general problems of the 2017 Hyundai Elantra - part 2

Check engine lights keep coming on for ignition coils and engine keeps stalling out. This seems to be a common problem and surprise theres no recall. The engine stalling is very dangerous because of the potential to cause a traffic accident. The problem originally started in August and has continue to happen up to date. I have had close calls for a traffic accidents which is very scary. The mechanic said that the issue was recalled but online says something different. I just want this issue fixed and not just patched.

Started having intermittent misfires on various cylinders, specifically cylinder 3. (code p0303) this would mainly cause the engine to stall, or idle. No accidents or injuries to report, but having a car stall out at 80 mph on the freeway is certainly scary as hell. Just frustration and possible damage to other parts of the engine (spark plugs and some wiring). Took vehicle into local auto shop where they reproduced the problem, but informed me of TSB 20-FL-001h, which can only be fixed by a Hyundai dealership due to the ecm reprogramming and the proprietary nature of the tool to perform that. As such I have taken the vehicle to a Hyundai dealership where, again, they were able to find and diagnose the problem, as well as determine the spark plugs were likely fouled by the known-faulty ignition coil packs. This is the third time in 75,000 miles I've replaced them.

The car would die while going down the interstate. It would just shut off and you would have to try to safely get off of the road and shut it off and restart it. 60k? miles on the car. We took it to several places to have diagnostic test run and was told it was this sensor then another sensor. Nothing was fixing the problem. Then was told it was the timing. Ended up 2 cam sprockets had to be replaced. Check engine light did come on. This could be a serious hazard if you were not able to get out of the way of other traffic.

Car stalled out. Parked it on should and 15-20 minutes later smoke started coming from the hood. Then fire from behind the engine.

Rear doors are locked unable to open them from the inside or outside.

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.

Rear door actuators cease to unlatch despite being engaged from the interior and exterior handles to open while unlocked.

The engine stalled out while driving on the highway. No indicator warning lights came on. The vehicle would not restart. Had to be pushed off the road. Prior to the engine, the tire pressure gauge warning indicator light did not work when tire went flat. I was driving on the interstate 23 back end slid. I pulled off the road and the driver side back tire was completely flat. Put on spare tire. All the lights on dash came on . Went straight to tire garage had 2 tires on back put on. The vehicle is at tim short Hyundai dealership in pikeville ky. Has been there since 03/11/2022. The engine problem occurred 02/26/22. I had vehicle taken to carbon auto repair shop in paintsville ky. The mechanic stated the engine would have to be replaced. I called Hyundai dealership and informed what happened. They scheduled an appointment for inspection. Case # 19459076. Case manager is shemroy # is 1-833-462-8722 ext65413. Tim short Hyundai dealership in pikeville ky # is 1-606-437-1300. I have called the dealership several occasions no results or they leave me on the line until it automatically hangs up. They do the case manager same way. I have only had the vehicle for a 1 year and it is only 4years old total. This is a safety hazard. Multiple vehicles were around me both incidents. I have seen recalls on same make and model as my vehicle. I just don't want this to continue to happen. I would appreciate any help. I uploaded emails to show as well as I have several voicemails saved. I just want the right thing done. Also the paint has peeled off hood roof and now the side panels. The vehicle is at dealership in pikeville ky if you would inspected it. Has been there since this occurred.

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.

The contact owned a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 mph there were numerous unknown failure lights illuminated, and the vehicle inadvertently accelerated. While the contact was pressing on the brakes; they were not operating properly, and she ended up pressing them to the floorboard. There was also failure with the headlights. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and diagnosed with no failure. The vehicle was taken to another dealer due to the above failures; in addition to sputtering and jerking while pressing on the accelerator, as if it was not receiving gas. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact did a private diagnosis which indicated electrical system malfunction. The contact was informed to start using a halo battery charger to jump the vehicle. The contact then stated while driving at approximately 40 mph at night, the vehicle started accelerating inadvertently, and she then turned on high beams for better visibility to pull over safely; however they failed. The contact then pulled her emergency brakes and ended in a ditch. All air bags deployed. The contact phone and alert device did not operate. The contact was able to call her son, who called 911. The police, fire, and paramedics arrived on the scene. The fire department cut the contact out of the destroyed vehicle. There were no medical treatments on the scene. The contact was transported to the hospital. The entire driver's side of the vehicle from the front end to the back rear and the entire front of the vehicle was destroyed. The contact experienced a bad concussion and blacked out. The vehicle was towed to the wrecking yard. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 44,000.

My car is rapidly losing oil at an alarming rate and I believe the 2017 Elantras should be a part of the oil consumption recall. For at least over the past year at 111,094 miles, my car needs to have the oil refilled at every 3 week period averaging only 1,000 miles. No check oil light ever comes on, and I am only aware of the fact due to diligently checking my car's oil. Countless mechanics have told me of this issue, that it's not normal to consume this much oil. On other forums hundreds of Hyundai users have stepped forward that they are having the same problem. It was cost me countless repairs and when I did go to Hyundai for arguably the same problem (low oil) under warranty, I was never given a new well functioning engine. I also have reason to believe that Hyundai is well aware of this issue as the 2017 manual states that owners are expected to check oil every 350 miles which is excessive. There needs to be consequences for this indecent operation of business and these customers need to be compensated.

Often times the rear video backup camera built into the car blanks out when reversing, randomly. Dealership said it’s possibly bad wiring but would be expensive to investigate, with me on the hook for paying if they can’t locate the issue. After going two years with this issues intermittently occurring, I was able to get a new camera installed under warranty, as a way to ensure the camera itself is the issue. In the end, blanking out condition is still present. I do check my mirrors often but it’s not safe for this camera to blank out as often as it does. I’m hoping this is an isolated issue but in the case more owners have this concern I’d like NHTSA to investigate the matter and if needed, recall affected vehicles. A family member drove my car and was involved in a minor fender bender, with the family member stating that the back up camera camera blanked out a few times in a couple seconds as another vehicle entering their mirrors blinds spots (directly in back of car) came through. If the camera would’ve been working properly it’s possible my driver wouldn’t have stuck the other vehicle.

The 2017 Hyundai Elantra value edition has issues when and after making left turns the vehicle stalls and loses power causing the cluster to light up. Which can be extremely dangerous when operating the vehicle. There is no check engine light or any indicator that turns on prior on the cluster before the vehicle stalls. The intermediate steering shaft is notorious for going bad and had to have it replaced.

Randomly stall all different times all lights will light up and coast until stopped. Down a hill and to turn it would stall. Go into 8 most serious accidents. I need someone to reach out cuz this car is not safe to drive wit kids at all.

Driving with no signs or dash lights came on to warning me of any issues. Car started acting like it was stalling out one morning parking it at work. Went to leave work had a very slight almost not noticeable knock sound went I started up. Car was acting like it was running harder then usually. Continued home and my car started seizing up and caused my car to stall completely out while driving on the interstate. I was a mile from home, started my car back up and continued to get somewhere safely and out of danger of the interstate. It stalled out multiple times before reaching my driveway. By then my car seized up and was making a loud knocking sound. I push the car into the garage and check the oil and there was no indication of any oil on my dip stick. Went ahead gave my car an oil change earlier then scheduled. 1. 5 quarts of oil only came out and was low almost 4 quarts. No signs of leaking or using oil. No indication dash lights came on to warning me of this issue. With in 3000 mileage of my last oil change, I lost almost 4 quart of oil, no signs or lights and now I have a blown motor in my 5 year old car. This is a huge saftey concern of my, with no indication I had an issue and was stalling out on the interstate/while driving to reach a safe place to look at my car.

The door locks on my Hyundai are not working properly. They do not open from the outside or inside, even though the lock buttons are operational and the key fob is working properly. It is a safety risk that they do not open properly in case of an accident or fire. I've read websites on several internet boards that this is a recurring issue with Hyundai vehicles and this poses a very big risk for owners. The body shop technician I took the vehicle to shared the same concerns about the faulty issues from Hyundai and is still working to resolve the issue part by part. The little cls stopped working almost suddenly, with them opening from the outside after several attempts, to then not opening at all from the outside, to then not opening from the inside or outside. There is no open recall for this issue even though several individuals have reported and is a known defect.

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.

The driver side doesn't not open from outside.

For more than two years, at irregular intervals, the passenger air bag light on the front panel blinks and the associated chime sounds for about two minutes, then stops. This happens with no passenger in the seat. I have asked the dealer (fitzgerald Hyundai in rockville, MD) several times to look into this. My concern is that if the air bag alarm cannot be trusted when there is no passenger, how can it be trusted to work when it needs to? this seems to me to be an unsafe condition. The dealership stated that since the problem occurs intermittently, they cannot determine a cause, and advised me to contact Hyundai motor America and would likely meet with a representative. I contacted the company in July, and was designated case no. 21751470. Over the next two months, in several email communications with "carmen," I was informed that I should take the car to another dealer. I noted that given the intermittent nature of the problem, there was no reason to believe another dealer would have better luck replicating and resolving the issue. That was the total of Hyundai motor America's help. I terminated the case last month.

37k miles. It started with the engine running roughly, so we replaced a coil ourselves. Seemed to fix the issue but a week later there was an intermittent noise from the engine which sounded like a very small exhaust leak (like pffffft). Occasionally, also intermittent, the engine would make a very loud clanky noise. Car shut off without warning while driving <5 mph. Our mechanic said the code was for the 2nd coil, so we replaced all 4 & spark plugs - just to be safe. Two days later, the same noise issues returned and the car shut off twice while driving in a well-trafficked downtown area (5-10 mph). It did not make noise or stall while idling. We had the car towed to the same mechanic, no codes this time. He replicated the issues by letting the car idle for an hour, then driving it 5-10 miles, it made noises and stalled while going up a very slight incline at <5 mph. He said it sounds like something to do with a loss of oil pressure sending the engine out of time, and the loud noise is the crankshaft. I don't know anything about cars and am just repeating what was told to me. At this time he drained some oil and found metal shavings. He said he could look into the problem but he would have to pull the engine and probably take it apart. He didn't want us to waste money trying to diagnose what seems to be a known issue and a blown engine. Also noted that there are few, if any replacement engines out there. In the past few months, I've had a tire sensor malfunction, the radio/media screen go blank multiple times, and the passenger seatbelt notification goes off even when it's just my cell phone and wallet on the seat. All of the electrical issues self-resolved so I didn't even have time to get too annoyed before this major engine failure. Three weeks from the first noise until this point.

Hyundai avoids taking care of their cars by sending out general statements for techs to "fix" these issues but they never do they say I didnt hear it when brought in mulitple suspension electrical issues my husbands 2019 Hyundai eletrical going out. The engine issue all they did was say didnt do it for me. They need to replace all these known issues it is braking down the whole vehichle for both of us. I believe Hyundai is negligent in worrying about the cost of afull recall so they deny anything. I have videos documents, my car went from red gas to green random clicks deterioration. My hubsands car is the only owner engine shudders randomly they do a fake iinvestigation. Hyundai does not care if you die.

We are having the same issue with our 2017 Elantra. Door lock operates just fine but the door won't open from the inside or outside. This is definitely a safety hazard as we have our kids out in the back and need to be able to get them out quickly.

For the people that have the doors that will not lock or unlock there has been a resolution for that and I am surprised that it isn’t on this site. It’s called “ door latch replacement(warranty extension txxl” number 21-bd-006h you can go to any Hyundai dealership and they will replace it free of charge. I had to do my own research since nobody would help me, including this website to find out the information. This is very disappointing that there was no recall or any information to help anybody regarding this situation. Especially since it’s a huge safety issue. Not to mention when it rains my car leaks which could be the cause. I do not know, but I will never buy another Hyundai ever again. The lack of support from anybody is null and void and you are on your own to find the information. So nobody has to do the work I uploaded the file for you.

The passenger side door will not open from the outside if the door has been locked. If the door remains unlocked the door will open from the exterior fine, but after being locked the door will only open from the inside of the car. Others have posted online regarding the same issue.

Both drivers and rear passenger door actuators have gone bad. I see online this is a very common issue and have been told by the dealership that it is as well. They will not cover the costs of repair. Rear shocks are also worn out and have been told by dealership that this is another common issue. Only 3 years old with 39k miles on the car.

While driving the passenger seatbelt alarm goes off and nobody is in the seat. This happens randomly for no reason. Continues to ding until buckled. Air bag engages. Other times it lets me know that the passenger airbag off when empty.

Couple of months ago I couldn't get either of my back doors to open up, from the inside or outside. I took it to the dealership and got it fixed with extended warranty. I made a complaint on here then and noticed others were having the trouble. Now, the front driver side door won't open from the outside. This is bullshit. 3 of my four doors and others having the issue. In fact, there has been 220 complaints on this website about this car and 33 of them are because the doors won't open. There have been 5 in the last month. . . . When does it become hyundia's problem? total bullshit.

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.

Sluggish, shaky and not acceleration engine light comes on intermediately. Code came up p0301. Changed spark plugs, sensor, inclined the catalytic converter two times. Still the problem persists. Took to Hyundai dealership they said one of four coil packs was going out. The problem was intermittent and the light for the engine was not on. The dealership told me the engine light had to be on to diagnose the problem. Then I found out the agent coil packs had an older style and they wanted me to buy their newer style the part number is 27300 - 2e601. They wanted $700 to put in the newer style coil packs. This issue should be a recall since my car was only 3 years old when the problem started.

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.

The doors wouldn't unlock, then decided to unlock. The vehicle will only make this loud clicking noise. The battery tests good. The headlights and taillights keep coming on and off even though the vehicle is not on at all. All switches are tuned off and it's not in accc mode. Had to disconnect battery and wait for tow truck.

Tpms malfunction indicator light is on. Car is shaking . Engine light was on.

Both back doors would not open. They would not open from the outside or inside. Major safety issue. I took to shop and they said it was acutator or something like that. Cost over $650 to fix. I had the extended warranty so I got it fixed, "free". But others may not be so lucky. Never been in wreck, completely not my fault at all.

My back door on the driver side does not open at all from inside or out but the window still works, and the passenger side front door only opens from the inside.

The doors in the 2017 Elantra model stopped working, they do not open from the outside handle and sometimes they do not open from the inside either.
