2017 Hyundai Elantra

Right front suspension strut mount failed. This allowed the front strut to be come disconnected from the strut mount. The strut is free to to become disconneted from the cars frame. In my case the strut has traveled up through the strut mount and through the trim cover and impacting the inside of the cars engine compartment hood. Currently the strut is resting on the lower side of the strut mount. Only the weight of the car is keeping the strut inside the coil. This places the driver and occupants at risk of the strut over travaling . It also puts the mechanic at risk, because the coil spring is not being retained by the strut mount plate. The car can be inspected. I have not had the problem confirmed, The first indication of the problem was a audible rattle from the right front suspension

The passenger side rear door will not open. The door locks and unlocks fine, but it refuses to open. The door handles both feel as though there is no tension when they're pulled and the door does not move. The car has not been involved in an accident and the rear doors did not receive a large amount of use (not daily used to carry backseat passengers). This is an extreme safety issue as we have recently had to use the vehicle to transport two small children (7 and 4 years old).

We recently took the 2017 Hyundai Elantra in for unrelated repairs and found that the driver’s side rear door could not be opened from either the inside or the outside. The shop that was doing the repairs tried calling the local Hyundai dealer to see if they could offer some assistance in regards to this unusual situation, but they would not return their calls. In order to finish the repairs we were having done, they needed to have the door open. Through research of their own, they found a way to finally get the door free and ended up having to replace the rear door latch. We ended up paying over $500 to have it fixed. The mileage on the car is just over 60,000 and is not covered under warranty anymore. Considering the rear doors are rarely used in this vehicle, we were shocked to see that there were problems with such little use over a short time. After doing further research on this problem, we found that there are many Hyundai owners that have been having this similar issue on all of the passenger doors. It scares me to think that this might happen in the future when we won’t be as lucky if there's an accident and have to exit the car quickly. I would hope that it can be seen that this is a very real safety issue and would consider a Safety Recall or Service Campaign for this problem.

The door locks on my Hyundai are not working properly. They do not open from the outside or inside, even though the lock buttons are operational and the key fob is working properly. It is a safety risk that they do not open properly in case of an accident or fire. I've read websites on several internet boards that this is a recurring issue with Hyundai vehicles and this poses a very big risk for owners. The body shop technician I took the vehicle to shared the same concerns about the faulty issues from Hyundai and is still working to resolve the issue part by part. The little CLS stopped working almost suddenly, with them opening from the outside after several attempts, to then not opening at all from the outside, to then not opening from the inside or outside. There is no open recall for this issue even though several individuals have reported and is a known defect.

I bought the car 3 years ago and during the first year I had to replace an engine coil, a few months later Inhad to replace the other 5. On July 3rd I was driving on the highway with my family and while I was stopped in traffic I heard a slight whine and then a knocking sound coming from the engine. I then started driving again and felt the steering wheel lock up and the gas tighten up and I realized the car had shut off. I had to immediately veer off the highway to avoid hitting somebody and noticed that the electronics were working. I then restarted the car and drove home through local backroads where the car kept shutting off intermittantly. I then took my car to a mechanic who notified me there was sludge in the engine and he had 3 to 4 other customers he recently has seen this happen to in regards to Hyundai Elantra’s. I tried to contact the dealership who accused me of not taking care of my vehicle. I currently have an ope case with Hyundai corporate. From what I’ve seen online Hyundai is aware of these engine issues about piston knock and wngine sludge due to piston issues yet has not offered a recall or any type of customer assistance. The engine failure could have not only grievously injured my family but any other drivers I may have hit or been hit by due to this known engine issue.

When driving around 35 mph my vehicle had a loss of power suddenly shut off. It would not start again... I have 74k miles and the check engine light was not illuminated prior to this incident. I was merging onto a street and the loss of power had left me stranded and in danger near other cars. Vehicle was maintained well and there was no prior indications that there would be an issue. Many other 2017 Hyundai Elantra owners are having these issues and are being forced to repair their engines at a high cost.
