You can not open the rear doors. By the handles inside or out. Sometime they will open if you wiggle the outside handle alot of time. The inside acts like the child safety lock is on. The child safety not on. If an emergency happens the people sitting in the rear can not get out. This started in 2020 on driver passenger first as of today 3/30/2021. The rear passenger will not open at all.

Hyundai avoids taking care of their cars by sending out general statements for techs to "fix" these issues but they never do they say I didnt hear it when brought in mulitple suspension electrical issues my husbands 2019 Hyundai eletrical going out. The engine issue all they did was say didnt do it for me. They need to replace all these known issues it is braking down the whole vehichle for both of us. I believe Hyundai is negligent in worrying about the cost of afull recall so they deny anything.I have videos documents, my car went from red gas to green random clicks deterioration. My hubsands car is the only owner engine shudders randomly they do a fake iinvestigation. Hyundai does not care if you die.

Sluggish, shaky and not acceleration engine light comes on intermediately. Code came up P0301. Changed spark plugs, sensor, inclined the catalytic converter two times. Still the problem persists. Took to Hyundai dealership they said one of four coil packs was going out. The problem was intermittent and the light for the engine was not on. The dealership told me the engine light had to be on to diagnose the problem. Then I found out the agent coil packs had an older style and they wanted me to buy their newer style the part number is 27300 - 2E601. They wanted $700 to put in the newer style coil packs. This issue should be a recall since my car was only 3 years old when the problem started.

We are having the same issue with our 2017 Elantra. Door lock operates just fine but the door won't open from the inside or outside. This is definitely a safety hazard as we have our kids out in the back and need to be able to get them out quickly

The passenger side door will not open from the outside if the door has been locked. If the door remains unlocked the door will open from the exterior fine, but after being locked the door will only open from the inside of the car. Others have posted online regarding the same issue.

- Sarasota, FL, USA

Both drivers and rear passenger door actuators have gone bad. I see online this is a very common issue and have been told by the dealership that it is as well. They will not cover the costs of repair. Rear shocks are also worn out and have been told by dealership that this is another common issue. Only 3 years old with 39K miles on the car.

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.

The doors wouldn't unlock, then decided to unlock. The vehicle will only make this loud clicking noise. The battery tests good. The headlights and taillights keep coming on and off even though the vehicle is not on at all. All switches are tuned off and it's not in accc mode. Had to disconnect battery and wait for tow truck.

Once again the car began to shake violently and started lunging forward while driving within city limits. Check engine warning light came on. I pulled over and shut the car off. When I restarted the car, the check engine light was no longer illuminated and the car seemed to drive somewhat normally. This was not the first time this happened, and from what I can tell by reading other similar complaints on the NHTSA website, several people are having these issues as well. It appears to be the ECM, engine control module. Hyundai needs to address this issue asap. It is very dangerous to drive this vehicle. Do not allow them to say you need new spark plugs or a software update. This is a safety issue that needs a recall immediately.

My car had recently began to shake and buck violently while driving with no warning lights or indicators at 38,000 miles. Three weeks ago before a regular maintenance appointment at my Hyundai dealership where I bought the !car, as I turned over the ignition and accelerated the car began to buck and shake violently. As I pressed the gas, the car would not accelerate. I was in the middle of traffic in Washington, D.C. so once I was able to safely move over, I turned the car off and back over. No shaking and continued as normal. Once I took the car in the following week, I was told everything was fine and made sure to mention the shaking and bucking and was told that they didn't see anything. The next day following service and receiving my car back, my car began to shake violently again. Still no warning light indicator. I returned the car to the mechanic where my coil packs were updated (I bought my car March 2017 and was never told about any recalls on coil packs that release late 2017 until this moment). Once I received my car back I was informed that everything was okay. Well it was not. The next day I'm driving my car a short distance when two hard shakes happened. One sounded like two metal pieces colliding. I pulled over and turned the car off and back over. The malfunction indicator light is now permanently on. I had to have my car towed and now being told it could be the transmission but no updates. Seriously unsafe and could've now been in multiple accidents although I've regularly serviced at the dealership I purchased my car.

Both back doors would not open. They would not open from the outside or inside. Major safety issue. I took to shop and they said it was acutator or something like that. Cost over $650 to fix. I had the extended warranty so I got it fixed, "free". but others may not be so lucky. Never been in wreck, completely not my fault at all.

Over the past 2 weeks I have a problem with the head lights shutting off wile driving on main highways at night. This has happened about 8 or 9 times. They will go off when switching from high beam to low beam. If I pull the light switch arm a couple times they do eventually come back on. Also two times in the past 2 weeks my parking lights have come on while parked and car is shut off.

10/7/19 - my car battery was dead after sitting for 8 hours parked. There was no indication that it was losing power and I had brought my vehicle in to be serviced at a Hyundai dealer a week before where they said no issues were seen with my battery at that time. I got a jump and drove home. The next morning my car would not start again. The car was towed to a shop because it couldn't even be jumped at this point. We were told by the same Hyundai dealer the battery was beyond dead. And needed to be replaced. It was barely two years old at this point. But we replaced it. 7/7/20 my battery is completely dead again. Car wouldn't start again today without warning. A repair shop tested it and it was completely drained dead. They said it needs to be replaced. This is the second time in less than one year. This is not right.

I experienced the car idling rough while in park and sounding like it wanted to die out. I took to dealer and they replaced an ignition coil.the check engine light came on. Check engine light just came on again yesterday...took it to autozone and they told me it was the ignition coil again. This will the 2nd time to have it fixed on my 2017.seems like Hyundai vehicles have a ton of issues with ignition coils. After I got my car back it violently shook and check engine light came on. I was on the highway and the speed started to decreased. I reached out to Hyundai corporation about replacement vehicle. I still have not heard anything. I am not the only one with the faulty ignition coils.
