Back doors will not open. Called dealership and said there is no warranty to cover having them fixed and it will be over $1000 to have the problem corrected. Driving down the road the car shut off and started smoking. It says the car is on and running but it is not.
I purchase this vehicle in 7/2018 and had it for just over 2years and the vehicle started stalling and stopping then soon just shut down as I was driving. After getting it tow home and had a mechanic look at it. I was told the engine was bad and it was not fixable. I'm have a car I'm financing and can't use the care again. I have contact Hyundai for over a week now and no one have response. My case manager will not call me back on this. I have a case number and call everyday and all I get it rude supervisor who do not care.
Was driving on interstate 287 w when the car shut down. There was no warning light. I had to quickly try to get the car to the shoulder. There was a burning smell when the car shut down. The Elantra was bought new and I only owned it for 5 months. I called aaa and they towed us to their gas station in NY. From there, another tow truck took us to the Mazda repair location, in NJ, which does repairs for the Hyundai dealer. They put oil in the car and then realized that there was no oil in the car. They stated we needed a new engine and it would take one month to order and install. Only two weeks earlier, we went to that same repair location for a 5,000 mile check up where they did an oil change. Nothing was wrong with the car. I am 88 and very lucky I knew what to do when the car shut down. I hope this does not happened to a new driver.
