When turning car will stall middle of intersection, this has happened twice. This is unsafe and dealership will not help me and i am turned away. I'm starting to worry about the safety of my car. I maintain it up to manufacturer standards. Transmission is clunky and not working well.…

The check oil light never came on, it's a malfunction. The was no oil in the car, i have regular oil changes, but the engine ceased due to lack of oil and never any warning. Never "check oil light" or "oil low" nothing. When aaa towed they told me oil was leaking that when we checked. The engine is gone and costing me $2,600 to replace on a 2017 ugh. The car stopped in the middle of the street at 3am in the morning.…

My car will completely shut off when traveling at a slow speed. I could be cruising to a red light and the car will completely shut off. Traffic on the interstate and i need to slow down...you can bet my car will shut off. Going up a hill...my car will completely shut off. I was almost in an accident two days ago; as i slowed down to travel up a small hill to the parking garage, my car shuts off and the car behind…

I've had my rear right door on child lock for a while now, i use that door every day, but the door is not opening all of a sudden, i tried pulling the handle from outside and giving a gentle push from inside at the same time and nothing. I've tried locking and unlocking the door numerous times and still nothing. The window and the lock work, so i'm guessing it's something with the child lock that it's stuck or…

I leased my 2017 hyundai elantra brand new. The thermostat had to be replaced after 3 days and the car had heat for the next 3k miles. Since then the car has had poor heat and eventually just stopped producing any heat. A hyundai rep was able to recreate the problem and updated the computer in my car. Hyundai has said my car heat has been tested and is now operational. However, my car still has no heat to defrost…

I recently purchased a 2017 hyundai elantra from non-hyundai dealer. At the time of the sale, a single key was provided versus a key fob. After driving the vehicle for a short time, the alarm went off on the vehicle which was unknown to me that the vehicle had an alarm. It happened again within a couple of weeks and then i looked into the issue only to learn that the vehicle was sold new with a fob key. I went to a…

Suspension · Unknown Or Other
At speeds under 40-45mph, when turning only right, over bumpy and uneven roads (railroad tracks, manhole covers, humps in the road, seams in concrete), there is a clunking/clicking noise from the front of the car with an accompanying feeling in steering/pedals. Suspension during these situations feels very loose/unsteady. Feels like control could be lost if car is not handling properly.

Engine light came on. Whole engine had to be replaced. Found out engines are dangerous and have exploded. Engines are on back order because of so many elantra needing a new engine. This should be investigated because no one is warning elantra owners about this until the cars break down. I am still without my car since june because engines are on back order until late august/early september.

The 2017 hyundai elantra all-weather floor mats have deep rubber grooves that run perpendicular to the driver's legs causing their shoe to be momentarily trapped in these deep rubber grooves. The extra motion necessary to release your shoes from these grooves can promote a safety hazard in an emergency situation. Are these floor mats being recalled?

My 2017 hyundai elantra se does not have a service light. Drove about 8k miles and no service light came on so i took it to the dealer to service and asked why the light did not come up? Upon completion they confirmed this car is basic and does not come with a service light. This is ridiculous. They give an msrp of over 21k and fail to put a very important feature. This is not acceptable

I have had my elantra for a little over a year now and it has around 13,000 miles on it. Almost three weeks ago my electric power steering light came on, so i took it to the dealership as soon as it came on. To make a long story short, they tested my car, replaced the wiring harnesss and still couldn't figure out the problem. I got a call on tuesday of this week and was told that a mouse had chewed through all the…

We just purchased an elantra limited. It was discovered that the elantra can be turned off while not in park without any kind of warning/buzzer going off to remind the driver that a very hazardous situation is in play. Most drivers grab the key when leaving the car and cannot physically remove the key when the car out of "park". This prevents the car from rolling down a hill as the driver walks away. The key-less…
