Car Will Not Start problems of the 2013 Hyundai Elantra

I was getting off the freeway on the off ramo and came to a red light. When the light changed green my car died and I was in left turn lane. I couldnt move the car forward. I didnt have ac and the car would not start at all.

For the last week after sitting overnight my car will not start. I get in while its parked stationary on the street, turn the key, all the lights come on, I can hear the fuel pump kick on, (there is no click), and nothing happens. After I repeatedly turn the key it has been starting but I am afraid it will just not start at some point. Called the dealer where I purchased they car, they said to call the Hyundai dealer. Called Hyundai dealer, they said they have not heard anything about the problem and would have to replicate problem (there are complaints all over the internet about this problem) they said I would have to leave the car with them, with no chance of a loaner (I cannot afford to uber 26 miles a day). I told them once I get it started for the day, it usually starts right back up after being turned off. I took a video of the problem this morning. It had the same trouble starting this morning when cold, and then when I got to work, 13 miles away, I turned it off and attempted to start it, it did the same thing (thats why I obtained the video of the issue). I am going to have to borrow a family members car to drive while they diagnose this widely reported problem they have "never heard of". I owned a 2007 Elantra since it was new and just sold it to buy this piece of garbage. . I never had one issue in 13 years of ownership. Hyundai needs to take accountability and recall this issue.

I drove my 2013 Hyundai Elantra Tuesday evening and parked it at 9pm. Went to start my car to go to work at 730am and it would not start. All of the lights came on, headlights and radio worked the car just would not start. I tried to start it 5 more times, it is push start. I called and had my car towed that evening, the tow guy came and put it in neutral and it started right up. I still had the car towed because I have had so many electrical issues with this car. It has been at the Hyundai dealership for 4 days now and no one can tell me what is wrong with it. It has started a couple times for the dealership but not consistently. I keep calling and asking what the issue is but they have no idea what it is. I have read numerous comments about the same issue with this car. This needs to be a recall this is not fair to us as Hyundai customers. This should be recalled and paid for by Hyundai.

I tried to start my 2013 Hyundai Elantra limited. The brake pedal would not depress and the car would not start but made an electronic clicking noise. This has been an issue for a couple of years now but becoming more frequent. It has stranded me amd my infant children twice this past year and myself twice. The dealer has made suggestions but none work. Looked online and hundreds of other owners of all models having starting issues. Don't understand whyissue has not been recalled but I'm going to have to trade my car in for new one as I need reliable transportation for my children. All instances occurred after vehicle was driven, parked and starting attempts. Please look into this matter. It may have not recieved many complaints on this page, however, online blogs are full of same issue with an large amount of Hyundai owners.

When attempting to start vehicle the "p" does not show in the information panel and the car will not start. Vigorous shaking of the gear selector sometimes allows the "p" to illuminate and then the car will start. The vehicle is not in motion and has been parked in garage. This started in October and happens more and more frequently.

I bought this car used in June of this year. About a month after purchasing, I started having problems with the car not wanting to accelerate and then car losing power completely on interstate. My father came and the car started right up and drove fine. Two weeks later same thing. My mother came to get me and when she got there, there was no power to car but keys were stuck in on position and car was still in gear as I had to pull emergency brake to get the car to stop. The car would not start and we had the car towed to local Hyundai dealer. My mother told tow truck driver that battery would most likely be dead as the car had been sitting in on position waiting for tow and then trip to dealer. Dealer stated bad battery and car was out of gas. Although no gas was added to car but they performed all their tests and updates to ecm per manufacturer with car out of gas (but running). Replaced battery and came out of work not long after and car would not start. I hit steering wheel in frustration and tried again and car started. Drove it home, left it in accessory position, lost power. Did same thing as before with hitting steering wheel, started again. Recently moved away to college, drove it all day, went back to my parent's house for a couple hours went to leave and the keys would not turn (could not even get steering wheel unlocked), it sat overnight at my parents for at least one night maybe two while I drove my mother's car. The original dealer came to take it back and see if he could figure it out, started the first time he tried to start it. Turned it off and tried again and he could not get steering wheel to unlock and key to turn, waited a couple minutes and tried again and it has been running fine since. The dealer I bought it from is willing to let me trade the car back to him for something else if I can find something I want but I love my car.

The engine of my 2013 Hyundai Elantra GLS failed to start the morning of 1/3/17 while parked in the driveway. I turned the key in the ignition numerous times without success. The dash lights would illuminate, but the car wouldn't start or even try to turn over. After appx. 15 attempts, it finally started. I bought a new battery hoping that would fix problem. However, the problem repeated on 1/18/17, again while parked in driveway. After roughly 50 attempts to start the car and trying to wiggle the gear shift, it finally started. I then drove to the dealership and left the car with them overnight. The following day I was advised by the service department that since they could not get the car to duplicate the problem or trigger any diagnostic codes, they could not repair it or replace any parts. Fortunately, to date I have been in safe places during daylight hours when my car failed to start. However, I may not always be so fortunate and could possibly be stranded in a very vulnerable location in the future. Out of the 430 complaints listed against the 2013 Elantra on the NHTSA website, roughly 7% of the owners reported experiencing this identical problem. A further search of the internet reveals many, many more such complaints. One might believe that could indicate the existence of a widespread problem; yet, it does not appear that the manufacturer has issued any recalls or service bulletins specific to my vehicle model to address/fix this engine failure.

Push button start. Car will not start right away after depressing the start button. When start button is depressed, indicating lights on the dash will illuminate, and approximately 10 second later, the radio and the air conditioning will kick in. At this point I have approximately 10 seconds to attempt to start the car and 75% of the time the car will start; otherwise, I have to turn the car off and attempt to restart again. This issue has been going on for approximately two months now. Took it into the dealership and they stated they could not recreate the problem as the car started for them every time apparently and could not do anything to solve my issue, even though they admittedly tightened up terminals for the battery. The car seemed to start every single time for about a week after the visit, and now it's doing it again. Called Hyundai and they knew nothing about issue. I've resorted to taking video to help describe the issue to technicians, and the latest dealership basically told me that they still would not be able to use my video but would have to recreate the problem themselves. This is going to be really bad if I'm stuck in somewhere because my car won't start and Hyundai claiming they cant do anything about it.

My 2014 Hyundai Elantra did not start on three separate occasions over the past month. The dash lights and indicators came on but the engine did not crank or make any sound. Eventually after multiple attempts over 10 minutes, the engine started. I am concerned that the car will not start at all and leave me stranded. On one other occasion after starting, the gear shift would not move out of the park position.

Vehicle will not start despite a charged battery and following proper starting procedures. The vehicle is a push-to-start vehicle. This has happened multiple times. After a time (10-15 minutes), and trying different techniques, it does start. This is an issue with multiple Hyundai Elantra owners, whether it is push-to-start or keyed ignition.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Elantra. Upon starting the vehicle, the ignition was inactive and the vehicle would not start. The contact stated that roadside service was able to start the vehicle. In addition, the vehicle accelerated on its own. This was a recurring failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 17,840.

Car will not start. The immobilizer icon shows up in the dash and both Smart key fobs do not work. Called Hyundai customer service and could not do anything but refer me to the nearest dealership. . Dealer promised to call back but never did.

Car will not start! everything comes on lights radio n etc. I had my battery check it great. Can't find a solution. I have been out several times and this has happened. I have lost income because of this issue.

I went out to start car and it would not start. . . I tried several times and finally held the key as far a it would go and it cranked. I took it to the Hyundai dealer and they kept it over night. They could find nothing wrong with it. Next month same thing happened only this time I could not start it. I called hyudai dealer and they towed the car and kept it for a week. The car started right back up for them and they could not find the problem. The battery is good and everything comes on like the radio and wipers but doesn't start. The only thing the tow guy did was to put the car in neutral to get it on the tow truck. When I went on line to find you all I saw several people with the same car having the same problem, my warranty gives out in a few hundred miles and I am afraid that when it doesn't start again I will not be covered. And I am afraid it will not start when I am at the beach or out of town or the store. I t is a very vulnerable place to be because I have children. Updated 09/15/lj.

Car will not start. Everything turns on , radio, lights, bluetooth works, but the engine does not turn over. Has happened multiple times and continues to happen. Have not found a solution yet.

Car would not start. After a few attempts with holding the key on start position it would start as normal. It was taken to local dealership who state the engine ground wires were corroded. It's a 2013 Elantra when asked what caused the corrosion , the dealership stated they didn't know but they have had 8 other vehicles with the same issue this month. I'd be concerned this could become a fire hazard and it cause the vehicle to shut off while running. Thank you for your time. Zach.

Over the past 11 month this car has had several incidences where it just will not start. On a few occasions it started after a couple of tries and a few occasions where it would not start when I needed it to but had no problem starting an hour or two later. This weekend was the biggest issue. I parked my car Friday evening with no indication that there was an issue but on Saturday the car would not start, later on Saturday the car would not start, Sunday the car would not start. Hyundai roadside assistance sent someone out to jump my car but the car would not start. They sent out a tow truck to take the car to the dealership and he used the shift override to put the car in neutral and the car started right up once it was in neutral and it drove just fine. When this issue occurs the instrument panel lights up but when I turn the key to start the car, the panel goes out and there is nothing but silence from the engine. The last time it happened I took the car to the dealership but they said they could not duplicate the issue so there was nothing they could do because it is not causing any codes to go to the computer.
