My engine light came on yesterday morning and started acting different. I went to a auto mechanic who after inspection told me my engine failed. This car is not that old and has had regular maintenance. I see now that many people have experienced this problem. I can't afford another car and in fact still paying for this one. What can I do?

2014 Hyundai Elantra SE 1.8 routinely maintained and serviced as recommended by service manual. Vehicle was on city streets when it suddenly stalled with no warning lights or indication. Event was accompanied by a knocking sound from the engine area. Ignition cycle makes the condition go away temporarily. Initially this was a rare occurrence. But within weeks the frequency of this engine shutdown at medium, slow, fast speeds increased greatly. Now the vehicle does not operational with less than 100,000 miles. Considering that there are so many complaints about this same problem, this needs to be a recall and Hyundai needs to take responsibility for this problem.

My car started ticking and making loud noise. The next day took to the dealer to have it looked it. I stopped at a light and the car stopped any wouldn-??t go. It was running but no power, the said was the engine. It-??s been at the dealer since beginning July 2022 and they are saying could be October or November before they can work on it. The car only had 50k miles on it and I only purchased it 6 months ago.

The car is stalling with no warning lights. The engine would quit running and I would have coat it into a safe spot, this happened while I was crossing an intersection and driving down the road at 35 MPH or less. I would have to turn the key off and then turn it to start and it would suddenly restart only to stall again. It is not the battery at all. My dad is a mechanic himself and pinpointed the issue to the engine and he said he has never seen an engine quit and restart like this without warning from the check engine light. He believes that it did not fail because of wear and tear but rather from a defect in the engine. He further expanded that the defect can also be connected to a faulty computer system not being able to recognize the engine failure. He feel Hyundai needs to recognize these complaints and take them seriously. Hyundai needs to recall these cars and fix the problem.

Engine has failed at 67,000 and resembles the 2018 class action lawsuit. Dealership/Hyundai Motor will not fix it because vehicle is not in a "cold weather state" even though it is a known issue in the car. I have had the vehicle for not even four years, the vehicle came from a cold weather state where it spent over half the vehicle life and 1/3 of its miles.

- Jacksonville, FL, USA

Engine was experiencing ticking/knocking. Car stalled on freeway, and now the Engine must be replaced. Identical problem as seen in the 2018 class action lawsuit. Car experiencing same symptoms and confirmed by mechanic, despite not being in a cold-weather state.

My car stalled in the middle of driving, had to roll onto a side street, it also stalled or lost pier while getting into a main highway, almost causing an accident, Hyundai claimed they couldn-??t find anything wrong, my car is now at the dealer for a faulty engine, waiting for a new engine at 49000 miles

Good Morning, This model and year of vehicle has had so many defects. I have paid hundreds of dollars over simple vehicle factors that Hyundai Manufacturers should really assess while pushing them to the market. This mode has had many brake light defect all consisting of the electrical wiring. I have changed MANY times the Brie lights bulbs only for them to blowout within a week. This is a roadway safety issue. Worse of all the ENGINE Is Faulty and the vehicles for this specific year tend to seize up or blowout due to the vehicle burning oil WAY BEFORE 3000 miles. I-??ve had to change oil now every month because the engine will literally start making a screeching noise under the hood. Only to realize that the car has zero oil yet zero leaks under 1000 miles of driven. The dealership recently changed my oil and filter and after 1,500 miles I realized the engine making this noise for the 3rd time. I have now filed a complaint with their head office, to only have them dismiss me and not care for the safety of others. I am most definitely not the first person that owns this model and has been phasing with this SAFETY problem. Please help us out and investigate this matter. This is not ethical practice and we should not be worried about our safety on a manufacturing defect.

I had my vehicle serviced to diagnose a ticking problem I had. I was told that it's an engine issue & known to Hyundai. As I was traveling 177 miles from home, the engine lost power and failed. Thankfully it didn't cause an accident. My engine has less than 100,000 miles!!! This should not happen and every engine that experiences this ought to be replaced through a recall!! Probably, most people don't even realize this is a problem and let themselves be taken advantage of.

I purchased this vehicle from Duncan Hyundai in Christiansburg VA on 11/13/2021. When I purchased the vehicle it had 90,588 miles on it. I started hearing a knocking sound coming from the engine in late January - early February 2022 only 2-3 months of having the car. The engine light came on and the car was also smoking some. We checked the oil in the vehicle and it was empty. We put a quart in the vehicle to take it to the dealership. We were told that yes, the vehicle in fact did not have any oil in it. I asked them well were did the oil go" Is there a leak or something" Oil just doesn't disappear like that. The mileage on the car at that time was 93,543. It wasn't even due for an oil change. I was told that this particular vehicle burns oil and every thousand miles & we will have to add a quart to it at that time. We are now monitoring that. I see that Hyundai has an open recall for this same knocking sound and burning oil on the 2019-2020 models. My 2014 is having the same problem and now I will have to take it back and forth to the dealership to make sure they monitor and hopefully eventually fix the problem for me. Again all they said at the moment was add a quart every thousand miles. In a month period (March) I have had to add 2.5 quarts to the vehicle. The vehicle now has a total of 94,916 miles on it. In a total of 1,373 miles it burned 2.5 quarts. What the dealership said about a quart every thousand miles was not correct. It has burned double that amount.

Rob bearing failure, caused my vehicle to lose power and stall while driving highway speeds almost causing a collision.

Car is equipped with NU 2.0 Engine. In September 2019, the Elantra began making a ticking or knocking noise at start up and driving. Unsure what this was, we took it to the dealership where we bought it 2 years prior as it was due for its oil change. There was no check engine light when we discovered this problem. When the tech drained the oil, he claimed there was metal shavings in the oil (he saved them in a bottle for us) and this was due to the knocking engine (piston slap) we had described to the tech. The car had just hit the 80,000 mile mark so this was baffling to us. We had since parked it as we did not have the money to repair the engine. This is a HUGE safety issue. There's a lawsuit against Hyundai for the 1.8 NU Elantra Engines but not the 2.0? It's experiencing the same exact issue but Hyundai will NOT acknowledge their 2.0 NU engines. This is wildly dangerous to the public who got the green light to keep driving their 2.0 engines. We had it towed to Maryland from Washington State as we had moved. It's currently at 1706 Massey Blvd, Hagerstown, MD 21740. It has been there since December of 2019. The engine had been replaced but the dealership wants over $3,000 in repairs. They will not release the car to us until we pay it. The only warning was the noise itself. No lamps, lights or any indication of any fault.
