ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.

REAR, PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. YOU CAN HEAR THE LOCK MECHANISM WORKING, BUT THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN NO MATTER WHAT WE DO. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH HYUNDAIS FOR YEARS NOW. HERE'S A LINK TO A FORUM THAT TALKS ABOUT IT. HTTPS://WWW.HYUNDAI-FORUMS.COM/THREADS/REAR-PASSENGER-DOOR-WONT-OPEN.603329/ THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE SAYS IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY, AND WON'T LOOK AT IT WITHOUT CHARGING ME, SO I DIDN'T GET A REPAIR ESTIMATE.

SERVICE BRAKES
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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY HEADLAMP LIGHTBULBS KEEP BURNING OUT. IN 2020 ALONE I HAVE SWITCHED THEM OUT 3 TIMES EACH! WAS TOLD THAT'S NOT NORMAL. TODAY I SWITCHED THE PASSENGER SIDE FOR THE 3RD TIME THIS YEAR. I'M SURE BEFORE 2021 I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE. IT'S GETTING EXPENSIVE! ALSO MY IGNITION COIL HAS GONE OUT 2CE IN 4 YEARS. (YES IT'S A 2017 BUT I PURCHASED 6/30/2016) MY CAR SHAKES AND MAKES WEIRD NOISE. SAME ONE #1 IS THE CULPRIT.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.

THE DOOR HANDLES ON MY 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA CONTINUE TO FALL OFF. SO FAR, ALL 4 OF MY DOOR HANDLES HAVE FALLEN OFF AT LEAST ONCE, MY DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOOR HAS NOW BROKEN 3 TIMES, PASSENGER FRONT DOOR HANDLE BROKEN TWICE, AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR BROKEN TWICE. CURRENTLY 3 OUT OF 4 OF MY DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN. BEEN WAITING NEARLY 6 MONTHS FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THIS AS A "COURTESY" BECAUSE MY CAR WITH 85K MILES IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

ENGINE
I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE IN 7/2018 AND HAD IT FOR JUST OVER 2YEARS AND THE VEHICLE STARTED STALLING AND STOPPING THEN SOON JUST SHUT DOWN AS I WAS DRIVING. AFTER GETTING IT TOW HOME AND HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT. I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE WAS BAD AND IT WAS NOT FIXABLE. I'M HAVE A CAR I'M FINANCING AND CAN'T USE THE CARE AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACT HYUNDAI FOR OVER A WEEK NOW AND NO ONE HAVE RESPONSE. MY CASE MANAGER WILL NOT CALL ME BACK ON THIS. I HAVE A CASE NUMBER AND CALL EVERYDAY AND ALL I GET IT RUDE SUPERVISOR WHO DO NOT CARE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
PURCHASED A HYUNDAI ELANTRA 2017 FROM A DEALERSHIP ON JULY 7, 2020. THE 2ND DAY IT STALLED ON ME FEELING LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL WITH ENGINE LIGHT ON. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACE THE IGNITION COIL AS AND SAID THEY ORDERED A PART TO RETURN IN 2 WKS. THIS HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE AIRBAG UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. THEY KEPT THE CAR ANOTHER 2 WEEKS. I WAS HAPPY WHEN THEY CALLED THAT IT WAS READY. EACH TIME I HAD TO PAY THE 2 TOLLS TO GO TO THEM IN JERSEY. BEFORE I GOT ON THE GARDEN STATE GOOD, THE CAR STARTED SHAKING, COULDN'T GO OVER 45 MPH WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN. I RETURNED IT. THEY KEPT IT 2 WEEKS. I HAVE MY CAR WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON STILL AND CALLED TO COMPLAIN BUT UNABLE TO REACH A MANAGER EACH TIME. I USED UP OVER $200 OF TOLL MONEY WHICH I USED UP PLUS GETTING SOMEONE TO TAKE ME TO DROP OFF OR PICK UP THE CAR HAD TO PAY FOR GAS AND TOLL. PRODUCED THE E-ZPASS RECEIPTS AND EVERYTHING AND EVERY TIME I GO AND ASK FOR THE REFUND, THE OWNER IS NEVER THERE. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE MY NEW CAR BREAK DOWN WITH ME IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER. I REQUESTED A LIST OF THE THINGS THAT WERE DONE TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE ENGINE LIGHT ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES EVEN FROM THE SALESMAN WHO DOES NOT TAKE MY CALLS OR WHEN HE DOES, HE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL ME. SAID HE'LL ASK AND GET BACK TO ME. NO RESPONSE. THE FIRST DAY I PAID FOR THE CAR AND WE WERE HAPPY TO BE GOING HOME, MY DAUGHTER AND I NOTICED THE FRONT BUMPER ALL BROKEN UP AND IT WASN'T LIKE THAT WHEN WE INSPECTED AND CHOSE IT BEFORE PAYING. THE SALESMAN SAL SAID THERE'S NOTHING HE CAN DO ABOUT THAT AS I ALREADY PAID FOR THE CAR AND MUST ACCEPT IT THAT WAY. I BROUGHT IT TO A SALESWOMAN ATTENTION THE LAST TIME I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR AND THEY ONLY SAID THE MANAGER/OWNER WILL REACH OUT TO ME. NEVER HEARD FROM THEM. STILL DIDN'T RECEIVE PLATES. I FEEL LIKE THEY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME AS A SENIOR CITIZEN.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS DO NOT UNLOCK. OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, PLACE THE KEY IN THE DOOR LOCK IN THE HANDLE AND TURN, OR USE THE WIRELESS REMOTE. BOTH METHODS FLIP THE DOOR LOCK INSIDE THE CAR TO THE OPEN POSITION, BUT NEITHER UNLOCKS THE DOOR.
