Bought the car a yr ago and transmission started slipping and stalling sometimes even engine shutting off while driving at higher speeds unable to steer and when pulling into traffic is on interstate almost got hit because I could not speed up it's also using double the fuel while driving longer distances I tried to use my warranty 2x before my warranty was up but both neither time did Hyundai in Owensboro check what I booked the appt for. First one was booked to check transmission and power issue then called the day before and added oil change. When I arrived the tech retyped my order and changed the oil. Brought my keys I asked about the power/transmission issues and was told they didn't know to check that but at that point there was no time and had to reschedule... So I did. Waited almost 2 months booked appt for transmission / power issue and also check the fuel usage. Finish the service call quoting me over $1300 to fix the fuel issue because no one could find my warranty eventhough I had my original paperwork showing who warranty was with and also the acct number for the warranty. When I asked about transmission or power issue I was told there was no one to check that and I had to rebook but this time it was going to be 8 weeks and by then my warranty had expired. I feel like Hyundai did this on purpose because they are in cahoots with the lot I bought the car from. Now my car is getting worse and worse and scared to even drive the car im overpaying for. This was my first Hyundai and more than likely will forever be my last because the car I got was a lemon it seems, the customer service was worthless and the service even worse. I'm reporting to BBB and everywhere I can.

For the past three years I have had to add oil to my car proir to the 3000 mile mark that is recommended. As of the past year, I have had to add oil every 1000 miles. I have had several oil changer businesses tell me that they see this issue all the time with Hyundai vehicles. My car is used to get me to work, doctor appointments, children to school/appointments, grocery store. I live seven minutes from my work. I live three minutes away from the store I grocery shop at. And two minutes from my children's school. I am now starting to hear noises in the engine and I'm fearful this has caused further damage to my car. If I had been made aware of this persistent issue at the time of purchase, I would not have chosen this vehicle. The car never indicates that I'm low on oil. If it runs low prior to the 1000 mile mark it makes an awful rattling noise. My car has been taken into the Hyundai dealership where I live and the issue hasn't been fixed, because they can't fix it. I am very surprised there has not been a recall of these vehicles for this reason.

Component or System that Failed or Malfunctioned: Engine or other I was driving my 2016 Hyundai Elantra in Kissimmee, FL, 34746 when the engine suddenly lost power and the car stalled out. The rpms dropped to 0, and the car could not be restarted. I was able to coast to the side of the road, but I was nearly hit by oncoming traffic. After several minutes on the side of the road, I was able to restart the vehicle to arrive safely home. The vehicle also shuts off at stop lights, drive-through, or idle. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk" The loss of power while driving could have caused a serious accident. If I had been in the middle of the road or if there had been more traffic, I could have been hit by another vehicle. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No, I have not yet taken the car to a dealer or independent service center. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, the vehicle or component has not been inspected by anyone other than myself. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear" No, there were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The check engine light seems to come and go. I am requesting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) investigate this safety problem. I am also requesting that Hyundai Motor America recall all 2016 Hyundai Elantras that may be affected by this problem. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Brake and fuel lines corroded due to failure of manufacture to coat lines completely. Lost brakes completely without warning. Confirmed by Hoffman and Burnham auto services. Also contacted Garvey Hyundai who stayed this is a problem with these vehicles. Contacted Hyundai customer service as there is a Recall issued in Canada for this problem. Hyundai stated no foreseeable recall in the U.S. Lost of brakes could be deathly, not to mention high risk of fire and death if fuel lines corroded thru

So back in November of 2020 I had a few instances where my car had issues shifting into a different gear while I pressed the gas. It was like it stalled and was suspended for a moment making a really weird noise and then got punched into the next gear super fast and made a bad noise. I was driving between 20-35 miles when these occurrences happened. I went to the Hyundai dealership and had them look at my car but they found nothing. The mechanic test drove it but they found nothing was wrong. The attendant made notes on my account about all of this so that there would be a record. He told me to come in again if I had any more issues like this. Fast forward to now March 19th 2022, there were 4 occurrences in one day, where my car felt like it was stalling differently. While I was pressing the gas pedal driving between 20- 30 miles when suddenly it felt like there was a delay like liquid trying to pass through a tube but bubbles of air were blocking it from getting the liquid to flow. Which made my car shake and feel like I was driving over a bumpy road. I feel like if there had been cars in front of me for the first few instances, I could have rear-ended them. Luckily, that was not the case. Now, for the other occurrences on March 19th, 2022 if a car would have been going faster behind me, they could have rear-ended me, especially because of the stalling in acceleration. I've made an appointment with the dealership for the end of this week but I am rrying to go in as soon as possible to get this looked at. I think its either a transmission, engine, or fuel system error just for the simple fact of pressing the gas and feeling it stall and have to force itself into a different gear.

I was driving on the street when I reached a stop light. I came to a complete, full, and safe stop. The car was stationary. And before this day that this all happened, the car was in perfect driving condition. Nothing was wrong from what I could tell. I then turned the car off and turned it back on, in the front of traffic forming behind me. It kept shutting off every time I would stop or slow down. It happened about 7 times before I went back to the dealership I bought it from.

I have had problems with my vehicle for a year now. I took the car to Hyundai several times to get my vehicle service and each time they were unable to duplicate the problem. The problems I am experiencing are a delay in acceleration, car shuts off occasionally while driving, car shut off occasionally when switching to reverse, the car always shakes and makes a weird noise just before shutting off. The car jerks when driving spontaneously, low tapping noise under the hood that could be heard inside the vehicle. I have videos of my car shutting off while driving and backing up. I also have videos of the tapping noise and shaking just before shutting off. The last time I took my car to be serviced I was told that the oil pressure pump and exhaust cvt need replacement. I was told the Hyundai techline instructed the technician not to make any repairs because the technician was unable to duplicate the problem. I was advised by a Hyundai case manager to take my vehicle to another Hyundai shop to see if they can duplicate the problem.

When I attempt to start the car the engine turns but won't turn over. The car does this more often in very cold weather. Even in warm weather it will start sometimes and sometimes I have to try multiple times and sometimes it will not start at all. There are no check engine or other indicators that there is an issue with the car. The only other thing that may or may not be related that is different from what I normally expect is that sometimes the while driving, the car will not accelerate in a timely manner. There is a bit of a hesitation as if the fuel output is not increasing. This happens while I'm already driving (for example when I'm going from the access road and entering the highway or when there is a speed limit increase of some kind). I was told by a mechanic that the part affected is connected to other systems in the car that have an electrical component such as the fuel pump.

My vehicle smells like gas inside the cabin and I can also see the gas fumes coming out of the gas tank once it hits 100 degrees.it is worse when stopped and stop and go traffic due to the air not blowing it away like it does when you keep driving..how is this safe"what if someone smokes? or a spark hits the gas tank.please check this out so I know my family and I are safe driving this vehicle in the heat..I had the car checked for leaks and no gas leaks.Hyundai gave me a generic paper about it saying thats what it is suppost to do.I just want to know how safe is this vehicle"

My 17 year old was driving down the road after just completing a turn, when the warning lights for battery, engine, and oil came on, the car slowed and stopped running. She tried to restart, nothing. 5 mins later, a friends dad started it with no problems. This is an extremely dangerous problem. Took it to service place and was told they had seen this before in Hyundai Elantra, we were told it is a "flooding" problem that Hyundai is looking into. This should be an immediate recall to fix. I can't afford another car for her and she is stuck driving this back and forth to college this fall. Imagine driving a car that turns off at anytime.

I drove slowly through the parking lot at work and pulled into a parking spot. Instead of stopping, the car suddenly swerved, lurched forward and crashed into the cement base of a light pole. The car kept grinding into the cement base. I was helpless to stop the destruction of my car. The repair shop has had my car for one week but no repairs have been made yet. The repair shop is awaiting the decision from the insurance company. The damage to my car is over $10,000. I have previously experienced a loss of power when driving my car. There have been times when the car has tried to accelerate on its own and would lurch forward. I have been a safe driver for many years and had never gotten a ticket nor been in an accident before. I have read reports of other people having problems with their Hyundai cars unexpectedly crashing into parking garage walls, objects, or other cars. I do not know the cause of this dangerous malfunction of the Hyundai car but the cause needs to be determined before someone is badly injured or killed.

I bought a new Elantra in Oct. 2015 with 13 miles on it. I was told by dealer that I would get no less than 30 miles per gal. I have never got more than 25 mpg I'V taken it back to the dealer three time they drive it and say the computor says your getting 35 to 40mpg. I tried to show them actual documentation sense I have kept written records every sense the day I've bought this car.
