2014 Hyundai Elantra complaints

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE ENGINE WOULD RANDOMLY SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND 1 TIME WHILE STOPPING. WHEN SITTING IN PARK, THE OIL LIGHT STATS TO FLASH. AFTER TAKING IT INTO A DEALER, THEY INFORMED ME THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS ONLY 112,000 MILES ON A 2014 CAR. IT HAS HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND KEPT IN GOOD CONDITION. THIS LOOKS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE HYUNDAI PUTS IN THEIR VEHICLES. THE SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY PEOPLE.

FOR ABOUT A MONTH MY CAR WOULDN'T START EXCEPT AFTER A FEW TRIES IT THEN STARTED. I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO THE WEATHER, BUT I LATER LEARNED IT WASNT. I HAD SPARK PLUGS CHANGED LINES FLUSHED AND BATTERY CHECKED AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. IT WON'T START AT ALL.

FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS NOW MY CAR RANDOMLY WON'T START. AFTER A FEW TRIES IT FINALLY DOES. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE JUST ON COLDER DAYS BUT IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY. I CHANGED THE BATTERY AS PER THE SUGGESTION OF THE DEALER AND IT STILL RANDOMLY WON'T START.

AFTER BEING PARKED OVERNIGHT, SPORADICALLY THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK UPON PRESSING THE BRAKE AND STARTING THE CAR. THE LITTLE BUTTON ON THE SHIFTER THAT YOU PUSH IN ORDER TO MOVE OUT OF PARK IS LOCKED AND WHEN PRESSED, EMITS A SOUND COMING FROM THE IGNITION WHERE YOU PUT THE KEY IN. YOU CAN HEAR IT CLICK FROM THE STEERING COLUMN EACH TIME YOU PRESS THE RELEASE BUTTON ON THE SHIFTER. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. THEN THE CAR SHIFTS OUT OF PARK NORMALLY. I CANNOT GET THE CAR TO REPLICATE THIS FOR THE MECHANIC, AS IT ONLY HAPPENS EVERY FEW DAYS.

I HAVE A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA, I'M HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY LEFT SIGNAL. I STOPPED @ A RED LIGHT TURNED MY LEFT SIGNAL ON. I NOTICE MY LEFT SIGNAL WAS FLASHING FAST. WHEN IT WENT OF IT CAUSE MY HEAD LIGHTS & MY LIGHTS IN THE INSIDE TO BLINK OFF & ON. WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECK MY LIGHTS AND NOTICE THE LEFT SIGNAL BULB IN THE FRONT WAS BURNED. I WENT TO A AUTO PLACE AND REPLACED A NEW BULB. IT LAST FOR @ LEAST 4 MONTHS & IT WENT AGAIN ACTING UP. I CHANGE DA BULB AGAIN AFTER 4 MONTHS IT STARTS AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP THE BULB WAS CHANGE THEN. I NOTICE AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS IT STARTS ACTING UP. I CAN'T KEEP BRINGING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP OR TO A AUTO PLACE TO REPLACE THE BULB. BECAUSE IT COST ME I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. BECAUSE EVERYTIME I USE MY LEFT SIGNAL MY HEADLIGHTS BLINKS OFF & ON OUTSIDE & INSIDE OF MY CAR. I'M AFRAID I WILL BE DRIVING & WHEN I'LL USE THAT LEFT SIGNAL & NOTHING WILL COME BACK ON. THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OR BACK WANT SEE ME OR NO WHAT I'M DOING. THAT'S A BIG HAZARD TO MY LIFE & OTHERS ON THE ROAD ALSO. MY NAME IS [XXX], WHEN YOU WILL PULL IT UP UNDER THE VIN# IT'S UNDER MY MOTHER NAME [XXX] I [XXX] AM THE DRIVER OF THE CAR. IF NO ANSWER PLEASE LEAVE YOUR NAME & A NUMBER DO I CAN CONTACT U BACK. I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY COMPLAINT ON WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY CAR. HAVE A GREAT DAY & BE BLESS.

DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT APPROX 70 MPH. CARE SHUTS OFF AND GOES DARK. MANAGED TO PULL CAR OVER TO SHOULDER. GOT OUT OF CAR AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS ON FIRE. WAS NOT HURT BUT CAR AND EVERYTHING IN CAR BURNT AND WAS TOTAL LOSS. FOUND OUT AFTER THAT PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED ABOUT HYUNDAI FIRE ISSUE'S.

TAKATA RECALL ON 9/23/2018, ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER A RAINSTORM (CAR WAS GARAGED DURING STORM) MY CAR WAS IN MOTION AT 40 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE ON A CURVE OF A SOUTHBOUND INTERSTATE EXIT I275. THE CAR SUDDENLY WENT SIDEWAYS, AND BEGAN FISHTAILING. I TRIED TO PUMP THE BREAKS BUT THEY WERE NOT WORKING. THE VEHICLE THEN SMASHED THE FRONT SIDE OF BUMPER INTO THE GUARD RAIL, AND PUSHED ME ACROSS TWO TRAFFIC LANES. THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE RIGHT LANE, FACING NORTH IN A SOUTHBOUND EXIT. I TRIED TO PUT IT IN REVERSE TO GET INTO THE SHOULDER, AND THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT FAILED THE ENGINE, OR WHY IT SHUT OFF. HYUNDAI CORPORATE WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OPENED A CASE, AND PERFORMED A FULL INSPECTION. ON 11/12/18 HYUNDAI CLAIMED "WE CANNOT AGREE THAT THE ACCIDENT INVOLVED A PRODUCT DEFECT AND ARE DECLINING ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE." A THIRD PARTY MECHANIC WAS THEN CONTACTED, AND FOUND CODE C1555 AND A FAILING VVTI CYLINOID. THERE IS NO RECALL. THERE IS NO WAY TO PROVE THIS CAR IS UNSAFE WITH THE ROUTES I HAVE TAKEN SO FAR. I WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS ANSWER. THE ENGINE OF THIS CAR SHUT OFF AND COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. IT IS ALSO TERRIFYING TO THINK ABOUT WHO WOULD TO BE BLAMED FOR SUCH A FATAL OR DANGEROUS ACCIDENT SINCE HYUNDAI "COULDN'T FIND ANY DEFECT." I ASKED FOR RESULTS OF THE SCAN AND THE CASE MANAGER, CHRISTINA REPLIED THAT I AM NOT AUTHORIZED TO SEE THEM, FOR "RESULTS ARE FOR PROPRIETARY USE ONLY." THIS COMP

WENT TO SHUT CAR OFF AND KEY IS STUCK IN IGNITION. I HAVE TO USE MY OTHER SWT OF KEYS TO LOCK DOORS FOR SAFETY...CAR NOT BEING STOLEN. NO ONE CAN FUGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO TAKE IT TO THIS PLACE AND THAT PLACE OR THE TIME. I WENT TO THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. IT SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD BE ON TGE MANUFACTURER TO MY IT RIGHT. REALLY MY CAR IS ONLY A 2014 I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED.

I HAVE MAINTENANCED THE VEHICLE REGULARLY AND KEPT IT IN GOOD CONDITION

ON DECEMBER 8, 2017 I PURCHASED A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA COUPE. ON AUGUST 3, 2018 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR STARTED MAKING RATTLING NOISES. I PULLED OVER AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. I CONTACTED THE HYUNDAI CORPORATION. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE THE CAR TO MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. THE HYUNDAI CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS NOT NORMAL THAT A THREE YEAR OLD HYUNDAI AUTOMOBILE ENGINE SHOULD DIE. THE HYUNDAI CONTACT STATED THAT MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP SHOULD PERFORM A PA. PA IS A PRIOR APPROVAL. THE PA WAS PERFORMED AND ALONG WITH THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS DIRECTOR OF SERVICE KEVIN ANDERSON SUPPORT, AND AGREEMENT OF ABNORMALITY, THE PA WAS SUBMITTED. THE PA CAME BACK AS DENIED STATING 'EXCESSIVE MILEAGE'. THE DIRECTOR OF SERVICE DISAGREED AND RESUBMITTED THE PA. THE CASE WAS ELEVATED TO A HYUNDAI CORPORATE CASE MANAGER BY THE NAME CAMERON. CAMERON REJECTED THE PA AS WELL BUT CHANGED THE REASONING TO 'MILEAGE OVER WARRANTY'. THE WHOLE REASON FOR THE PA IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I AT THIS POINT ON AUGUST 31, 2018 OVERNIGHTED A LETTER TO THE CEO OF HYUNDAI MR. KYUNG SOO LEE. TO DATE I HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE FROM THE HYUNDAI CORPORATION. IN SPEAKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DIRECTOR I WAS INFORMED THAT AT HIS DEALERSHIP ALONE THERE ARE 5/6 HYUNDAI ELANTRAS THAT HAVE LOST THEIR ENGINES. HE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THE HYUNDAI SONATA HAS AN OPEN RECALL ON THE ENGINE. HE STATED THAT THE ENGINES FOR BOTH THE SONATA AND

2014 ELANTRA GT MANUAL 6 SPEED, PURCHASED 8/6/18 WITH 31,636 MILES FROM A NON HYUNDAI DEALER IN MASSACHUSETTS. I LIVE IN UPSTATE NY. THE CAR CAME WITH A 90 DAY OR 3,750 MILE DEALER WARRANTY, AND IS STILL UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY UP TO 60,000 MILES. I'M THE 2ND OWNER. AT APPROX 34,500 MILES, ON 10/5/18, WHILE ACCELERATING UPHILL, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO MAKE A SHARP AND LOUD RAPPING AND SQUEALING NOISE AND LOST POWER. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A COUNTRY ROAD WITH NO WHERE TO STOP, BUT I MANAGED TO PULL OVER AFTER COASTING DOWNHILL FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE MILE. I CHECKED THE ENGINE OIL IMMEDIATELY AND THERE WAS NO OIL SHOWING ON THE DIPSTICK. I CALLED MY WIFE TO COME AND PICK ME UP AND ASKED HER TO BRING 3 QUARTS OF SAE 5-20 OIL AS INDICATED ON THE FILL CAP. IT TOOK 2 QUARTS OF ADDED OIL FOR ANY OIL TO SHOW ON THE DIPSTICK, INDICATING THAT THERE HAD BEEN SIGNIFICANT AND EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IN THE 2 MONTHS FROM MY DATE OF PURCHASE, AT WHICH TIME THE DIPSTICK INDICATED THAT THE OIL WAS AT THE FULL LEVEL. THE CAR HAD AN OIL CHANGE PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE PER THE SALESMAN AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON PRIOR TO THE ENGINE FAILURE, AND NON CAME ON AFTERWARD. THE CAR IS AT A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER BEING DIAGNOSED. THE HYUNDAI DEALER PROVIDED ME WITH A LOANER CAR "FOR THE DURATION", THAT THEY TOLD ME WAS INCLUDED AS PART OF THE FACTORY WARRANTY AND WOULD BE FREE OF CHARGE. I SUSPECT A CRANKSHAFT BEARING, CON ROD BEARING AND/OR WRIST PIN FAILURE,

MY VEHICLE THE RIGHT SIDE BREAK, BACK, AND TURNING SIGNAL LIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT EVERY TWO WEEKS AFTER I CHANGE THE LIGHT BULBS.

SUDDEN, HARD AND DANGEROUS DOWNSHIFT TO I THINK FIRST. YOU CAN BE GOING SLOW AND IT COULD HAPPEN BUT IT JUST HAPPENED TO ME AT 40 OR 50 MILES AN HOUR. YOU PUSH THE GAS A LITTLE AND NO ACCELERATION AND I MEAN NOTHING AND THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN . YOU PUSH SOME MORE AND STILL NOTHING HAPPENS. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SLAMS INTO I THINK FIRST. I ALMOST HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND A CAR BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE. I KNOW A BIT ABOUT CARS AND I CAN TELL YOU I'M SHOCKED IT'S ENGINEERED THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN. I SEE A FEW PEOPLE ONLINE HAVE HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'LL DO ANYTHING, I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON, IT WAS FLICKERING ON AND OFF THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR JUST STOPPED AND THE CHECK ENGINE, BATTERY, AND OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP THE TOLD ME IT WAS THE BATTERY, SO I REPLACED IT. 2 MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP, SO I REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, AND HAD THE OIL CHANGED. NOW IT'S BEEN 3 MONTHS AND I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I LOVE MY ELANTRA BUT THIS ISSUE IS CAUSING ME MORE MONEY AND TIME. NO CODES COME UP WHEN THEY HOOK IT UP FOR DIAGNOSTICS SO THIS HAS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH A FAULTY PART IN THE CAR.

I STARTED MY CAR WITH NO PROBLEM AND DROVE MAYBE 15 MIN FROM MY HOME. I WENT INTO THE STORE AND CAME BACK OUT AND THE CAR STRUGGLED TO START. AFTER THE SECOND ATTEMPT THE CAR STARTED ALTHOUGH IT DIDN'T SOUND RIGHT. AFTER DRIVING A MINUTE UP THE ROAD THE CAR SHUT COMPLETELY OFF AND WOULDN'T START. AFTER SEVERAL FAILED ATTEMPTS OF TRYING TO START MY CAR I HAD IT TOWED TO MY HOME. I HAD A MECHANIC COME TO CHECK IT OUT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL, WHICH IS A SIGN THAT THE ENGINE WAS FAILING. I THEN EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN KNOCKING FOR A FEW MONTHS AND HE INFORMED ME THAT HYUNDAI RECALLED A FEW MODELS FOR THE SAME REASON. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON MINE AND REALIZED THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND HYUNDAI HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLICKERED AND SPEED STARTED TO DECREASE TO AROUND 40 MPH. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AND HAD TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. AFTER I RESTARTED THE CAR I BEGAN TO DRIVE AGAIN AND THE LIGHT FLICKERED MORE WHILE DRIVING. THE WEATHER WAS SUNNY AND WARM. NO WET ROADS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW. EACH TIME HAS BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS STEERING STICKS AT CENTER AND IT HARD TO UNSTICK. ONCE YOU PULL HARD ENOUGH TO GET PAST THE STICKING IT TURNS EXTREMELY EASY MAKING ME WANDER ALL OVER THE ROAD.

DEC OF 2017 THE CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A TUNNEL. LUCKILY WE WEREN'T MOVING REALLY DUE TO TRAFFIC. THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP AND WAS FINE. JAN 2018 MY ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE A LOUD THUMPING SOUND, ESPECIALLY UPON COLD START UP. BROUGHT VECHILE IN FEB 2018 BC THE SOULS WAS STARTING TO HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. FIRST TRIP INTO HYUNDAI THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO CODES COMING UP AND IT T WAS BC OF MY OIL FILTER NOT BEING BE CORRECT SIZE. HOWEVER, I HAVE HAD MY OIL CHANGES DONE EVERY 3-5 THOUSAND MILES AND NEVER ONCE HAD ANY ISSUE, EVER. MIND YOU MY CAR JUST TURNED THREE. THEY CHANGED THE OIL FILTER EVEN THOUGH I LITERALLY HAD AN OIL CHANGE ABOUT TWO WEEKS EARLIER AND THE ISSUES STARTS IN DECEMBER. NOTHING CHANGED AND NOTHING WAS FIXED, THE SOUND WAS STILL THERE. BROUGHT IT BACK ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF LATER OVERNIGHT SO THEY COULD DO THE COLD STARTUP. HYUNDAI CALLED ME THAT MORNING AND SAID MY ENGINE WAS FAILING AND THAT I NEEDED A NEW ONE REPLACED. I WAITED THREE MONTHS FOR THE REPLACEMENT ENGINE BC IT WAS ON BACK ORDER NATIONWIDE. I RELIEVED THE CAR BACK MID MAY ON A SATURDAY. THAT FOLLOWING MONDAY THE CAR WAS DEAD. COULD NOT START IT. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO HYUNDAI, AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. HYUNDAI REPLACED THE BATTERY. ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WHILE IDLING AND IN GEAR. THE ENGINE WAS SKATING AND MY RPMS WERE GOING OVER 1 JUST SITTING. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND THEY AGAIN TOLD ME THERE WERE NO CODES AND THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO GET USED TO THE CAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR TIRES BLEW OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A SPARE TIRE. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF A DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER ONLINE REGARDING THE LACK OF A SPARE TIRE, BUT HAD NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER PER THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND STILL DID NOT RECEIVE ASSISTANCE. AAA WAS ABLE TO TOW THE VEHICLE AND ASSISTED WITH THE BLOWOUT FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR DIES. ANY SPEED WHETHER ON FREEWAY OR CITY STREETS. DASH LIGHTS COME ON, ENGINE DIES, PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND IT STARTS BACK UP FOR ABOUT 10 TO 15 MIN THEN DOES IT AGAIN. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. NO WARRANTY ON CAR CAUSE ITS AT 70,000 MILES, MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND DON'T HAVE MONEY TO DUMP INTO A 4 YR OLD CAR WITH 70,000 MILES. I SEE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF THESE CARS, YET NO RECALL. THERE HAS TO BE AN ISSUE RELATED TO ALL AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY HYUNDAI SINCE IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF AND KEY REMOVED FROM IGNITION AND DOOR IS OPEN THE RADIO AND CLOCK LIGHTS ALL WORK AS IF THE CAR IS ON WHEN ITS OFF

THERE IS A RECALL ON 2011-14 HYUNDAI SONATA'S AND SANTA FE'S, ELANTRA'S SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED WITH THIS RECALL. THE ENGINE FAILED ON OUR 2014 ELANTRA AS MY 16 YEAR OLD SON WAS TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET AN OIL CHANGE. HYUNDAI IS REPLACING THE ENGINE, AND EXTENDING THE WARRANTY. HOWEVER I WANT TO INSURE THAT ELANTRAS ARE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE RECALL.

IN JAN 2018 WHILE DRIVING MY CAR A NOTICE A KNOCKING NOISE. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ASK ABOUT THE NOISE THEY HAD TOLD ME THAT IT MAYBE MY OIL PUMP. NEVER HAD ANY STALLING PROBLEMS AS OTHERS HAD REPORTED BUT DID HAVE A FEW TIMES THAT IT SEEMED LIKE IT DID NOT WANT TO SHIFT UNTIL I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL. BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER SHIP(ROWE, AUBURN,ME) TO HAVE IT CHECKED AS IT WAS STILL UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. LEFT IT THERE ON FEB 5, 2018. THEY CALLED ME LATER THAT MORNING AND TOLD ME THAT MY ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. INTERNAL PROBLEM. NOT SURE WHAT THAT MEANS. SO I ASKED IF THIS WAS GOING TO BE COVERED 100% AS IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THEY SAID YES. SO THEY PUT ME IN A LOANER CAR. CHECKED BACK IN AT THE END OF THE MONTH AND WAS TOLD MY ENGINE WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER UNTIL POSSIBLE MAY 2018. SO HERE IT IS MAY 14, 2018 AND STILL HAVE NOT HEARD WHEN I'LL GET MY CAR BACK.

TICKING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE- FAILED LIFTERS AND METAL SHAVINGS INSIDE ENGINE FOUND IN OIL PAN

HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE STALLING AT LOW SPEEDS OR COMPLETE STOP. THIS WOULD HAPPEN ON CITY STREETS. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER A PERIOD OF DAYS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC FRIEND AND HE SAID IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE POWER BRAKES PUTTING AIR INTO THE ENGINE SO I REPLACED THE BOOSTER. THE NEXT TIME I WENT DRIVING IT DID IT AGAIN IN ABOUT AN HOUR. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SENT IT TO VANDERGRIFF HYUNDAI IN ARLINGTON, TEXAS. THEIR DIAGNOSES WAS THAT IT NEEDED A NEW TIMING CHAIN AND OTHER PARTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TIMING CHAIN. WITH ALL THE EXPENSES INVOLVED THE MECHANIC SAID HE COULD GET A USED ENGINE FOR JUST A LITTLE MORE THAN HE COULD FIX THE TIMING CHAIN FOR BUT STILL MUCH CHEAPER THAN THE DEALER WOULD TO REPLACE JUST THE TIMING CHAIN. I HAD THE NEW ENGINE INSTALLED BUT TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING AFTER ABOUT 8 HOURS OF DRIVING. THEN I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THIS MECHANIC WAS NOT A HIGHLY SKILLED MECHANIC. LONG STORY SHORT. ATTEMPTING TO GET THE STALLING PROBLEM FIXED. I HAD A NEW ENGINE INSTALLED, A NEW TRANSMISSION, AND ANOTHER ENGINE. THE MECHANIC LOST THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR SO THE A/C WOULDN'T WORK. THE HUMIDITY BUILT UP IN THE CAR DURING A RAIN STORM. I COULDN'T SEE AND GOT STUCK IN HIGH WATER BLOWING OUT THAT ENGINE. NOW IT WAS COOL SO I DIDN'T NEED THE A/C. BUT WHEN THE WEATHER GOT WARMER I WENT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR SO THE A/C WOULD WORK. BUT NOW THE CAR IS STALLING AGAIN. SAME PROBLEM. SO THE

I CAN HARDLY SEE 6-8 METERS WHEN DRIVING ON DARK STREET, IF I TRAVEL MORE THAN THE SPEED OF 35 MPH , I CANNOT SEE THE DIVIDER UNITIL I COME CLOSE TO IT. COMPLAINED TO HYUNDAI SEVERAL TIMES FOR FEW YEARS TO DIFFERENT DEALERS. NONE OF THEM HAD TAKEN ANY ACTION AND THEY SAY THE LIGHTS ARE ACCORDING TO SPECS. THE LIGHTS FALL CLOSE AND SPREAD WIDE BUT THEY DO NOT FOCUS STRAIGHT AND FAR. THIS IS HAPPENING FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE CAR PURCHASED IN 2014.

AT 75,000 MILES, THE ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING. I CONTACTED A HYUNDAI DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE IS NO GOOD ANYMORE. THEY SAID IT HAS "INTERNAL ENGINE FAILURE". I CHANGED THE OIL ON SCHEDULE. A WELL KEPT ENGINE SHOULDN'T DIE WITH THAT FEW MILES ON IT.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE IS DELAYED KINDA, ALMOST LIKE ITS NOT GETTING ENOUGH AIR AT THE RIGHT TIME . MY CAR WILL HAVE A HARD TIME ACCELERATING AND IT WILL HIT HIGH RMPS THEN SHIFT. I HAVE TO JUST SLOW DOWN BEFORE THE SHIFT CAUSE SOMETIMES IT SCARES ME. I HEAR A TICKING SOUND SOMETIME BUT THAT COULD BE MUSIC. MY BREAKS ARE REALLY TOUCHY AND SOMETIME SEEM TO HAVE NO TRACTION WHEN I NEED IT MOST. ALL THESE THINGS HAPPEN WHEN I AM DRIVING. WHEN I AM TRYING TO ACCELERATE OR BREAK I CAN FILL SOME KIND OF PULL FROM BEHIND THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED, THE ANTI-TRACTION INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT.

ENGINE STARTED WITH "DRY (NO OIL)" SOUND, WHICH DISSIPATED WITHIN A FEW SECONDS. CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL, WAS OK. TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 12-14 MILES. AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 70-75 MPH, ENGINE LOST POWER. LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND ENGINE DIED, I PUSHED IN THE CLUTCH PEDAL, COASTED, THEN LET OFF THE CLUTCH PEDAL AND ENGINE RESTARTED MAKING A VERY LOUD SOUND. MADE IT TO THE HIGHWAY EXIT, ABOUT 1.5 MILES. AS VEHICLE SLOWED, IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE ENGINE HAD SUFFERED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE, SOUNDED LIKE BROKEN BOLTS ROLLING AROUND IN THE ENGINE. PARKED THE CAR. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED, THERE WAS A LARGE CHUNK OF METAL, ASSUMED AND LATER CONFIRMED TO BE PART OF AN INTERNAL ENGINE COMPONENT, LAYING ON THE GROUND WHICH HAD CAME THROUGH THE ENGINE BLOCK AND MAKING A HOLE IN IT. REQUIRED AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT.

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON 11/30/17 THAT HAD THREE IMPACTS AND NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I HAD AN ACCIDENT IN 10/2016 AND IT DID NOT DEPLOY EITHER, BUT I FIGURED MAYBE BECAUSE IT WASN'T AS VIOLENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THE NOVEMBER ACCIDENT WAS HARD AND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE INDICATED THAT THEY WERE SHOCKED THEY DID NOT DEPLOY INCLUDING A DEPUTY, A COUPLE OF DOCTORS, AND TWO INSURANCE REPRESENTATIVES. MY CAR WAS TOTALED SO I DO NOT OWN IT ANYMORE. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45-50 MPH ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AND A PERSON CAME FROM SIDE STREET STOP SIGN AT ME TO CLIP THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, CAUSED FRONT DRIVER SIDE TO HIT A GUARDRAIL, AND FINALLY THE CAR WENT HEAD FIRST INTO SHALLOW DITCH (HIT ROTTEN POST AND A LOT OF BUSHES). DRIVER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN ALL THE WAY, A HOLE WAS IN THE DRIVER FRONT TIRE, THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE LOOKED CONCAVED/MISSHAPEN ON THE CAR.
