My fuel pump comes up and my check engine light saying that it needs to be replaced when I fill up my car it automatically resets my mileage for aaa and trippy and it will tell me that I have no gas even though I just filled up or it will say I’m full when I know I’m empty so it’s not reliable. It comes and goes. And then for an electrical issue my car will randomly stop working and then like come back up and it was underneath the positive plug. There is a clip that someone had to extend because it was too short and causing electrical surges so it’s still a problem if I go over a bump it gets loose so that clip under the positive terminal I believe is loose and makes my car shut off in the middle of driving at once and then it came right back on.
Just driving down the road and the drivers side front window fell down. I tried to push the switch for to make it go lback up because it was windy and rainy. It just made the window drop down more. I was wondering if anyone else has had this complaint . It’s pulled back up and taped but it won’t go back up and tape keeps coming loose. It’s expensive to fix . I also fixed my trunk latch which was on a recall because when I called the dealer at that time there was no recall on it. I was stuck at walmart and it wouldn’t close. The dealer wanted over 700 to fix trunk latch so I bought the part to fix it but I am checking to see if anyone else has complained on the window motor .
Clockspring failure. 2016 Hyundai Elantra, 123k miles. Airbag light on, horn does not function. Likely unavailable for inspection due to being replaced soon. Inability to use horn to alert reckless drivers swerving into my lane. Airbag will not deploy if needed in an accident. The dealership seemed aware that the clocksprings go out in Hyundai's and is confident this is the issue. Warning lamp prior/at the same time as the horn stopped working.
My Elantra stalled while driving twice the other day. The first time I occurred on a highway inter belt and the second occurred in slow moving traffic. I had the car evaluated by 2 different repair shops. Both said they could not reduplicate the problem or find any malfunctioning codes. No warning lights appeared when the car stalled. I had this happen before last fall. I had it repaired. They changed spark plugs, performed engine oil system purge, serviced fuel injector and air induction and realigned tires. Until the day before yesterday, the car performed well. In researching my car issue, I have learned that this is a top complaint of many 2016 Elantra owners.
My Hyundai Elantra started completely shutting off while I was driving. This happened on multiple occasions like in slow traffic and while going high speeds on the highway. This is scary and dangerous when my toddler child is in the car. I took it to 3 different mechanics and no one can find any codes or anything wrong with it---but it continues to happen and put my life and my daughters life at risk. I have seen so many people complaining of the same thing--but nothing has happened? this last dealership has had my car for 3 weeks (and counting) but still cannot find the issue. I have about 125,000 miles on the car.
Car stutters at low speed.
The engine stalled after fluctuating power from the throttle and accelerator. The engine began making a knocking sound as I tried to bring the vehicle off to the side of the road with a loss of engine power. No warning lights or indicators displayed on the dashboard the indicated the engine was malfunctioning. This malfunction or engine defect caused a serious decrease in speed which impeded the flow of traffic leading to to the chances of being in an accident or having the engine explode without warning. This vehicles malfunction jeopardized my safety, my passengers, and the other drivers on the road.
I was driving my vehicle damages stop accelerating the check engine light battery light and all light all came on in a vehicle just came to a complete stop and did not let me restart the vehicle. This has happened to me a second time.
Engine code: p0335 crankshaft position sensor 'a' circuit severe issue consequences of continued driving - rough running - possible misfire - may not start in my case I was at work and it wouldn’t start at all. It ended up having to be towed. Had the battery tested and it was fine then I bought a “fixd” sensor and it told me the problem.
My car is a push start n it will not turn off . . I out the bottom to turn it off but the engine is still constantly running it won't turn off.
The car does not turn over when you initially start car you have to turn the key back and try starting again it has been consistently doing this for over a year and no mechanic can figure out what the problem is. Other than that there is no issues with the driving.
Hi. . . I own 11 Elantra's. 4-2013, 3-2016, 2-2018, 1-2019, 1-2020. I own a driving school. They all have a problem with burning out light bulbs, headlights ,side markers and tail lights. I am replacing bulbs 2 to 3 times a week. I also had to replace sockets because they melted. The plastic holders for the headlights and the center brake light also melted. I would like to know if there is a remedy for this or one in the process. I also have a complaint on why it so difficult to remove the headlight bulbs.
Started ascending over a bridge when car started to putter. Then smoke came out of the tailpipe. Power flickered then went off. Was able to coast to the side of the road. Turned off the car and it was smoking. Looked underneath the car and saw dripping fluid then a spark. That is when the car caught on fire.
When car is slowing at intersection, car will shake violently and completely shut down. Once car is put in park and key is taken out, car starts up immediately. Has happened 5 times over the course of 2 weeks. Seems like I have to put more pressure on gas pedal to go even slightly faster.
While driving the clock will start to flash then the headlights will flash as the radio/clock flashes. If head lights are off the light by gauges will start flashing making a clicking noise, the battery light will sometimes come on and flash also. If I turn the air on the flashing will stop. This has happened about 6 times in the last two weeks.
