2017 Hyundai Elantra Electrical System

There was a recall Electronic Power Steering (EPS) motor connector that was being done for 2017 hyundai elantras and my car is affected by it. Hyundai is saying my car is not affected by the recall that they put out for this issue.

Odometer Fraud. The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle to an independent mechanic for servicing, the contact was informed that there was a mileage discrepancy. Additionally, the contact was informed that the check engine warning light had been tampered with and tape had been applied over the check engine warning light prior to the purchase. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of purchase, it was reported that the mileage was 85,000, and upon taking the vehicle to an independent mechanic shop, it was discovered that the mileage on the Carfax report was 215,000 on September 2024.

Constant misfire issue causes vehicle fo completely bog down while driving..

My auto has a problem with the brake light on the drivers side not working at some times. The issue seems to happen almost every 6 months or so. The first time it stopped working, I took my auto to the dealership where i purchased it from costing me about $65.00, the second time 6 months later the brake light went out again. The bulb was replaced by the dealership at no charge, I was told that the bulb was put in wrong. The brake light is now out again. I noticed that it may come on but when I press the brake pedal and release the emergency brake, it goes out and stays out until I shut the auto off for a long period of time. Often it will be on when I'm driving and then it goes out.

Hi the smart junction box on this vehicle is acting up. When riding in free way all doors locked open automatically and then the headlights just went off, and all the 4 blinkers stopped working creating hazard to all people in the freeway including mine . Mechanic has quoted me 2k to fix the issue and replace the Smart junction box . Please provide me fairness in this matter

Power windows stop working, car cuts off, heated seats stop working intermittently

Rear Passenger door does not open.

My car has been dying while on the road when I'm slowing down. I have spent $2,700 to get this issue fixed, and after replacing everything the computer said was wrong, the auto shop has determined that the issue is, in fact, the computer itself. There is nothing left to fix, but the car still will completely shut down while driving. Not safe at all, especially since I live in a high traffic area. There are no warning signs before the car shuts down, but lights do show up on the dash when it has shut down. The check engine light, oil light, and battery light come on.

When car is unlocked the drivers door will not open until you pull 3 times. Now the passenger door will not open at all from the outside. You have to open door inside car and push door open.

I received a mailer and text with my VIN stating I had the 993 recall for my anti-theft software in March. I made an appointment beginning of April for May1st for the recall, after going to the dealership I was informed the recall did not exist and the mailer was wrong. After calling hyundai service I was informed that an appointment could be made to fix it and then after another call to Hyundai I was informed that the recall did not apply to my car, also during this call the lady told me that I can just buy a wheel lock to fix the issue.

My car was serviced according to the recall sent by Hyundai to install anti-theft security software to my vehicle. My car was locked, broken into, and stolen with the installed security 3 months later. The attached summary outlines the details of the car as it was purchased, recalled, stolen, and recovered, with pictures of the damage included. The Hyundai recall software was not installed correctly or is not effective at preventing vehicle theft for automobiles without immobilizers.

Two ignition coils have failed. The first was covered under warranty, the second wasn't. We were told the ignition coils are a known issue and we should expect the remaining coils to fail soon. If it's a known issue, why hasn't a recall been done?

rear door actuators cease to unlatch despite being engaged from the interior and exterior handles to open while unlocked.

While sitting at a busy red light (02/15/2022), the car just cut off. No warnings, no lights, just cut off. After several attempts, I managed to get car started. Traffic was piled up behind me. I took it to a local auto store that will run engine checks for free. No problems were found. The employee said it just registered "recharge battery". The car had no more problems that day. I did report it and was supposed to "stop by dealership" in the next few days, as this was "not a safety issue and it could be recharged quickly". The next evening, my daughter drove me to the store for some needed items. On the way back, she was slowly veering right at a yield sign and the engine cut off again. It was dark and the way the road curved, cars coming from behind us would not be able to see us. We were afraid that we would be hit from behind, causing injury to us and anyone in the other vehicle. The car would not restart. As the car was still slightly rolling, my daughter tried to veer over into a parking lot, to get us to safety. In the darkness, she was unable to see a ditch beside the entrance of parking lot and we fell straight into it, headfirst. We called for a sheriff's deputy, who came quickly. He mentioned that we were not in a safe area for "strangers". He placed his car, with his lights flashing, in the lane, near the intersection, in order to alert drivers coming near. I was told to have it towed to dealership. (I had just purchased it 12/24/2021.) Deputy did not make a formal report, as he stated their policy is to NOT do that in accidents with just one car. We had the car towed as instructed and a friend came to drive us home. This started a long, legal process with the dealership, which I can give further details on, if needed. My daughter and I could have easily been hit from behind. We could have been severely injured or lost our lives. An unsuspecting driver veering right at that intersection could have had the same fate, as it was too dark to see our car.

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

HEADLIGHT BULB CONTINUES TO BURN OUT AND BULB WIRING MELTED FOR SOME REASON.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ON AUG 26, 2018 THE CAR STARTED MISSING WHILE DRIVING. IGNITION COIL WAS FOUND TO BE FAULTY AND REPLACED BY THE DEALER. THIS WAS THE SECOND INCIDENT INVOLVING AN IGNITION COIL WITH THIS VEHICLE.

PASSENGER WINDOW IF ROLLED DOWN IT WILL NOT GO UP RIGHT AWAY, AND PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. HAVE TO OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE OF THE HANDLE.
