When driving at low speeds(20mph and under) vehicle stalls. It appears to happen at random. It makes driving pretty dangerous for other vehicles that would not be able to tell the vehicle has stalled and hit me at low speeds. All electrics stay on, there is no check engine light. The problem first appeared after ignition lock was broken, even before replaced it started stalls at low speeds, seems to possibly happen more after engine is warmed up.
My 2017 Elantra with 107,000 miles (it has a 100,000 mile powertrain warranty) on it has just experienced the same issue as all of the other Hyundais that have been recalled. I was driving on xmas evening 2024 and started hearing my engine making noises I had not heard before when excellerating but then they would go away. On my way home the check engine light went on for a couple of minutes but then went off and I was able to get home although the car did not seem to be riding well. The next day, the check engine light went on again and so I brought it in to my mechanic. He said that there were metal fragments/shavings in my oil that were clogging my engine, etc. He said that I need a new engine and said he had several other Elantras with the same issue and that I should take it to a Hyundai dealer because of all of their recalls/class action lawsuits which extend warrantees, etc. For the same exact issue. I was able to drive the car there but it was not a safe drive. Their assessment was basically that I need most of my powertrain replaced to the tune of $4100. 00 but once they get in there, it might be more extensive and end up having to be replaced. However, they did not say anything about the metal fragments and when I brought it up to them, they acted like they didn't see them. However, my mechanic (with no skin in the game) said they were all over the place in my car's oil. So, I am a little wary that they decided to skate that issue, since it is the basis for all of their class actions, etc. I'm kind of stuck, Hyundai has my car and it really isn't drivable. I've checked many Elantra forums and have seen that this is happening to many other 2017 hyundi Elantra se even though they have not yet been added to the recalls/class actions, etc. I really think that the Hyundai engine issue is more widespread than just the cars on the current list and I hope that this is looked into as it is extremely dangerous and comes on very quickly without warning.
Have a raw fuel smell every time I park my car.
Since January 2024 I have had issues with my car starting due to low oil. I just had an oil change so I knew something was wrong. The repair shop stated there were no leaks and put more oil in and said that sometimes the car will not start if there is not enough oil. February 2024 and the car wont start again. Filled it with oil and took it to the shop again. They stated that the engine is eating the oil and to take it to the dealer for a test. Since then the car has turned off multiple time both while idling and while on the freeway. When you hit the gas it will not accelerate either. In the past I was able to turn the car off and back on again and it would work just fine but now it seems more frequent. Also, while driving when experiencing these issues I have had the stereo screen shut off and restarted by itself. At times the slippery when wet alert will also show on the dashboard which has been a sign for me that they car is going to act up so I turn it off right away and back on then it runs.
Loss of engine power, car shuts abruptly off while driving. Increases the risk of a crash and death. Less than a year after I purchased my car from the dealer. My check engine light would turn on and off frequently. Secondary mechanics couldn’t diagnosis problem engine check would show unnecessary/ different codes. Car burns oil at a very fast rate. Shut of three times while driving yesterday on the lie. I am scared for myself and my families safety. I can’t afford a new engine or car. Please help the 2017 electra se has many recalls for make and model. My VIN isn’t under recall.
Car will lose power and quit suddenly on the highway with no warning lights. It has happened twice in the last month on a trip both times. Light’s low beam randomly won’t turn on either but high beams work. Had it into the Hyundai dealership and another mechanic shop but cannot find the problem.
For the past two weeks, the car has intermittently stalled out and the engine, oil, and battery lights come on. The dashboard electronics and radio stay on. When this happens, I have to put the car in park and turn it off, then turn it back on. It has restarted immediately each time and drives normally. It has stalled out multiple times in a day, but not everyday. I took it to my mechanic twice to pull an error code from the warning lights, but he could not. My safety and the safety of others were put at risk when it stalled out while I was deaccelerating on an exit ramp that merges with three other lanes. I could have been hit from behind by others exiting the interstate highway or hit on either side of my car from drivers switching lanes at that junction. It stalled out the same day in the middle of a roundabout, where drivers yield and merge at 30 mph. I've noticed that when it stalls out, I'm usually braking or the vehicle is turning. The car is currently at the mechanic, who has not yet been able to reproduce the stalling and warning lights, but he did pull a diagnostic trouble code: p010600; description: manifold absolute pressure/barometric pressure circuit range/performance. He's not sure if it's a faulty sensor or if something is causing the trouble code since the warning lights weren't on with the code. The car has not yet been inspected by the dealership or others.
It has happened multiple times over the years that when I press the gas pedal to go, the car does not go or does not accelerate. Several times it has happened when attempting to make a left turn. So the car goes enough to get me in the way of the intersection but not very fast so I have been nervous that I might get hit. Generally stomping the pedal a second time gets it to move, but it is unnerving. I'm including the most recent date this has happened in the next part.
The car randomly dies on DE-acceleration. It gives no warning and I have seen online this is a known issue with this year/model. I have 55,000 miles on it, it's been regularly serviced. When I got to slow down then start to accelerate it shuts off. I've nearly been hit multiple times going to merge from a stop. It's very dangerous. I've replaced all 4 spark plugs, all 4 ignition coils, air filter, cabin filter, oil filter, pcv valve and I've only owned it 6 months. No engine light comes on and no reader is picking up any codes. I'm at a loss as to what causes this.
Since buying my vehicle new, it has had three ignition coils fail at different times. The car begins to shudder, rough idle, not accelerate and all of a sudden just will not respond to giving it gas. This happens at any speed therefore it is a danger especially entering or exiting highways or switching lanes. It has been unpredictable. The check engine light does come on some of the time as this problem is occurring, not before. The dealer replaced the first two coils (51, 576 miles and 56, 446 miles) under the warranty. The third coil replaced (78, 391 miles), they would not cover under warranty, nor would they replace the 4th coil as a precaution.
I’ve been having problems with my timing chain and power train for over a year. Got the timing chain fixed and now all I’m seeing is new problems with bad ignition coils and spark plugs and transmission problems. I’ve only had this car for 4 years and keep the maintenance up to date.
I am the owner of a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. I bought the car for my daughter for transportation to and from school and work. As her boyfriend was driving on a 3-lane highway in heavy traffic, the car would no longer accelerate, and the steering wheel locked. The engine just stopped and seized up. The car lost all power and steering capability. He rolled the car into the left-hand turn lane. A police officer pulled up about 30 seconds later, said that he was obstructing traffic, and to move the car out of the turn lane. Her boyfriend had to push the car across the median, and 3 lanes of traffic, to get to the opposite side of the highway's shoulder, by himself. When he nearly had the car off of the road, on the opposite side of the highway, a pedestrian approached and helped him finish pushing it out of the road. This could have caused a major car accident, or someone could've been killed or injured while pushing the car. I have moved one hour away from my daughter, so I cannot provide her with a ride to and from school and work. She and I are stuck paying $301. 18/mo on a car that is inoperable; it's just sitting and rotting at her apartment complex. We are also stuck paying $135. 87/mo for her car insurance on a car that is inoperable. Also, this model year, 2017, has a problem with peeling paint too. The car has missing paint patches all over. Previously, at just 51,000 miles, the car had stalling problems. The car would just shut off while driving. It was repaired at Hyundai. When we got it back, it was still doing the same thing, and had to go back in again for service at Hyundai. I filed a formal complaint with Hyundai consumer affairs. Hyundai should have already issued recalls for these problems that many people are experiencing. I've been doing research and have found that this year and model Hyundai is very problematic. They are refusing to take responsibility by not issuing recalls on these recurrent problems that they're aware of.
This is a very unsafe vehicle. There should be a recall!!!! this is a well known problem, yet huyndai and nthsa does nothing. How many people will be involved in an accident or killed before you do something? this vehicle has been having check engine light come on multiple times in past month. When it does the whole car shudders/shakes , and won't accelerate. There is also a knocking. This is an accident waiting to happen! first time I took it in was to a firestone shop as huyndai had no opening for weeks. I drive 60 miles 1 way for my job, so couldn't wait for huyndai. Firestone said it was misfiring, and that it was very low on oil. They couldn't get it to duplicate the incident, so couldn't figure out the problem. An oil change was done. Multiple times in next 2 weeks the light would come on, then sometimes go off with no other issues, but sometimes the same knocking sounds and shaking. I took it back to firestone and they determined a coil needed to be replaced and a spark plug. And in that short of time the oil was seriously low again. These fixes were done. The next day after picking it up, same issues!!!! firestone won't work on it now as they don't know what else to do. We have an appointment with huyndai but not until sept. 12th. What am I supposed to do???? take a chance of dying every day to get to work? I can't afford a rental for the next few weeks until huyndai can look at it. This is so unfair. Why haven't you made huyndai recall and fix this very well known issue? please help!.
Vehicle loses all acceleration when making turns or coasting slowly. Only way to restore acceleration is to put vehicle in park and turn the key into the off position and then restart the car.
Hyundai Elantra 2017 just starts shaking. First time it happened when I turned on the car (check engine light came on but went off again after restarting it). Second time it started shaking while driving on highway and almost caused an accident. I pulled off and restarted car and shaking stopped. Both cases the engine light came on but didn’t stay on for me to get it checked. I believe this to be a very common problem. Hearing a lot about faulty coils and spark plugs that lead to much worse problems. Also, both back doors will not open. I’ve been told this is due to a bad plastic part inside door that commonly breaks. Hyundai will not take responsibility for either. This is very unfortunate and causing a ton of problems for many people!.
While driving on highway the vehicle quit running and would not restart. It seemed it lost power prior to completely dying. Check engine light came on when starting and had some hesitation but started then once on highway stalled out. Paint is also coming off hood color is pearl white.
My Hyundai Elantra 2017 died while driving on the highway. Started with hesitation when accelerated and died on the highway. The vehicle would not restart.
Bad ignition colis poor fuel economy: if you notice that your car is getting less mileage from a full tank than normal, this could mean that you have a bad ignition coil. This takes place because, when your, spark plugs aren’t getting a certain power, the system will try to compensate by taking more fuel. Hard starts and stalling: the ignition needs to spark at just the right time for the engine to start and a vehicle to run. If an ignition coil is malfunctioning and not delivering the required voltage to the spark plugs, you will find it hard to start the engine. Misfiring engine: a malfunctioning ignition coil will cause your vehicle to misfire when you accelerate. In some other cases, a misfire could cause your vehicle to shut down while you are driving.
Unknown. Car randomly wasn’t a to shut off and check engine light comes on only when gas pedal is pressed. Had taken to dealership to get fixed but it still happens.
My 2017 Hyundai Elantra has problems with the ignition coil packs, sensors and engine. The car stalls at lights. It idles very rough and shakes when driving. Acts as if it will stall on the highway and extremely slow acceleration. Dealer told me there was metal parts in my oil, oil was thick sludge and that I never changed the oil. False and I have the oil change receipts to prove my oil changes. I have taken the car to the dealer numerous times for the stalling and no acceleration problems. Dealer can never get the codes or replicate the issues.
A few months after getting the car the engine kept stalling the engine light would only turn on after stalling each time I have brought it to multiple Hyundai dealerships they keep saying it's just a spark plug issue. It's frustrating since once off the lot a week later it's randomly stalling again. This never fixed the issue. The car has stalled both on roads, roundabouts and freeways causing me to nearly be in crashes multiple times, I do not feel safe driving this car. The car is in motion and the engine just stops the car stalls and then the engine light comes on. I had been able to start it and get it moving it's random when the engine stalls. Today I took it to another car repair center they said the engine had a ton of metal particles and chunks, like the engines on the 2014 Elantra�s. They suggested I file a report to the NHTSA and bring it to the dealership as there is no way a engine or piston should look this bad and that the metal pieces look like they are from the manufacturing process. I'm not sure why the dealerships never checked the engine completely regarding this issue they could have seen the metal fragments earlier. I'm worried that I won't be lucky on the road next time the engine stalls and I'm worried about others having the same issue. I'm worried about my safety and others when driving. Please do not hesitate to contact me regarding more information.
2017 Hyundai Elantra car started stalling at red lights and when stopping. Almost crashed twice. It starts back up. It started 10\12\20. It happened a few times and then the check engine light came on with code p3006. About 20 miles it went off. This is very dangerous and needs to be fixed. A lot of people is complaining about the same issue. It need to be recalled and repaired.
In February 2020, my check engine light came on after my car began to shake violently and lose speed as I drove on the city streets and highways. The serviceman replaced the coils in my car. Within a week, my car started to shake and lose speed again. I took it back to the dealership where they "fixed" it again to no avail. In early March, my car was still experiencing the same problems: shaking violently and losing speed as I drove on both the highway and on city streets. I chose to try a different service center. They attempted to find a problem with my car by running the codes, but he said that nothing popped up on the screen. I told him that my check engine light flashes on and off when I put my foot on and off of the accelerator. He sent me on my way without fixing my car, but he told me to bring my car back into the service center without shutting off my car as soon as the check engine light comes on the dashboard. He told me that this was important, because it would help them be able to detect the issue. Within 15 minutes of pulling off of the parking lot, my check engine light flashed back on and my car began to shake and lose speed again. I turned around immediately and took my car back. They flushed out the fuel line system. Within two weeks, I brought my car back for the same thing, but the serviceman told me that he could not find any issues since the computer showed no issues. Every time I take my car into a Hyundai repair center, they tell me that they cannot detect any issues with my car, although I tell them that my car begins to shake and lose speed randomly. It is now sept. 2020, and I am still having the same issues. I am scheduled to take my car into a new Hyundai service center in a new state. This is a dangerous car problem that threatens the safety of me and other drivers on the road. Hyundai needs to take action now!.
The car has been stalling since last February, mostly during turns, and while deaccelerating. Sometimes it idles rough and stalls at traffic lights. I took it to my dealer back then, and they told me the problem was caused by metal shavings from the engine plugging the valve that regulates fuel. I had performed regular oil changes and the dealer believed that the problem was caused by a manufacturing defect. The dealer contacted Hyundai, and Hyundai refused to remedy the defect. The problem temporarily goes away if I get an oil system flush, which I have been doing frequently. After about a month, the car begins stalling again, presumeably because the shavings are plugging the valve again. The car has become difficult to start. This morning it would not start at all.
My car will completely shut off when traveling at a slow speed. I could be cruising to a red light and the car will completely shut off. Traffic on the interstate and I need to slow down. . . You can bet my car will shut off. Going up a hill. . . My car will completely shut off. I was almost in an accident two days ago; as I slowed down to travel up a small hill to the parking garage, my car shuts off and the car behind me had to slam on breaks. Each time I have to put the car in park and restart the car. This is not a fuel saving issue as Hyundai doesn't not offer that technology/option. This is a serious safety concern as the car stalls when traffic is expected to be moving. I have now taken my car in twice for this issue.
Bought this car from a dealer ship with 40,000 miles it now has 70,000 miles in between 40k & 70k it's been shaking loss of power no acceleration horrible on fuel . . I've change spark plugs ignition coil mass air flow sensor and still gives me check engine light and still saying p304 which is a misfire in cylinder 4 I just don't know what to do anymore Hyundai want a to charge me to take it in diagnosed it and I just don't have the cash for this car please help if anyone knows anything else bout this caelr thanks.
I first experienced the problem 08/14/18 driving home from work on i295n, the check engine light came on and the car didn't want to accelerate. On 08/16/18 the same problem occurred but this time it lasted until I made it late that evening. I took it to Hyundai of orange park 08/17/18 here in jacksonville and the problem could not be duplicated. As I was driving to work 08/22/18 my car started doing the same thing only this time you could feel the vibration of the car not wanting to accelerate and the check engine would go off as I'm changing gears and soon as I am done shifting it stays illuminated. I called the service center again and she says to bring it back in for testing and they can only fix it if they can duplicate the problem. I am very uncomfortable with driving this vehicle in traffic not knowing if it will cutoff and I am hit.
The car hesitates, jerks and pulls at the acceleration moment when stoped. Foor instance im ligths or traffic jams. It causes a completely lost of power and terrible shaking. This happens after 20mins drive and the goes for the rest of the day, it is more evident driving in city.
When attempting to accelerate after turning corner, vehicle almost stops, then surges ahead. This occurs intermittently and also when pulling away from stop light.
