Check Engine Light On Problems of Hyundai Elantra - part 1

My Hyundai Elantra is a lemon. I have been having accelerating problems, stalling problems fresh from the lot even before 5,000 miles with my Hyundai not accelerating took it to dealer said nothing is wrong with it 5 years ago. It still continues to stall on me! it broke down on me twice in two days in a row. One on 8/8 and 8/9! could have killed me or others if I took it on the highway. My car has been stalling and I had to pump the break to rev up the engine at the same time while turning! could have killed us! I am sitting in a lemon! it is not safe on the road at all!! I lost my job because of this and the time it took me to try and get a rental. Hyundai won't let me get a loaner car! I cannot afford uber all the time. All the lights are on. Check engine light too and airbag light. My transmission seems to be slipping too and the double clutch. Crank and cam shaft problems! headlightw are very dim too. Airbag weight front seat sensor is turning on. Engine is stalling. Slows down! will not accelerate after 60mph goes super slow down to 55 mph up hill. I want Hyundai manufacturer to pay or I am getting a lemon lawyer and contacting the bbb and the state of arizona.

Troubles with the power/battery. Troubles started around 80k miles. At first the battery was a suspicion. A new battery was bought and then we were told a specific battery was needed which we obtained and put into the car. I am unsure if the battery is the issue (at this point I don't think it is). Recently, the car at about 86k miles, has had times where it does not start. For example, times where we go to the store or even left overnight, the car will not turn on. No sign of life at all. We wait a while then try it again. After a while, the car eventually turns on but there is no telling how long it will take. There have been occasions where we are driving and the dash board lights will all turn on at once then turn off. Other times we will be driving and the radio/clock screen will randomly turn off and on as if the car was turned off. At this point we are worried we will be stranded if we take this car out into the community. The car has not turned on while at home, visiting out in the community, and at work. The lights on the dash and radio face acts up while driving. No check engine light has ever came on.

Just over 100,000 miles the check engine light came on. Had the repairs completed, then the engine blew completely.

The contact owns a 2018 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while driving 45 mph, the vehicle started loss motive power with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was hesitant to respond to the accelerator pedal being depressed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer gene messer Hyundai (4025 w. Loop 289, lubbock, TX 79407, (806) 785-7853) where it was diagnosed with needing the engine to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The manufacturer stated that there was no maintenance records for the vehicle and declined to offer further assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 18,559.

The issue has happened while my vehicle has been stationary and in motion, on a ciy street, on a highway and while turning. The check engine light comes on as the car shakes. If I'm in motion, the light will stay on while my foot is on the accelerator, turn off when I take it off the accelerator and come back on when it reaches 1rpm's. If I'm stopped it will jump forward when I press the gas to accelerate (the whole time the check engine light is on). While I'm stationary, it will stay on while it's at 1rpm's or below. I have gone to the dealer a couple times already to get to the bottom of it. The first time they told me it had to do with my spark plugs so I did the service to get that taken care of. The second time I went they told me they couldn't find any code to indicate a problem. Here we are again and I'm having the same issue. This is dangerous and needs to be address as I've currently read many 2017 Hyundai Elantra owners are having the same issue. I don't see the benefit of bringing it to the dealer again if I'm just going to pay for a service that isn't going to rectify the problem and they continue to say there is no problem. I do have video to show the problem.

2017 Hyundai Elantra car started stalling at red lights and when stopping. Almost crashed twice. It starts back up. It started 10\12\20. It happened a few times and then the check engine light came on with code p3006. About 20 miles it went off. This is very dangerous and needs to be fixed. A lot of people is complaining about the same issue. It need to be recalled and repaired.

In February 2020, my check engine light came on after my car began to shake violently and lose speed as I drove on the city streets and highways. The serviceman replaced the coils in my car. Within a week, my car started to shake and lose speed again. I took it back to the dealership where they "fixed" it again to no avail. In early March, my car was still experiencing the same problems: shaking violently and losing speed as I drove on both the highway and on city streets. I chose to try a different service center. They attempted to find a problem with my car by running the codes, but he said that nothing popped up on the screen. I told him that my check engine light flashes on and off when I put my foot on and off of the accelerator. He sent me on my way without fixing my car, but he told me to bring my car back into the service center without shutting off my car as soon as the check engine light comes on the dashboard. He told me that this was important, because it would help them be able to detect the issue. Within 15 minutes of pulling off of the parking lot, my check engine light flashed back on and my car began to shake and lose speed again. I turned around immediately and took my car back. They flushed out the fuel line system. Within two weeks, I brought my car back for the same thing, but the serviceman told me that he could not find any issues since the computer showed no issues. Every time I take my car into a Hyundai repair center, they tell me that they cannot detect any issues with my car, although I tell them that my car begins to shake and lose speed randomly. It is now sept. 2020, and I am still having the same issues. I am scheduled to take my car into a new Hyundai service center in a new state. This is a dangerous car problem that threatens the safety of me and other drivers on the road. Hyundai needs to take action now!.

Once again the car began to shake violently and started lunging forward while driving within city limits. Check engine warning light came on. I pulled over and shut the car off. When I restarted the car, the check engine light was no longer illuminated and the car seemed to drive somewhat normally. This was not the first time this happened, and from what I can tell by reading other similar complaints on the NHTSA website, several people are having these issues as well. It appears to be the ecm, engine control module. Hyundai needs to address this issue ASAP. It is very dangerous to drive this vehicle. Do not allow them to say you need new spark plugs or a software update. This is a safety issue that needs a recall immediately.

Ignition coil pack failure. 1 coil pack failed (started failing at 40,000 and it was 44,000mi before the issue was fixed ) & another is failing (at aprox�48,000). I had to take my car to Hyundai multiple times to have this rectified and in that time my vehicle was running rough at idle, while driving. The vehicle attempted to stall while driving at interstate�speeds on a merge ramp between two interstates during�the�first instance of failure. Hyundai would not rectify the issue without a check engine light presented at the dealership. The first coil pack was replaced. Now another coil pack is failing and the dealership refuses to fix the matter without a check engine light. I visited the dealership and reported my most recent failing ignition coil on 9/1/2020. The rough idle and running rough is becoming more frequent which means the vehicle is likely to stall while driving. The 2017 kia forte has the same engine and has a TSB on this issue to be fixed. The forte NHTSA id # is 10127032. Due to the stalling while driving this is a safety issue and needs to be rectified. My vehicle is under my factory 5yr/ 60k �warranty with Hyundai and I am the original owner. �.

2017 Hyundai Elantra used ran great for a while, the one of the four coils went bad, started to shake and the dealer replaced the coil, and ran great, and now the car started shaking again and check engine light came on and I set an appointment for the dealer the day I take to the dealer the check engine light went out and it was running great, so I took it to the dealer anyway and they told me it was the coil, and it wasn't covered under warranty anymore, but the car was running great, so I've been driving it, and now every now and then it shakes the check engine light comes on and when I step on the gas the check engine light goes out and the car runs great. There should be a recall!.

Difficulty starting. Sometimes it would have to sit for an hour or two to get it to start. Stalled at red light. Burning gas faster than normal. Check engine light was on. Took it to dealership, and was told crankshaft sensor had gone bad. Replaced.

The engine started rough idling periodically (once per week) at the beginning of this year (2020). Restarting the car would usually resolve the problem. It would usually happen after coming to a stop after highway driving. However it began happening with more frequency in April to the point that it could happen multiple times per day. The issue came to the head the first week of may when the car stalled after coming to a stop at a street light. This time it was after only minimal city-street driving. I had to shift into park and start the car again, after which it worked without issue. However the check engine light was on. I took the car to my mechanic same day and they said the code indicated a misfire. They replaced the spark plugs and the ignition coil for the cylinder that misfired. The frequency of the issue decreased significantly after this repair, but it's still rough idling about once per week. I decided to research the problem before having more work done and have found many similar complaints. The car has 41000 mile on it.

When I try to accelerate quickly, especially if the engine is still cold, I will suddenly not be able to accelerate even though the engine and vehicle is still running. Then when I slow down the vehicle begins to shake like it's almost going to die altogether. Then if I try to accelerate again, it's almost like there is no power to drive,or the engine completely stalls, and the check engine light begins to flash and the oil pressure light comes on. The only way then to be able to keep driving is if I completely stop the vehicle and turn the ignition completely off and wait a few minutes and then it will usually take 3-5 tries to get the car to start again. This happens nearly 1-3 times a week, and the dealership says that it's not related to the engine recall that they issued, even though it appears to be the same exact issues that is affecting the other vehicles. There have been at least 20 occasions where I was trying to merge onto a highway and then my vehicle dies or loses power and this is a huge safety concern of mine.

The car engine shut off numerous times. The panel did not show any codes - no check engine light was lighting. Eventually the problem got worse, and the car stopped more frequently in city/street driving and on the chicago edens highway during rush hour, with no check engine light appearing. This is a very serious safety concern. Upon taking the vehicle to multiple auto mechanics for the purpose of receiving multiple opinions, the Hyundai dealership mechanics told us we needed to change the engine - with no solid reasoning or incremental evidence that the problem was a) truly, an engine mechanics or other related operating issue or 2) serious enough problem to require an entire engine overhaul. When contacting Hyundai America, they were not able to accept the facts of which are a very serious, immanent manufacturer concern, and more importantly, consumer confidence and safety concern. There were no recalls on this vehicle. We have entire reason to believe based on our factual information that Hyundai is presenting dishonest and potentially harmful information to their customers, from the vehicle's lack of safety notification and improper response in handling the situation with the consumer. I talked with the Hyundai case manager. Their system has my info and my car info, and our conversation. I had informed case manager, that I'm going to file a complaint to NHTSA against Hyundai poor performance and issue resolution. Thanks for your support and your investigation.

My car is continuously getting check engine light on and the car rattles. Despite, visiting the dealership numerous times, the service center at the Hyundai dealership in dickson city, PA cannot solve the problem. 12/10/2019 - my car started to shake and the check engine light came on when I was leaving for work. I pulled over and turned off the car. I turned it on, the light was gone. I took it the dealership on very same day and the service advisor said nothing is wrong with it.

This time, the service adviser said "a lot of Elantras are experiencing this issue and needs software update". They scanned and found code p030100 / misfire.

Additional services: oil change, battery and front brakes replacement completed. I think this need to be investigated and deserve a full recall for all the 2017 Hyundai Elantra who are experiencing engine issues.

Purchased car from drivetime March 2019- had sporadic problems with steering, with acceleration issues. Car was driving ok until the week of Dec. 1st -check engine light came on 12/4 then went off. On 12/5 check engine light and battery came on and car stopped work while in parking lot, after 20 minutes turned car on-it started up ,but kept shutting off while driving on city streets. Ended up at the pepboy's diagnosed with engine failure.

Driving in the passing lane of the highway my vehicle became unable to accelerate then decelerated rapidly. I made my way over to the shoulder in a panic as the vehicle came to a stop and would not start. The check engine light, oil light, and eps light up as the vehicle decelerated. Upon taking to my mechanic I was given a techincal service bulletin and advised to work with the dealership. Once diagnosed at the dealership I was told I need a new engine and it will cost $9,000; I bought this vehicle a year ago and still owe 5,800 dollars on it. I am aware of class action lawsuits against Hyundai for this issue as well as the fact that this vehicle was recalled in canada for the same issue. I am horrified at the lack of customer service and sympathy exhibited by Hyundai as I made contact with corporate about the issue. I cannot be the only one to experience this safety issue and I am lucky I was able to get to the shoulder safely. This engine should not have failed at 116,000 miles and Hyundai knows that though the appear ignorant to this defect when confronted.

Tl-the contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while driving at 60 mph, the check engine warning light started to flicker, and the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to provide a prognosis as to the failure. The spark plugs were replaced and the engine oil and filter changed however, the failure recurred.

My Elantra turned off while I was driving it, within 30 minutes the car turned off 3 freaking times, which almost caused an accident but I managed to turn vehicle on right away and move to the side of the road. No warning lights came on or check engine lights came, thank god I was alone and did not have my 5 year old with me. Hyundai needs to really look into all these problems ASAP.

There is a check engine light. There is loss of power . Engine does not run properly. Correctly. The dealership can not find a fault code so can not fix it. The car is still under full warranty with premium extended warranty.

While driving my 2014 Hyundai Elantra it started to slow down, and the check engine light came one along with the a flashing oil light. I found it funny because I had just had the oil changed 1 week before. The next thing I knew the car just stopped mid driving in heavy traffic on the freeway. . I had it towed back to the mechanic and they checked everything out and I was told I needed a new engine. I don't see how when I keep my matience up on my car. But as I look up things on the internet I see the 2014 Elantra is giving alot of people problems when it comes to the engine. And I am not sure why Hyundai has not done a recall on the engines here in the us but have done so in canda and overseas. I am a medical retired service member and on a fixed income. So paying 1000s of dollars for a new engine is not in my budget. Nor buying a new car . . . Hyundai has been great with customer service thus far but now I am frustrated and sick to my stomach with the way I have been treated. Thank you for nothing. . .

2nd owner, regular maintenance on car, no prior check engine light indicating a possible issue. Car just over 100k miles, stopped completely while driving. Hole found in engine block motor, appears to have threw a rod. Engine damaged beyond repair. When taken to Hyundai dealership, was not given a formal diagnosis of damage despite asking for cause of engine failure. Simply told new engine needed ranging anywhere from 4-10k. Hyundai declined to replace engine. Have since learned that santa fe's and sonatas within the same year range have been issued engine recalls. Beginning to think issues are related in reading other reviews on engine problems with 2013 Elantra�s. Wondering when this problem will be recognized as a potential recall.

My car intermittently begins to idle rough and stall while in drive. The system check in the car normally reveals nothing. On occasion it will give a message regarding the ems. , I took it to the dealership, and ask them to check and they could find nothing wrong. This check was done at approximately 59,000 miles. After the system check at the dealership the automobile stop having stalling problems for a while. The car is now at 76000 + miles and is beginning to stall again while in drive. It is also showing signs of idling rough with no indicator or system check revealing any problem. Just recently it has begin to stall again and the check engine light comes on intermittently and then goes back off. This presents a safety hazard when driving or transporting others. Specifically, rough idling can happen when the car is in park. Stalling of the engine occurs when the car is in drive only or in reverse gear.

Takata recall. I was driving on a highway and tried to speed up, my check engine light came on and the car was not speeding up or slowing down very well. It was slightly shaking. The check engine light turned off and the car was working normal again, but then the car screen started flashing and ended up shutting off.

While diving my 2016 Hyundai Elantra gt on the dallas north tollway I felt the engine lose horsepower. I applied the gas just to see if it was the car changing gears, I heard the engine rev, but the car continued to slow down. I looked down at my dashboard and noticed that my check engine light came on and started to blink followed by my oil light. Then my check engine light stopped blinked and continued to stay on followed by my battery light coming on. I turned my hazards lights on and was able to make it to the shoulder I put the car in park and started to see white smoke coming out of my vents and quickly filling up the cabin. I turned the car off and got out of the car and walked away. I dialed dallas roadside safety services and while speaking to their dispatcher my engine caught fire. I watched my car get completely engulfed in flames before help arrived.

Car sputters at idle, acting like it's going to cut off. Does not accelerate properly, but only intermittently. One day, the check engine light came on and I could not accelerate and it would sputter at lights. Drove it straight to advance to get the engine light checked; nothing came up. Started the car again and it drove fine, like nothing had happened. Took it to the dealership the next day. They couldn't duplicate the issue. Finally, after letting it idle awhile, were able to get a code on the coils. Replaced them all. Car was running fine after that. The sputtering at idle has now started again. . . . . Less than 2 months later.

On 10/13/2018 I turned ignition on car to start and the car began rumbling and bumping and the shut down and the check engine light came on. I was stationary in my parking space at home when this happen. . . It also began bumping and dragging if to shut down again on 10/20/2018. Each time car was taken to dealership. . Next, the instrument panel when blank while driving on 10/20/2018. Now this time it was driven to dealer, they could not duplicate the mal function. This was on 10/23/2018 and 10/29/2018 at lynnes Hyundai. . On 10/16/2018 vechicle was towed to hudson Hyundai for the same bumping. They said the tech found a shortage ignition coil and a cylinder misfired and he cleared the codes. Coming home from lynnes on 10/29/18 after they said they could not find anything wrong with car, it began to rumble again. I am not comfortable driving this car. What if your in high speed traffic and it shuts down and your instrument panel goes black. Could be a tragedy, if not someone's death.

I bought a 2017 Hyundai Elantra limited edition at the end of 2016 it had 43 miles on it. I have taking it to about 6 different dealerships due to transmission issues and engine power loss and out if the 6 I have gone more the a few times. Their response to my concerns about the car is we cannot reproduce this so there is no problem or there's not a check engine light on. Every dealership that I have gone to repeat this saying over and over. When my car shifts into second gear it's almost as if that gear has two more like driving a stick shift but you're shifting too soon so it spits and sputters, in addition to this 3rd 4th 5th gear has a long delay in shifting it also feels like the transmission is slipping as the rpms and speed come up it feels like the transmission grips and you can feel the torque kick in if you will. There's been many times I have to manually shift the car out of 5th into 6th and a few times out of 4th. My car has 38970 miles on it. I had the transmission flush and the engine, ignition coils have been replaced, I use premium gas and fuel injections clearer. Nowadays when I'm driving I have to push the gas pedal halfway down for the car to actually move. This has been going on about six months after I got this card.

Bought this car from a dealer ship with 40,000 miles it now has 70,000 miles in between 40k & 70k it's been shaking loss of power no acceleration horrible on fuel . . I've change spark plugs ignition coil mass air flow sensor and still gives me check engine light and still saying p304 which is a misfire in cylinder 4 I just don't know what to do anymore Hyundai want a to charge me to take it in diagnosed it and I just don't have the cash for this car please help if anyone knows anything else bout this caelr thanks.

Coils have been replaced to both number 2 and number 3 cylinders and the car does not have 20k on it yet. The symptoms were poor performance, including a feeling like the vehicle was going to stall and the inability to go much over 45 mph. Check engine light came on both times that this happened.

I first experienced the problem 08/14/18 driving home from work on i295n, the check engine light came on and the car didn't want to accelerate. On 08/16/18 the same problem occurred but this time it lasted until I made it late that evening. I took it to Hyundai of orange park 08/17/18 here in jacksonville and the problem could not be duplicated. As I was driving to work 08/22/18 my car started doing the same thing only this time you could feel the vibration of the car not wanting to accelerate and the check engine would go off as I'm changing gears and soon as I am done shifting it stays illuminated. I called the service center again and she says to bring it back in for testing and they can only fix it if they can duplicate the problem. I am very uncomfortable with driving this vehicle in traffic not knowing if it will cutoff and I am hit.
