  1. Power train, Engine, Jun 18, 2024

    Vehicle shut off 8 times on my wife while driving. Check engine light did come on with a warning from the vehicle stating a possible issue with our Engine Control System. Shortly after, while ON the roadway, at about 35-40 mph, the car completely shut off. Luckily my wife was going to a church and the church men were able to push her car safely, with our kids inside, off the roadway and into the parking lot. Hyundai Roadside Assistance was contacted and vehicle was towed to Matt Bowers Hyundai in Gulfport, MS on June 5th. During a 12 day stint at the dealership, it was determined that the problem was caused by the open safety campaign (Bulletin 206) and the EGR Valve Assembly was replaced. We took back delivery of the vehicle June 18th, 13 days after the tow/problem.

  3. Other or unspecified, May 27, 2024

    Yesterday May 26 2024 while my husband was driving he had on the air conditioner in our car. Suddenly the warning light went off that car was overheating. This also happened the day before. He was stopped at a light the 2nd time. The car has less then 7000 miles. We recently had the oil and air filter changed at Hyundai dealership. There was no problems at the time of service a month ago. All fluids were normal and everything seemed fine. I don't know why this happened. I googled 2024 Hyundai Elantra and another customer with EXACT same model is also have this SAME issue.

  4. Engine, May 3, 2024

    New vehicle was recently purchased at Hyundai dealership odometer reading 8 miles only. Four days later while driving the engine turns off and all dashboard lights start flashing vehicle stops completely in the middle of the road I immediately turned-on emergency lights to make the cars behind me aware. Looking on my rear mirror I notice a vehicle wasn't stopping and I was about to get rear ended so I suddenly wave my hand out, thankfully he passed right by me, and all traffic slowly comes to a complete stop. There was no warning lamps, messages or problem prior failure. I took the vehicle back to dealership for service maintenance I was informed no problem was found and it was a onetime thing they guaranteed me it wouldn't happened again and unfortunately it did.
