Car Stall Problems of Hyundai Elantra - part 1

We lease 5 Hyundai 2024 Elantra blue hybrids that were bought new a few months back. We have experienced the same issues with 3 of the 5 so far. Cars will stall at low speeds and sometimes engine light goes on. Cars will suddenly not accelerate after stopping at a stop sign. Extreme danger for our drivers who are transporting developmentally disabled clients to outings and shopping, etc. Hyundai replaced throttle body replacement but same issues reappeared 2 days after getting car back. Now, Hyundai is claiming the gps units plugged in may be causing this, but other 2 are not experiencing this issue (2 of 5). They refuse to work on further unless gps units are out, but customer needs gps units per insurance. So we need help from Hyundai in dealing with the dealer zimbrick east of madison, WI. We need the vehicles, but don't want our employees at risk.

At less than 62,000 miles the engine no longer has pressure and the car is inoperable. Vehicle began stalling 1 week prior to car becoming inoperable.

My 17 year old son was driving the car to practice. It began to knock and smoke. It stalled in the middle of the road. We had the car towed home. A mechanic looked at it the next day and said that the engine was dead. A rod was thrown. The oil drum had other things leaked into it like antifreeze. I called Hyundai, because it is under warranty. (only 34,000 miles on it). At that time they informed me of the recall. It is an engine recall where the exact thing happens. It sat at the dealership for a week and a half before they even would look at it. Then they refuse to fix the recall. They submitted a "prior auth" for warranty repair. We had to submit oil change info (which we did). After 5 weeks they told us via text message that Hyundai denied to cover warranty due to neglect. They are blaming us when there is an engine recall on this car!?!?! they won't even speak about the recall, they are rude and told us to go to the bbb and get an attorney. I have attached our oil change receipts that we sent them. Please help!.

1. Car eats up oil so fast and there seem to be no valid reason. - causing engine misfire. 2. The acceleration on the car is delayed or stalled at times while I am on the road 3. There is I ringing/ rattle inside of the car when it is running that has been there since I brought the veh brand new in 2017 4. The cute trim on the car started to peel off after one month.

The contact owns a 2020 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine malfunctioned causing the vehicle to stall. The vehicle was towed to regional Hyundai located at 2380 w kenosha st, broken arrow, ok 74012, to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the engine was faulty and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN tool confirmed that the VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 21v301000 (engine). The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was 44,000.

There's a knocking ,tapping coming from motor, I was crossing intersection across a highway my vehicle stalled a bit thought it was going to die. I recently found out there was a claim out that the motors were defective as far as pistons tapping , losing power. I have contacted all I could all same same thing , sorry your warranty is expired. I have kept up with oil changes and maintenance car only had roughly 4,000 miles on it. The extended warranty does not cover miles over 10000 (if your a second owner )or 140000 if your original owner. I bought my car from enterprise car dealerships they bought it from Hyundai. My issue is I was not told about a faulty engine until it was to late. And that wasn't even from Hyundai or dealership. It was from the class action lawsuit paper. The repairs or replacement of motor Hyundai is offering excludes people like me that had no idea and have exceeded miles of their original 100000 mile warranty. People like me that had and have no clue about the issues with motor are at risk for stalling or whatever else because we were not notified about problems. I'm thankful my car didn't die on crossing highway/ interstate with traffic . My problems with motor that they knew was faulty just started at 127,000 miles or so. People need to be aware of these issues, Hyundai I feel are trying to cover up or refuse a recall to save them money.

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.

My 2012 Hyundai Elantra would stall at stop signs and lights. It would stop and start again. . I went to Hyundai to check it out and they said it was the fuel pump. The next day I was driving on the highway and turning off the highway my car stalled out and when I tried to pull over on the side of the road the brakes were hard to press. Using all my weight I got it to come to a stop. It would not crank. I tried about three times to crank it while holding down the gas. It eventually allowed me to change gears really quick and take off. I made it 5 minutes down the road to the house but it stalled as I parked. Now it won't crank at all. For the last couple of weeks I've been trying to crank it. I've had the fuel pump, the spark plugs, the camshaft sensor, and the camshaft position sensor changed and it still isn't cranking.

Car stalled on highway on 11-01-2020, passed both inspections on 8-29-2020. Purchased car on 9-1-2020 through drivetime. I have inspection paper work from buyer showing everything passed. Changed oil on 10/14/2020 through jiffylube with only the air filter being the only issue flagged.

The car would stall in the middle of driving, the most recent time on a major highway. The vehicle stalls with no reason at all. This incident has happened 5 or 6 times with no help from the dealer as they have not found the issue. This vehicle is unsafe to drive.

While driving, engine would turn off while driving. As I attempted to accelerate the engine would be off (no acceleration) and the engine, oil, and battery lights would come on. Dashboard electronics and radio would stay on. Put the car in park, turn it off, turn it back on - no dashboard lights on and the car now drives as normal. All instances happened while vehicle was in motion on city streets, most instanced happened while the vehicle was turning. The first time this happened I took it to Hyundai lakeland. They said it was because I had low oil (no oil indicator light had been on). "fixed" it by doing an oil change. All subsequent oil changes have been done at Hyundai lakeland. 8 months later I experienced the same problem. Car taken to Hyundai lakeland. Diagnosed as bad sensors in the engine (sending incorrect information about when the engine needs power) and a bad crankshaft (as a result of the stalling and bad sensors). Because of the multiple occasions that this has occurred and the different diagnoses that it has had from the same dealership, I am unsure if this issue has been taken care of with the last repair. An engine that turns off while the vehicle is in motion creates a dangerous situation of the driver and others as the vehicle ceases forward motion. I have been lucky that this issue has not resulted in a traffic accident.

Purchased a Hyundai Elantra 2017 from a dealership on July 7, 2020. The 2nd day it stalled on me feeling like it's in neutral with engine light on. I returned to the dealership and they replace the ignition coil as and said they ordered a part to return in 2 wks. This had something to do with the airbag under the passenger seat. They kept the car another 2 weeks. I was happy when they called that it was ready. Each time I had to pay the 2 tolls to go to them in jersey. Before I got on the garden state good, the car started shaking, couldn't go over 45 mph with the engine light on again. I returned it. They kept it 2 weeks. I have my car with the engine light on still and called to complain but unable to reach a manager each time. I used up over $200 of toll money which I used up plus getting someone to take me to drop off or pick up the car had to pay for gas and toll. Produced the e-zpass receipts and everything and every time I go and ask for the refund, the owner is never there. I do not want to have my new car break down with me in the middle of winter. I requested a list of the things that were done to try to resolve the engine light issue several times even from the salesman who does not take my calls or when he does, he don't know what to tell me. Said he'll ask and get back to me. No response. The first day I paid for the car and we were happy to be going home, my daughter and I noticed the front bumper all broken up and it wasn't like that when we inspected and chose it before paying. The salesman sal said there's nothing he can do about that as I already paid for the car and must accept it that way. I brought it to a saleswoman attention the last time I went to pick up my car and they only said the manager/owner will reach out to me. Never heard from them. Still didn't receive plates. I feel like they took advantage of me as a senior citizen.

While slowing down after driving on highway or stopping at an traffic light, the car stalls and loses power steering. Needs to be put in neutral to restart but if stopping at another light, it dies again.

The car has been stalling since last February, mostly during turns, and while deaccelerating. Sometimes it idles rough and stalls at traffic lights. I took it to my dealer back then, and they told me the problem was caused by metal shavings from the engine plugging the valve that regulates fuel. I had performed regular oil changes and the dealer believed that the problem was caused by a manufacturing defect. The dealer contacted Hyundai, and Hyundai refused to remedy the defect. The problem temporarily goes away if I get an oil system flush, which I have been doing frequently. After about a month, the car begins stalling again, presumeably because the shavings are plugging the valve again. The car has become difficult to start. This morning it would not start at all.

Engine will spontaneously shut off without notice while driving or stationary. This has happened on the street and on the freeway. There is no notice prior to call stalling (engine shutting). Car must be placed in neutral or park and then restarted. Car was taken to Hyundai dealership for full diagnostic with no findings.

The vehicle is rattling it stalls out of no where its very loud in the engine. It stalls at stops and sometimes while driving in the middle of the street. The noise is constant.

Tl the contact drove a 2020 Hyundai Elantra loaner vehicle. While the contact's son was driving, the vehicle revved to approximately 80 mph and then suddenly stalled. The driver stated that the check engine indicator illuminated. The contact's son coasted the vehicle off the road and started the vehicle, but it did not respond. After approximately two more attempts, the vehicle regained power. The contact called burdick Hyundai (located at 7820 hogan drive s, cicero, NY 13039, 315-452-7000). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000. The VIN was unknown.

My vehicle is a 2017 Hyundai Elantra with 41,000 miles. I am the second owner. On December 3rd, 2019, I was driving vehicle car approximately 60 mph on the highway in traffic. As my foot was pressing on the accelerator, the vehicle began to slow down, and the rpm needle began to bounce around. I pulled my vehicle off to the side of the road and restarted the vehicle. The engine light was not on. At this point the dealership was not open and the engine light was not on, so I decided to wait till the morning to contact the Hyundai dealership. As I drove home, I stopped at a red light and the vehicle began to stall. I pulled the car into the nearest parking lot and left it there overnight. The Hyundai shop kept my vehicle two days. They gave me a loaner car for the second day, so I did not miss another day at work. They stated the issue was �faulty ignition coils� and replaced the wires. It was covered under manufactures warrantee thankfully. Today, December 12th, I got in my vehicle to go to work and the vehicle shook when I started it. The engine light came on immediately and I called the maintenance shop. They had a loaner for me waiting, and I am now waiting to hear what is wrong with it this time. I have put on approximately 400 miles on the vehicle in the last 4 days.

I've been driving this vehicle as a secondary owner since 64k miles, it's now at about 71k. I keep up with maintenance regularly, but lately it's developed a bit of a noticeable ticking especially when cold, and idles pretty rough when cold, seems to get better as the vehicle heats up. 3 times, all spaced out by a couple of months I've also experience a refusal to start, trying again usually gets it to start but one of those times it almost sounded like it was misfiring since it seemed to stumble and nearly stall. I've taken it to two shops and not one of them and has been able to determine the underlying issue like it's not even there, one of them only suggested a battery replacement which funny enough seemed to help it until recently, will be taking to Hyundai soon perhaps but I see a trend of very similar symptoms on here.

My engine light came on several times the car starts to act like it's going to stall then the engine light comes on there is like no power to the car a year ago I was driving up a overpass and my car stalled and the engine light came on I seriously could of got killed I want answers to why the engine light and the car starts to break down apparently I feel it's the engine or the power system is failing .

While driving my car will stall without any warning. I am driving straight without putting on brakes or accelerating. I can restart it. Again without any notice it stalls. This has happened at least 10 times and am scared to drive my car. This is very dangerous because you loose power steering and effective braking. This is a very dangerous situation and should be investigated. I noticed online complaints from other Elantra owners with the same problem which is related to the pistons.

As I backed out of a parking place and attempted to stop the car in reverse to check the area behind me, the car stalled out completely, the engine stopped and the brakes would not respond and seemed stuck. I put the car back in park and turned it off, then finally on the third try, the engine engaged and I had control of the car, moved back into the parking place and then managed to back out normally and proceed.

Possible crankshaft angle sensor failure. Car will not start properly or stalls after starting and shifting gears. New battery installed 9/29/2018. No spark plugs or alternator issues noted after mechanical testing. There should be a recall for this problem as most mechanics cannot locate the issue in testing.

Vehicle stalled twice while driving. Once while merging from a highway on to a surface street. Hyundai is aware of this issue involving 2012 Elantras and other years as well. This issue was also present in the sonata, and ultimately was settled with a class action law suit. Speaking with an attorney we are also aware of instances where vehicles have caught on fire as a result of these defective engines.
