general problems of the 2014 Hyundai Elantra - part 2

Hyundai has had numerous engine failures and fires, due to piston slap. Multiple lawsuits and recalls in other countries. Hyundai has a t6g service campaign to replace these engines and they even extended it to unlimited mileage for the first owner. The problem is that they will not honor this unless you are the first owner and you did all of your oil changes at the dealership. They have an 85% rejection rate for claims that have the eligible flaw. . . That is ridiculous. Why are they able to refuse to fix 85% of these engines that blow up and catch fire prematurely due to a known issue? please recall these engines. Multiple times my engine has stopped leaving me with no power steering or brakes, one of which almost ended in a collusion on the highway. It took a lot of strength to push the break in to stop the car. The scariest moment of my life. And I knows these are an issue and the dealership even said he sees a bunch of them come in all the time with this issue, and yet until it is an actual recall and I will do nothing about it. Please please for the love of god issue a recall on these, thank you so much NHTSA for keeping automotive industry in check and making sure that our cars are safe and reliable.

There is a significant problem with this car where the check engine and dashboard lights flicker on and then the car stalls and loses all power immediately. This has happened multiple times, including on the highway, which was a significant safety hazard. Upon taking the car to a Hyundai dealer, they indicated problems with the engine that require an engine replacement that would cost on the order of $8,000-9,000. Upon further research, we found two class action settlements related to engine problems for Hyundai vehicles of this type/age, but Hyundai says this vehicle is not covered due to mileage of 101,400.

My engine has a hole in the block and the starter completely blew up. Noone can explain how this has happened. The car shop wants $12,000 to repair this. The car never leaked any oil until the day it blew up on me. No check engine light ever came on, no oil light ever came on.

Engine has a load ticking noise, mechanic said he thought it was the lifters. The vehicle also stalls while driving; after accelerating and reaching cruising speed it will stall as you ease off accelerator. It has not done it using with cruise control.

Car will not start and have bought two batteries and replaced.

2014 Hyundai Elantra gt routinely maintained and serviced as by the Hyundai dealership (never missed a service). Vehicle starting making a clicking/thudding sound. After getting it looked at, the technician said it is an engine issue and the engine is shot. The technician said that the engine will probably quit in the next month or so. The vehicle has only 100,000 miles on it and has been serviced by the dealership throughout ownership. This is a huge problem and Hyundai needs to step up and have this resolved. There needs to be a recall on the engine.

My engine light came on yesterday morning and started acting different. I went to a auto mechanic who after inspection told me my engine failed. This car is not that old and has had regular maintenance. I see now that many people have experienced this problem. I can't afford another car and in fact still paying for this one. What can I do?.

I noticed a rattling noise while accelerating in second and third gear under my car in the spring. I took it in to a repair shop and they resecured an under tray but otherwise did not seem concerned. The rattling noise continued. After driving on a longer trip on the highway recently the rattling became more frequent and intense, causing the whole car to shake. I also had difficulty accelerating above about 50 mph. I took my car in to a different shop the following day. They discovered that there was a misfire occurring in cylinder 3, causing buildup in the exhaust system (the rattling that I noticed) and which caused the catalytic converter to go bad, which I had to pay to replace. Throughout this entire time, my check engine light never came on, although it illuminated normally when turning on the car. The lack of a warning via check engine light when the misfire began occurring caused the converter to go bad, resulting in a very costly repair for me.

The car is stalling with no warning lights. The engine would quit running and I would have coat it into a safe spot, this happened while I was crossing an intersection and driving down the road at 35 mph or less. I would have to turn the key off and then turn it to start and it would suddenly restart only to stall again. It is not the battery at all. My dad is a mechanic himself and pinpointed the issue to the engine and he said he has never seen an engine quit and restart like this without warning from the check engine light. He believes that it did not fail because of wear and tear but rather from a defect in the engine. He further expanded that the defect can also be connected to a faulty computer system not being able to recognize the engine failure. He feel Hyundai needs to recognize these complaints and take them seriously. Hyundai needs to recall these cars and fix the problem.

The engine started making a clicking sound, and was running rough. Then shook violently and turned off while I was on the freeway, then getting very hot. It is defective and the dealer took it in under the t6g campaign but it was denied due to the salvage title for unrelated issues. Now it smokes if I drive it for an hour or two and takes a while to stop smoking afterwards. This car only has 120000 miles. They said it's a goodwill campaign but not a recall so they don't have to honor it. Now it runs for a few minutes but then smokes from the engine so I shut it off.

My engine failed as I was traveling on a highway, I was going around 80 mph. This was very dangerous as I had other cars behind me and to the right of me, I was in the left lane. I had to gradually move over from the far left lane into the shoulder on the right side. It was extremely unsafe. Unknown. Unknown. My engine warning light became active.

Engine was experiencing ticking/knocking. Car stalled on freeway, and now the engine must be replaced. Identical problem as seen in the 2018 class action lawsuit. Car experiencing same symptoms and confirmed by mechanic, despite not being in a cold-weather state.

My car started ticking and making loud noise. The next day took to the dealer to have it looked it. I stopped at a light and the car stopped any wouldn’t go . It was running but no power, the said was the engine . It’s been at the dealer since beginning July 2022 and they are saying could be October or November before they can work on it . The car only had 50k miles on it and I only purchased it 6 months ago .

Engine has failed at 67,000 and resembles the 2018 class action lawsuit. Dealership/Hyundai motor will not fix it because vehicle is not in a "cold weather state" even though it is a known issue in the car. I have had the vehicle for not even four years, the vehicle came from a cold weather state where it spent over half the vehicle life and 1/3 of its miles.

From a Hyundai dealership, I was sold a 2014 Hyundai Elantra in June of 2022 with a ticking noise. I was told it was normal and would go away with driving over time. It had not. I had the vehicle assessed by a reputable mechanic and then towed to and reassessed by a different Hyundai dealership. Was told the engine has piston slapping and engine is bad (by both). After a year and a half of back and forth, Hyundai has refused to repair or replace the engine or replace the vehicle since I’m not the original owner and it was sold over 100,000 miles on the vehicle. I paid a little over $13,000 for a rock that doesn’t drive. I don’t have $7,000 to replace an engine and I’m on a fixed income. There are lawsuits in other countries, just not in the USA yet. I need help please.

Piston slapping, engine failing. First diagnosed with christian auto brothers of concord, nc in December of 2022; then advised to tow to my local modern Hyundai dealer in concord, nc 12:30/22. Same diagnostics, same result. *Hyundai extended their warranty to 140,000 miles for this issue, but refuse to fix since I’m not the original owner. Purchased June 2022 from keffer Hyundai dealership in charlotte, nc.

Good morning, this model and year of vehicle has had so many defects. I have paid hundreds of dollars over simple vehicle factors that Hyundai manufacturers should really assess while pushing them to the market. This mode has had many brake light defect all consisting of the electrical wiring. I have changed many times the brie lights bulbs only for them to blowout within a week. This is a roadway safety issue. Worse of all the engine is faulty and the vehicles for this specific year tend to seize up or blowout due to the vehicle burning oil way before 3000 miles. I’ve had to change oil now every month because the engine will literally start making a screeching noise under the hood. Only to realize that the car has zero oil yet zero leaks under 1000 miles of driven. The dealership recently changed my oil and filter and after 1,500 miles I realized the engine making this noise for the 3rd time. I have now filed a complaint with their head office, to only have them dismiss me and not care for the safety of others. I am most definitely not the first person that owns this model and has been phasing with this safety problem. Please help us out and investigate this matter. This is not ethical practice and we should not be worried about our safety on a manufacturing defect.

I had my vehicle serviced to diagnose a ticking problem I had. I was told that it's an engine issue & known to Hyundai. As I was traveling 177 miles from home, the engine lost power and failed. Thankfully it didn't cause an accident. My engine has less than 100,000 miles!!! this should not happen and every engine that experiences this ought to be replaced through a recall!! probably, most people don't even realize this is a problem and let themselves be taken advantage of.

Car has shut off while driving twice. Engine was replaced in 2021 for the same issues. First incident occurred while attempting to park after driving 40mins second incident occurred while at a red light. The car also has problems starting up.

Rob bearing failure, caused my vehicle to lose power and stall while driving highway speeds almost causing a collision.

Engine light has been on for almost a year with no prior failure or issues after car hit a dangerous pot hole in the road which caused coil packs and spark plug replacements. After the repair, the engine light stayed on for almost a year and the car has been taken to multiple shops and a Hyundai dealer & diagnosed by Hyundai same answer of "maybe" leak and gas cap being loose. Gas cap has been tightened and even replaced few times. Engine light stays on and no one can figure out why . The battery eventually died months later and when battery was replaced engine light came off and then back on days later. Same result from mechanics of not knowing true reason engine light is on. 1 month after battery died alternator went out and no signs of knowing and safety concern because engine light stays on but not indicating true reason. 1 day after alternator went out car begin overheating on and off. The engine alert has still been on and never comes on for true reason which can indicate safety concern. Problems within vehicle is starting to rise back to back . The signs of a leak but unaware to find is a safety issue.

I purchased this vehicle from duncan Hyundai in christiansburg va on 11/13/2021. When I purchased the vehicle it had 90,588 miles on it. I started hearing a knocking sound coming from the engine in late January - early February 2022 only 2-3 months of having the car. The engine light came on and the car was also smoking some. We checked the oil in the vehicle and it was empty. We put a quart in the vehicle to take it to the dealership. We were told that yes, the vehicle in fact did not have any oil in it. I asked them well were did the oil go? is there a leak or something? oil just doesn't disappear like that. The mileage on the car at that time was 93,543. It wasn't even due for an oil change. I was told that this particular vehicle burns oil and every thousand miles & we will have to add a quart to it at that time. We are now monitoring that. I see that Hyundai has an open recall for this same knocking sound and burning oil on the 2019-2020 models. My 2014 is having the same problem and now I will have to take it back and forth to the dealership to make sure they monitor and hopefully eventually fix the problem for me. Again all they said at the moment was add a quart every thousand miles. In a month period (March) I have had to add 2. 5 quarts to the vehicle. The vehicle now has a total of 94,916 miles on it. In a total of 1,373 miles it burned 2. 5 quarts. What the dealership said about a quart every thousand miles was not correct. It has burned double that amount.

But within weeks the frequency of this engine shutdown at medium, slow, fast speeds increased greatly. Now the vehicle does not operational with less than 100,000 miles.

Passing a car on the highway when the Elantra died. Pulled over on the side of the road and all service lights came on. Fire started coming up from the hood. Barely got out of the car before the entire car was engulfed in flames.

The car randomly caught fire while driving on the highway.

While driving the car stalls and you have no steering power or brakes to stop. I was able to coast to get out of the way of oncoming traffic. Restart car again and as I was braking for a stop light the car stopped again. To keep from rear ending another vehicle I had to switch lane and pull off of road. No warning lights came on the car just stopped. The car would start again as if everything is okay, but stall as you slow or come to a stop at a stop light. There is a total of 13 complaints on "car complaints. Com" for this same issue. Below are some of the complaints on this website: "driving the car in town at slow speeds, usually around 15-25 miles an hour, with rpms at about 1250. First noticed an issue with extremely jerky driving, but added gas and the problem went away, and I thought it was a one time thing. About a week later, it happened again. Then, a few days later, the car shut off as I was driving through a parking lot. I set up an appointment with the dealership for a week later. In that week, the car died while driving through town twice, and also as I was driving into work once. It is the smoothest shutoff I have ever experienced, only the engine dies, and it starts right up once I stop and put it in park. I don't even notice the engine turn off until I try to press the gas. " "the car died 4 times, the engine completely shut off. It would throttle by itself at lights or in the drive thru. I could not drive up until no one was in front of me because the car would hesitate then jerk forward. Almost got hit from behind making a right turn because the car would not accelerate with oncoming traffic approaching from behind. " "were on a very busy street and the car just died. Very hot outside, people backed up behind us. Could start the car, but when lift off the break, it would die again. Police helped us push it off the busy road into a parking lot. Our concerns - this is a new car and a part goes bad? one that makes the car quit? what if it had happen.
