general problems of the 2019 Hyundai Elantra

Driver side lock cannot be opened. Defect.

Electric horn is not working horn issue technical service bulletin (TSB) 25-be-005h published on Hyundai tech info under Hyundaidealer. Com but it does not include 2019; it includes 2020 -2022 model years.

I've replaced the headlights 4 times and the daytime running lights 20 times! bought and installed 2 entire headlight assemblies. . . 5 days later right headlight blew out. Ive entered many complaints about this 1 vehicle and conveniently for Hyundai no recalls!!!! continuous oil level issue reported the very first time I put the car in the shop.

My high beam lights have malfunctioned and no longer work. The light on the dash states that my headlights are on but they just flick on for one second and discontinue to work. I live in a rural area and can not see at all when leaving home in the early am hours or when returning home in the evening. I've had to stop on the side of the road at certain times, because I have no visibility. My car is approaching 6 years old with less than 70,000 miles and this is ridiculous. The dealership is charging over 2,000 dollars to fix this issue and I think this is highly unacceptable for a car of this age, especially when I bought the car brand new. I bought a brand new car to avoid issues such as this, but I have seemed to pay the price but not receive the safety that I have paid for. There are so many complaints online for this exact issue. I would highly appreciate if safety is held as a priority for this issue and you all place this as a recall ASAP.

I am unable to use the high beams. Low beams are very hard to see with making risky when driving at night. No warning lights.

Headlight housing mechanism for high beam and low beam lights do not allow headlights to stay on high beam. Will not pass massachusetts motor vehicle safety inspection.

My car started hesitating when shifting gears in Smart and normal mode smelled like something was burning. Car only drives in sport mode, shifts hard, engine lags, and the check engine light has not come on. This is the second incident with this car. The first time I lost all power to the car and the entire electrical system shut down, when it was towed to the dealership they said nothing was wrong with it. I keep up on all the maintenance.

The driver and passenger headlight has been replaced and the bulbs but the headlights keep going out was told it is an electrical problem and contact manufacturer. Also emergency braking did not work in recent accident nor did forward collision warning.

Car keeps turning off every time I start it and won’t stay on.

Short in the car headlight and rear high brake lights. Have replaced the lights and entire headlight but day time running lights and front headlight keep going out. The headlights also have a halo effect. Rear passenger tire also keeps deflating even when tire as been checked for holed and leaks.

While driving on the highway, engine light comes on and then car shuts off mid drive. Days later, tire pressure light comes on and stays on showing good pressure. The car doesn't properly shift gears. Luckily I didn't have an accident. I have a case opened with Hyundai, but unable to get diagnosis until March. Car hasn't been consistently operable since purchase 3 years ago, as you can tell by my mileage.

Vehicle turned off while turning into an intersection, low power when on the highway. Alternator was already replaced several months ago. Safety was definitely put at risk, no lights were on the dash.

I was going 40mph when my car started to produce loud noises and stalled. It immediately lost power and I had to pull over on the side of the road. It started back up after 30 minutes and I was able to drive it home, but it continued to make loud noises and I had to drive very slow. Battery is good with 70% charge and the alternator is good.

My car has randomly shut off 2 times in the last 48-72 hours. The first time in happened was a stop light, while idling the vehicle shutoff and restarted. The second time it happened was while actively driving the vehicle approximately 30 mph. The vehicle has been taken to a local dealership and they are unable to figure out why this is happening. There is no check engine light or any other warning lights present both times this has happened. This is a huge risk for this to happen while the car is actually in motion.

High beams quit working I. Weather conditions and now high beams don’t work period and have to replace head light do to problem with assembly driver side and passenger side high beams don’t work. Vehicle engine light came on and vehicle started driving rough at times stalling while driving it. Took it to a mechanic after replacing all coils plus spark plugs vehicle still showed engine light on. It also diagnosed sensors and cam shafts, solenoids. After all work performed vehicle engine light was still on and was driving rough at times still stalling on the road. The car would stall constantly with out warning. Sometimes will start up again and sometimes it wont. Then increased oil consumption, progressing to a knocking sound, and the engine seizing and stalling. Also warning light in the instrument panel, knocking noise from the engine, reduced power or hesitation when accelerating, or the smell of burning oil. Engine shut off while driving. Now car won't start at all. Took the car to be looked at they ran all kinds of diagnostic testing, one of which came back showing my engine lost almost all compression. Bought it from dealer car was used as a rental. I am the first real owner. There was a hyndai Elantra recall for engines but I believe my car is not included and I think my car has a 2l engine. I found the information below from a search engine. "Hyundai motor America (Hyundai) is recalling 158,493 2019-2021 Elantra cars, equipped with the 2. 0l nu mpi engine".

I was driving on the freeway & the engine just cut off. I lost complete power but luckily, I was able to get to the side of the road without any incident. About a month ago, the same thing happened but I was down the street from my house so it wasn't a big deal. The day after, the front collision light went off twice while I was driving. My particular car VIN number is not on the recall list.

Car stalls constantly with out warning. Sometimes will start up again and sometimes it wont. Completely stuck where its at right now and I was not notified of the recall for my 2019 hyandai Elantra. Bought it from dealer that used it as a rental. I am the first owner.

I am contacting you regarding service campaign 993 (atni-theft software upgrade). My car was stolen on March 7th, 2023 due to a lack of the required safety system on anti-theft software and immobilizing. Although, the recall updates and adds the mentioned safety issues, however, my war was stolen due lack of these safety systems. The car was recovered by police, however, it is damaged (window, ignition cylinder, body of the car, bumpers, etc) I did contact the Hyundai customer care center, and I was told that Hyundai is not going to reimburse the cost of the repair of the damages to my car (although the safety issue in their Elantra cars caused this accident). I believe they should be responsible for any theft damages to the car because of the safety issue in recall 993. Please let them know that it is not the owner's responsibility to pay for the damages that occur due to the lack of the required safety issues in their product. I am requesting the issuance of another recall which reimburses all repair costs due to theft damages to the cars related to the safety issues in recall 993.

Hyundai Elantra was stolen for the 2nd time after Hyundai's immobilizer was supposedly installed in the vehicle. Car was parked and locked in a secured employee parking lot with cameras. Rear window was busted out steering column torn down and ignition switch removed. Car was started with a usb. Just like everyone else's. The vehicle was located and is currently at the dealership where they are refusing to do any work because it is a "branded" title and no longer under any warranty.

I was driving home from work at night when my 2019 Hyundai Elantra sport (just found out has the wrong VIN) lost all power and felt like it wasn’t running on all cylinders. I switched it to sport mode had a little more power for about 2 mins then my car died completely. I had to pull over thankfully I made it to the bottom of the pass and coasted into a gas station while I waited for a tow truck to have it towed to the dealership. The dealership had my car for almost a week. They ran all kinds of diagnostic testing, one of which came back showing my engine lost almost all compression. Secondly they ran more tests and more tests and just to tell me it was a bad battery. The battery has been replaced. My car is still having idling issues, it’s shifting hard and the lane assist which I kept on just the warning turns itself on randomly, same with the front assist. This vehicle has 37,000 miles on it. Maintenance has been done regularly along with the highest quality oil changes, premium gas and air filters. I am pissed that I am paying so much money a month and am having nothing but issues.

Vehicle high beams have been inoperable, even after replacing bulbs multiple time. Hyundai indicates it is a known issue that requires costly replacement of headlight assembly. When will the NHTSA order Hyundai to recall this safety issue. I drive nightly on a two lane highway that is dark and has lots of donkeys. Speed limit is 65 if I slow down to compensate for visibility I’m bound to get rear ended by a semi truck. If I follow the posted speed limits I won’t have enough time to stop for a donkey. Both are life threatening situations that should prompt this agency to order Hyundai to recall.

Sometimes the car will not start batter is testing good replaced it anyway same for starter and is alternator and still happens Hyundai dealership said they don't know. Now the car will start to break on its own saying something is there even when in open parking lot by yourself with nothing or any one around. After that started now the trunk will open when driving down the road if you are home and unlock the car the trunk will open 3 times before staying closed and as soon as you pull of up to 3 minutes it will open back up even when doing 70 on the interstate just pops open have took batteries out of key fob and still happens.

The engine completely cuts off and loses power while driving! abruptly stalls with no warning!.

Four times while driving this vehicle in the last 5 days, all of the warning lights on the cluster light up and the speedometer and temperature indication stop working. In addition the turn signals will not work. If using the cruise control, it turns off. In addition to being distinctive, it is unsafe. Hopefully you can help!.

My car stalled for no apparent reason… the warning lidhts weren’t on the dash and the oil indicator didn’t show low. I restarted it and drove home. It stalled a couple more times. The idiot lights didn’t come on again nor did it show me low oil. When I got home my son checked the oil and it was dangerously low. We added more oil and drove it again it appeared to be fine. He changed the oil just to be on the safe side. And when he restarted it all hell broke lose. He then ran a diagnostic test on it to see what was wrong. The engine was blown. I had it towed to a shop for confirmation. Yep a rod blew through the block.

Engine failure believed to be related to NHTSA campaign number: 21v-301. Vehicle had no warning lights on message. Vehicle turned off while driving and steering wheel became stuck and vehicle jerked off road, I turned vehicle back on and it sounded like a truck and would not move again.

The system that was affected was the engine, and inspection is available. We were all in seatbelts at the time of the incident. Pepboys has confirmed it is an electrical issue and they can't repair it and must be done by the original manufacturer. The warning lamps that appeared were the battery, oil, and the engine lamp. And still stops and appear everyday.

Since I bought the car I noticed a lack of considerable light output coming from the front headlights. Turning on the brights is just worst as it lowers the line of sight instead of increasing it. The overall lights are dim. Changing the bulbs does nothing. This is especially dangerous at night as you can't see very well.

High beams headlights stopped working.

The car has had 4 episodes of a discharged battery over approximately 4months between 11k and 14k miles. It began when the car was less then a year old. It was towed to the dealership each time. They replaced the battery the 2nd time. The 3 and 4 times the car was searched for a parasitic battery drain but could not find a problem. At this point Hyundai has not been able to determine why the car discharges the battery unnecessarily. Each time the car had been parked with all electrical systems off for a few days before it would not start and had a dead battery.

Left front speaker cuts out randomly.

My brake light and turn signal lights have went out roughly 5 times in the last month and I just purchased the vehicle a month ago. Mostly occurs while driving and randomly goes out. The entire casing was replaced and the issue is still occurring.

Car repeatedly has the blind spot sensor system alarming out and shutting off till car is restarted, could be a safety issue if you dont realize that it is no longer working. 10 times between 275 miles and 1300.
