I noticed a slight ticking sound at around 63,000 miles in my 2015 Hyundai Elantra while my car was idling. I had the vehicle diagnosed by an ase certified mechanic. They determined a knocking/pinging in the area of cylinder number one on the passenger side of the vehicle. Oil has always been changed around 3,000 miles. The sounds has progressively gotten worse and has become a loud knocking sound with loss of power. The vehicle has about 70,000 miles on it now and the engine is starting to fail more. The loud knocking sound is constant from idle through acceleration. I was curious if other people had this same issue so I did some research. Many cars with the same make and model were recalled for the same issue I'm having. Im afraid the engine is going to seize soon while driving and I'm concerned for my safety. I do not know what to do with this problem now. I don't think a car should be doing this at 70,000 miles.
Engine had a clicking noise, car died while driving. Brakes and steering wheel did not operate. Car rolled until it got slow enough to pull the emergency brake.
The vehicle engine started knocking around 80,000 miles. At 101000 miles the engine had a catastrophic failure. The vehicle had terrible loud knocking and crunching noises with very little power. This happened on the interstate going 70mph. The knocking issue had been brought up several times to allen turner Hyundai in pensacola, FL and ignores. The service staff told me it was because I was not getting the oil changed (I stopped going to them because of their terrible customer service). Once I produced receipts proving them wrong they said that I wasn't getting it changed often enough even though I got it changed according to the time frame they told and what was stated in the owners manual. They eventually agreed to fix it for $500 after having to get loud and obnoxious with everyone up to the general manager. It was one of the most stressful situations I've ever had. The vehicle still had $10,000 owed on the loan. Even after the issue was corrected the car never got back to working well at all. To get rid of it I had to lease a vehicle for nearly $600 a month to rid myself of the negative equity. Buyer beware.
Its a loud crackling ticking noise that comes from my 2015 Hyundai Elantras engine. When I drive the the ticking turns into knocking and the car shuts off completely in motion. I have looked online to see what this issue could be. I've read countless statements about this issue. Hyundai needs to step up to the plate and acknowledge this is a urgent manufacturing issue that needs to fixed immediately.
I bought my 2015 Hyundai Elantra from the carmax in oak lawn illinois in September of 2018 and since then I've experienced a few problems with the vehicle and carmax is only telling me that it was a plastic bag on the exhaust pipe and that it will burn off on its own. I took the car into them on April 17, 2019 and today is may 14, 2019 and I'm almost positive that it doesn't take a whole month for a bag to burn off an exhaust pipe. Also I have a complaint about my brake system, when I brake the car acts like it's stalling and it makes a clicking noise as if the car is on ice and the extra brake is helping the vehicle to stop. I know this isn't supposed to happen this way. I have 3 children that travel in this vehicle everyday and I can't drive a faulty vehicle and something happens to them while driving it.
Very loud ticking noise from engine. Would not stop when car was warmed up as I was originally told by the dealer in the fall or 2018. Continually got louder and louder and I knew it was not right. Took to dealer have been told needs a brand new engine. Faulty pistons.
My engine began making a clicking noise in January 2019. I didn't think much of it. Then the check engine light, the oil pressure light and the battery light all would start flashing when I was driving and my engine would die. I took it to my car dealership, who said they couldn't tell me what was wrong with it, but that it was covered under my warranty so they are replacing it. I have looked online and noticed many other people with the same problem. I don't know much about cars but I do know that an engine totally dying at 58,000 is not good. They did mention that they would check the oil for metal shavings. I looked that up online, which happens when an engine is poorly made and the motors are scraping against each other, producing metal shavings, which then go through the entire engine through the oil. Every time the engine died I was driving on a side street, going about 30 mph.
One morning I started my car like any normal day and there was a ticking sound. It was cold out that morning so I didn't think much of it but I took it to get its oil changed the next day and thats they told me that it was something internal and I should take it to a dealer. I took it to a dealer and they told me that there was an engine knock and that the only way to fix it was to basically get a new engine.
My 2015 Elantra started to make a ticking noise while parked and while accelerating at 50,000 miles. There was no noticeable change in driving performance and no dashboard lights turned on. Within a week I brought it to a Hyundai dealer for an oil change and to diagnose the noise. I was told the oil had metal shavings in it and the engine needed to be replaced. I have had regular maintenance and oil changes prior to this.
Engine started making a ticking noise with no indication of a problem. Ran fine and no check engine light. Took vehicle to dealer and they found metal shavings in oil, caused from either a bad main or rod bearing. Car had 37,000 miles and the oil was changed every 3,000 miles.
