Car Stall problems of the 2017 Hyundai Elantra

Car stalled on highway on 11-01-2020, passed both inspections on 8-29-2020. Purchased car on 9-1-2020 through drivetime. I have inspection paper work from buyer showing everything passed. Changed oil on 10/14/2020 through jiffylube with only the air filter being the only issue flagged.

The car would stall in the middle of driving, the most recent time on a major highway. The vehicle stalls with no reason at all. This incident has happened 5 or 6 times with no help from the dealer as they have not found the issue. This vehicle is unsafe to drive.

While driving, engine would turn off while driving. As I attempted to accelerate the engine would be off (no acceleration) and the engine, oil, and battery lights would come on. Dashboard electronics and radio would stay on. Put the car in park, turn it off, turn it back on - no dashboard lights on and the car now drives as normal. All instances happened while vehicle was in motion on city streets, most instanced happened while the vehicle was turning. The first time this happened I took it to Hyundai lakeland. They said it was because I had low oil (no oil indicator light had been on). "fixed" it by doing an oil change. All subsequent oil changes have been done at Hyundai lakeland. 8 months later I experienced the same problem. Car taken to Hyundai lakeland. Diagnosed as bad sensors in the engine (sending incorrect information about when the engine needs power) and a bad crankshaft (as a result of the stalling and bad sensors). Because of the multiple occasions that this has occurred and the different diagnoses that it has had from the same dealership, I am unsure if this issue has been taken care of with the last repair. An engine that turns off while the vehicle is in motion creates a dangerous situation of the driver and others as the vehicle ceases forward motion. I have been lucky that this issue has not resulted in a traffic accident.

Purchased a Hyundai Elantra 2017 from a dealership on July 7, 2020. The 2nd day it stalled on me feeling like it's in neutral with engine light on. I returned to the dealership and they replace the ignition coil as and said they ordered a part to return in 2 wks. This had something to do with the airbag under the passenger seat. They kept the car another 2 weeks. I was happy when they called that it was ready. Each time I had to pay the 2 tolls to go to them in jersey. Before I got on the garden state good, the car started shaking, couldn't go over 45 mph with the engine light on again. I returned it. They kept it 2 weeks. I have my car with the engine light on still and called to complain but unable to reach a manager each time. I used up over $200 of toll money which I used up plus getting someone to take me to drop off or pick up the car had to pay for gas and toll. Produced the e-zpass receipts and everything and every time I go and ask for the refund, the owner is never there. I do not want to have my new car break down with me in the middle of winter. I requested a list of the things that were done to try to resolve the engine light issue several times even from the salesman who does not take my calls or when he does, he don't know what to tell me. Said he'll ask and get back to me. No response. The first day I paid for the car and we were happy to be going home, my daughter and I noticed the front bumper all broken up and it wasn't like that when we inspected and chose it before paying. The salesman sal said there's nothing he can do about that as I already paid for the car and must accept it that way. I brought it to a saleswoman attention the last time I went to pick up my car and they only said the manager/owner will reach out to me. Never heard from them. Still didn't receive plates. I feel like they took advantage of me as a senior citizen.

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.

Engine will spontaneously shut off without notice while driving or stationary. This has happened on the street and on the freeway. There is no notice prior to call stalling (engine shutting). Car must be placed in neutral or park and then restarted. Car was taken to Hyundai dealership for full diagnostic with no findings.

My vehicle is a 2017 Hyundai Elantra with 41,000 miles. I am the second owner. On December 3rd, 2019, I was driving vehicle car approximately 60 mph on the highway in traffic. As my foot was pressing on the accelerator, the vehicle began to slow down, and the rpm needle began to bounce around. I pulled my vehicle off to the side of the road and restarted the vehicle. The engine light was not on. At this point the dealership was not open and the engine light was not on, so I decided to wait till the morning to contact the Hyundai dealership. As I drove home, I stopped at a red light and the vehicle began to stall. I pulled the car into the nearest parking lot and left it there overnight. The Hyundai shop kept my vehicle two days. They gave me a loaner car for the second day, so I did not miss another day at work. They stated the issue was �faulty ignition coils� and replaced the wires. It was covered under manufactures warrantee thankfully. Today, December 12th, I got in my vehicle to go to work and the vehicle shook when I started it. The engine light came on immediately and I called the maintenance shop. They had a loaner for me waiting, and I am now waiting to hear what is wrong with it this time. I have put on approximately 400 miles on the vehicle in the last 4 days.

My engine light came on several times the car starts to act like it's going to stall then the engine light comes on there is like no power to the car a year ago I was driving up a overpass and my car stalled and the engine light came on I seriously could of got killed I want answers to why the engine light and the car starts to break down apparently I feel it's the engine or the power system is failing .
