2017 Hyundai Elantra Complaint Log

THE CAR STARTED TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, NOT MAKING A SOUND . THIS STATED WHEN BH THE CAR MADE 70,000 MILES WITH WARNING,IT WILL TURN OF RIGHT A STOP AND WHILE DRIVING , THE PROBLEM STARTED IN JUNE 2020, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT HONOR THE CLAIM I TOOK MY CAR TO HYUNDAI AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TRYING TO FIND WHAT WRONG. HYUNDAI STATED IT IS ENGINE FAILURE, AND I MAKING PAYMENTS ON THE CAR.

I HAVE A 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH PICKING UP SPEED RPMS JUMPING AND FEELING LIKE THE CAR DOESN'T WANT TO GO. THIS STARTED AT 7,000 MILES AND I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT IT HAS BEEN IN OVER 8 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR OR THAT BECAUSE MY CAR IS NOT THROWING CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS THEY WONT FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY, OR I'M NOT USING A HYUNDAI APPROVED GAS STATION SO THIS IS WHY I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR, NOW AT 29,000 MILES STILL HAVING PROBLEMS ITS THE WORST ON THE EXPRESSWAY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC.NOW I WENT TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED AND FOUND OUT I WAS LOW ON 2 QUARTS OF OIL AND MY SPARK PLUGS HAVE OIL ON THEM ONCE AGAIN THE CAR HAS TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS MADE FULLY AWARE OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF THE ENGINE GOES. I JUST REALLY HOPE I'M NOT ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENS, AT THE BEGIN OF THE YEAR I NOTICED WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP MY HEAT WOULD DROP AND BECOME LUKE WARM IT HAS NOW BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES THE THERMOSTAT HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL HYUNDAI VEHICLES DO THIS. MY HEAT IS DROPPING AT LEAST 58 DEGREES WHEN IDLING AND MY WINDOW IS HAVING A HARD TIME DEFROSTING UNLESS I'M DRIVING. *TR

WHEN I BRAKE THE BRAKES DON'T RESPOND PROPERLY

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.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle started staking and stalling. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where coil #3 was replaced; however, the failure persisted. An appointment was scheduled with the dealer for a second diagnostic test. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 39,378.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD LIKE METAL FALLING ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD LIT UP, THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND STARTED TO SMOKE THEN TURNED OFF. HAD IT TOWED TO A SERVICE STATION AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PISTON FROM THE ENGINE SHOT THREW THE OIL PAN CAUSING THE ENGINE OIL TO POUR OUT AND THE CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SEIZE. *TR

For almost 2 years now I have had issues with my vehicle. In the middle of me driving, all the light would come on and sometimes just the engine light and the car would proceed to stop working. This had happened on the highway while I was pregnant and I almost got into a major accident. I have major anxiety because of the situation. Each time I would get the car towed to the dealership where I purchased it. They will have my car for months at a time, notify me when the issue is supposedly resolved and then return car back to me. A week or 2 later, the problem would happen again. I have had to take my car to the shop 5 major times. My safety, my child’s safety, and husband’s safety have been placed in jeopardy. I am very afraid to even step foot in the car. The problem has never been fixed. My car is currently at the dealership receiving service for the same issue. I am still paying on the car and it hasn’t worked for almost 2 years. I’ve tried to sell the car back to the dealership but they said there is a negative equity on the car and they aren’t willing to pay the difference. When I mention to them all that I have been through with the car, I am told the situation sucks but there is nothing they can do. This car should have been recalled from the beginning and no one ever reported it. I was told by an attorney that after the fourth time, there should have been alternative solutions such as: replacement of the vehicle or compensation. It still makes me feel scared to trust that they will fix the issue because as I have mentioned before, the problem keeps occurring. I have reported to the National BBB and I have 2 cases open with Hyundai Customer Care Center. Hyundai Customer Care Center has yet to respond to me. This issue has effected my ability to go to work because I don’t have transportation, my credit, my safety and family’s safety and overall wellbeing. I’ve tried several times to get this matter resolved. I have all of my receipts.

BACK LEFT DOOR DOESN'T OPEN DANGEROUS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY AC COMPRESSOR MELTED REPLACED AND NOW IT'S MAKING NOISES STRUTS BOLTS CAME LOOSE BRAKES AND SHAKING WHOLE CAR

THE ENGINE STARTED ROUGH IDLING PERIODICALLY (ONCE PER WEEK) AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR (2020). RESTARTING THE CAR WOULD USUALLY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT WOULD USUALLY HAPPEN AFTER COMING TO A STOP AFTER HIGHWAY DRIVING. HOWEVER IT BEGAN HAPPENING WITH MORE FREQUENCY IN APRIL TO THE POINT THAT IT COULD HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES PER DAY. THE ISSUE CAME TO THE HEAD THE FIRST WEEK OF MAY WHEN THE CAR STALLED AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A STREET LIGHT. THIS TIME IT WAS AFTER ONLY MINIMAL CITY-STREET DRIVING. I HAD TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND START THE CAR AGAIN, AFTER WHICH IT WORKED WITHOUT ISSUE. HOWEVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC SAME DAY AND THEY SAID THE CODE INDICATED A MISFIRE. THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND THE IGNITION COIL FOR THE CYLINDER THAT MISFIRED. THE FREQUENCY OF THE ISSUE DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY AFTER THIS REPAIR, BUT IT'S STILL ROUGH IDLING ABOUT ONCE PER WEEK. I DECIDED TO RESEARCH THE PROBLEM BEFORE HAVING MORE WORK DONE AND HAVE FOUND MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THE CAR HAS 41000 MILE ON IT.

THE CAR IS SERVICED EVERY 3000 MILES WITH AN OIL CHANGE. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ONE DAY AND MY TIRES SQUALLED AND MY ENGINE LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT START. THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED DO TO THE MAIN BEARINGS FAILING. *TR

MY 2017 ELANTRA LOST POWER AND DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A COUNTY ROAD. HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK BEFORE IT WOULD RESTART. *TR

DRIVER SIDE BACK DOOR WILL NOT OPEN WITH KEY FOB OR INSIDE HANDLE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY PARKING LOT.

ALL THE DOORS ARE LOCKING AND DO NOT WANT TO OPEN. IT FIRST STARTED WITH THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE DOOR THEN THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND NOW THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR IS NOT WANTING TO OPEN. IT'S A HAZARD IN CASE THERE IS A CAR FIRE

THE DOOR HANDLES ON MY 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA CONTINUE TO FALL OFF. SO FAR, ALL 4 OF MY DOOR HANDLES HAVE FALLEN OFF AT LEAST ONCE, MY DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOOR HAS NOW BROKEN 3 TIMES, PASSENGER FRONT DOOR HANDLE BROKEN TWICE, AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR BROKEN TWICE. CURRENTLY 3 OUT OF 4 OF MY DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN. BEEN WAITING NEARLY 6 MONTHS FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THIS AS A "COURTESY" BECAUSE MY CAR WITH 85K MILES IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

I HAD THE RECALL ON MY CAR FIXED BUT IT IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. WHEN I SLOW DOWN IT WILL JUST CUT OFF ON YOU.

THE CAR HAS BEEN STALLING SINCE LAST FEBRUARY, MOSTLY DURING TURNS, AND WHILE DEACCELERATING. SOMETIMES IT IDLES ROUGH AND STALLS AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER BACK THEN, AND THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY METAL SHAVINGS FROM THE ENGINE PLUGGING THE VALVE THAT REGULATES FUEL. I HAD PERFORMED REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND THE DEALER BELIEVED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE DEALER CONTACTED HYUNDAI, AND HYUNDAI REFUSED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT. THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY GOES AWAY IF I GET AN OIL SYSTEM FLUSH, WHICH I HAVE BEEN DOING FREQUENTLY. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH, THE CAR BEGINS STALLING AGAIN, PRESUMEABLY BECAUSE THE SHAVINGS ARE PLUGGING THE VALVE AGAIN. THE CAR HAS BECOME DIFFICULT TO START. THIS MORNING IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL.

IN JANUARY OF 2019,MY CAR BEGAN SHUTTING OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE BATTERY LIGHT WOULD APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD BEFORE THE CAR WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO HAVE IT FIX BUT NOTHING WORKED. I'M SEPTEMBER 2019, AS I WAS DRIVING 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, I SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD NOISE AFTER WHICH MY CAR SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, AND THERE WAS A MISFIRING. ALL THESE ISSUES WERE'FIXED'. MY CAR HAS CONTINUED TO SHUT OFF AND I HAD TO BRING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AT WHICH I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I AM ANXIOUS AND SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD TO BUY 3-5 BATTERIES SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IN 2016. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

Door locks don't actually do what they are supposed to do. I found that out when my friend opened the door as a joke on a residential street a while back. When put into Drive, in motion, the locks flip to signal that they are locked but say if someone were to pull on the handle, it would still open. I checked all four doors, and they behave like this. I then compared it to my other vehicle, which did not act like this. I have yet to bring it up to the attention of my dealership. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

Both Driver and Passenger doors do not open from the outside.

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). CAR MUST BE PLACED IN NEUTRAL OR PARK AND THEN RESTARTED. CAR WAS TAKEN TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR FULL DIAGNOSTIC WITH NO FINDINGS.

The clutch/transmission clunks or jerks randomly when accelerator is pressed to gain speed, from stop or passing, in any drive mode. Believe this has been going on the past several years.

BACK PASSENGER DOORS WILL NOT OPEN

PUSH BUTTON START GETS STUCK

MY CAR IS CONTINUOUSLY GETTING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND THE CAR RATTLES. DESPITE, VISITING THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES, THE SERVICE CENTER AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN DICKSON CITY, PA CANNOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. 12/10/2019 - MY CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. I TURNED IT ON, THE LIGHT WAS GONE. I TOOK IT THE DEALERSHIP ON VERY SAME DAY AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. ADDITIONAL SERVICES; OIL CHANGE, BRAKE FLUSH AND COOLING SYSTEM WERE COMPLETED. 12/31/2019 ' CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR RATTLES WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY DOING AROUND 55-60 MILES PER HOUR. 01/02/2020 - I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME, THE SERVICE ADVISER SAID "A LOT OF ELANTRAS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE AND NEEDS SOFTWARE UPDATE". THEY SCANNED AND FOUND CODE P030100 / MISFIRE. TECHNICIAN PERFORMED SOFTWARE UPDATE AND ALL THE COST WAS COVERED UNDER ENGINE WARRANTY. 01/27/2020 ' CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AGAIN. THIS TIME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. THEY FINALLY REPLACED SPARK-PLUGS AND COIL PACK ON CYLINDER 2. 03/20/2020 ' DUE TO CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC, I'VE BEEN WORKING REMOTELY SO I HAVEN'T DRIVEN MUCH. 04/18/2020 ' COMPLETED STATE INSPECTION AND EMISSION. SERVICE CENTER PERFORMED MULTI-POINT INSPECTION AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE. 07/15/2020 - THE CAR STALLS AGAIN, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. I STOPPED DRIVING IT AND DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 07/17/2020. 07/18/2020 - TECHNICIAN DID A NEW SOFTWARE PATCH FOR THE SECOND TIME. ADDITIONAL SERVICES: OIL CHANGE, BATTERY AND FRONT BRAKES REPLACEMENT COMPLETED. I THINK THIS NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED AND DESERVE A FULL RECALL FOR ALL THE 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WHO ARE EXPERIENCING ENGINE ISSUES.

PURCHASED CAR FROM DRIVETIME MARCH 2019- HAD SPORADIC PROBLEMS WITH STEERING, WITH ACCELERATION ISSUES. CAR WAS DRIVING OK UNTIL THE WEEK OF DEC. 1ST -CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 12/4 THEN WENT OFF. ON 12/5 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND BATTERY CAME ON AND CAR STOPPED WORK WHILE IN PARKING LOT, AFTER 20 MINUTES TURNED CAR ON-IT STARTED UP ,BUT KEPT SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. ENDED UP AT THE PEPBOY'S DIAGNOSED WITH ENGINE FAILURE.

MY VEHICLE IS A 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WITH 41,000 MILES. I AM THE SECOND OWNER. ON DECEMBER 3RD, 2019, I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE CAR APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. AS MY FOOT WAS PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN, AND THE RPM NEEDLE BEGAN TO BOUNCE AROUND. I PULLED MY VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON. AT THIS POINT THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT OPEN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON, SO I DECIDED TO WAIT TILL THE MORNING TO CONTACT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. AS I DROVE HOME, I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL. I PULLED THE CAR INTO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT AND LEFT IT THERE OVERNIGHT. THE HYUNDAI SHOP KEPT MY VEHICLE TWO DAYS. THEY GAVE ME A LOANER CAR FOR THE SECOND DAY, SO I DID NOT MISS ANOTHER DAY AT WORK. THEY STATED THE ISSUE WAS 'FAULTY IGNITION COILS' AND REPLACED THE WIRES. IT WAS COVERED UNDER MANUFACTURES WARRANTEE THANKFULLY. TODAY, DECEMBER 12TH, I GOT IN MY VEHICLE TO GO TO WORK AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK WHEN I STARTED IT. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY AND I CALLED THE MAINTENANCE SHOP. THEY HAD A LOANER FOR ME WAITING, AND I AM NOW WAITING TO HEAR WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT THIS TIME. I HAVE PUT ON APPROXIMATELY 400 MILES ON THE VEHICLE IN THE LAST 4 DAYS.

FOUR DAYS AGO, AFTER THE CAR WAS PARKED, A PASSENGER COULDN'T GET OUT OF THE BACK SEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SINCE THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN (HE FINALLY HAD TO SLIDE OVER TO GET OUT THE OTHER SIDE). IT SEEMS IT WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SEEMS TO HAPPEN TO MANY OTHER OWNERS AS WELL, AS SEEN ON THE INTERNET WHILE LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION. IT IS STILL A PROBLEM NOW, WHETHER THE DOOR IS LOCKED OR NOT.

White paint peeling from front quarter panel, hood and roof

REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE DESPITE THE CHILD LOCKS NOT BEING ON OR THE LOCK ENGAGED. IT CLICKS AS IF THE DOOR HAS BEEN UNLOCKED BUT WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL. CAR IS IN PARK. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET SOMEONE IN THE BACKSEAT OUT OF THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT AND LOCK INTO POSITION. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

A FEW WEEKS AGO I HAD TO BRAKE REALLY HARD WHEN STOPPING AND I NOTICED THAT MY SEAT BELT DIDN'T LOCK. I HAVE TESTED THE SEAT BELTS A FEW TIMES SINCE THEN AND BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK ANY OF THE TIMES.

STEERING WHEEL IS GETTING HARD TO TURN AT TIMES. IT FEELS LIKE IT IS STICKING WHILE DRIVING

THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ON BOTH REAR DOORS HAVE FAILED PREVENTING THE DOORS FROM BEING OPENED FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE BECAUSE THE LOCKS WILL NOT DISENGAGE. THIS PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE SINCE ANY REAR PASSENGERS ARE FORCED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FRONT DOORS OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HYUNDAI VEHICLES AND CAN COST SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPAIR A PART THAT IS NOT GENERALLY CONSIDERED CONSUMABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR DOORS WERE UNLOCKED HOWEVER, THE DOORS FAIL TO OPEN FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE DOOR WAS ABLE TO BE OPENED FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR FAILED TO OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE DOOR UNLOCKED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. ELDER HYUNDAI (19077 HALL RD, MACOMB, MI 48044, (586) 838-1667) WAS CONTACT BY PHONE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED.

MY 2017 WHITE PEARL HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAS HUGE PIECES OF PAINT PEELING OFF OF THE HOOD OF MY CAR. I NOTICE IT IN OCTOBER 2019 THE BIG PIECE THEN 3 MONTHS LATER SOME MORE BEGAN TO PEEL. *TR

LEFT REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN USING EITHER THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE HANDLE. DOOR IS UNLOCKED AND THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK IS OFF BUT THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN USING EITHER HANDLE. HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR AFTER STOPPING. ALL THE DOORS UNLOCK BUT ONLY THE LEFT REAR ONE WILL NOT OPEN. IF YOU HIT THE SIDE OF THE CAR BY THE HANDLE WITH YOUR PALM THE DOOR WILL UNLOCK AFTER A FEW TRIES, VERY STRANGE. WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE DURING AN ACCIDENT OR EMERGENCY WITH A CAR SEAT OR PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEAT AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO GET THEM OUT.

CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A LEFT FRONTAL/UNDERCARRIAGE ACCIDENT AFTER BEING RUN OFF THE INTERSTATE BY AN INATTENTIVE DRIVER. VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH UPON IMPACT WITH A LARGE DRAIN GRATE IN A POTHOLE. IMPACT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO DEPLOY THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS. SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, FRONT AIRBAGS DID NOT. VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. NO MAJOR INJURIES OCCURRED, ONLY MINOR BRUISING AND BURNS AS A RESULT OF SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. DRIVER AND TWO CHILDREN WERE INSIDE THE VEHICLE UPON IMPACT, ALL PROPERLY RESTRAINED BY SEAT BELTS. POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND FIRE WERE DISPATCHED AS WELL. ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON INTERSTATE 95 S, IN SAVANNAH, GA.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. LEAVING US DRIVING IN THE DARK. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO USE BLINKERS OR SWITCH HIGH BEAMS ON OR OFF. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY IT'S THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH AND WANT 372.84 TO REPLACE IT. MY WARRANTY HAS JUST RUN OUT AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT AND NOW THIS IS OUT AS WELL AS THE BACK DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW, IT'S A 2017. I FEEL THE SWITCH AND POSSIBLY THE BACK DOOR ACTUATOR MUST BE FAULTY.

WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS ON ISDE STREETS IT IS DIFFICULT TO TURN THE VEHICLE, FEELS LIKE STEERING WHEEL IS ABOUT TO LOCK UP. THERE ARE RECALLS ON 2017 HYUNDIA ELANTRAS BUT WHEN I CALLED THEY SAID NOT ON MY VEHICLE. I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRAS BUT MIGHT ISN'T COVERED?
