I was on a highway driving the vehicle (a 2014 hyundai elantra) at highway speed when it inexplicably "stalled" for lack of a better term. I quickly lost speed and could not accelerate despite the fact that i was pressing the gas pedal all the way to the floor at one point. The vehicle simply did not respond. There was plenty of gas in the vehicle, so i had not run out of gas. The vehicle appeared to have shut off…

The first incident occurred as i was on an on ramp about to merge on to a highway. The car lost power and acted like it was about to stall - though there was gas (it was about 1/4 full); its an automatic so as far as i could tell it was not in the wrong gear. It revved up but did not gain any speed. Somehow it recovered and i was able to continue without further incident. I am not sure where this falls - but even…

I was approaching highway from city roads and i had to accelerate to get in the flow. Suddenly, i felt that even though i was accelerating, car did not gain speed. I checked rpms and it was quite high for the speed that car was moving. It looked to me as if car was in neutral gear but it was not. The car behind me almost hit my car because the driver was expecting my car to move faster. I had to stop on shoulder to…

When driving at highway speeds, the transmission slips out of gear and the rpms go sky high and the car runs like it is in neutral. I have to tap the brake before it will adjust and go back into gear. This seems to be a bigger problem when carrying passengers. The added weight appears to be a factor. It's rather dangerous since it can happen at any time without warning and happened just this past weekend when…

I purchased this vehicle based on the gas mileage rating and the 5 star safety rating. I traded a 2012 vw passat se for the elantra gt. The elantra cost $5,000 less, but the insurance is $600 more annually. The vw was rated 31 mpg highway, but averaged 33+ mpg highway: the elantra was rated at 37 mpg highway, but at 4 different speeds (resetting the indicator between speeds), the best mileage is 32 mpg. To make…

Unable to fill gas tank because the gas pump would click off just after pumping a few dollars of gas into car although the gauge indicated the vehicle was near empty. This continues to be a problem over and over again and just started out of the blue. One day it was working fine, then, approx 1 month after i had the car, i noticed i was having problems with gas pump clicking off. *tr
