Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) Problems of Hyundai Elantra

While driving at highway speeds the vehicle will suddenly decelerate forcing vehicles behind said vehicle to make defensive maneuvers to avoid hitting our vehicle. We have taken the vehicle to the dealership twice for this condition. This time we were told it was the egr valve, but it was on backorder. We are now forced to drive this vehicle until it is repaired.

Vehicle shut off 8 times on my wife while driving. Check engine light did come on with a warning from the vehicle stating a possible issue with our engine control system. Shortly after, while on the roadway, at about 35-40 mph, the car completely shut off. Luckily my wife was going to a church and the church men were able to push her car safely, with our kids inside, off the roadway and into the parking lot. Hyundai roadside assistance was contacted and vehicle was towed to matt bowers Hyundai in gulfport, ms on June 5th. During a 12 day stint at the dealership, it was determined that the problem was caused by the open safety campaign (bulletin 206) and the egr valve assembly was replaced. We took back delivery of the vehicle June 18th, 13 days after the tow/problem.

Below 50 degrees it takes the heater an extremely long period for the car to reach normal operating temp and then when the heater is turned on it falls back to almost into the cold position and begins to blow cool air. The temp gauge will then go up while driving but will go down toward the cold position while idling. My other car is a 2011 Elantra and have no issues with it as it warms up in just a couple of miles and stays warm and blows hot air. Dealership has checked it out and says its working fine but there are several cases on the internet reporting the same with other owners and even found where hyundia has issued a TSB replacing some thermostats in the 2017 models.

Intermittently will not turn over. Battery is fine. Inhibitor switch was changed, all recalls performed. Had the car to the dealer 3 times and they cannot replicate. Had it towed there last time. If you fiddle with the shifter, and key long enough (10 minutes or so, it will eventually turn over and start as normal. There has been no help on this, and the dealer keeps charging for diagnostics, even thought the vehicle is under warranty. The problem seems to be extremely more prevalent in the winter or when the temp is below 35 degrees f.

Our car blew a head gasket and now needs a new engine. It is, essentially, totaled. It only had 86,000 miles on it and we had planned on driving it for at least another 10 years. The car had been in a parking garage all day. It was only 80 degrees outside. Within 10 miles of driving, the check engine light came on. Within another 5 miles the engine overheated and blew a head gasket. This was normal, flat, freeway driving. Fortunately my husband, who was driving, had made his way to the right lane when the light came on and was able to get safely out of traffic. Our concern is that this may happen to others, and may have more serious repercussions. I'm not aware of a recall being out on this, but perhaps there should be.

The Hyundai Elantra has an intermittent starting problem. This problem is hard to duplicate. The solution requires various attempts at trying the start switch along with the movement of shift lever. This becomes a safety problem since it requires numerous attempts to move shift lever from park to neutral position. When attempting to start vehicle after a number of times the power brakes take extreme pressure to control the vehicle from moving. At times, the shift lever will not move properly out of the park position and still not start. This has happened numerous times. The local Hyundai service warned me if problem cannot be duplicated owners are responsible for diagnostic and service costs that would likely be $200 or more. On one occasion the car was parked in my garage for about a week along with daily attempts at trying to start the car did not start the engine. Finally it started and did not have problems during the complete summer, but once the temperature has been below 40-50 degrees f problems occurred. I am very leery at allowing other family members to operate vehicle since some may have difficulty in applying the large amount of braking force to stop vehicle from moving on an incline when attempting to start vehicle. I reviewed the service bulletin no. : TSB-12-at-022-1 on Hyundai Elantra and kia recall NHTSA campaign number: 13v114000 . Note many kias and Hyundai vehicles are similar in parts and function. After reading the NHTSA campaign number: 13v114000 about kia, I did recall incidents of intermittent failing of brake lights and intermittent esc light malfunction.

I bought a used 2013 Hyundai Elantra with 29,802 miles on it on October 6, 2014. By February 2015 I started hearing a tapping noise from under the hood and a noise when I pressed the gas pedal which stopped when I took my foot off the gas pedal. I took it to a Hyundai dealership in February 2015 and it was determined I needed my engine replaced. Hyundai agreed to replace it under factory warranty. I had 32,500 I believe miles on it. The dealership had multiple cars sitting on their lot which needed their engines replaced. While I was waiting for a rental car business to come pick me up at the Hyundai dealership to get me a rental car to drive while my car was waiting to be fixed, I spoke to a couple who came in to drop off their rental car. Their 2012 Hyundai Elantra needed an engine replacement as well--at 23,000 miles. The dealership told me that these cars had engine problems more often in the northeast due to the more severe weather in the winter. I so regret ever buying my first ever Hyundai vehicle!.

Car loosely steered barely off road, 1/8 mile from home,bumped tree 15' away, backed up, engine shut off (as usual since day 2 of lease), windshield heated to over 150 degree's in 35 degree weather, so I vacated car, which was in flames 2-3 minutes and burned to ash. . Had 5 months, daily problems, battery, fuses, ignition, numerous calls to dealer, shop, no help, could easily have died in firetrap alive, car dove itself, when & where it pleased, and was uncontrollable. Even Hyundai motor finance has not paid on gap coverage in 11 months, ruining my credit to boot, and was over financed past legal limits, on a total new lemon and not only was car not replaced as promised,I cannot get a response from Hyundai, or Hyundai finance. ,this was the biggest mistake of my life, and I will tell everyone to never purchase a Hyundai product. You should be ashamed. And lose your franchise license. I will have to sue to ever begin to be compensated for all you have done to me, and because of your product.

Snow predicted. Left home to go run errands at 9:30 am, car looked showroom new, got 1/2 mile, car pulled itself right (as it has previously) and bumped a small tree, no damage. Car backed up to roadside 10', car cut itself off (as it had before), windshield went from 30 degrees to 450 degrees in 3 seconds. I left my purse (with $1200 in it) and everything and fled across road to save my life. Asked man there if he had a fire extinquisher, he didn't, asked me to stay because it was so cold, and I said no, I wanted to check my car and in that 60 seconds, I walked out and stood in his driveway and car was totally a blaze. It happened so quickly I would not have survived had I not fled the vehicle the car from day 2 rarely cranked, often cut off going 5-55 mph, pulled off road to right, and scared me speechless. Like it was haunted and drove itself. I only had it 4 months. It was a death trap and should never have been put on the highway. For some reason, I got arrested, I was totally sober and had no medication in my system. Trooper had a breath alyzer, never used it. Cuffed me very tightly, read me no rights, and took me to station entrance. He grabbed my arm and drew blood (illegally) , no phone call, finally read my rights, and denied me seeing my lawyer 3 times. Illegally. For 3 days & nights, I was never allowed a phone call or code, am disabled and have osteoporosis & had to sleep on a 1/4" of flat plywood, though my joints don't touch, I have restless leg syndrome & must sleep elevated, it was impossible. I also went without any of my prescriptions 3 days. All because this scary car burned to bent metal with no dash, no engine or parts, no tires, seats, nothing. So not only was I in shock, out of any contact without my prescriptions, and had to pay $475 bond, though I only get $969 , this car ruined my life over a year ago, and I haven't had a car since.

I have a 5-speed gt hatchback that stalled while stopped at a stop sign in July of 2005. The car would run erratically and try to stall while moving. It seemed to do it when the cooling fan came on. Took to dealer 8/1/05. They could not duplicate the problem. They did replace the throttle position sensor. I had 417 miles on it at that time. I had no problems until 3/30/06. The first warm day in PA and the car started stalling again, and leaking fuel in the left rear wheel well. With only 6900 miles. I have a service appointment 4/3/06. Let's hope I can get this fixed this time before something bad happens. It seems to only stall when warmed up and the outside temp is above 65 degrees.
