2014 Hyundai Elantra

ENGINE HAS ROUGH IDLE SINCE I GOT IT I BELIEVE IT HAS KNOCK ENGINE ISSUES AND SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST I HAVE REPLACED ENGINE COILS INJECTION SYSTEM CLEANING THE RPM AT IDLE IS SO ROUGH MY TRANSMIT FLUID WHEN I HAD MY METER PLUGGED IN IS SO HOT I'M AFRAID OF A FIRE. BUT HYUNDAI I'VE HAD SUCH BAD EXPERIENCE I'M AFRAID OF THE RUN AROUND I JUST WANT IT REPLACES FIXES IT IS FAULTY ENGINE NOW IT SURGES. I DON'T WANT TO DIE FOR THIS MYSTERY HYUNDAI ENGINE ISSUE. *TR

THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A STREET. IT KEPT JUMPING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, THE STEERING WHEEL GOT REALLY HARD TO MOVE. IT MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I TRY TO TURN IT ON, WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR WHITE SMOKE THAT SMELLS REALLY STRONG STARTS COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST AND THE CAR WON'T DRIVE, IF I PUT IT ON DRIVE IT JUMPS A LOT AND TURNS OFF BY ITSELF. I HAVE READ AN ARTICLE IN WHICH MANY USERS OF THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA FROM THE YEARS 2011 TO 2015 HAVE THIS SAME MOTOR ISSUES. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THE ENGINE. EVEN BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS REALLY ROUGH, ITS NOT SMOOTH ITS NOT EASY TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A U- TURN OR TURNING ON A STREET, I HAVE TO PULL REALLY HARD TO MAKE TURNS, I DON'T THINK THIS IS SAFE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE ROADWAY, A REVVED THE ENGINE A BIT TO GET OVER A SMALL HILL, AND HEARD LOUD FAN LIKE NOISES, SPUTTERING, AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON. NO SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE CAR, IT LITERALLY SPUTTERED TO A STOP. I TRIED TO START IT, IT TURNED OVER ONCE AND THAT WAS IT. TRIED HOOKING CABLES TO JUMP IT, EVEN BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY. AFTER CHANGING SPARK PLUGS, IT WAS DETERMINED ONE BLEW. WE TRIED TO REPLACE, SAME THING HAPPENED, THE ENGINE IS SHOT, THE DEALER IS CLAIMING $7,000 TO FIX THIS, AND I'M SEEING THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE, NOT JUST ME. I WORK FOR PENNDOT MAINTENANCE, SO I'M ON TOP OF MAINTAINING, OIL, FILTERS, CHECK UPS. TIRES WERE A BIT LOW, BUT NEXT ON MY LIST. I NEED HELP. *TR

THE CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF NUMEROUS TIMES. THE PANEL DID NOT SHOW ANY CODES - NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS LIGHTING. EVENTUALLY THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE, AND THE CAR STOPPED MORE FREQUENTLY IN CITY/STREET DRIVING AND ON THE CHICAGO EDENS HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR, WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARING.THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO MULTIPLE AUTO MECHANICS FOR THE PURPOSE OF RECEIVING MULTIPLE OPINIONS, THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP MECHANICS TOLD US WE NEEDED TO CHANGE THE ENGINE - WITH NO SOLID REASONING OR INCREMENTAL EVIDENCE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A) TRULY, AN ENGINE MECHANICS OR OTHER RELATED OPERATING ISSUE OR 2) SERIOUS ENOUGH PROBLEM TO REQUIRE AN ENTIRE ENGINE OVERHAUL. WHEN CONTACTING HYUNDAI AMERICA, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO ACCEPT THE FACTS OF WHICH ARE A VERY SERIOUS, IMMANENT MANUFACTURER CONCERN, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, CONSUMER CONFIDENCE AND SAFETY CONCERN. THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. WE HAVE ENTIRE REASON TO BELIEVE BASED ON OUR FACTUAL INFORMATION THAT HYUNDAI IS PRESENTING DISHONEST AND POTENTIALLY HARMFUL INFORMATION TO THEIR CUSTOMERS, FROM THE VEHICLE'S LACK OF SAFETY NOTIFICATION AND IMPROPER RESPONSE IN HANDLING THE SITUATION WITH THE CONSUMER. I TALKED WITH THE HYUNDAI CASE MANAGER. THEIR SYSTEM HAS MY INFO AND MY CAR INFO, AND OUR CONVERSATION. I HAD INFORMED CASE MANAGER, THAT I'M GOING TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO NHTSA AGAINST HYUNDAI POOR PERFORMANCE AND ISSUE RESOLUTION. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR INVESTIGATION. *LN *JS

BOUGHT MY ELANTRA GT HATCHBACK 4 YEARS AGO WITH 34K MILES USED, GOOD CONDITION! I HAD A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA PRIOR AND LOVED IT SO WHY NOT I THOUGHT. I HAVE KEPT UP WITH MY OIL CHANGES, TIRE ROTATIONS, NEW TIRES ETC RECENTLY THIS YEAR MY CAR STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE, WE FIGURED IT MIGHT BE THE OIL SO I REPLACED IT, BUT WANTED STILL THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IT OUT. ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP THE CAR'S ENGINE LIGHT KEPT FLASHING, THEN WHEN I PULLED OVER THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE BATTERY LIGHT, THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, SO I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CALLED AND SAID I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE BASICALLY, SOMETHING RELATED TO THE CYLINDERS ETC. I AM TRYING ALL AVENUES TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE CAR FIXED AND OUT OF MY HANDS, UNFORTUNATELY I AM NOT BUYING HYUNDAI AGAIN, ESPECIALLY SINCE READING THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND HYUNDAI STILL REFUSES TO ADD THIS MODEL TO THEIR SONATA AND SANTA FE RECALL, RIDICULOUS. SORRY HYUNDAI YOU HAVE LOST MY BUSINESS SINCE YOU REFUSE TO TAKE UP RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR MISTAKES.

MY CAR IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND I NOTICED THE SHIFT STARTED TO GET STUCK HERE AND THERE. WITHIN A COUPLE DAYS AND VERY LITTLE DRIVING, I GOT STUCK AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T SHIFT AT ALL. IT ONLY HAS 31,000 MILES SO I DIDN'T THINK IT COULD BE THE CLUTCH. AFTER 2.5 WEEKS AT THE DEALER, THEY SAID IT'S NOT A RECALL BUT IS A HYUNDAI "ALERT", COVERED BY WARRANTY AND THAT THERE'S A DEFECT THAT ALLOWS DEBRIS IN WHICH JAMS THE SHIFT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REMOVED, THE SHIFTER CLEANED UP AND A PATCH KIT PUT IN TO KEEP IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. WITHIN A COUPLE DAYS AND LESS THAN 20 MILES, I LOST ALL ABILITY TO SHIFT AND THE CAR WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. IT STARTED AGGRESSIVELY JUMPING FORWARD AND BACK WITH NO CONTROL. I WAS STOPPED BY A CURB. THIS WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND I COULD HAVE HIT A PERSON! IT WOULD NO LONGER START GOT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND I'M AWAITING AN ANSWER.

AFTER REACHING APPROX. 60,000 MILES MY ENGINE DEVELOPED A SLIGHT TICKING NOISE. I'VE MAINTAINED REGULAR OIL CHANGES, ROTATIONS AND OTHER GENERAL MAINTENANCE ALONG WITH ENSURE MY CAR SELDOM IF EVER HITS EMPTY. IN THE PAST FEW YEARS OF OWNING THE CAR, I'VE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE START UP. I CONTRIBUTED THIS TO THE COLD WEATHER OF CHICAGO. AS THE TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN RATHER FAIR LATELY, I'VE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WHERE IT WONT START INITIALLY. TODAY, MY ENGINE DIED TWICE WHILE IN TRAFFIC WITH NO WARNING, NO SOUNDS OR ANYTHING. I WAS ABLE TO START IT UP JUST FINE TODAY AND AFTER EACH STALL BUT AM MORE CONCERNED OF A LARGER ISSUE. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH A NUMBER OF HYUNDAI VEHICLES IN THE 2014 CLASS ALONG WITH A NUMBER OF ELANTRAS.MY ISSUE OCCURED WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS.

MY CAR STARTED MAKING A RATTLING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. IT THEN STALLED WHEN I CAME TO A STOP. I WAS ON A SIDE STREET AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT, BUT EVERY TIME I CAME TO A STOP OR SLOWED DOWN IT WOULD STALL. I WAS LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY EVERY TIME IT STALLED (IT STALLED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE 2 DAYS BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO THE MECHANIC) I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD ME I NEED A NEW ENGINE. MY CAR HAS 57714 MILES ON IT AND IS REGULARLY MAINTAINED. I CALLED A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME SINCE I WAS THE SECOND OWNER THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE WARRANTY I PURCHASED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR WILL COVER HALF THE COST OF A NEW ENGINE.
