I boughtbmy car and anoit 1 month after it started having a ticking noise. Also the car will kinda stall when I'm getting on the highway where I can't get over 45 mph. Also the symbol with the (!) keep coming on and then blinking really fast. And the front end kinda shakes when it does that.
I purchased this car new. The engine has stalled while trying to accelerate several times since I have had this car. This started the first year or so that I had it. Hyundai has checked while under warranty and said there is nothing wrong. Once I was told that the computer needed to be reset. I have had regular maintenance over the life of the car. There are now just over 110,000 miles on the car. I recently was driving on a secondary road a few blocks from home. The car made a screeching sound, almost stalled, and then there was an engine ticking noise. No warning lights came on. I had it towed to a local mechanic that I trust. I was told that I would need new engine because it sounded like there was loose metal in the engine. I have also read that this is a common issue in Hyundai 2. 0l engines. This car has mostly highway miles on it. It has been well maintained and has always had the oil changed before the manufacturer's recommended mileage. I think this engine should still be covered as if it is under warranty. It is possible that not enough of the Elantra gt (I think most people buy the coupe which has a different engine) have been sold to create a recall. It is also possible that many of the ones that have been purchased have been traded in. Over the past 3 to 4 years, I have received numerous letters and cards from Hyundai. They specifically said that they needed me to trade in my Elantra gt and they would offer me top dollar on a trade in or trade up. I now think they wanted my car back because they knew this engine had problems and hoped they could just sell me a different car. I just paid this car off and intended to drive it several more years. This is a faulty engine. No car that has been maintained should have this happen. I still have a Jeep I bought in 1994 with over 200k miles and it runs great! this engine should be recalled or at least investigated.
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.
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.
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.
The engine started making a ticking noise as early as 40k miles. It ran ok and I was lead to believe this was "normal" from the dealership. I maintained the vehicle as required until 88k while noticing more and more oil was being consumed. After slowing down and turning from a highway on to a county road, the automatic vehicle began to shift erratically and could not go faster than 40mph and then the engine turned off. I managed to get to the side of the road while this occurred. The engine started, but driving but the gears would not shift properly causing the engine to stall. In the dealership, the diagnosis was a new engine. I am the second owner and was told there was initially nothing could be done under warrantee with the mileage (while suggesting I must have went way too long between oil changes. . . . . Not even close to correct). The dealership made an appeal to Hyundai and offered to pay for half of the cost of a new engine. So I am supposed to be happy paying only $4200. The new engine does not have a ticking sound and I highly suspect that was the start of the problem before. I'm seeing the "ticking" sound in many of the complaints and can't believe a recall still hasn't been issued for this. I don't trust this car or Hyundai to do the right thing on their own.
Tl the contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Elantra. While driving at unknown speeds, the vehicle lost power and made an abnormal ticking noise. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the engine block needed to be replaced. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 101,000.
I have noticed that the sound coming from the engine is delayed kinda, almost like its not getting enough air at the right time . My car will have a hard time accelerating and it will hit high rmps then shift. I have to just slow down before the shift cause sometimes it scares me. I hear a ticking sound sometime but that could be music. My breaks are really touchy and sometime seem to have no traction when I need it most. All these things happen when I am driving. When I am trying to accelerate or break I can fill some kind of pull from behind the car.
