Recall

- Ballwin, MO, USA

From a Hyundai dealership, I was sold a 2014 Hyundai Elantra in June of 2022 with a ticking noise. I was told it was normal and would go away with driving over time. It had not. I had the vehicle assessed by a reputable mechanic and then towed to and reassessed by a different Hyundai dealership. Was told the engine has piston slapping and engine is bad (by both). After a year and a half of back and forth, Hyundai has refused to repair or replace the engine or replace the vehicle since I-??m not the original owner and it was sold over 100,000 miles on the vehicle. I paid a little over $13,000 for a rock that doesn-??t drive. I don-??t have $7,000 to replace an engine and I-??m on a fixed income. There are lawsuits in other countries, just not in the USA yet. I need help please. The contact stated that the manufacturer has denied assistance due to an expired warranty and prior authorization being denied as well.

My vehicle consumes outrageous amounts of oil - more than 1 quart per 1,000 miles. As a result, it is at high risk of seizing, engine failure, or fire. This engine needs to be recalled - there are Facebook groups of hundreds of people with the same exact problem, and Hyundai refuses to cover the engine replacement. Please help us!

While driving over the last month, the car shuts off with no warning. There are no check engine or other lights that come on once it shuts down. There does not appear to be any consistency in the occurences, sometimes while idling, sometimes while driving 40 mph. Up until recently, the car would restart once I put it in neutral, but it now does not restart right away.

Engine light has been on for almost a year with NO prior failure or issues after car hit a dangerous pot hole in the road which caused coil packs and spark plug replacements. After the repair, the engine light stayed on for almost a year and the car has been taken to multiple shops and a Hyundai dealer & diagnosed by Hyundai same answer of "maybe" leak and gas cap being loose. gas cap has been tightened and even replaced few times. Engine light stays on and no one can figure out why. The battery eventually died months later and when battery was replaced engine light came off and then back on days later. same result from mechanics of not knowing true reason engine light is on. 1 month after battery died alternator went out and no signs of knowing and safety concern because engine light stays on but not indicating true reason. 1 day after alternator went out car begin overheating on and off. the engine alert has still been on and never comes on for true reason which can indicate safety concern. problems within vehicle is starting to rise back to back. The signs of a leak but unaware to find is a safety issue

I purchased the car at a used car dealership. I drove it home and the next day the engine light lit up and it started to run rough. While driving it down the road the car shut down and I could not even get it off the road. I had it towed and they agreed to take it at the Hyundai dealership. After running diagnostic on it they told me I needed a new engine and that there was no recall and that it was not covered under warranty. After paying $9500 for this vehicle and it dying leaving me stranded on the road. I have no vehicle.

I was driving home on april 13, 2023 when the power seemed to leave my car & steering & brakes felt like they weren't working right like I had no control. The battery & oil change lights came on. I was scared & didn't know what to do but then a min or so later I was able to get enough control to direct it into a parking lot across from my house & turned off the engine. When I turned the car back on the 2 warning lights were gone & I was able to drive it across the street. I had been hearing a noise under the hood & wasn't sure if it was a belt or something. A mechanic said the belts, hoses etc were good but he thinks that noise was my engine rod bearings going & he had dealt with more Hyundai engine problems recently. I had Hyundai dealership check my engine & they said my connecting rod bearings are bad & I need new engine. They said this is not covered under their extended warranty & I am over the warranty miles & they won't help in any way. This is a bad engine & I have met other Hyundai owners in same situation. & it wasn't until I read an article where another Hyundai driver experienced the same thing I did on April 13 before her engine died on a highway that I connected that event with a bad engine so I believe that is what happened to me on April 13 except my engine didn't completely die on me. This is a safety issue if a car engine stops working while driving on a road. I have receipts from everything I have done to my car & you can tell it wasn't lack of care that caused this engine failure. It is engine defects I believe are causing them. Please investigate the problem & keep Hyundai & Kia drivers & drivers around them safe. And get Hyundai to do right by their customers & replace these defective engines. I can show invoice where Hyundai declined providing assistance because of miles as 2nd owner but service man only hand wrote problem with engine was connecting rod bearings on it. He didn't include it on printed invoice. Hyundai has photos & info.

I was driving the vehicle normally down the highway. When I exited the highway, I came to a stop light and made a complete stop at which point the engine stalled. I restarted the vehicle, the check engine light appeared, but I couldn-??t get it to register any RPMs and I was left stranded in a busy intersection until help arrived.

My 2014 Elantra has a blinking check engine light on. This is an ongoing problem. The dealership diagnostic keeps saying that it is a misfire and I have paid to have it fixed. Change all the plugs twice and the check engine light is back blinking. I can't drive it at all. Each time this happened I was in the middle of traffic when I was forced to try to pull over. Very dangerous situation.

Piston slapping, engine failing. First diagnosed with Christian Auto Brothers of Concord, NC in December of 2022; then advised to tow to my local Modern Hyundai Dealer in Concord, NC 12:30/22. Same diagnostics, same result. *Hyundai extended their warranty to 140,000 miles for this issue, but refuse to fix since I-??m not the original owner. Purchased June 2022 from Keffer Hyundai Dealership in Charlotte, NC.

The oil light is blinking and car repeatedly shuts off while driving mostly when going 25-45mph. When it shuts off I have to turn it off take the key out and turn it back on until the next time it happens. This usually occurs within an 20 minutes of driving. My safety was at risk because of other cars behind me going speed limit while car automatically shuts off. Car was bought on carvana no local dealer but have taken it to multiple shops and they are shocked to hear of no recall. The car has not been inspected by police insurance but local mechanic shops. Oil light blinks while driving constantly from start to finish while car shuts off steady oil engine and battery light on.

my car will stall randomly at stop signs and red lights with absolutely no warning. it-??s super dangerous and has almost caused a wreck. i have taken it to mechanic and no codes are being thrown and it-??s showing nothing is wrong. it-??s a matter of time a accident happens and someone gets hurt. I would definitely like to figure this out!

My car started cutting off while driving no warning lights on. I had a diagnostic test done and they didn-??t find anything wrong. I-??m so confused about what-??s going on with this car but it-??s very dangerous to drive on the highway. I have had three service checks on my car and it still cuts off in the middle of traffic. I had my brakes and rotors replaced because everytime I hit a pot hole or bump in the road my brake pad gets hard and I can-??t push it to stop but after getting them replaced it still does the same thing.

Car started to shut down with no warning about a month ago. Took it to neighborhood garage and they couldn't figure it out. They called a Hyundai service department and they said they have seen the problem and it is a CR-Sensor. They (Hyundai service dept) sent the part to my garage and they made the repair. Car worked fine until a few days ago when it shut down again with no warning. This can be a serious safety issue if driving on a highway at highway speeds when it shuts down. HOWEVER IT DOES START UP RIGHT AFTER THE ENGINE STOPS.

Engine stall while driving twice. Engile oil was serviced 3 days before the incident. Oil level is good oil indication was flashing for 3 seconds with engine ticking before stalling. Luckily I wasnt driving on the highway. A car should never suddenly die while driving with no warnings.

There is a significant problem with this car where the check engine and dashboard lights flicker on and then the car stalls and loses all power immediately. This has happened multiple times, including on the highway, which was a significant safety hazard. Upon taking the car to a Hyundai dealer, they indicated problems with the engine that require an engine replacement that would cost on the order of $8,000-9,000. Upon further research, we found two class action settlements related to engine problems for Hyundai vehicles of this type/age, but Hyundai says this vehicle is not covered due to mileage of 101,400.

My engine has a hole in the block and the starter completely blew up. Noone can explain how this has happened. The car shop wants $12,000 to repair this. The car never leaked any oil until the day it blew up on me. No check engine light ever came on, no oil light ever came on.
