Engine Noise problems of the 2013 Hyundai Elantra

We brought our vehicle in, under warranty, for engine noises and stalling. We were told the previous owner could have neglected maintenance and we should do more frequent oil changes to solve the issue(oil sludge). This went on for months and the issue only got worse. By the time the issue was diagnosed(pistons), we were out of warranty and noone would help us. We later found out they covered some bearing issues, but not piston issues. We did everything recommended. They refuse to give me documents, I have asked many times for them(mcgrath Hyundai of cedar rapids). This was 2 years ago. We entered a class action suit thinking we would get the help we deserved. We aren't getting help from the settlement and they are now saying we were out of warranty upon purchase of the vehicle. If we had the money to replace we would be getting full reimbursement, but we get nothing since we were financially unable. The people that did get the replacement engine are still having issues. I would like this engine to be recalled because I feel it is unsafe and not the driver/purchasers fault.

While driving home from work the check engine light turned on. I drive eight miles with it on. It didn't make any sound or anything that concerned me, aside from the light. Parked it at home and went to get a code reader. Tried to start it and it wouldn't start. Had to flat bed it to a repair shop and they said the engine needed replaced. I only have 114k miles. Kept up on maintenance. Had it in a month prior for brakes and it was looked inner with no problems. Hyundai will do nothing because it is over warranty. Prior to all of this I had problems with it within the first six months of owning it. Have had the power steering rack replaced , master cylinder, slave cylinder twice, along with multiple other issues including sporadically pulling hard to the left for no apparent reason, before it was even at 16k.

Making a noise.

My 2013 Elantra (appx. 54k miles) began making noises when turning while driving and when stalling. Twice the vehicle lost acceleration and shut off while driving on local streets. I took the vehicle to the dealer service department in February 2017 and they indicated there was no oil in the car and the engine needed to be replaced. It had been less than 5k miles since the last oil change. The repairs and rental are both covered under warranty. After replacing the engine and a few other parts, I was told my vehicle was ready for pickup in March 2017. I got in the car and noticed a noise. The advisor and tech said its because of a new pump and will go away after driving a few miles. Immediately after driving off and entering the highway I heard a dragging noise and the engine light came on. I turned around and went back to the service department. They kept the vehicle and placed me in another rental. It is now may 2017 and the car is still in the service department. The engine has been replace twice and other parts have been replace multiple times as well. I was told by the service manager that Hyundai has sent out an engineer to look at the vehicle. At this point it appears they do not know the problem and/or cannot fix the problem. I am no longer confident in the safety of my car and Hyundai vehicles over all.

Engine failure. Zero compression cylinder #1. Second time this has happened since purchase on 10/18/2016. Also, tire pressure problem, esc light comes on, dashboard gauges inoperative. Fuel mileage below what is advertised. Neither hundai nor enterprise will fix the problem after repeated demands. Also, there is a recall regarding "stopper pad" and stop lamp switch. Bought vehicle, cash, from enterprise car sales in montclair, CA. It was a "certified" used car, supposedly. Immediately I noticed that the engine sounded "tinny". Sounded like a sewing machine, it was knocking. Also, when I lifted the oil stick, smoke came out of engine. This was within 2 weeks after purchase. The car completely lost compression on interstate 10 in April, 2015. I told both Hyundai and enterprise who ignored my complaints. Finally, after several complaints and threats, enterprise took the car in and sent it to Hyundai dealership who claimed there was no problem. The car began losing power again in September, 2016 and finally stopped in the middle of the street in arcadia, CA. No compression. It had to be towed to my house. I took it to private shop who said "zero compression in cylinder #1, possible burned out valve '. See attached. Called hyindai and enterprise again. Both denied responsibility, and refused to do anything. I have to now pay over $1,000 to get engine rebuilt. This car is a lemon and I am enttied to refund or a new car.

My job requires me to drive a lot. Lately, about once a month now, my car will not start. It takes a 2-3 attempts before it will turnover. I literally does not make a sound but the lights and indicators come on. I have 2013 Elantra gt 5 door. I started noticing this at about 30k miles. I now have over 50k miles. This has only been this year that I've been experiencing this problem. I just don't want it to eventually not start at all.
