2017 Hyundai Elantra Other Problems

Coil 1 & 4 misfire. Won’t accelerate well & engine light blinks. Car will stall then die when engine light blinks too much in 1 minute.

Rear passenger door will not open inside or out. Driver door takes multiple times to open from the outside.very concerned that in an accident someone will not be able to exit.

This is a very unsafe vehicle. There should be a recall!!!! This is a well known problem, yet Huyndai and NTHSA does nothing.

Three out of the four doors are not opening properly. They are either not opening from the inside, not opening from the outside or both. Dealer confirms the problem.

When driving on bumpy roads or a transition to a bridge on a freeway the ABS and traction control will fail. There will be the pulse sound of the ABS but no brakes and the brake pedal will go stiff and brakint will take an excessive amount of time. Sometimes letting go of brake pedal and trying again will resolve issue.

The vehicle will just shut off while driving. I seen that other people with the same make and model is having the same issue. Have had the car in the dealership shop a number of times and they always say they do not know way it is shutting off and two or three days later they say they found the problem and it is fixed.

My car will completely shut off when traveling at a slow speed. I could be cruising to a red light and the car will completely shut off. Traffic on the interstate and I need to slow down...you can bet my car will shut off.

Engine light came on. Whole engine had to be replaced. Found out engines are dangerous and have exploded.

You've been waiting since February 18th for a Hyundai supervisor to contact you about an unresolved vehicle issue, but haven't heard back as of March 16th despite multiple follow-ups. Being without your vehicle is affecting your health and safety, and you're now escalating this to NHTSA for assistance.

When driving at low speeds(20mph and under) vehicle stalls. It appears to happen at random. It makes driving pretty dangerous for other vehicles that would not be able to tell the vehicle has stalled and hit me at low speeds.

unknown, stalls randomly after driving for about 10 minutes

My 2017 Hyundai Elantra has problems with the ignition coil packs, sensors and engine. The car stalls at lights. It idles very rough and shakes when driving.

While driving on highway the vehicle quit running and would not restart. It seemed it lost power prior to completely dying. Check engine light came on when starting and had some hesitation but started then once on highway stalled out.

The 2017 Hyundai Elantra value edition has issues when and after making left turns the vehicle stalls and loses power causing the cluster to light up. Which can be extremely dangerous when operating the vehicle. There is no check engine light or any indicator that turns on prior on the cluster before the vehicle stalls.

The vehicle shuts off without warning when idle. First time it occurred I was is a drive through and I started it up after it stalled.

When driving around 35 MPH my vehicle had a loss of power suddenly shut off. It would not start again... I have 74k miles and the check engine light was not illuminated prior to this incident.

Engine will spontaneously shut off without notice while driving or stationary. This has happened on the street and on the freeway. There is no notice prior to call stalling (engine shutting).

I was driving home from work one night and after leaving gas station pulling out of parking lot I was stopping behind car in front of me when my engine stalled so I put car in park and restarted it only to move about five feet when engine stalled again was able to restart and get out onto highway until I came to a red traffic light as I proceeded to stop engine stalled again after restarting it no issues all the way home two days later I was heading out of work to get lunch and coming around a jug handle car engine stalled again restarted and made it back to work.

I have been having this issue for several months. First, it was the steering wheel being locked. I believe at one point and time on the past they updated the computer on that vehicle.

PROBLEM: DEALER CREATES FINANCIAL BARRIERS TO RECALL COMPLETION I am reporting systematic barriers to recall completion created by Hyundai's authorized dealer that forced me to incur $834.60 in transportation costs for what should be a "no charge" recall repair, potentially discouraging recall compliance.

I bought a car in Hyundai ELANTRA2024 at drivers Mart in Orlando, Florida. About a month after I bought the car I brought it back for something to service dealership area and let them know that the paint was coming off my car. I did notice that there was a tiny little spot that someone putcover paint about a half inch to an inch.

I am extremely frustrated and disappointed with both Hyundai and the dealership’s handling of the recall and the associated repair costs. We received a recall notice for our vehicle last year, at which point we promptly took the car to the Hyundai dealership.

White pearl paint peeling exposing metal while advancing and getting larger. Had issue shortly after purchasing the car and was addressed by dealership. Just got recall notice and VIN search showed it was covered since paint is peeling on the rear of the roof now.

My passenger doors will not open from outside or inside when it is unlocked. It sometimes open when it wants but it causes trouble if I would have to get out of the car.

Doors sometimes fail to open when car is electronically unlocked after being previously locked. This is apparently a well-known problem with Hyundai vehicles. From what I've read, the cable assembly responsible for locking and unlocking the doors is not well made and can either stretch or jump a cog, keeping the door from unlocking.

While driving the vehicle it will start shaking. This has happened at different times and speeds so it I am unsure what the cause is. The check engine light will also come on.

I bought my 17 Hyundai Elantra back in august 22 and noticed sometime after buying it that it smelled like coolant burning when it ran. So I kept my eye out to see if there where any leaks no leaks.

The back passenger door will not open from the outside when it's unlocked and sometimes it will randomly not open from the insides (both doors). It's like I have the child lock on the doors but it's not on

The brakes on this car are HORRIFYING. Sometimes the brakes shudder so hard that your body will physically lurch forward with the braking. (and this is only when braking from 45-50 MPH, anymore feels like the car is falling apart) It feels almost as if the right front brake is ‘sticking’ causing the car to brake unevenly and stop later than it should.

The car shut out of without warning. On 10/6/2021:I pulled into the carport, as soon as I stopped the car shut off. All of the dash lights were off, radio was off, and door with not open with the buttons.

The rear passenger door no longer opens from either the inside or outside. I discovered the issue while trying to unload my car after a trip to the store. It was working in the morning and when I returned home and parked, the door handle no longer worked.

Driver side door periodically will not open from the inside or out. Just started happening about 2 weeks ago. Thought it was my key fob dying however I replaced the battery and it still is causing the same issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle would not immediately stop. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the brake pads however, the failure persisted.

I had a check engine light come on and it was related to the heater core or something of that nature, when I stopped to have a parts store run the code. They asked me if it was overheating, I told them no. About a month later the weather started getting cold and when I went to defrost my windows there was only cold air blowing out when the car was warmed up.

Couple of months ago I couldn't get either of my back doors to open up, from the inside or outside. I took it to the dealership and got it fixed with extended warranty. I made a complaint on here then and noticed others were having the trouble.

This is the second time this happened when driving on the road the car started shaking it would not increase in speed taken it to the dealer it was the ignition coil #3 the dealer stated that this is a common problem and might happen again as hyundai will not cover to replace all 4 coils just the bad one that was in may 2019 now it started shaking again this time I was backing up out of a parking spot it is ignition coil #4 only 3 months later I had to put the car in park and wai for the shaking to stop blocking traffic

I leased my 2017 hyundai elantra brand new. The thermostat had to be replaced after 3 days and the car had heat for the next 3k miles. Since then the car has had poor heat and eventually just stopped producing any heat.

I recently purchased a 2017 hyundai elantra from non-hyundai dealer. At the time of the sale, a single key was provided versus a key fob. After driving the vehicle for a short time, the alarm went off on the vehicle which was unknown to me that the vehicle had an alarm.

Blows cold air when idling in cold weather(below 0) temp guage drops to cold ,windshield starts fogging up have to pull over turn blower down one speed or it won't heat up again !! Pretty dangerous in highway traffic !

THE 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA ALL-WEATHER FLOOR MATS HAVE DEEP RUBBER GROOVES THAT RUN PERPENDICULAR TO THE DRIVER'S LEGS CAUSING THEIR SHOE TO BE MOMENTARILY TRAPPED IN THESE DEEP RUBBER GROOVES. THE EXTRA MOTION NECESSARY TO RELEASE YOUR SHOES FROM THESE GROOVES CAN PROMOTE A SAFETY HAZARD IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. ARE THESE FLOOR MATS BEING RECALLED?

LEASED A BRAND NEW HYUNDAI ELANTRA 2017 WITH A KNOWN BRAKE SAFETY ISSUE WITHOUT THE ISSUE BEING REPAIRED PRIOR TO OR BEING NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY OF THE ISSUE AT THE TIME OF THE SALE. THE PURCHASE WAS MADE 4 MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL STARTED FROM THE BAY RIDGE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN BROOKLYN, NY. NHTSA RECALL #17V063000

WHEN I START MY VEHICLE IS SHAKES VERY BAD. I LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND IT WILL STOP HOWEVER WHEN I'M STOPPED AT A RED LIGHTNING IT WILL BEGIN AGAIN. I JUST GOT MY CAR LESS THAN A YEAR AGO , LESS THAN 20.000 MILES AND I'M UP TO DATE ON ALL MAINTENANCE.

I WAS IN AN OPEN PARKING LOT, I REVERSED MY CAR OUT OF THE PARKING STALL WITH 1 CAR ON THE PASSAGE SIDE, NO CAR ON THE STALL RIGHT NEXT TO THE DRIVER SIDE BUT THERE WAS A PARKED CAR RIGHT NEXT TO THE EMPTIED STALL. WHEN MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF THE PARKING STALL, I TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT (NOT ALL THE WAY) SO THAT I WAS IN AN 45 DEGREE ANGEL TO DRIVE OUT. I PUT MY FOOT ON MY BRAKE TO CHECK IF THERE WAS ENOUGH ROOM FOR ME TO DRIVE OUT. SUDDENLY, I FELT MY CAR MOVED SLOWLY ON ITS OWN, MY INSTINCT AT THAT TIME TOLD ME TO PUT THE CAR ON PARK GEAR. AS SOON AS I DID THAT THE CAR ROLL BACKWARD FASTER AND STOPED UNTIL I STRUCK THE PARKED CAR NEXT TO THE EMPTIED STALL IN THE PARKING LOT . MY CONCERN IS WHY THE CAR STILL MOVED IF IT WAS ALREADY IN PARK GEAR. OR IS THE CAR SUPPOSED TO STOP WHILE IN PARK GEAR? I DON'T KNOW CAR REALLY WELL SO I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT IT SCARED ME TO KNOW THAT PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK GEAR IN THIS SITUATION DID NOT STOP THE CAR FROM MOVING. I AM NOT SURE IF THE MANUFACTURER EVEN TEST THE CAR IN THIS SCENARIO.

I HAVE HAD MY ELANTRA FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW AND IT HAS AROUND 13,000 MILES ON IT. ALMOST THREE WEEKS AGO MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS IT CAME ON. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, THEY TESTED MY CAR, REPLACED THE WIRING HARNESSS AND STILL COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. I GOT A CALL ON TUESDAY OF THIS WEEK AND WAS TOLD THAT A MOUSE HAD CHEWED THROUGH ALL THE WIRING IN MY FUSE BOX. I WAS INFORMED NOT ONLY BY THE GUYS AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT ALSO BY MY REGULAR MECHANIC THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST NEW CARS DUE TO THE FACT THAT A SOY BASED INSULATION IS USED TO PROTECT THE WIRING INSTEAD OF PATROLEUM BASED. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THERE ARE GUARDS THAT CAN BE PUT ON THE WIRES TO PREVENT THIS PROBLEM FROM HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT IT CAN BE AVOIDED JUST BY SIMPLY PUTTING A GUARD ON THE WIRING. I HAVE TO GO THROUGH MY INSURANCE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM NOW BECAUSE HYUNDAI WON'T FIX IT THEMSELVES SINCE IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

WE JUST PURCHASED AN ELANTRA LIMITED. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE ELANTRA CAN BE TURNED OFF WHILE NOT IN PARK WITHOUT ANY KIND OF WARNING/BUZZER GOING OFF TO REMIND THE DRIVER THAT A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION IS IN PLAY. MOST DRIVERS GRAB THE KEY WHEN LEAVING THE CAR AND CANNOT PHYSICALLY REMOVE THE KEY WHEN THE CAR OUT OF "PARK". THIS PREVENTS THE CAR FROM ROLLING DOWN A HILL AS THE DRIVER WALKS AWAY. THE KEY-LESS IGNITION HAS BYPASSED THIS SAFETY FEATURE. THIS SITUATION WILL LIKELY BE ADDRESS BY CLASS ACTION SOONER THAN LATER. IT WOULD BE VERY THOUGHTFUL IF SOMEONE COULD PREVENT THE HUMAN COST THAT IS LIKELY TO ENSUE.

The paint on the hood and areas above the doors keeps chipping and flaking off. You've already had it repainted once, but the problem is happening again. The repair will likely involve sanding down the affected areas, reapplying primer, and repainting those sections.

This is for a paint problem that my car has lost its paint within six months. My car is peeling off very fast and there was a class action lawsuit. And now a new one has started.

Door lock actuator on rear driver's side door not working. Door stuck closed, even though power to lock is present and locking / unlocking mechanism works. Door will not open from inside or outside.

Vehicle passenger door suddenly became unable to open. Mechanic said this is a common problem in many models and years of hyundais.

My alarm keeps going off and car won’t start

The rear passenger door will NOT open from inside or outside. The front passenger door will ONLY open from the inside. This is a safety concern with young children in car seats in the back or for general emergencies.

Driver's side door will not unlock. The other 3 doors unlock, but I have to go over to the passenger side and reach across to unlock the driver's side. I am an elderly female and it could be very dangerous out in a parking lot to be a victim of theft or violence.

Front passenger door doesn't open from the outside and rear left door won't open from the outside or inside of the car.This is a safety issues and I have kids, my son also has Autism.

The car door will not open from inside or outside. This is the 3rd door that this has happened too

My passenger rear door in my 2017 Elantra won’t open from the inside or out. Nothing is making it open. I looked it up and it’s very very common in this year of Elantras .

The door opening mechanism in both the drivers door and the right rear passenger door continually does not allow the door to open resulting in the driver and passenger becoming trapped in the vehicle, and often does not allow opening of the door to enter the vehicle.

vehicle stolen.

Right out of warranty sudden engine heat fluctuations, hot air stopped blowing and cold air is inconsistent. I changed relays and fuses to be safe . Very unhappy about dangerous unreliable products the engine warranty should be extended to this vehicle I have a heart condition.

Roadside assistance locke d keys inside car

Paint peeling on hood

Rear driver door won’t open inside or out. Unable to get to the child lock

The white paint on my 2017 Hyundai Elantra is peeling in large chunks. This may not be a safety issue, but it is a legitimate concern because the Hyundai Corporation is selling vehicles with faulty paint jobs with no recourse to the consumer. The problem is seen on numerous Hyundais driving down the road.

The paint on the hood and fenders are peeling off. If it’s washed off with a hose, the paint comes off

Rear door isn't open able. While there's not inherent risk a faulty door could lead to a significant safety risk is a hazardous situation.

Car is easy to steal because you only need a USB to start the ignition and someone recently attempted to steal mine, but was caught in the act.

My car was stolen because Hyundai manufacturers have made them easy to break into and start without a key (there is currently a lawsuit going on for Hyundais/Kias). My car was stolen during daylight hours even though it was locked with no valuables inside and parked in the open. I should feel safe parking my car, but even if I get it back, I don't know that I ever will again.

Passenger front door outside latch will not open door, and the same thing happened on the drivers side!

Pressed the unlock button on the fab and the front passenger and back left passenger will not open anymore

Doors stop opening. Unable to open 3 out of 4 doors. Door will not open from inside or outside.

Rear passenger Door Will not open from the inside or outside. Huge safety issues if get in a wreck and can get out.

This is a manufacturing defect issue, not a safety issue. The paint on my white Hyundai Elantra is peeling from the undercoat on the hood. The mileage is just about 8,000 miles past the paint warranty.

At only 88,000 miles my AC compressor went out. It cost around $1000 to replace. While my car was in the shop they mentioned several others were in for AC issues.

Rear door locks have both failed. Doors cannot be opened from inside or outside, making this a safety concern. I cannot get my children out of the rear seats except through the window.

While this may not be a safety issue, the paint is peeling on the hood of the car. There are several other places where the paint is beginning to peel on the hood, as well. There is one place on the roof of the car that is beginning to peel.

Rear right door not unlocking from either outside.

I have to change out my lights every 3 months. It's been an ongoing issue for over 2 years.

Rear passenger door will not open from the inside or outside. Lock mechanism opens and closes with fob or door unlock button but door will not open at all.

The driver's door only opens about 10% of the time from the outside. It opens fine from the inside. I usually have to get in the passenger's side and open the driver's door from the inside to get in the car.

Rear driver passenger door will not open inside outside. It worked fine, then I locked it and went into work and now it won't open at all. Child lock.was in use and I have been unable to get it to open.

The exterior door handle on my drivers side stopped working and now I can only open it from the inside. This happened randomly after I was parked in a parking lot for only 4 hours. It was working fine before that.

Push button start gets stuck

The seal on the back doors kept coming off and people almost tripped trying to get out the door. Had to purchase sealant to and line it up on the door. But it was so embrassing.

I've had my rear right door on child lock for a while now, I use that door every day, but the door is not opening all of a sudden, I tried pulling the handle from outside and giving a gentle push from inside at the same time and nothing. I've tried locking and unlocking the door numerous times and still nothing.

If I'm with in 100 feet of my car anybody can open my doors..... My safety is now a concern!!! This is a huge problem!!

While driving, my car started to make a beeping sound I had not heard before. I looked at the dashboard and the multi-media system and I did not see any warning indicators/lights. When I stopped at a red light I put the car in park, turned the car off and turned the car back on (push to start).
