Engine
We just bought the car two months ago from a used car dealership. My son was driving when all of a sudden all of the dash lights flashed on the car and the car stopped in the middle of the road. We had it towed to a car dealership nearby and they looked at the engine and said that the engine locked. Also, when you open up the hood of the car there's also oil on the inside of the hood of the car.

Seeking to accelerate as i merged onto a highway, vehicle rpm exceeded 6,000 without acceleration. Depressed accelerator, tried again and the engine backfired. Result: blown head gasket on vehicle with only 62,000 km. I changed the oil every 8,500 km and hyundai is debating the warranty.

Its a loud crackling ticking noise that comes from my 2015 hyundai elantras engine. When i drive the the ticking turns into knocking and the car shuts off completely in motion. I have looked online to see what this issue could be. I've read countless statements about this issue. Hyundai needs to step up to the plate and acknowledge this is a urgent manufacturing issue that needs to fixed immediately.

I bought my 2015 hyundai elantra from the carmax in oak lawn illinois in september of 2018 and since then i've experienced a few problems with the vehicle and carmax is only telling me that it was a plastic bag on the exhaust pipe and that it will burn off on its own. I took the car into them on april 17, 2019 and today is may 14, 2019 and i'm almost positive that it doesn't take a whole month for a bag to burn off…

Engine began knocking at very low mileage. Knock was apparent while stationary, driving, accelerating. Engine replaced under warranty, no questions asked. If engine had failed during operation it would have created a dangerous driving situation.

Took vehicle to mechanic - advised pistons/engine are causing sound to contact hyundai dealer as there has been many issues with the cars engines. Can drive the car at this time, waiting on dealer to respond and hope engine doesn't blow up on me. Car only has 55,000 miles.

My engine began making a clicking noise in january 2019. I didn't think much of it. Then the check engine light, the oil pressure light and the battery light all would start flashing when i was driving and my engine would die. I took it to my car dealership, who said they couldn't tell me what was wrong with it, but that it was covered under my warranty so they are replacing it. I have looked online and noticed many…

2015 hyundai elantra with 43,000 miles on it. The car vibrates and shakes while in the drive or reverse when stopped with the driver's foot on the brake. The vibration and shaking vary in intensity. I brought the car to the dealer and they said the throttle body needed to be cleaned due to rough idle. I had the service performed and it has not solved the problem. This is an issue that hyundia needs to address.

One morning i started my car like any normal day and there was a ticking sound. It was cold out that morning so i didn't think much of it but i took it to get its oil changed the next day and thats they told me that it was something internal and i should take it to a dealer. I took it to a dealer and they told me that there was an engine knock and that the only way to fix it was to basically get a new engine.
