2022 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“After driving the vehicle for about 5 miles I stopped to make a left turn and when I let off the brake and pressed the gas pedal the car crept forward but wouldn't speed up and the gas engine wasn't starting or even cranking. After about 20 to 30 seconds to gas engine started and the car drove fine for about 15 miles then I went to slow down and the car speed up on it own and the adaptive cruise control was off. Then it drove fine for a few more miles then I stopped at a red light and then began to make a right turn and the car did the same as before. …”

“The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Elantra HEV. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to slow the vehicle, upon releasing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle suddenly accelerated independently. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that the power train control module required a software update. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. …”

“The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated his wife parked the vehicle in the garage and turned off the vehicle.

The dealer was contacted, and they advised to contact the manufacturer. The manufacturer was contacted, and they stated that the contact needed to submit different documents and pictures to inspect the vehicle. The failure mileage was 26,000.”

“Twice with this 2022 Hyundai Elantra a rabbit has chewed partially through a wire to the transmission. Some Soy based coating that Hyundai uses is delicious to rabbits, then they partially chew through the wire, resulting in power and transmission issues during operation, including revving engine, failure to change gears, and unable to reverse. These wires need better protection as being chewed on causes a safety issue while driving before a check engine light comes on.”

“2022 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Limited with 25000 was fine when I drove home from work. An hour or two later, got in vehicle which then shuddered and died. Manufacturer deflected blame to avoid performing repair under warranty but needed a new alternator. Car went into limp mode and just would not start once engine cylinders misfired (all cylinders misfired!). This issue after they refused to repair or tow, deemed it safe but almost wrecked due to it dying when driving off the lot assured there was no issue.”
