113,000-114,000 miles on car. Started making a ticking noise that sounded like it was coming from the top of the motor. Sounded like lifters or a hard knocking. Parked as soon as it started it and towed it to a shop. They said the ticking sound was more than likely from the piston assembly. They called it a piston slap. However upon taking the valve covers off they found the timing chain was slapping around, bent valves and a bad piston. Our daughter done all of her oil changes regularly and didn't hotrod the vehicle. She was also going slow up our driveway when it happened. No noise prior to this at all.

Engine make tapping noise when a cold starting the noise will slow down will it is worming up but you still hear it was look at by 2 diffrant car shop repair and both said it could be rocker arm or leffters.

I am 2nd owner of vehicle (bought with 36252 miles) around 76xxx vehicle starting making ticking noises I brought into carmax where I was told nothing was wrong. I got an oil change and went on my way. 2 days later the car shut off while driving. Brought it back carmax again states nothing wrong. The car is constantly shutting off while driving long distance. At 90525 my car shut off while driving on a bridge brought it into Hyundai were they stated I needed a new motor but it wasnt covered under warranty due to "sludge" I live in FL its hot and I live down a 3 mile backroad that will cause build up according to research. Hyundai wont help and this is a safety issue especially for my kids now im stuck making payments on a car that cant be driven and im 2000 in rental car fees. And dont have the best credit to get another car. Something needs to be done ASAP as I see this complaint multiple times.

I boughtbmy car and anoit 1 month after it started having a ticking noise. Also the car will kinda stall when I'm getting on the highway where I can't get over 45 mph. Also the symbol with the (!) keep coming on and then blinking really fast. And the front end kinda shakes when it does that.

Bought used 3 weeks ago and it died while driving on incline, has been making a ticking noise, and sluggish, stereo turned off by itself.

For the past several months I have had a reoccurring issue with my 2012 Hyundai Elantra. About 1-3 times a week, my car will not start. All lights, radio, etc. Work fine when key is turned to on/start position but car will not start. It makes one click sound and then nothing. Generally, if I keep trying it will eventually start. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes and sometimes it takes a few hours. Along with this, about once a week my car will shift gears hard. It is an automatic and otherwise shifts fine. I have had routine maintenance completed on time since I bought this car in 2016. I have brought my car to my mechanic several times in the last few months and he cannot determine the problem since the car does not do this regularly. I read online that it could be the neutral safety switch (range inhibitor) so I replaced that. The problem still exists. I contacted the Hyundai dealership from which I purchased my car and they have no answers.

I noticed a slight ticking sound at around 63,000 miles in my 2015 Hyundai Elantra while my car was idling. I had the vehicle diagnosed by an ase certified mechanic. They determined a knocking/pinging in the area of cylinder number one on the passenger side of the vehicle. Oil has always been changed around 3,000 miles. The sounds has progressively gotten worse and has become a loud knocking sound with loss of power. The vehicle has about 70,000 miles on it now and the engine is starting to fail more. The loud knocking sound is constant from idle through acceleration. I was curious if other people had this same issue so I did some research. Many cars with the same make and model were recalled for the same issue I'm having. Im afraid the engine is going to seize soon while driving and I'm concerned for my safety. I do not know what to do with this problem now. I don't think a car should be doing this at 70,000 miles.

I purchased this car new. The engine has stalled while trying to accelerate several times since I have had this car. This started the first year or so that I had it. Hyundai has checked while under warranty and said there is nothing wrong. Once I was told that the computer needed to be reset. I have had regular maintenance over the life of the car. There are now just over 110,000 miles on the car. I recently was driving on a secondary road a few blocks from home. The car made a screeching sound, almost stalled, and then there was an engine ticking noise. No warning lights came on. I had it towed to a local mechanic that I trust. I was told that I would need new engine because it sounded like there was loose metal in the engine. I have also read that this is a common issue in Hyundai 2. 0l engines. This car has mostly highway miles on it. It has been well maintained and has always had the oil changed before the manufacturer's recommended mileage. I think this engine should still be covered as if it is under warranty. It is possible that not enough of the Elantra gt (I think most people buy the coupe which has a different engine) have been sold to create a recall. It is also possible that many of the ones that have been purchased have been traded in. Over the past 3 to 4 years, I have received numerous letters and cards from Hyundai. They specifically said that they needed me to trade in my Elantra gt and they would offer me top dollar on a trade in or trade up. I now think they wanted my car back because they knew this engine had problems and hoped they could just sell me a different car. I just paid this car off and intended to drive it several more years. This is a faulty engine. No car that has been maintained should have this happen. I still have a Jeep I bought in 1994 with over 200k miles and it runs great! this engine should be recalled or at least investigated.

Air bag light is constantly illuminated engine has a continual loud ticking noise such as lifters noted appropriately 60,000 miles . Vehicle is still covered by 10/100,000 warranty yet dealer denies any issues with the motor. This is a known issue in California with a pending class action litigation, but not here in nys.

When I'm driving and I come to a stop my car would make clanking noises I turn my car off and turn it back on and it would stop. When it was time for an oil change I changed my oil and one night I'm driving home and it makes the clanking noise again along with a burnt smell I pull over turn my car off turn back on it still clanking and has clanked ever since. I towed my car home and haven't driven it again because when inspecting it, we noticed my oil level was perfect but timing chain was extremely loose and metal shavings in my oil.

For a year straight the car has been shutting off on my while I'm driving on the street�s. This is very hazardous because it randomly happens. The car will just shut off as if it lost battery power while still in driving gear. When restarting the car it can sometimes take awhile because it will make a clicking noise like there is either a problem with the engine or starter for the car. When this happens occasionally the check engine light will come on.

The car was in motion on a street. It kept jumping and would not accelerate, the steering wheel got really hard to move. It makes a clicking noise when I try to turn it on, when I turn on the car white smoke that smells really strong starts coming out of the exhaust and the car won't drive, if I put it on drive it jumps a lot and turns off by itself. I have read an article in which many users of the Hyundai Elantra from the years 2011 to 2015 have this same motor issues. Something is not right with the engine. Even before this happened, the steering wheel feels really rough, its not smooth its not easy to move the steering wheel especially when making a u- turn or turning on a street, I have to pull really hard to make turns, I don't think this is safe.

Bought my Elantra gt hatchback 4 years ago with 34k miles used, good condition! I had a 2007 Hyundai Elantra prior and loved it so why not I thought. I have kept up with my oil changes, tire rotations, new tires etc recently this year my car started making a clicking noise, we figured it might be the oil so I replaced it, but wanted still the Hyundai dealership to check it out. On my way to the dealership the car's engine light kept flashing, then when I pulled over the oil light came on and then the battery light, this had never happened before, so I had to get my car towed to the dealership. They called and said I would need a new engine basically, something related to the cylinders etc. I am trying all avenues to figure out how to get the car fixed and out of my hands, unfortunately I am not buying Hyundai again, especially since reading that others have had the same issue and Hyundai still refuses to add this model to their sonata and santa fe recall, ridiculous. Sorry Hyundai you have lost my business since you refuse to take up responsibility for your mistakes.

After reaching approx. 60,000 miles my engine developed a slight ticking noise. I've maintained regular oil changes, rotations and other general maintenance along with ensure my car seldom if ever hits empty. In the past few years of owning the car, I've had trouble with the start up. I contributed this to the cold weather of chicago. As the temperatures have been rather fair lately, I've been having the same issue where it wont start initially. Today, my engine died twice while in traffic with no warning, no sounds or anything. I was able to start it up just fine today and after each stall but am more concerned of a larger issue. To my knowledge this has been a problem with a number of Hyundai vehicles in the 2014 class along with a number of Elantras. My issue occured while driving on the city streets.

Engine had a clicking noise, car died while driving. Brakes and steering wheel did not operate. Car rolled until it got slow enough to pull the emergency brake.

Car chugged and shut off; waited and it started again, but since had ticking noise. Dealer is saying new engine needed; stated Hyundai is aware of the engine wearing out prematurely and Hyundai is trying to help people out if it is past the warranty by paying 90% of the cost. Hyundai should pay 100% if they are aware that it is a widespread problem. And they say it is going to take 2-4 weeks to repair.

The engine started to make a ticking sound a few weeks ago when the first cold front came in.

The vehicle engine started knocking around 80,000 miles. At 101000 miles the engine had a catastrophic failure. The vehicle had terrible loud knocking and crunching noises with very little power. This happened on the interstate going 70mph. The knocking issue had been brought up several times to allen turner Hyundai in pensacola, FL and ignores. The service staff told me it was because I was not getting the oil changed (I stopped going to them because of their terrible customer service). Once I produced receipts proving them wrong they said that I wasn't getting it changed often enough even though I got it changed according to the time frame they told and what was stated in the owners manual. They eventually agreed to fix it for $500 after having to get loud and obnoxious with everyone up to the general manager. It was one of the most stressful situations I've ever had. The vehicle still had $10,000 owed on the loan. Even after the issue was corrected the car never got back to working well at all. To get rid of it I had to lease a vehicle for nearly $600 a month to rid myself of the negative equity. Buyer beware.

Engine ticking sound , when starting, vehicle at 125,000 miles when first happened. Perfect maintenance, as car was used as professional sales vehicle.

The engine started making a ticking noise as early as 40k miles. It ran ok and I was lead to believe this was "normal" from the dealership. I maintained the vehicle as required until 88k while noticing more and more oil was being consumed. After slowing down and turning from a highway on to a county road, the automatic vehicle began to shift erratically and could not go faster than 40mph and then the engine turned off. I managed to get to the side of the road while this occurred. The engine started, but driving but the gears would not shift properly causing the engine to stall. In the dealership, the diagnosis was a new engine. I am the second owner and was told there was initially nothing could be done under warrantee with the mileage (while suggesting I must have went way too long between oil changes. . . . . Not even close to correct). The dealership made an appeal to Hyundai and offered to pay for half of the cost of a new engine. So I am supposed to be happy paying only $4200. The new engine does not have a ticking sound and I highly suspect that was the start of the problem before. I'm seeing the "ticking" sound in many of the complaints and can't believe a recall still hasn't been issued for this. I don't trust this car or Hyundai to do the right thing on their own.

Car stalls while in motion and coming to stops. Engine sounds like a diesel truck and also has a ticking noise. Constantly having to replace the headlight bulbs front and back. Also have issues with steering wheel making a winding noise when turning the wheel. My tire pressure light never goes off even when air is put in or all new tires are put on. Also constantly having issues driver side up front tire issues. Had new brakes done and shortly after there making noises again. I always have Hyundai do my work on my car except I do however go to walmart to get my tires. I have had this car for about 3 years and constantly have had issues with it. I will never ever buy another Hyundai again.

Its a loud crackling ticking noise that comes from my 2015 Hyundai Elantras engine. When I drive the the ticking turns into knocking and the car shuts off completely in motion. I have looked online to see what this issue could be. I've read countless statements about this issue. Hyundai needs to step up to the plate and acknowledge this is a urgent manufacturing issue that needs to fixed immediately.

I bought my 2015 Hyundai Elantra from the carmax in oak lawn illinois in September of 2018 and since then I've experienced a few problems with the vehicle and carmax is only telling me that it was a plastic bag on the exhaust pipe and that it will burn off on its own. I took the car into them on April 17, 2019 and today is may 14, 2019 and I'm almost positive that it doesn't take a whole month for a bag to burn off an exhaust pipe. Also I have a complaint about my brake system, when I brake the car acts like it's stalling and it makes a clicking noise as if the car is on ice and the extra brake is helping the vehicle to stop. I know this isn't supposed to happen this way. I have 3 children that travel in this vehicle everyday and I can't drive a faulty vehicle and something happens to them while driving it.

Ticking noise from engine 82000 miles on it. Dealer said around $8000. 00 to replace engine. Dealer said even if I showed I've taken care of it Hyundai still wont replace the faulty engine. Recall for this exact engine problem in canada why not here in the us? so frustrating being a single parent trying to make ends meet and now having to decide which is better take another loan out for new engine of an upside down loan for a different car. I owe 7000. 00 on this Elantra already and have had it for only a year. Taken good care of it with oil changes every 3000 miles. Sadly I'm the second owner of this car so no warranty to help. Heartbreaking when I thought Hyundai was a good solid car to purchase. Now I'm in fear while driving if its going to die on me while trying to figure out my best financial options.

The car was taken to the dealership due to the lost of power from the engine was told to replace the catalytic converter. The car was driven from the dealer until the part arrived. The car had knocking, engine light/oil came on as well as had to start and restart the engine. I was later told the car had a manufacturer defective engine. The car knocks, engine sounds strange. The engine was to be replace as a courtesy by Hyundai USA the manufacturer due to manufacturer engine had recently expired on the defective engine. The claims rep for Hyundai USA said my engine would be covered later after the claim was denied. The denial was based of the manufacturer claims the upkeep of repairs/maintenance was lacking even though maintenance was tracked. I assumed manufactured defect was based on the construction of how the engine was made. My trust and loyalty to businesses are truly lacking due to the fact I put my trust in the professionals like the dealership, like Hyundai USA in providing a safe well made vehicle. The car loses power as the vehicle increase with high speed on the highway with shaking and clanking sounds a clanking clank clank noise. The loss of power going up a hill and or embankment same sounds mention before.

I noticed a ticking noise coming from my vehicle. I took it to a Hyundai dealership and they informed me I would need to replace my engine. The vehicle has 73,000 miles and was maintained (oil always changed on time). I bought the vehicle from my grandfather and had it less than a year. Because I was the second owner, I was not covered under the 10 year/1000,000 mile warranty. The Hyundai dealership submitted documentation and photographs of the engine to see if Hyundai would cover any of the cost of a new engine. Hyundai declined to cover any of the cost of the engine. I called customer service and was assigned a caseworker to look at the submittal in greater detail. The caseworker informed me they would not cover any of the cost regardless that many people were having the same problems with their engines.

Very loud ticking noise from engine. Would not stop when car was warmed up as I was originally told by the dealer in the fall or 2018. Continually got louder and louder and I knew it was not right. Took to dealer have been told needs a brand new engine. Faulty pistons.

I got my Elantra brand new! I traded a 2016 shaker challenger. . . I have had it about 2 years. With less then 80,000 miles on my engine and I have never had any accidents. My engine just shut off while driving. As I try turning it back on, there is a clanging noise from under the hood. . . Car wouldnt accelerate over 35 or so. . . I limped home having the car shut off at least 4 times within 15 miles. Barely making it home. I have had regular oil changes as my grandparents own a shop in princeton just a couple towns away. . . My car has sat in my shop for almost a year now. . . Its very disappointing. I lost a job and have still not been able to get a different vehicle going or even afford to get this one fixed, as I am a single mother of 4 kids. I am a very safe and cautious driver. I had just asked a shop about pricing an engine rebuild and they are the ones who informed me that the 2017 2. 0 has a recall and to look into this further. . . Please help. . . -a desperate mother.

My 2013 Elantra is having trouble starting, it takes several times for the car to start, all I get is a clicking noise, a mechanic had me put the car in neutral and it started, this week, I spent 10 minutes putting the car in park, neutral, and turning the steering wheel for it to start, it was towed a couple years back and the dealer could not "replicate" the issue. About a month ago, I heard a ticking sound in my engine, several people and two mechanics have listened to it and are saying it is either the valves or lifters. I have an appointment this month, so will update with my findings.

My engine recently developed a loud ticking noise at 78,000 miles. I took it into my local Hyundai dealer and they informed me that I needed a new engine and advice me not to drive the car because the engine could seize up. The noise lasted no longer than a week before I took it in. The car was also regularly serviced and I have receipts. The dealership found metal debris in the oil pan but could not diagnose the exact issue without completely disassembling the engine. When looking online, this problem pops up hundreds of times for this make and model of car but Hyundai has never issued a recall.

Known Hyundai engine problems the engine has a ticking noise that I have found to be a manufactured issue in Hyundai Elantras. The camshaft bushings are worn away and needs a completely new engine. All of which is a manufacturing fault. The ticking is audible when idling and even more so when the accelerator is pushed.
