The vehicle experience rod knock with 57,000 and vehicle has erratic transmission shifting. The dealer explained they would cover 60 percent but my cost is still 4,000.00 for which the vehicle is only worth 6,000 on trade. Plus $600 to fix transmission problem. Requested picture from dealer but only sent pictures of metal shavings in oil pan and valve cover.

The car will not start despite the battery being charged and no apparent issues with the vehicle which left me stranded. The vehicle only has 40,000 miles on it. This appears to be a range switch issue. I do have a drivetrain warranty; this should be covered; however, this should not be happening with as many complaints that have been reported. This should be a recall!

Took it to the mechanic and the car looks fine everything was diagnosed…

My hyundai makes a clunking noise from the front end. It happens whenever i shift from park to drive/reverse, drive to reverse, and vice versa, and also if i speed up, or slow down quickly. I tried getting the vehicle checked out at a dealer, and i was told "i don't know why, but many of the elantra's come from factory making that noise, and we don't know why. Obviously, if it was a safety issue, then hyundai would…

Engine runs rough at idle .. Buy 89 octane gas in the winter time. Drive shaft is defective.....buy a new bearing and drive shaft from the dealer and make certain the new one is not defective. I replaced the bearing only and it appears to be fine, for now. .......tires wear out extremely fast....buy new shocks and struts earlier than you had to on the more expensive foreign cars. *tr

On march 07, 2014, my hyundai elantra was hit on the passenger side by a large jeep. We took our 17 year old grandson to the hospital to be checked out because of a headache but other than that there were no injuries. My vehicle was taken to a repair shop and now to a hyundai dealership. My concern is; there have been two (2) front axles put in my car and neither worked. The dealership said they were defective. They…
