on my vehicle. Rear drivers side door will not open from inside or outside.Front passenger door does not open from outside only from inside. Front drivers door has had issues opening and closing door handle currently falling off. No known recalls or safety alerts for my vehicle even though Hyundai has released a 10 year extended warranty on door handles mine is not warrantable to my knowledge.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and making turns, the steering wheel became stiff and uncontrollable. The steering warning light was illuminated. The local dealer was notified and scheduled a service appointment. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 46000.

My car stalled twice while driving on my way to work and had a weird knocking sound. I brought this to my local mechanic and they believed it was Rod Knock cause by premature rod bearing failure. They said this is a common issue with Hyundai 2.0L 4 cylinder engines and told me to reach out to a Hyundai dealership. The first dealer I called said if it was the rod bearing it would be covered under an extended warranty. That dealership couldn’t get me in for 3-4 weeks so I called the dealership I purchased the car new at. They said the same thing that it was a common issue with the 2.0 4 cylinder engines and said they could get me in in less than a week. I paid to have my car towed to them on Friday and they called me this morning confirming that it is a worn rod bearing and informed me I would need a new engine. They said that my specific VIN is not covered by their extended warranty covering this specific issue. It is my understanding that specific models using the same engine are covered but for some reason mine is not. I just spent over $2000 on the engine with issues that they said they wouldn’t cover and now they want me to pay them over $7000 to replace the engine on an issue they are aware of in this 2.0l engine they manufactured. Please help me to rectify this issue with my car. I cannot afford $7000+ for a new engine and I certainly cannot afford a new car. This car is less than 6 years old and I would have expected power train to last significantly longer.

This is a very unsafe vehicle. There should be a recall!!!! This is a well known problem, yet Huyndai and NTHSA does nothing. How many people will be involved in an accident or killed before you do something? This vehicle has been having check engine light come on multiple times in past month. When it does the whole car shudders/shakes , and won't accelerate. There is also a knocking. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT wAITING TO HAPPEN! First time I took it in was to a Firestone shop as Huyndai had no opening for weeks. I drive 60 miles 1 way for my job, so couldn't wait for Huyndai. Firestone said it was misfiring, and that it was very low on oil. They couldn't get it to duplicate the incident, so couldn't figure out the problem. An oil change was done. Multiple times in next 2 weeks the light would come on, then sometimes go off with no other issues, but sometimes the same knocking sounds and shaking. I took it back to Firestone and they determined a coil needed to be replaced and a spark plug. And in that short of time the oil was seriously low again. These fixes were done. The next day after picking it up, same issues!!!! Firestone won't work on it now as they don't know what else to do. We have an appointment with Huyndai but not until Sept. 12th. What am I supposed to do???? Take a chance of dying every day to get to work? I can't afford a rental for the next few weeks until Huyndai can look at it. This is so unfair. Why haven't you made Huyndai recall and fix this very well known issue? Please help!

Bought 2017 Hyundai Elantra in May 2020 car had no paint peeling at Odometer reading 82,888. In October 2020 the paint on the hood of the car near the headlights started peeling the odometer reading was about 92,897 at that point. A couple months later the roof next to the windshield start peeling too. Now those spots have grown each time it rains. These spots are now starting to rust. Obviously this is bringing down the value of the car. Not to mention it makes the car look terrible. After I bought the car I went out and put new tires and wheels on it plus other accessories to make it stand out only to have the paint start peeling and have it look terrible. As a consumer I should not have to pay for Hyundai mistake in painting thier cars incorrectly.

Ignition coils in my car have failed three times in between 2021-2022. First repair was back in October of 2021 for misfiring cylinder. Both the check engine and low oil pressure light came on in the middle of my drive. It was like a lightbulb suddenly blowing up. Roadside assistance was called the following day to pick my car up and tow to dealership. Second occurrence was July 30, 2022 and diagnosed on August 5, 2022. My car shook and jolted when idle and even turned off in the middle of an intersection. Cylinder #3 was reported to be misfiring and coil was replaced by the dealership. However, two days after the replacement of the coil, the light comes back on and my car begins to jolt at idle once more. Engine turned off in the parking lot this time around. Performed a diagnostic and found cylinder #2 to be misfiring. Currently awaiting repairs for this specific issue once more but my car will go back and forth between smooth driving and its rattling.

The contact owned a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, the fuel warning light flickered and the radio activated and deactivated independently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was determined that the vehicle was performing as designed due to a satellite not being connected. On another occasion, the vehicle accelerated on its own and the brake pedal hesitated to respond. The contact depressed the brake pedal to the floorboard in order for the vehicle to come to a stop. The vehicle was taken to another dealer due to the above failures; in addition to shuttering and jerking while depressing on the accelerator, as if it was not receiving fuel. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact did a private diagnosis which indicated electrical system malfunction. The contact was informed to start using a halo battery charger to jump the vehicle. The contact then stated while driving at approximately 40 MPH at night, the vehicle started accelerating inadvertently, and she then turned on high beams for better visibility to pull over safely; however, they failed. The contact then pulled her emergency brakes and ended in a ditch. All air bags deployed. The contacts phone and alert device did not operate. The contact was able to call her son, who called 911. The police, fire, and paramedics arrived on the scene. The fire department cut the contact out of the destroyed vehicle. There were no medical treatments on the scene. The contact was transported to the hospital. The entire driver's side of the vehicle from the front end to the back rear and the entire front of the vehicle was destroyed. The contact experienced a bad concussion and blacked out. The vehicle was towed to the wrecking yard. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 44,000.
