2014 Hyundai Elantra complaints

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, there was an abnormal ticking sound coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that an engine replacement was needed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 129,000.

Rob bearing failure, caused my vehicle to lose power and stall while driving highway speeds almost causing a collision.

Car engages into drive with a jolt. Sometimes at traffic lights, it just doesn't move forward when brakes are let go & then I have to raise the RPM to 3K+ to bring it back to motion, again with a big jolt. While driving on the freeway or streets, if you slow down, the car might choose not to engage back in up gears until you rev up the RPMs, and again with a big jolt. Took it to a mechanic shop to find out, as per Hyundai Repair Guidelines, if the car is put to drive, brakes on & the input speed in the scan tool shows non-zero value, which means its an internal Tranny failure and Tranny needs replaced. Such a premature failure of transmission. The car only has 130K miles on it & Tranny fluid has been always replaced as per the manufacturer-recommended intervals. And the way the tranny acts when fails on the road, sudden die down & re-engaging with a big jolt, I consider its a safety hazard & should have been recalled by Manufacturer already.

Car is equipped with NU 2.0 Engine. In September 2019, the Elantra began making a ticking or knocking noise at start up and driving. Unsure what this was, we took it to the dealership where we bought it 2 years prior as it was due for its oil change. There was no check engine light when we discovered this problem. When the tech drained the oil, he claimed there was metal shavings in the oil (he saved them in a bottle for us) and this was due to the knocking engine (piston slap) we had described to the tech. The car had just hit the 80,000 mile mark so this was baffling to us. We had since parked it as we did not have the money to repair the engine. This is a HUGE safety issue. There's a lawsuit against Hyundai for the 1.8 NU Elantra Engines but not the 2.0? It's experiencing the same exact issue but Hyundai will NOT acknowledge their 2.0 NU engines. This is wildly dangerous to the public who got the green light to keep driving their 2.0 engines. We had it towed to Maryland from Washington State as we had moved. It's currently at 1706 Massey Blvd, Hagerstown, MD 21740. It has been there since December of 2019. The engine had been replaced but the dealership wants over $3,000 in repairs. They will not release the car to us until we pay it. The only warning was the noise itself. No lamps, lights or any indication of any fault.

I financed my 2014 Elantra a few months ago in September and this engine is failing

The car randomly caught fire while driving on the highway.

I was involved in an accident where I was rear ended at a high rate of speed and pushed into the vehicle in front of me. I was thrown forward, hitting my head/left eye on something inside the vehicle. I received significant facial injuries and neck pain. My car was totaled from the impact but not a single airbag deployed. I cannot believe this is how airbags are intended to function, why have them if they are not going to deploy in a situation like this!

Motor failed while driving on the highway at cruising speed and car did not lose electrical power. This Elantra has been properly maintenanced as per manufacturer specifications no check engine or other dash lights present prior to the failure.

Passing a car on the highway when the Elantra died. Pulled over on the side of the road and all service lights came on. Fire started coming up from the hood. Barely got out of the car before the entire car was engulfed in flames.

The engine block blew, a few days after getting an oil change and seeing a mechanic about the ticking sound in the engine. 53k miles on it. I was told by the dealerships service/mechanic shop as well as other mechanics that there was a hole in the engine. The car had starting issues along with a ticking or clapping sound in the engine, mechanics couldn't figure it out, the last time it ran I turned the engine off to get gas and started it again going uphill, it didn't go past 20mph uphill before I heard the engine shutoff, I pulled over, tried to start it and the engine smoked and popped.

My front passenger car door handle completely broke without doing anything!

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Yes. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Some, but we were not on a highway. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Reproduced as heard before yes, 7 plus times. No independent service or dependent. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Not yet as in the process of trying via our Hyundai Crestmont Service. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning of lights or lamps. The rest described briefly below. Our vehicle is a Hyundai; Vin # [XXX], year 2014, purchased 3/22/15, mileage 16,000 or so On April 1, 2021, snow of 5-7 inches and a cold snap of 41 degrees happened in Cleveland Ohio where we were uncostumarily were out and about, we audibly witnessed the noise under the hood and felt the right side brakes failure. I have experienced these noises at least 7 previous times. And the noises seem to come from the drivers side to midland to lower area of car. We carry an Extended Power Train Warranty, that by definition implies it kicks in when the Factory Power Train has expired. Good until 2024 or so? Willing to follow the advice on what is needed. It can only be driven on the back roads at slower pace with less public endangering. Please bear in mind

While driving the car stalls and you have no steering power or brakes to stop. I was able to coast to get out of the way of oncoming traffic. Restart car again and as I was braking for a stop light the car stopped again. To keep from rear ending another vehicle I had to switch lane and pull off of road. No warning lights came on the car just stopped. The car would start again as if everything is okay, but stall as you slow or come to a stop at a stop light. There is a total of 13 complaints on "Car Complaints.com" for this same issue. Below are some of the complaints on this website: "Driving the car in town at slow speeds, usually around 15-25 miles an hour, with rpms at about 1250. First noticed an issue with extremely jerky driving, but added gas and the problem went away, and I thought it was a one time thing. About a week later, it happened again. Then, a few days later, the car shut off as I was driving through a parking lot. I set up an appointment with the dealership for a week later. In that week, the car died while driving through town twice, and also as I was driving into work once. It is the smoothest shutoff I have ever experienced, only the engine dies, and it starts right up once I stop and put it in park. I don't even notice the engine turn off until I try to press the gas." "The car died 4 times, the engine completely shut off. It would throttle by itself at lights or in the drive thru.I could not drive up until no one was in front of me because the car would

THE CAR HAD A RATTLE OR CLICK IN THE FRONT END FOR YEARS BUT MECHANICS HAD CLEARED THAT NO CONCERN. AT 120000 MILES ON TRIP OUT OF TOWN AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR LOCKED UP AND WOULDN'T DRIVE ANYMORE ON A BUSY INTERSTATE!! WE HAD IT TOWED TO MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT ENGINE LOCKED UP AND WOULD NO LONGER START! CAR IS STILL OUT OF TOWN! AND NOW WE HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHETHER REPLACE IT OR SELL IT, SEVERAL HOURS AWAY FROM OUR HOME! THERE IS A CIVIL LAWYER THAT CONTACTED ME REGARDING A LAW SUIT FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN OCCURRING. HOWEVER, OUR CAR DOESN'T QUALIFY BECAUSE IT'S OVER 100,000 MILES!!:/ PLEASE CONSIDER THIS ISSUE FOR RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE THAT I AM FINDING ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND IT'S A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!!!

JUST OVER 100,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD THE REPAIRS COMPLETED, THEN THE ENGINE BLEW COMPLETELY.

MY 2014 HYUNDIA ELANTRA SPORT 2.0L ENGINE THREW A ROD WITH ONLY 101300 MILES. THE CAR HAD A LOT OF VALUE BECAUSE IT WAS RUNNING GREAT AND WAS IN BETTER THAN GOOD CONDITION UNTIL NOW. TO REPLACE THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO COST BETWEEN $8K TO $10K. READING ON THE INTERNET HYUNDIA 2.0L ENGINES ARE EXPERIENCING A LOT OF ENGINE FAILURES LIKE THIS. THE MECHANIC SHOP WHERE I TOOK IT CALLED TWO HYUNDI-KIA DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF MY ELANTRA ENGINE WAS UNDER HYUNDIA RECALL, BOTH SAID IT WASN'T. NOW I AM FORCED TO LOOK FOR A NEW CAR AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO RECOUP SOME LOSS FROM MY ELTANTRA. IN THE FUTURE I WILL NEVER CONSIDER ANOTHER HYUNDIA-KIA CAR BECAUSE OF ENGINE ISSUES.

I BOUGHTBMY CAR AND ANOIT 1 MONTH AFTER IT STARTED HAVING A TICKING NOISE. ALSO THE CAR WILL KINDA STALL WHEN I'M GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE I CAN'T GET OVER 45 MPH. ALSO THE SYMBOL WITH THE (!) KEEP COMING ON AND THEN BLINKING REALLY FAST. AND THE FRONT END KINDA SHAKES WHEN IT DOES THAT

MY 2014 HYUNDAI IS A GREAT CAR, EXCEPT LATELY, I'VE EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE THAT APPARENTLY IS ALL TOO COMMON WITH HYUNDAI'S. THE GAS GAUGE IS NOT FUNCTIONING AND I WAS TOLD THAT TO REPAIR IS ABOUT 800 - 1000 TO REPAIR. I'M A COLLEGE STUDENT AND WORK PART TIME THIS REPAIR IS TOO EXPENSIVE, THIS IS A PART THAT SHOULD NEVER GO BAD AND ALWAYS BE UNDER WARRANTY, IT SPEAKS TO THE QUALITY OF THE PARTS OF THIS VEHICLE. AT THIS TIME I'VE BEEN STUCK A FEW TIMES WITHOUT GAS, WHEN I PUT IN THE GAS EVERY 2 DAYS I HAVE TO PUT MORE IN TO MAKE SURE I DON'T GET STRANDED AGAIN. SAVING FOR THIS PART HAS BEEN HARD FOR US TO DO. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS BEING A REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURER. IT IS DANGEROUS.

AFTER DRIVING FOR AN HOUR OR SO THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRIP. NO WARNING, JUST A QUICK ENGINE SHUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH FORCES ME TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL TO CRANK IT BACK UP. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS OCCURS, AND IT'S A SEVERE SAFETY PROBLEM.

I OWN A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA LIMITED. IT HANDLES NORMALLY WHEN IN TOWN DRIVING BUT WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VEERS SLIGHTLY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND YOU CANNOT KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT IN CENTER. IT IS HARD TO MANEUVER AS THE STEERING APPEARS TO STICK IN EITHER POSITION AS YOU FIGHT TO KEEP IT IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD. IT STICKS MORE TO THE LEFT THAN TO THE RIGHT. I AM AMAZED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THESE CARS BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY HYUNDAI'S HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I CANNOT PUT A SPECIFIC DATE ON THE INCIDENT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOES THIS ALL THE TIME WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY SO I JUST PICKED THE DATE THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A DEALER.

I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS OIL CHANGES AND I WAS DRIVING HOME ONE NIGHT. THE CAR LEFT SIDE FRONT TIRE STARTED SCREECHING AND THE CAR KEPT JERKING. THEN THERE WAS A LOUD KNOCKING COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I DROVE IT THE NEXT DAY AND WAS ON MY WAY HOME AND AS SOON AS I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, THE CAR STALLED AND WILL NOT CRANK UP AT ALL.

TROUBLES WITH THE POWER/BATTERY. TROUBLES STARTED AROUND 80K MILES. AT FIRST THE BATTERY WAS A SUSPICION. A NEW BATTERY WAS BOUGHT AND THEN WE WERE TOLD A SPECIFIC BATTERY WAS NEEDED WHICH WE OBTAINED AND PUT INTO THE CAR. I AM UNSURE IF THE BATTERY IS THE ISSUE (AT THIS POINT I DON'T THINK IT IS). RECENTLY, THE CAR AT ABOUT 86K MILES, HAS HAD TIMES WHERE IT DOES NOT START. FOR EXAMPLE, TIMES WHERE WE GO TO THE STORE OR EVEN LEFT OVERNIGHT, THE CAR WILL NOT TURN ON. NO SIGN OF LIFE AT ALL. WE WAIT A WHILE THEN TRY IT AGAIN. AFTER A WHILE, THE CAR EVENTUALLY TURNS ON BUT THERE IS NO TELLING HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE. THERE HAVE BEEN OCCASIONS WHERE WE ARE DRIVING AND THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS WILL ALL TURN ON AT ONCE THEN TURN OFF. OTHER TIMES WE WILL BE DRIVING AND THE RADIO/CLOCK SCREEN WILL RANDOMLY TURN OFF AND ON AS IF THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. AT THIS POINT WE ARE WORRIED WE WILL BE STRANDED IF WE TAKE THIS CAR OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY. THE CAR HAS NOT TURNED ON WHILE AT HOME, VISITING OUT IN THE COMMUNITY, AND AT WORK. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND RADIO FACE ACTS UP WHILE DRIVING. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS EVER CAME ON.

PURCHASED A USED 2014 1.8L ELANTRA PRIVATE PARTY AND FOUND PISTON SLAP IN COLD START. LOOKING ONLINE IT APPEARS TO BE A PERVASIVE ISSUE AND HYUNDAI IS CARING FOR CANADIAN BUT NOT AMERICAN OWNERS. RECALL OF FAULTY MOTORS NEEDED. HYUNDAI IS FALSLY CLAIMING 10YEAR 100,000 MILE WARRANTY THAT IS NOT SUPPORTED EITHER

2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA - WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT LOW SPEED (UNDER 30), AND AFTER WARMING UP IT SHUTS OFF WITH NO NOISE, NO WARNING IT JUST SHUTS OFF. THERE WAS ONE KNOCKING IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT JUST BEFORE IT SHUT OFF. BUT FOR BOTH MY DAUGHTER AND MYSELF IT SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING. THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE OR WARNING LIGHTS ON, IT IS NOT THROWING A CODE. THE DEALER HAS SAID THERE IS SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE AND THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED - IN A 2014 WITH 145K, SINGLE OWNER. IN READING ONLINE, THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OPEN - BROWN V HYUNDAI WHERE MULTIPLE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AND DEALER RESOLUTION BUT THERE IS A KNOW PISTON DEFECT THAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. NO TSB ISSUED IN US BUT THEY DID IN CANADA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY 2014 ELANTRA HAS THE EXACT SAME ROD BEARING PROBLEM NOTED IN THE RECENT HYUNDAI RECALL THAT AFFECTS THE SONATA, SANTE FE AND VOLOSCTER. YET IT IS NOT IDENTIFIED. I HAVE A FRIEND WITH A 2012 ELANTRA THAT WAS ALSO AFFECTED AND SHE SAID HERS IS COVERED.

THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A TICKING NOISE AS EARLY AS 40K MILES. IT RAN OK AND I WAS LEAD TO BELIEVE THIS WAS "NORMAL" FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE AS REQUIRED UNTIL 88K WHILE NOTICING MORE AND MORE OIL WAS BEING CONSUMED. AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND TURNING FROM A HIGHWAY ON TO A COUNTY ROAD, THE AUTOMATIC VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHIFT ERRATICALLY AND COULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 40MPH AND THEN THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHILE THIS OCCURRED. THE ENGINE STARTED, BUT DRIVING BUT THE GEARS WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL. IN THE DEALERSHIP, THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A NEW ENGINE. I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS INITIALLY NOTHING COULD BE DONE UNDER WARRANTEE WITH THE MILEAGE (WHILE SUGGESTING I MUST HAVE WENT WAY TOO LONG BETWEEN OIL CHANGES.....NOT EVEN CLOSE TO CORRECT). THE DEALERSHIP MADE AN APPEAL TO HYUNDAI AND OFFERED TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE COST OF A NEW ENGINE. SO I AM SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY PAYING ONLY $4200. THE NEW ENGINE DOES NOT HAVE A TICKING SOUND AND I HIGHLY SUSPECT THAT WAS THE START OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE. I'M SEEING THE "TICKING" SOUND IN MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS AND CAN'T BELIEVE A RECALL STILL HASN'T BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS. I DON'T TRUST THIS CAR OR HYUNDAI TO DO THE RIGHT THING ON THEIR OWN.

I GOT A TUNE UP ON MY CAR THEN DISCOVERED THAT THE MISFIRE IN MY ENGINE COILS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. SOME TIMES WHEN I CRANK MY CAR THE ENGINE WILL TRY TO START BUT MAKES A CONSTANT SPUTTER AND THEN I CUT IT OFF I HAVE TO LET IT SIT FOR AN HOUR AND THEN TRY TO CRANK IT AGAIN TO SEEE IF IT WILL START. MY BATTERY, STARTER, AND ALTERNATOR ARE GOOD.

ENGINE RUNNING VERY POOR ALWAYS MAINTENANCED VERY LOUD TICKING LOUD NOISE THAT FROM 30 000 MILES WAS TOLD FROM DEALER THAT WAS NORMAL. NOW I'M BEING TOLD ITS ENGINE FAILURE THATS MANUFACTURED ISSUE. WAS CITY DRIVING WHEN ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND TOTALLY LOSE OF CONTROL AND ACCELERATION.

I PURCHASED MY HYUNDAI ELANTRA IN 2018 FROM A DEALER IN GILBERT. THE VEHICLE WAS PRE-OWNED BUT RECORDS DO NOT INDICATE ANY ACCIDENTS. RECENTLY I HAVE STARTED TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEING ILLUMINATED. IT STARTED OUT AS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE BUT NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. I LEARNED THE ILLUMINATED AIRBAG LIGHT MEANS MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH. I'VE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH AIRBAGS IN ANY VEHICLE I'VE OWNED. SOME HAVING OVER 300,000 MILES. HYUNDAI HAS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE AIRBAG SYSTEM FAILING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY HYUNDAI AMERICA. I'VE TRIED CONTACTING THEM FOR SUPPORT THRU EMAIL BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE.

THE SUNGLASS HOLDER ON THE CEILING REPEATEDLY BREAKS AND HANGS DOWN BLOCKING THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. LESS THAN A YEAR OR 2 AFTER I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW, THE CLASP WHICH HOLDS THE SUNGLASS HOLDER UP BROKE. I'VE HAD IT REPLACED 2 OR 3 TIMES NOW AND IT NEVER LASTS MORE THAN 6 MONTHS OR A YEAR BEFORE IT STARTS FALLING AGAIN. IT STARTS JUST FALLING WHEN I HIT A BUMP AND THEN WON'T STAY UP AT ALL. NOW THAT MY CAR IS NO LONGER COVERED BY WARRANTY, HYUNDAI IS TELLING ME IT'LL COST $420 TO FIX SO WE'VE KEPT IT DUCT TAPED UP SO THAT WE CAN SEE OUT THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. THIS SOMETIMES WORKS IN THE WINTER, BUT IN THE FLORIDA HEAT, EVEN THE STRONGEST GORILLA TAPE MELTS AND DOESN'T STAY UP FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES AT A TIME.

AT 8AM COMING BACK FROM KINSTONE NC DRIVING ON HEY 70 AT 60MPH SECOND LANE MY 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SUDDENLY BRAKED ON ME. CAR STARTED SLIDING FROM ONE SIDE TO ANOTHER SPIN AROUND TWICE BEFORE WENT DOWN HILL.

PURCHASED THIS CAR USED AND WITHIN TWO YEARS AT 80K THE ENGINE IS DONE. ALWAYS TROUBLES EVEN BEFORE ...OIL AND CONNECTIVITY ISSUES BEFOREHAND, SHOP HAD 3X, PAID MY 100 DEDUCTIBLE 3X BECAUSE I HAD PURCHASED 3K WARRANTY ADDITIONALLY AT THE TIME OF SALE. SO AS IT STANDS NOW, I HAVE NO CAR AND OWE 8K ON A LOAN. HYUNDAI WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALLED ENGINE THAT WAS SO CALLED REPAIRED, I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, THEY STATE. MY WARRANTY COMPANY SAYS ONLY PAYING FOR VALUE OF CAR AND THEN YOUR WARRANTY WITH US IS VOID. THE AMOUNT THEY ALLOW IS ONLY FOR A USED ENGINE, WHY WOULD I BUY ANOTHER USED ENGINE WITH THE SAME ISSUES WITH NO WARRANTY COVERAGE, NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THE SHOP LOOKED FOR A MONTH AND TO NO AVAIL WAS THERE A USED MOTOR IN THE USA...HUMMMM, I WONDER WHY? SO TO BUY A NEW ONE, YOU GO OVERSEAS AND THAT WOULD COST ME 3K MORE ON TOP OF THE WARRENTY PAY OUT AND 6 WEEKS OUT LEAD TIME. I CANT BELIEVE WITH ALL THE ISSUES PEOPLE HAVE AND THE MORE AND MORE RECALLS THEY ARE DOING FOR ENGINES AND FIRERS THEY ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THESE CARS AS WELL. I AM NOW OUT 8K ON MY LOAN AND NO CAR. I WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE OR HAVE A GOOD THING TO SAY ABOUT HYUNDAI OR KIA...EVER !!! THIS IS COST ME SO MY TIME AND MONEY AND AGGRAVATION I FEEL LIKE GOING TO MY LOCAL NEWS WITH MY STRORY, THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG!

ENGINE THROUGH A CYLINDER, AND ROD THROUGH THE BLOCK. COMPLETELY BLOW, AND NEEDING A FULL REPLACEMENT. VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND ENGINES AS IT HAS COME TO BE KNOW.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW. THE ENGINE HAS STALLED WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS CAR. THIS STARTED THE FIRST YEAR OR SO THAT I HAD IT. HYUNDAI HAS CHECKED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. ONCE I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE RESET. I HAVE HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE OVER THE LIFE OF THE CAR. THERE ARE NOW JUST OVER 110,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I RECENTLY WAS DRIVING ON A SECONDARY ROAD A FEW BLOCKS FROM HOME. THE CAR MADE A SCREECHING SOUND, ALMOST STALLED, AND THEN THERE WAS AN ENGINE TICKING NOISE. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC THAT I TRUST. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED NEW ENGINE BECAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE THERE WAS LOOSE METAL IN THE ENGINE. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN HYUNDAI 2.0L ENGINES. THIS CAR HAS MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS ALWAYS HAD THE OIL CHANGED BEFORE THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED MILEAGE. I THINK THIS ENGINE SHOULD STILL BE COVERED AS IF IT IS UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT NOT ENOUGH OF THE ELANTRA GT (I THINK MOST PEOPLE BUY THE COUPE WHICH HAS A DIFFERENT ENGINE) HAVE BEEN SOLD TO CREATE A RECALL. IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT MANY OF THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN PURCHASED HAVE BEEN TRADED IN. OVER THE PAST 3 TO 4 YEARS, I HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS LETTERS AND CARDS FROM HYUNDAI. THEY SPECIFICALLY SAID THAT THEY NEEDED ME TO TRADE IN MY ELANTRA GT AND THEY WOULD OFFER ME TOP DOLLAR ON A TRADE IN OR TRADE UP. I NOW THINK THEY

MY CAR IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD AND IT EATS OIL . MY DAUGHTER IN BETWEENNOIL CHANGES HAD TO PUT 2 QUARTS IN THE CAR. WE USE SYNTHETIC OIL . THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SOME TIME NOW TILL I TOLD MY FAMILY AND THEY MENTIONED HYUNDAI HAD A RECALL. I DONT SEE ONE FOR MY CAR BUT THERE OBVIOUSLY IS AN ISSUE.

MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL VIRTUALLY LOCK, ONLY ALLOWING ME TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL 2 INCHES, WITH INCREASING DIFFICULTY AFTER THAT RANGE IN EITHER DIRECTION. MAKING SHARPER TURNS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT HAVING TO HARSHLY TUG THE WHEEL ONLY EFFECTIVELY MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL ANOTHER 1-2INCHES WITH EACH TUG. THIS GOES AWAY WHEN TURNING OFF AND ON THE VEHICLE, AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BOTH COME ON AS SOON AS IT HAPPENS SEEMINGLY OUT OF NOWHERE.

WHEN BEING DRIVEN AND SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP LIGHT, CAR DECELERATES AND STALLS, GOES TO 0 MPH. BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTION. LEFT SIGNAL LIGHT MALFUNCTIONS.

I WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT MY WORK AND ALMOST AT A COMPLETE STOP WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED AND ACCELERATED, CAUSING MY CAR TO JUMP THE CURB AND HIT A LIGHT POLE. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE WHOLE TIME AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP. IT HAPPENED SO FAST. ONE MINUTE I WAS PARKING AND THE NEXT SECOND I HIT THE POLE. I SUSTAIN SEVERAL INJURIES AND AM WAITING TO HEAR ABOUT MY CAR.

FRONT AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING BAD. AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. DEALER STATES NOT PART OF WARRANTY. OTHER HYUNDAIS WITH SAME PROBLEM HAVE WARRANTIES THAT HAVE BEEN EXTENDED. THIS NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED ALSO
