While driving my car it just stops. I have been complaining to the local dealership for 1 year and they keep turning me away. My battery was replaced and that is it. I was told I was exaggerating that this was not happening. Yesterday was different from the other times it stopped. My car stopped on a busy highway and I almost ran off the side of the rode a cliff because the wheel and brakes locked up. No one is taking this serious. As I am driving the car will just shut off. The local dealership advised me to drive even further to get it fixed. How is this safe? I was told by rich its my car I own it its not their problem.

My 2018 elentra value edition started knocking in August of 2018. I called the dealership in chillicothe oh and they told me it was fine to drive and to bring it in the following Monday. They said I should plan to wait while they looked at it and that I would be driving it home that day.. I drove about 20 miles and the engine made a loud noise and died. They never told me what caused the failure but there was oil and chunks of aluminum all over the road. They replaced the engine under the warranty. The car had 33,000 miles at that time. Then on December 23 of 2020 my engine started making the same exact noise. The car is now out of warranty with 144,000 miles on it. I removed the oil pan to find the problem. It was the number 3 cylinder. The connecting rod bearing was bad. I cleaned the journal on the crankshaft and measured it with plastigauge. It was 0.001" over the tolerance. I installed new bearing on all four rods in hopes that 0.001" out of tolerance wouldn't be to much. Every bearing on the rod side was worn out and the coating gone. The bearings on the bottom "cap" side were in decent shape except for the number 3 cylinder which was destroyed. After the engine had started and I had drove for around 5 miles it started knocking again. The journal on the crankshaft is to worn for the bearing to work. I have an engine ordered and I am replacing it myself. I have several years of schooling in auto mechanics and have grown up in a garage, I understand the importance of maintenance and never missed any on my car. It had every oil change with synthetic oil, oil filter changed every time, fluid levels were checked on a regular basis as was the air filter. The car isn't driven hard, there is no reason for the issues I've had other then defective parts or design of the engine in this car.

I attempted to start my car and when I did it every light on the dash was lit up and the gear shift was stuck in park. It happened about two weeks prior and I was able to turn the car off and on a few times and it worked but this time it didn't so I had to have it towed to the dealership. When the tow truck driver came he used some sort of toll he had to unlock the gear shift which allowed it to be driveable. Of course when the dealership looked at it they were unable to duplicate the issue but they found that the ignition coil needed to be replaced and did so.

In November 2018, I turned on my car, and the entire vehicle shook violently. I turned it back off, then on. It shook again, and the check engine line was on. I called the dealership, and they said since the light wasn't flashing, I could drive it over. Turned it on, no issues, drove over. They read the code and replaced the ignition coil. Mileage was 12,884. This morning (May 2), the car tried to turn on, but couldn't (like a dying battery). Oil, engine, and battery lights all came on. Waited a few minutes, tried again, same issue. The third time, it finally started, but shook violently for a couple seconds. No lights illuminated. Called the dealer, they said to drive it over. They are unable to replicate the problem, and said it can't possibly be the ignition coil, and can't do anything for me. The car currently has just over 15,000 miles. All maintenance has been done by the dealership per the schedule. I used the car the evening of May 1 with no issues, as well as for a 45 minute drive on April 29, so, I don't believe it's the battery, either. This is a known issue with this make/model of car. I am afraid it will break down somewhere other than my driveway and leave me stranded or in danger, such as at an intersection.

My Hyundai Elantra brake pedal flutters when I press it to stop giving off a loud noise and doesn't allow me to brake at times. I've taken it to the dealer but they say no issues have been found. What can I do. I'm concerned the prior recall on the the 2017. Here is the link. Https://www.cars.com/articles/recall-alert-2017-Hyundai-Elantra-1420693395015/. also, while driving the car seemed to stall.

When accelerating with moderate to heavy throttle input, the engine emits excessive pinging and rattles noises. It sounds like "spark knock". no matter what brand of fuel or octane I run the car on, the engine makes these pinging and rattling noises. I've brought the car to the dealership service dept. Twice so far to address this concern. I was informed the first time that they hear the noise, but cannot diagnose it because the check engine light isn't illuminated. On the second visit, they told me it is a normal noise for the car. Having owned a handful of vehicles over the years, this noise is indicative of spark knock. If the problem is indeed excessive spark knock, this can lead to catastrophic engine failure, causing sudden loss of all power. After researching the issue online and speaking with other owners, it is apparent to me that it is a fairly common problem with the 2018 Hyundai Elantra sedan. I would like Hyundai to investigate this issue and come up with a fix. This problem has existed since brand-new off the dealer lot. The car currently has approximately 4,000 miles.

I bought the car brand new with 20 miles. I am the only owner. When I bought I noticed the acceleration issue. I informed the dealer 10 days owning it there is an issue on the acceleration. I press gas I can hear the noise on engine as if I was pressing gas and the car is on park. It happened again right before the first maintenance. They assured me they checked it and everything was fine. I was recently on the highway I was driving but I had to slow down due to traffic. When speed picked up I tried to pick up speed and again hit the gas peddle and the car was'nt moving

Car sputters at idle, acting like it's going to cut off. Does not accelerate properly, but only intermittently. One day, the check engine light came on and I could not accelerate and it would sputter at lights. Drove it straight to advance to get the engine light checked; nothing came up. Started the car again and it drove fine, like nothing had happened. Took it to the dealership the next day. They couldn't duplicate the issue. Finally, after letting it idle awhile, were able to get a code on the coils. Replaced them all. Car was running fine after that. The sputtering at idle has now started again.....less than 2 months later.
