general problems of the 2017 Hyundai Elantra - part 1

Was traveling at 5mph in traffic. Pressed the brake to stop, and my car kept rolling. I pressed the foot pedal brake many many times without stopping. I pulled the emergency brake and I still didn’t stop. I came to rest on the back bumper of a semi truck in front of me.

My eps, abs and electronic stability control lights all came on at once and my steering wheel went stiff while driving on interstate.

The vehicle has experienced ongoing powertrain and electrical malfunctions over several months. The most common symptoms include being stuck in 4th gear (limp mode), complete loss of rpm and speedometer readings, and illumination of the check engine and esc lights. Most recently, while traveling at approximately 10 mph, the vehicle experienced a sudden loss of both acceleration and braking. The brake pedal became stiff and unresponsive, and the car had to coast to a stop without driver control. This posed a serious safety risk to myself and nearby traffic. These issues have persisted across multiple service visits to ricart Hyundai in groveport, ohio. That dealership has replaced the crankshaft position sensor three times, the powertrain control module (pcm), and the battery, but the underlying problems remain unresolved. A technician at the dealership was able to reproduce the stalling event during a test drive. Despite that, the dealership has refused to proceed with further diagnostics unless I pay for an oil change, even though previous inspections by their own staff found no visible leaks and confirmed the oil level was sufficient at the time. They have also revoked complimentary access to a loaner vehicle despite the unresolved and unsafe condition of the car. The vehicle remains available for inspection. The problem has been confirmed by a dealership, has occurred repeatedly, and continues to pose a safety concern. Warning lights and gauge failures typically appear when the issue occurs.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal felt stiff while depressed. Additionally, the vehicle failed to slow down as intended. No warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that prior to the failure, the brake pads and rotors were replaced. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired due to the cost. Upon further investigation, the contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 17v063000 (service brake, hydraulic); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 63,000.

A car pulled out in front of me. I hit my brakes and now the calipers are locked. When the incident happened the brakes on the left side of the car locked up. I have no warning lights and the caliper is still locked. I have been to a couple mechanics and no one understands. If you unplug the brake line from the abs unit the calipers release. Front calipers, brakes, and brake lines have been replaced.

When my car was stolen and crashed the whole front end was smashed in but the air bags did deploy. I saw there's several recalls on these cars, one was the airbags. I never got any recall for it and it shows there are no recalls. The brakes have problems, being that it takes forever to slow down. I have to leave about 3 car lengths ahead of me because I can't stop, it takes a while to slow it down. And the steering wheel feels stuck. I had a friend drive it and he said the same thing. It's difficult to handle and not lose control. I'm to the place I'm scared to get on the highway anymore because not being able to stop quickly and swerving all over cause it's hard to control the vehicle. I have had zero recalls tho even with me experiencing this. And the paint is coming off, but at least that won't kill me.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while coming to a stop sign, there was a failure with the brake pedal. The contact was unable to depress the brake and instead engaged the parking brake to stop the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer stated that after the vehicle was inspected, there were no failures found with the braking system. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 52,900.

Without any warning lamps coming on, the vehicle car stalled while driving on the highway. It randomly stalls constantly when turning corners, especially on left turns (odd?). The scariest thing that happened was it got stuck on the speed limit of 55-60 miles per hour and I couldn't brake or accelerate. This put my kids, other drivers, and my life at risk. On father’s day, while my husband was out with the kids the vehicle tried to accelerate on its own when he was at a stop. It happened multiple times as he tried to make it home. Then when he was in stop and go traffic, it got difficult for him to brake. The brakes started failing. What more can I say?.

My car has been stalling shortly after purchasing when slowing down and turning. Then it started stalling on the freeway which is a safety big time issue multiple times. Dealership spoke of maintenance they said it needed. They changed a part and parts on my car has been changed multiple times it doesn’t make since.

I was driving on the highway, operating vehicle at posted speed limit, traveling about 70mph when vehicle experienced complete power loss for a short duration of time. All electrical off, loss of braking, loss of power steering. Power subsequently returned and vehicle resumed normal operation. This is not the first time this has occurred, but this episode has me concerned since I was driving on the highway this time. I understand that Hyundai has other vehicles experiencing engine problems, not sure if my vehicle is may be experiencing a similar engine part failure.

Have had the vehicle throw a code for a misfire 4 times in the 30,000 miles I have driven it. The times I have taken it to Hyundai dealerships in northglenn and boulder, colorado they tried an update and just swap ignition coils to different cylinders. Example misfire is cylinder 3. They swap number 3 and 4 ignition coils to see if they can recreate the problem I the new cylinder. There is already a tcs 20-FL-001h. I recommend a full recall of these defective ignition coils be put out as the problems are still occurring. The problem is reoccurring and the time it takes to get into the shop is 3 weeks out at this time. By the time I get it in the code usually resolves and I have to wait until I get violent shakes and poor acceleration to indicate it is back. Had an accident in January if 2023 and it seemed the brakes were t working as they should. Twice after that the brakes felt as if they weren’t stopping as well as they should. I took the vehicle in and had the rear drum brakes adjusted and that seemed to fix the problem.

The cars breaks are difficult to stop, it does not slow down. The steering wheel is very stiff to turn. And my car was stolen due to Hyundai not equiping it with an immobilizer. It was recovered smashed in the front, no airbags were deploited. I have photos for proof.

Had bought the vehicle at 72k miles, and drove fine for a few months before the engine started to sound like it was roaring (like the exhaust had came undone), shortly after vehicle started stalling and dieting turning left (have video evidence of this in parking lot) did not take vehicle in to be serviced as it seemed a lot of the time to be a one off issue but now the vehicle has lost a lot of low speed acceleration, and had begun knocking at 80k miles where it was looked at by an independent mechanic which stated that the engine was severely low on oil. Have been driving since as it is the only way for me to get back and forth to work and the problems have been getting worse to the point the vehicle will refuse to start, or just act like it’s lost a gear and is stuck in neutral.

The brake system continually fails intermintently and is placing the driver and all passengers at risk of injury and or even death. The brake pedal stiffens not allowing pressure to be applied to use brakes. The pedal has to be pressed in aggressivly 5-10 times before finally allowing brake assist to help brake the vehicle. Once pedal begins to activate again it is followed with heavy grinding then finally almost resumes as normal with normal braking. The brake assist system has failed on almost 10 occasions on myself and has been taken in for repairs 4 times and fails to be repaired and appears to not ever be located. The recall regarding the brake booster was fixed, but yet brakes continued to fail after repair. The dealership has since taken it back in for repair and said they located leaking rear back brake pistons and repaired that. I was given car back and the next day experienced brake failure on 2 occasions on the freeway. I immediately gave the vehicle back to the dealer where it is today and they now believe it is the abs system modular. The dealership continues to take it in but fails to locate the issue causing brake system failure. There have been no warning lamps or other issues that have relation to brake system failure. Since issue appeared first 2 months ago, I have replaced brake pads, brake fluid flush, brake booster recall, back brake pistons, and now abs modular, and brakes continue to still fail.

Issue 1: the brakes are locking up when used at a high rate of speed (high-ways/interstate). When braking and running over a slight bump in the road such as where the road has buckled due to heat or due to road repair work (or other larger bumps), the anti-lock brake system will lock up the tires which will cause the car to continue traveling at a high rate of speed without slowing effectively. It has almost caused several collisions by failing to brake in time to avoid hitting the car in front of it without switching lanes. Luckily, no cars have hit the Elantra when we have had to swerve last minute to avoid a crash that would normally be avoided. This has happened on the interstate in traffic and sudden stops by cars in front of us. It has also happened on off ramps while gradually slowing the vehicle to a stop. This could cause substantial injury or death to anyone in the car. I have taken this car to the dealership and multiple car repair shops. They have not been able to determine the cause or fix the issue. There are no warnings on the car. The first few times this happened the antilock brake light came on. Issue 2: the back passenger door will not open when using the door latch from the inside or the outside of the car. The car lock functions as normal and can be heard locking and unlocking. The door will not open to be able to be fixed. Hyundai will not repair the issue under the warranty, and has quoted a high sum to fix the issue. The technician said he would have to brake the door in order to fix the issue. Other car repair shops have confirmed this is a common problem with Hyundai vehicles. The other repair shops have not been able to open the door to fix the issue. There is not a recall on the door mechanism. This has not caused any damage or injury to a person as of yet, but we have not felt comfortable driving anyone in the Elantra as the door would not open in an emergency to allow someone to get out of the car.

I took my vehicle in for an oil change and they stated that the ball joint are loose and struts/shocks are circle on the inspection form. I still have my warranty on the vehicle.

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while driving 2 mph and while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle failed to come to a complete stop. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer palm springs Hyundai (3919 e palm canyon dr suite a, palm springs, CA 92264, (760) 202-8888) where it was diagnosed with needing the brake circuit error switch to be replaced. The vehicle was been repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 18,646.

This is my third Hyundai and for some reason my front breaks were completely shot and I had to spend $567. 65 to have them replaced. After searching other cars this should not have happened this early especially with almost all highway driving. I had been thinking about another Hyundai, but with this problem I am thinking maybe a different brand may be better. This problem had not occured before. Breaks were repaired at dealer otherwise I might just lose my warrenty. I can tell you I am not a happy customer of Hyundai at this point at 36,000 miles.

The vehicle was being adjusted while parking along side a curb on a hill. The driver pulled forward, then attempted to stop in order to put the car in reverse to get closer to the curb, but the brake pedal would not depress. The car began to roll down the hill and hit the back of a parked SUV and ended up wedged under the back of the SUV. The entire front end of the vehicle was smashed, but the airbag never deployed.

When I brake the brakes don't respond properly.

Back left door doesn't open dangerous in case of emergency ac compressor melted replaced and now it's making noises struts bolts came loose brakes and shaking whole car.

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal was depressed but was firm. Additionally, the vehicle failed to respond when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to gene messer Hyundai (4025 w loop 289, lubbock, TX 79407) however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was notified of NHTSA campaign number: 17v063000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the vehicle was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000. The VIN was invalid.

When I go around curves (left hand) my traction control light will flash and I will not have control over my brakes (it will feel as if I am hydroplaning) this occurs randomly and for not set reason/ I am not speeding or hitting my brakes when this occurs. I have been told from my dealership that I needed tires, I got tires, and it is still happening.

I had before a car hyunday Elantra 2013, and that car has recall because have some problems with the breaks, and after that carr I buyed a hyunday Elantra 2017, its was the same think with the breaks when the road was wet the breaks do not work and they make a noise, I had accident when was raining my car hit with the concrete fence, the crash was so bad but itns very rare , the car is total lost and the airbags never was deployed please can you investigate that issue , because I think the airbag never works. I dont know what kinda or make air bags are. . I am ok but that why a lot o people die. My car was in motion in a highway.

Since I have had the car from 2017 to now, there has always been an issue with the engine. The car will shake and then slow for a few seconds and the engine light will pop on. The breaks are sometimes very hard. I sometimes have to push harder on them, but then they make a weird noise. It is quite scary.

Puchase my Elantra in June 2017, when it rain or first thing in the am the brakes will make a sound like I need new breaks and like the rotor need replaced. I took it in and they said everything was find. One year later still have the same problem. The seatbelt light comes on and continues to beep with no one sitting in the seat and the only way I can get it to go off is to snap the seatbelt. Sometimes I have access to my bluetooth phone and sometimes it doesn't work or the display is not accessible.

While driving on the freeway and exiting an offramp. Hitting the car's brakes made the brake pedal turn really loose and almost to the floor. Instant braking ability was lost and the car went into a slow brake while wobbling left to right. Split second timing of turning the wheel avoided crashing into the car directly in front. After that the brakes resume normal function.
