“My 2017 Elantra with 107,000 miles (it has a 100,000 mile powertrain warranty) on it has just experienced the same issue as all of the other Hyundais that have been recalled. I was driving on Xmas evening 2024 and started hearing my engine making noises I had not heard before when excellerating but then they would go away. On my way home the check engine light went on for a couple of minutes but then went off and I was able to get home although the car did not seem to be riding well. The next day, the check engine light went on again and so I brought it in to my mechanic. …”

“In february 2020, my check engine light came on after my car began to shake violently and lose speed as I drove on the city streets and highways.the serviceman replaced the coils in my car. Within a week, my car started to shake and lose speed again. I took it back to the dealership where they fixed it again to no avail. In early march, my car was still experiencing the same problems: shaking violently and losing speed as I drove on both the highway and on city streets. I chose to try a different service center. …”

NHTSA complaint #11289202, filed 2019-12, 50,000 miles

“A few months after getting the car the engine kept stalling the engine light would only turn on after stalling each time I have brought it to multiple Hyundai dealerships they keep saying it's just a spark plug issue. It's frustrating since once off the lot a week later it's randomly stalling again.this never fixed the issue. The car has stalled both on roads, roundabouts and freeways causing me to nearly be in crashes multiple times, I do not feel safe driving this car. The car is in motion and the engine just stops the car stalls and then the engine light comes on. …”
