I have a 2016 Hyundai Elantra 6 speed manual. I've owned it since new and it has a 183000 miles and I have not experienced any of those issues. The only issue was the ac compressor went out at about 70000 miles and it was covered under warranty. I've done all the oil changes myself and primarily used mobile one full synthetic with Hyundai filters. Car still runs great and doesn't burn any oil at all.
I have no problems with my 2014 elantra just a crank sensor i had to replace. At 160k now no major problems VERY reliable car. I always recommend to friends as one of my favorite cars that i owned.
There's a lady who has a 2013 Elantra and hit a million miles on hers without a rebuild to the engine. Her transmission though was replaced by a little over a half million miles. You can find that review on Google. I have a 2012 Elantra and I'm currently at 251,000 and some change. My 0nly issue was a crank sensor. Even at this point it doesn't burn or leak any oil and still no piston slap. I keep a record book on all my vehicles and equipment.
I've had my 2012 Elantra for about 6 years, has about 103,000 miles on it and it's been great. I've done all preventative maintenance items on time too. Only issue I've noticed is in the dead of winter, you have about a 10% chance of getting a slight grinding noise on a cold start (I'm talking if it's like 15 degrees Fahrenheit or colder outside after it's been sitting 12+ hours). That's been my only concern with the car so far, we'll see if it starts to cause problems or not. If it does, I'll probably get a Camry or something haha
That particular vehicle was used as a delivery vehicle. It had minimal cold starts and wasn't used much in stop and start traffic. It was also meticulously maintained. Almost any vehicle can reach a million miles under similar conditions and owned by someone who is willing to replace parts as they fail.
I have a 2011 Elantra 270k kilometres on it. Very reliable and running perfectly. Seeing these videos would make you think all Hyundais are crap .. which isn’t the case
@Mysterious Master Yoshi the only reason to be concerned is if the prior owner(s) beat on the vehicle and/or was poor at maintainence. These cars WILL tell you when something is wrong. They do so quite well and they do so quite vocally. Which makes maintenance even easier. Elantras are essentially a Korean-made civic equivalent. Small, economy car, somewhat sporty, extremely reliable with a few outliers.
My 2011 Elantra has done 210Ks and has always run well. Started running rough the other day......replaced the ignition coils and it's running like new again. Great, reliable little car
138,000 miles on my 2013 Elantra. That tick is only on the cold start and disappears after 5 seconds . Unfortunately very common on Hyundai and Kia. However, my Elantra has been super reliable and has never had an issue other than regular maintenance. 10 years trouble free. Use Full Synthetic every 5000-6000 miles.Judging by the neglected front rims, that engine was probably neglected too.
I'm coming up on 200,000 on my 2012 and she's been great value for money. Have the piston ticking and steering click, but she's still going. Do my own synth oil changes at 6/7,000 and regular air filter swaps. Served me well.
I own 2015 Hyundai Elantra it has 120, 000 miles on it. The car is with me about a year and half, and I quickly fall in love with car since the first day I got it. I didn't experience all issues that were mentioned on the video. The only thing what I noticed is the ticking noise in the morning, and it goes away as soon as the engine reaches to it normal operating temperature. It is great gas sever car!! My mechanic told me that few issues( mentioned on the video) exist from year 2011-2013. He gave me few tips,1/ Do not skip oil change2/ He recommends ticker oil like 10w-30 fully synthetic. Change transmission oil if it is old, and use original oil from the dealership. Also, for winter, the 50/50 coolant ratio must be done according to the manual. If the car was abused by previous owner, yes you might experience those issues. More importantly, service your car (any kind) on timely basis. So, about the video 5 problems🤔🤔??, not on me.
2015 elantra 1.8 liter with 105k Miles. I've had absolutely Zero issues so far (Purchased it brand new, 5000 Mile synthetic oil changes) Car still runs like new. It does have the cold engine rattle but quiets down after 2-3 minutes. Every 1.8 liter i've heard sounds the exact same. They are noisy, but reliable and get great fuel mileage.
Didn't need to change my steering coupler until about 195,000 miles, changed alternator at about 210,000 miles so. Had the clock spring changed at 200,000 miles, warranty item so no cost to me. Now at 310,000 mile I think I may need fuel pump changed. I've read that fuel pumps typically last 100,000 mike, a few last to 200,000 miles, no articles stated they last to 310,000 miles, so I'll call that good. Of course mine gets regular maintenance, all belts and hoses changed every 4 years, regardless of how good they may look, oil changes every 6k miles, plugs every 80,000 miles and coils only changed them once so far at about 225,000 miles.
Never had a problem with my 2015 Elantra. Always replaced oil. Replaced tires. Currently at 142,529 miles. Only issue is the radio not properly connecting to my phone. I’m about to replace it to a touch screen soon. Love this car! Just regular maintenance. Had this car for over 5 years
Thanks for this. I have a 2010 Hyundai Touring L. Use full synthetic oil every 6000 kms - 175,000 kms. Follow the manual i.e. new timing belt @ 100,000 kms etc. Love the car and no issues.
Thank you. I have had all of those problems on my 2013 Elantra, plus 3 more... trunk latch, driver air bag, and paint is just popping off. They did replace engine at 60, 000 miles. Engines made in Alabama had shaving contamination, while those made in Japan were fine. At 100,000 tune up, they some how fouled a plug and harness. Never again.
My wife has a 2013 Hyundai Elantra with over 200,000 miles on it. We have had none of those problems and its been a very reliable car. Nothing worse than routine oil changes, tires, brakes, windshield wipers, changing plugs and coil packs (once: 2 coil packs bad - why gamble on the other 2), transmission oil flush (once - likely needs it again soon), etc. A few factory recalls for relatively minor issues (the latest being changing the computer program so it's not so easy to steal).
This video should be called top 5 problems if you don’t maintain your car. My car has been working perfect & never had a issue & it’s close to 250k miles!
2015 Elantra Sport with the 2.0L. Mine has 164k on it now (original engine) and all the only big issue I have with it except for the EVAP leak, is the piston slap issue while it burns a quart every 250-300mi. Original clutch, no big repairs done to it except basic maintenance. I just keep topping off oil and changing it every 3k and car is happy.
2011 Elentra 94K miles..Made in Korea. I made sure not to buy one from USA. No issues. I do all maintenance myself including Oil,Plugs,Filters,Brakes. Just replaced original plugs with same OEM NGK plugs ($17 each, wow alot of $$), but lasts 100k. Still runs as smooth as I bought it. Hopefully will continue to avoid all these reported issues.
mine has 163k miles and runs new. the only issue is a/c compressor was replaced 2x (it spent most of its life with me in Fl!) and it did have the steering issue which the dealer fixed for free. The steering is acting up a lil now again but not too noticeable. never leaves me stranded tho. She's been reliable and I take excellent care of Ellen the Elantra!
I have a 2011 Elantra, from all these problems, I experience only one which is the steering wheel. The car is so reliable and runs perfectly although it's 220k on the clock
they are not all bad. It depends on the make and model year. I have a 2014 Elantra which has the least problems. I bought mine with 15k miles on it and now have 40k but i have had no problems. The same cant be said for my last 2 Honda's or my last 3 Nissan's. They all needed new brakes and exhaust repair by 35k miles but not my Elantra.
110k on my 16 Elantra. No problems. Only installed a new set of spark plugs and a battery.still runs smooth and quiet. Still averaging 52mpg on the freeway.
I have a 2016 1.8 110k. The trunk latch is the only thing that has ever gone out on me. It's beginning to get the old 4 cylinder shudders during idle load. Other than that it's terrific. I'll be replacing the fuel filter soon and other preventable maintenance. Only other issue with the car is it gets way to good of mpg 😃.
#6 torque coverter. When my car was 101k miles, my torque converter locked up, due to me not ever changing transmission fluid. and I had to replace it, and clean and rebuild the transmission. Other then that, my hyundai runs like a top. Maintanance is easy to do, and i will suggest running some lucas fuel injector cleaner in the gas, and run it wide open to keep the engine from carbon build up. 120,000 miles still runs great.
+@Lindsaydunberry Thank you! We love empowering our customers and showing how to perform DIY auto repairs with our high-quality auto parts. 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
that sounds like a dream!!! i hope my new 22 elantra lasts that long!! please, if you have any advice on how to make the car last that long i would highly appreciate it :) thanks!
My 2016 Hyundai Elantra made that sound when i took it to jiffy lube and oil depot,but when i change the oil myself i added oil in the oil filter then put it bake in added the oil and no more ticking 👏🏽
I have a 2016 Elantra automatic with 328,000Km. Had piston slapping and Hyundai replaced engine at 220,00Km. I have replaced every wheel bearing (some 2x) , and 3 of 4 calipers as they seized. I have had to replace rear shocks early at 30,000Km. Replaced, lower ball joints, strut (L), and L front axel... Oh, and I have had to replace the cabin fan 2x as well, once under warranty by Hyundai and once again after with a used one i found. Lots of problems on this one i find.
I have a 2013 Elantra. 66K miles. The gearshift lever sticks in park, or if you can get it out of park, it won't go into reverse. I've had it at the dealer 3 times. This week, for the 3rd time, the dealer did a diagnostic, and told me the main electrical harness has to be replaced. (nearly $6000). I feel fortunate to be able to view videos like this one generously giving us your hard won experience, even though the dysfunctional gearshift was not among your top five. You might want to add it next time if other people have complained about this issue. Thanks.
I haven’t had any of these issues on my 2012 elantra. The issues that I have are the tire sensor light (always on despite being properly inflated), and my biggest problem is dang light bulbs!!! My brake lights are constantly burning out. It’s gotten to the point that I carry spare bulbs in my car at all times knowing that if one light is out, they’ll all be out. It drives me crazy. I bought this car brand new & will drive it until it dies but yeah, won’t buy a Hyundai again
I actually replaced the steering wheel coupling myself after the mechanic told me 200 dollars to replace a 2 dollar part. My car is a 2013 Elantra with 216,000 miles on it. I also replaced the alternator and battery twice. It has a parasitic draw that I haven't been able to trace. Other than that my car has been awesome.
@@dontbelieveeverythingyouhe5599 After watching th-cam.com/video/8Ga5q2c0vUE/w-d-xo.html it took me the good part of a day to get it done. I had never tackled anything like it before. If I can do it though, anyone can.
Currently going through that last situation right now where my alternator went out on me I’m at 198,000 miles so I’ve replaced a few things but for the most part it’s reliable
I have a 2015 Hyundai Elantra i bought brand new and now has 53,301 KM. Been regular and always on time for servicing at the dealership. Has had 2 recalls so far. Recently I went for servicing and they said that it needs a gasket reseal at $4000 +! I'm very disappointed 😢. I'm thinking of buying a Toyota...had one before and had no issues!
I have a 2013 the only issue I've ever had just now that it hit 99k miles is the tire sensor light meaning the batteries died but that is still impressive that they lasted 10 years so technically that is not a real issue I luv the car I guess been lucky still orignial lead acid battery 🔋 10 years latter. Very reliable car I'd def buy another
2015 Elantra purchased new. I had one major issue with the VVT system, repaired and replaced under warranty. Dealership provided me a loaner from their used car lot of similar age or newer. Have 55,500 miles now. Because of bad roads I’m having my struts replaced today. Will be replacing it with a Hyundai Kona.
I have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra 1.8 76k mi. Last year May 2021, Hyundai replace a short block in my car whit zero cost to me, I'm the original owner and the car had all the maintenance at the dealer. 6500 dls. For this job. Now july 2022 81,136 mi. no problems, but probably it will happen again, no matter if I change the oil every 3k or 4k mi. Next month if we are not in a recession probably I'm going to trade it for a Toyota or Honda.
Awesome information,but like many other Hyundai Elantra owners the cars have rarely given them problems except for some basic maintenance parts that have had to be changed due to mileage or regular wear they are very good cars, but like many others some might have had their problems but overall a lot of them have given their owners problems 😊😊😊😊
using this car for 9 years , there is no issue at all unless you maintained it very well. Never trust any service centre , sometimes they loves to add problems , making money out of us. Very nice car , powerful, reliable.
I have a 2013 with 239k on the odo. Only complaint is that it's the worst clutch I've ever had to deal with. It slips sometimes under heavy throttle at about 3500rpm, and is also a PITA to deal with when trying to feather it while stopped on an incline.
235,000 miles and going strong. Just started with the steering coupler slipping, so I need to fix that. Always had some valve noise from early on, but neither leaks nor burns any oil.
thank you so much for this feedback, i'm a new 22 elantra owner and i would love to hear any tips and tricks you have for the vehicle to last so long!!!! :) thank you
2013 Elantra Coupe, G4NB 1.8L engine with Piston Slap Okay, here are my 5 cents. Bought the car with 54k miles (87k km) on it, with already developed Piston Slap and stuck timing chain Tensioner. Replaced the tensioner, the valve lifters, the mechanig did a honing on the cylinders in the short block. I also used metal-ceramic additives such as XADO with the hope to fill in the gaps in the cylinders - not a noticable difference. Well, I still hear it and I will drive like this until I rebore the short block and put oversized pistons 0.25 or 0.50 cm. The rebore itself would cost me $180 but I also have to buy new gasket kit and new oversized pistons. And to pay the mechanic to disassemble and assemble the engine. There are also new long blocks, around $1300, for sell in Alibaba/Aliexpress but seems too expensive with shipping, customs clearance and VAT. The car has 62k miles (100k km) now. Oil is Petronas 0w-40 full synthetic. I will probably change it with Ravenol 5w-40. Oil consumption is around 1,5L per 6200 miles (10k km). This video is very informative and I will definitely look for the rest of the problems and they seem easier to fix. Thanks!
Thankfully my Elantra has been reliable and a quiet engine. Well until someone stole it this past feb and they must of drive it rough and hard because my engine got a tick, my steering column tore up and my window busted out, they are very easy to steal so I say if you get one or have a Hyundai or Kia to get a steering will lock. My uncle is fixing my car from what the their did to it. All I can say is my car has been great and very reliable I have the 2013 model and I’m very satisfied. Only complaint some people wouldn’t like is how low it sits to the ground. I am barely 5’0 tall and it kind of annoys me. So I can’t imagine if I was average size lol. Other than that. Keep up with the oil changes, tune ups, the basic stuff and the car should last you a very long time. Mine has approximately 150k miles on it and been a great car!
Currently have a 2016 w/ 82k miles, bought it used CPO at 47k miles in 2018. No major issues so far, just keep up with maintenance and clean your vehicles, that car looks super neglected, my engine bay is spotless so is the rest of the car.
I’m on my second Hyundai and wouldn’t hesitate getting another. I sold my first one (2003 Tiburon) at 160k+ still running fine and bought my current one (2012 Elantra) new and it’s just now at a little over 150k starting to have an issue that needs to be looked into. The only other potential issue I may have had is with the electrical system. There hasn’t been an obvious problem or need for repair on my Elantra yet but every once in a while the electrical system seems like it might be a little wonky but, like I said, nothing big enough to even think about taking In. I also have a few family members and friends who have had Hyundais who loved them too. My brother had an 07 and went through brake lightbulbs really fast but that’s all.
I havent had any of those problems but 1. I had two recalls. 2. Tire pressure warning doesnt tell you which tire, so I have check every tire, 3. and then i have to drive about a quarter mile before the light goes off in order to know if I fixed the problem. 4. Some a-hole had the brilliant idea of making the oil dipstick the same color as engine oil, 5. They put the fuel filter under the back seat of the car, so you have to remove the seat to get to it. 6. There's a grinding sound and bumping when I press suddenly on the brakes
I got a '12 elantra with 131K miles had it for 8 months problems that I've had is my left brakelight and taillight is out and sometimes when I start it up the 1st time it won't start the 2nd time it will other times it won't start the 1st or 2nd time the 3rd time it will and when it does start up it ticks until the car reaches normal temp. when I'm driving at 5-10 mph it also ticks
got this little car used never had a problem 24/7 daily driver for work. took it to mexico from florida and atill another 6 hrs to get to the house at mexico. and came back and 3 months after the trip. i finally got the oil changed.glad it didnt do any harm. but days latee it turned off on the highway. it was lucky a 80 fix. just a plastic sensor. and glad tbis little car didnt habe amy of those problems from the video. but when i started driving back to florida coming from mexico. mid way the ac didmt work anymore blew hot air. now thats fixed. besides this 2 things. it really is a great car. and saves you toms of money. owe a 2020 expedition. just 2 hr drive to go somewhere and come back. its 60 dollars. while this little guy like 10 bucks. and i use it pretty heavy work in construction and habe tools that we use. its 5 of us guys and 5 bags in the back. maybe 250 pounds or so. and we weight around 180 to 230 at most. all 5 of us. but it has held up outstanding. only con is it pretty low. when you come across speed bumps. besjdes that am goign to spend around 2500 in leather seats speakers paint the plastjc all black. get reverse lights put on really bright. and stereo 2020+. ceramjc tint all the way around. upgrade speakers. 35 % entire windshield. add massage seats. starlight above. amd also get it in suede in black. thats how much i am in love with the little car. if you run into a bad one go ahead and get a new one. replace it. have all paper work and so fourth. coming from a 2020 expedition you well save lots of money. domt need 2020+ to go and from work. as long as your not spending 80 daily just to go to work every 2 days. trusy me if any car that has a 4 cyclinder its worth it. its not powerful but saves gas. 9/10 just becuase its low. but everything else is top notch. just when pressing the gas you habe to wait for it to speed up. dont over do it. or the car womg lost you even 5 yrs just pressimg gas to heavy for no real reason.
One more thing to add is if the front wheel bearings go, your only option is to press in a new bearing, ir replace the whole assymbly, theh dont offer a bearing spindle combo pre installed unless you buy the the whole knuckle which is quite expensive.
Bought my 2015 Elantra brand new with 36 miles ( from prev test driving I guess)… no major issues only lights bulbs and manifold replacement for $60 just last year
I have a 2013 Elantra with 202k. The car just lost acceleration and wouldn’t drive even with engine still running. When turned off it wouldn’t start again and alternator light, check engine light, oil light, and EPS light all on. I poured a tiny bit of gas in the intake and it started right up. So I replaced the fuel pump and it seemed to fix it with just the check engine light on now but fully functional. However 5 days later it started doing the same thing again. My code is reading Evap system pressure sensor/switch. I’m thinking it is the Evap sensor on top of the fuel pump as it popped off when I was installing but I pushed it back in. Maybe it’s loose or bad. I have a new fuel pump better quality I’m going to replace in the morning. However what is weird as well now is my 1 year old (3 year warranty) battery on the way home after dealing with the cut out and break down issue the battery is now hissing and seeping fluid. I had to get a new battery. Will be changing the fuel pump again with better quality one where the sensor wasn’t knocked off before and the battery. Am I on the right track? I already replaced the mass air flow and crankshaft sensors and that didn’t work. Could I also be dealing with a bad alternator regulator that overcharged my battery? Just seems like a weird timing coincidence that the battery nearly blew up while having this fuel pump issue. I guess after replacing this Evap sensor, fuel pump, and battery I can go have the alternator tested at autozone but I hear those tests can be inaccurate or not tell you if you have a bad regulator. If the alternator has the correct voltage does that mean the regulator is good?
I am so happy to have found your videos, I own a 2001 Dodge Dakota ( You have videos for) and we own a 2016 Hyundia Elentra (You have videos for), frankly I'll probably purchase vehicles you have videos for for here on out. I did Camper conversions to my Dakota from Lonewolf 902 with the Stove Truck and now I need to do a 100k maintenance before I headout with my daughter to visit some famous California camping spots. You're videos make it possible to be confident I wont be broken down in this old truck hahaha. Thank you for the videos and indept walkthrough of the things I can show a mechnic or attempt to do myself.
I’ve got a 2012 start/stop model to this date, haz that steering problem I already have the Steering Column Flexible Rubber to change it. #2 issue the AC works fine only issue it show a AC ionizer error code. (That’s the little vent near the AC controls that clean the air when needed) can’t seem to get that off. #3 had to change a bearing well I blame that on bad roads and not that the car sits on 20” 😂
on manual transmission ones the clutch master cylinder will fail , where the pedal connects to it. the clutch master has a plastic eyelet to accept the pedal and it ovals over time making the car progressively harder to put in gear. mine lasted 80,000miles
Mine is a 2013 manual with 88k miles. Only issue so far is the steering coupler that I still haven't gotten fixed. The Hyundai dealership wants $350 to replace it.
I have a 2016 whit a squeaking noise when he is shut off ,I was hoping to adjust the tensioner but went I looked a couple videos here the tensioner is supposed to be in front of the alternator mine doesn't have it there any help will be very handy
My wife car does that slap on morning start but stop after a few minutes.it had been doing it 76,000 miles, now it has 160,000 an still going.hope she can go some more 1000 of miles.
My 2015 ELANTRASE just hit 130 K fortunately the only problems I’ve had so far are a lifter tick (surprisingly not block seafoam cleared it right up) and clogged fuel system thank God I almost have it paid off so I can sell this thing before it becomes a problem
my car will be 12 years in 4 more months. did all the maintenance and recalls, but a major issue i had a year ago was it stalling while i was on the road. it was super anxiety-inducing and annoying but i just replaced it with a new crankshaft position sensor (after getting a failed diagnostics done at the dealership and having the issue for like 2 months) and it was like normal. i believe i have the piston slap issue but the noise goes away after a few seconds and haven't had any other major issues. oh, but the paint is chipping bad on my door handles, front of the hood, and the back of the car. hopefully it can last me 2-3 more years while I continue saving up money for a new car🤞
Hyundais may have a few small minor issues, but my Hyundai is the most reliable car I’ve ever had other than my big 73 Chevy c20. The little ticks it has are better than rebuilding parts every few months
I had all the CEL stuff to do with the timing chain issues, but it ended up being the pistol slap to the point where it lost compression and wouldn't start. I wish I would have taken it to the dealer, but it was a secret warranty and never officially recalled by Hyundai except in Canada. I had thought the noise was the timing chain, not the piston issue. They are still covering 50 percent and I didn't pay much for the car, so I am getting a new engine
Onnly probl I had was the Paint chipping (its white) the Steering Column does some noise, but overall.. perfect car and it hit 100K just now for my 2018 elantra
Now I did have this one problem where the steering wheel made the worst sounding noise I got it fixed for free and it’s fine now found out it was a recall but Hyundai fixed everything for me that was recalled on my car even if it didn’t need fixing, they went a head and replaced them
I have a 2011 Elantra and it has been a good car even though it is a ticking time bomb with the timing chain chatter. Honestly, it is okay, but it is clearly not up to Corolla and Civic quality.
Unfortunately my 2011 Hyundai Elantra with 199k miles have the pistons slap only when is cold and this problem with the steering wheel rub.. this car is really reliable the only problem is the owner,😂😂
I have 2014 Elantra GT. Engine ticking. Replaced plugs/coils. Mass oil consumption. Had them clean engine. All at my cost. Now engine light on and blinking. No one seems to acknowledge the engine issues/recall issues.
I have a 2016 Elantra GT I bought new in 2015, never had any issues with it. New tires, battery, filters and oil changes every 5000 with full synthetic. It has been a great car.
I have a 2013 with 105,000 miles on it and I’ve had only minor issues like battery replacement up until recently. My interior lights started flickering and when they stopped it caused all of my outside lights to stop working. So now I have To use only my high beams. No park lights, head lights, break lights and not even the third break light. But the interior still works. Someone told me to check the fuse. I hope that’s all it is. Oh and my ac isn’t working. When putting Freon in it, it doesn’t last. Not sure if it’s a leak or need a new compressor.
Hyundai Elantra Limited 2013 just 106K miles. The main issue I have from time to time is if I park my car and leave it running it’s shuts off right when I start to drive again once every 3 months maybe
Hitting 303,000 miles in my 2013 Elantra with no motor issues, and hoping to keep going strong. 💪🏾
I have a 2016 Hyundai Elantra 6 speed manual. I've owned it since new and it has a 183000 miles and I have not experienced any of those issues. The only issue was the ac compressor went out at about 70000 miles and it was covered under warranty. I've done all the oil changes myself and primarily used mobile one full synthetic with Hyundai filters. Car still runs great and doesn't burn any oil at all.
I have no problems with my 2014 elantra just a crank sensor i had to replace. At 160k now no major problems VERY reliable car. I always recommend to friends as one of my favorite cars that i owned.
There's a lady who has a 2013 Elantra and hit a million miles on hers without a rebuild to the engine. Her transmission though was replaced by a little over a half million miles. You can find that review on Google. I have a 2012 Elantra and I'm currently at 251,000 and some change. My 0nly issue was a crank sensor. Even at this point it doesn't burn or leak any oil and still no piston slap. I keep a record book on all my vehicles and equipment.
Same I handed down my elantra to my parents but my 2013 is still running with over 200,000. But I do agree there are some defective models out there.
You must be in a warmer climate. The engine problems usually happen because of winter cold starts.
I've had my 2012 Elantra for about 6 years, has about 103,000 miles on it and it's been great. I've done all preventative maintenance items on time too. Only issue I've noticed is in the dead of winter, you have about a 10% chance of getting a slight grinding noise on a cold start (I'm talking if it's like 15 degrees Fahrenheit or colder outside after it's been sitting 12+ hours).
That's been my only concern with the car so far, we'll see if it starts to cause problems or not. If it does, I'll probably get a Camry or something haha
That particular vehicle was used as a delivery vehicle.
It had minimal cold starts and wasn't used much in stop and start traffic.
It was also meticulously maintained.
Almost any vehicle can reach a million miles under similar conditions and owned by someone who is willing to replace parts as they fail.
wow!! great testimonial, any tips and tricks on how to make it last so long?? - new 22 elantra owner
I have a 2011 Elantra 270k kilometres on it. Very reliable and running perfectly. Seeing these videos would make you think all Hyundais are crap .. which isn’t the case
+Dane Harris Thanks for the feedback!
I agree I had a 2013 Elantra and it was fantastic, in the 5 years I had it, only had to replace the starter
@Mysterious Master Yoshi the only reason to be concerned is if the prior owner(s) beat on the vehicle and/or was poor at maintainence. These cars WILL tell you when something is wrong. They do so quite well and they do so quite vocally. Which makes maintenance even easier.
Elantras are essentially a Korean-made civic equivalent. Small, economy car, somewhat sporty, extremely reliable with a few outliers.
My 2011 Elantra has done 210Ks and has always run well. Started running rough the other day......replaced the ignition coils and it's running like new again. Great, reliable little car
138,000 miles on my 2013 Elantra. That tick is only on the cold start and disappears after 5 seconds . Unfortunately very common on Hyundai and Kia. However, my Elantra has been super reliable and has never had an issue other than regular maintenance. 10 years trouble free. Use Full Synthetic every 5000-6000 miles.Judging by the neglected front rims, that engine was probably neglected too.
I'm coming up on 200,000 on my 2012 and she's been great value for money. Have the piston ticking and steering click, but she's still going. Do my own synth oil changes at 6/7,000 and regular air filter swaps. Served me well.
I own 2015 Hyundai Elantra it has 120, 000 miles on it. The car is with me about a year and half, and I quickly fall in love with car since the first day I got it. I didn't experience all issues that were mentioned on the video. The only thing what I noticed is the ticking noise in the morning, and it goes away as soon as the engine reaches to it normal operating temperature. It is great gas sever car!! My mechanic told me that few issues( mentioned on the video) exist from year 2011-2013. He gave me few tips,1/ Do not skip oil change2/ He recommends ticker oil like 10w-30 fully synthetic. Change transmission oil if it is old, and use original oil from the dealership. Also, for winter, the 50/50 coolant ratio must be done according to the manual. If the car was abused by previous owner, yes you might experience those issues. More importantly, service your car (any kind) on timely basis. So, about the video 5 problems🤔🤔??, not on me.
new 22 elantra owner here, thank you for your comment! would love to hear more tips and tricks on how to make the vehicle last :)
2015 elantra 1.8 liter with 105k Miles. I've had absolutely Zero issues so far (Purchased it brand new, 5000 Mile synthetic oil changes) Car still runs like new. It does have the cold engine rattle but quiets down after 2-3 minutes. Every 1.8 liter i've heard sounds the exact same. They are noisy, but reliable and get great fuel mileage.
Didn't need to change my steering coupler until about 195,000 miles, changed alternator at about 210,000 miles so. Had the clock spring changed at 200,000 miles, warranty item so no cost to me. Now at 310,000 mile I think I may need fuel pump changed. I've read that fuel pumps typically last 100,000 mike, a few last to 200,000 miles, no articles stated they last to 310,000 miles, so I'll call that good.
Of course mine gets regular maintenance, all belts and hoses changed every 4 years, regardless of how good they may look, oil changes every 6k miles, plugs every 80,000 miles and coils only changed them once so far at about 225,000 miles.
Never had a problem with my 2015 Elantra. Always replaced oil. Replaced tires. Currently at 142,529 miles. Only issue is the radio not properly connecting to my phone. I’m about to replace it to a touch screen soon. Love this car! Just regular maintenance. Had this car for over 5 years
Thanks for this. I have a 2010 Hyundai Touring L. Use full synthetic oil every 6000 kms - 175,000 kms. Follow the manual i.e. new timing belt @ 100,000 kms etc. Love the car and no issues.
Good to hear about this a week after I just bought an Elantra.
Thank you. I have had all of those problems on my 2013 Elantra, plus 3 more... trunk latch, driver air bag, and paint is just popping off. They did replace engine at 60, 000 miles. Engines made in Alabama had shaving contamination, while those made in Japan were fine. At 100,000 tune up, they some how fouled a plug and harness. Never again.
My wife has a 2013 Hyundai Elantra with over 200,000 miles on it. We have had none of those problems and its been a very reliable car. Nothing worse than routine oil changes, tires, brakes, windshield wipers, changing plugs and coil packs (once: 2 coil packs bad - why gamble on the other 2), transmission oil flush (once - likely needs it again soon), etc. A few factory recalls for relatively minor issues (the latest being changing the computer program so it's not so easy to steal).
This video should be called top 5 problems if you don’t maintain your car. My car has been working perfect & never had a issue & it’s close to 250k miles!
Year?
2013 but I didn’t mention that I’m a mechanic myself & follow the whole maintenance book so maybe that’s why 😅
2015 Elantra Sport with the 2.0L. Mine has 164k on it now (original engine) and all the only big issue I have with it except for the EVAP leak, is the piston slap issue while it burns a quart every 250-300mi. Original clutch, no big repairs done to it except basic maintenance. I just keep topping off oil and changing it every 3k and car is happy.
2013 Hyundai Elantra 205,859 miles no issues at all . Love this car
I just bought a 2012 Elantra Touring for a great price. Happy with it. The coupler thing isnt hard at all to do, mine seems fine.
2011 Elentra 94K miles..Made in Korea. I made sure not to buy one from USA. No issues. I do all maintenance myself including Oil,Plugs,Filters,Brakes. Just replaced original plugs with same OEM NGK plugs ($17 each, wow alot of $$), but lasts 100k. Still runs as smooth as I bought it. Hopefully will continue to avoid all these reported issues.
mine has 163k miles and runs new. the only issue is a/c compressor was replaced 2x (it spent most of its life with me in Fl!) and it did have the steering issue which the dealer fixed for free. The steering is acting up a lil now again but not too noticeable. never leaves me stranded tho. She's been reliable and I take excellent care of Ellen the Elantra!
I have a 2011 Elantra, from all these problems, I experience only one which is the steering wheel. The car is so reliable and runs perfectly although it's 220k on the clock
How did you fix the steering wheel ?

Hello from Maine Sue I happen to own a 2012 Hyundai Elantra GLS 1.8 4D Sedan it's been a great car I've had no major issues minor issues that's all.
It’s hit or miss tbh
My 2013 had the piston slap but after the oil change it stopped currently at 165,000 and drives smooth and very reliable especially in the snow
Just picked up a 2013 Elantra today with similar kms, have you had any major issues at all?
Hyundai oil filter and valvoline VO148 makes engine smoother.
salut pouvez vous me dire quel huile utilisé vous merci
@@Antonio-ex3st No I have not drives fast smooth and very good during snow storms
they are not all bad. It depends on the make and model year. I have a 2014 Elantra which has the least problems. I bought mine with 15k miles on it and now have 40k but i have had no problems.
The same cant be said for my last 2 Honda's or my last 3 Nissan's. They all needed new brakes and exhaust repair by 35k miles but not my Elantra.
My 2013 Hyundai Elantra had 250K miles on it, original engine and transmission with no problem yet.
I have a 2011 Elantra with 412000 KM and still running well!
110k on my 16 Elantra. No problems. Only installed a new set of spark plugs and a battery.still runs smooth and quiet. Still averaging 52mpg on the freeway.
I have a 2013 Elantra gls Limited I love it and it has 196,000 miles and still runs and drives great..😁
I have a 2016 1.8 110k. The trunk latch is the only thing that has ever gone out on me. It's beginning to get the old 4 cylinder shudders during idle load. Other than that it's terrific. I'll be replacing the fuel filter soon and other preventable maintenance. Only other issue with the car is it gets way to good of mpg 😃.
I Love my 2016 Elantra 😍 over 125k. Got it with 8m. Brand new in 2015.
Hi i have 2012 Elantra ( Manual 6 speed ) with 20000 kms only problem was the steering gear easy fix Very happy with car
+Steve Maxwell Thanks for the feedback!
And I’ll add.. I have never had any major issues. It’s be the greatest and most reliable car, I’ve of course kept up the maintenance well on it.
#6 torque coverter. When my car was 101k miles, my torque converter locked up, due to me not ever changing transmission fluid. and I had to replace it, and clean and rebuild the transmission. Other then that, my hyundai runs like a top. Maintanance is easy to do, and i will suggest running some lucas fuel injector cleaner in the gas, and run it wide open to keep the engine from carbon build up. 120,000 miles still runs great.

Over 290,000 K on my 2014 elantra 2.0 Nu GDI , I,ve had none of the problems mentioned in this video , its been super reliable
that sounds like a dream!!! i hope my new 22 elantra lasts that long!! please, if you have any advice on how to make the car last that long i would highly appreciate it :) thanks!
where was it made?
You must be in a warmer climate?
I have the same trim and the car’s engine is already dying at 150k with suspension issues every now and then..
My 2016 Hyundai Elantra made that sound when i took it to jiffy lube and oil depot,but when i change the oil myself i added oil in the oil filter then put it bake in added the oil and no more ticking 👏🏽
I had a 2016ni put 45k on in 6 months loved that car sooo much
Glad to see all the good feedback. Currently looking at a 2016.
#6 Clock spring

I have a 2016 Elantra automatic with 328,000Km. Had piston slapping and Hyundai replaced engine at 220,00Km. I have replaced every wheel bearing (some 2x) , and 3 of 4 calipers as they seized. I have had to replace rear shocks early at 30,000Km. Replaced, lower ball joints, strut (L), and L front axel... Oh, and I have had to replace the cabin fan 2x as well, once under warranty by Hyundai and once again after with a used one i found. Lots of problems on this one i find.
I have a 2013 Elantra. 66K miles. The gearshift lever sticks in park, or if you can get it out of park, it won't go into reverse. I've had it at the dealer 3 times. This week, for the 3rd time, the dealer did a diagnostic, and told me the main electrical harness has to be replaced. (nearly $6000). I feel fortunate to be able to view videos like this one generously giving us your hard won experience, even though the dysfunctional gearshift was not among your top five. You might want to add it next time if other people have complained about this issue. Thanks.
There is a release for this. Takes a couple minutes and no need for mechanic.
I haven’t had any of these issues on my 2012 elantra. The issues that I have are the tire sensor light (always on despite being properly inflated), and my biggest problem is dang light bulbs!!! My brake lights are constantly burning out. It’s gotten to the point that I carry spare bulbs in my car at all times knowing that if one light is out, they’ll all be out. It drives me crazy. I bought this car brand new & will drive it until it dies but yeah, won’t buy a Hyundai again
I actually replaced the steering wheel coupling myself after the mechanic told me 200 dollars to replace a 2 dollar part. My car is a 2013 Elantra with 216,000 miles on it. I also replaced the alternator and battery twice. It has a parasitic draw that I haven't been able to trace. Other than that my car has been awesome.
How long did it take? A mechanic quoted me $500 today.
@@dontbelieveeverythingyouhe5599 After watching th-cam.com/video/8Ga5q2c0vUE/w-d-xo.html it took me the good part of a day to get it done. I had never tackled anything like it before. If I can do it though, anyone can.
Currently going through that last situation right now where my alternator went out on me
I’m at 198,000 miles so I’ve replaced a few things but for the most part it’s reliable
Yep true, I experienced all of this problem with my car, but this car was good, served me from 2012 until now
I never knew about the rubber steering thing, very interesting. Great video
Happened to my Elantra and did replace that star rubbery thing which solved the issuem
@@Criticalthinker5 And what is the cost of replacement?
I have a 2013 and the rubber gear in the steering column was such a hassle
I have a 2015 Hyundai Elantra i bought brand new and now has 53,301 KM. Been regular and always on time for servicing at the dealership. Has had 2 recalls so far. Recently I went for servicing and they said that it needs a gasket reseal at $4000 +! I'm very disappointed 😢. I'm thinking of buying a Toyota...had one before and had no issues!
I have a 2015 Elantra til this day. Never had any issues whatsoever.
I have a 2013 the only issue I've ever had just now that it hit 99k miles is the tire sensor light meaning the batteries died but that is still impressive that they lasted 10 years so technically that is not a real issue I luv the car I guess been lucky still orignial lead acid battery 🔋 10 years latter. Very reliable car I'd def buy another
2015 Elantra purchased new. I had one major issue with the VVT system, repaired and replaced under warranty. Dealership provided me a loaner from their used car lot of similar age or newer. Have 55,500 miles now. Because of bad roads I’m having my struts replaced today. Will be replacing it with a Hyundai Kona.
I have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra 1.8 76k mi. Last year May 2021, Hyundai replace a short block in my car whit zero cost to me, I'm the original owner and the car had all the maintenance at the dealer. 6500 dls. For this job. Now july 2022 81,136 mi. no problems, but probably it will happen again, no matter if I change the oil every 3k or 4k mi. Next month if we are not in a recession probably I'm going to trade it for a Toyota or Honda.
Awesome information,but like many other Hyundai Elantra owners the cars have rarely given them problems except for some basic maintenance parts that have had to be changed due to mileage or regular wear they are very good cars, but like many others some might have had their problems but overall a lot of them have given their owners problems 😊😊😊😊
using this car for 9 years , there is no issue at all unless you maintained it very well. Never trust any service centre , sometimes they loves to add problems , making money out of us.
Very nice car , powerful, reliable.
I have a 2013 with 239k on the odo. Only complaint is that it's the worst clutch I've ever had to deal with. It slips sometimes under heavy throttle at about 3500rpm, and is also a PITA to deal with when trying to feather it while stopped on an incline.
235,000 miles and going strong. Just started with the steering coupler slipping, so I need to fix that. Always had some valve noise from early on, but neither leaks nor burns any oil.
thank you so much for this feedback, i'm a new 22 elantra owner and i would love to hear any tips and tricks you have for the vehicle to last so long!!!! :) thank you
@@JahdielSaneo change the oil at least every 5000 miles! Honestly my only tip😃

2013 Elantra Coupe, G4NB 1.8L engine with Piston Slap
Okay, here are my 5 cents. Bought the car with 54k miles (87k km) on it, with already developed Piston Slap and stuck timing chain Tensioner. Replaced the tensioner, the valve lifters, the mechanig did a honing on the cylinders in the short block. I also used metal-ceramic additives such as XADO with the hope to fill in the gaps in the cylinders - not a noticable difference. Well, I still hear it and I will drive like this until I rebore the short block and put oversized pistons 0.25 or 0.50 cm. The rebore itself would cost me $180 but I also have to buy new gasket kit and new oversized pistons. And to pay the mechanic to disassemble and assemble the engine.
There are also new long blocks, around $1300, for sell in Alibaba/Aliexpress but seems too expensive with shipping, customs clearance and VAT.
The car has 62k miles (100k km) now. Oil is Petronas 0w-40 full synthetic. I will probably change it with Ravenol 5w-40. Oil consumption is around 1,5L per 6200 miles (10k km).
This video is very informative and I will definitely look for the rest of the problems and they seem easier to fix. Thanks!
I've had 4 out of 5 of these problems. Bought the car used and The timing chain was the first issue that I noticed.
+Jordan K Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Thankfully my Elantra has been reliable and a quiet engine. Well until someone stole it this past feb and they must of drive it rough and hard because my engine got a tick, my steering column tore up and my window busted out, they are very easy to steal so I say if you get one or have a Hyundai or Kia to get a steering will lock. My uncle is fixing my car from what the their did to it. All I can say is my car has been great and very reliable I have the 2013 model and I’m very satisfied. Only complaint some people wouldn’t like is how low it sits to the ground. I am barely 5’0 tall and it kind of annoys me. So I can’t imagine if I was average size lol.
Other than that. Keep up with the oil changes, tune ups, the basic stuff and the car should last you a very long time. Mine has approximately 150k miles on it and been a great car!
+All smile and love Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Currently have a 2016 w/ 82k miles, bought it used CPO at 47k miles in 2018. No major issues so far, just keep up with maintenance and clean your vehicles, that car looks super neglected, my engine bay is spotless so is the rest of the car.
I’m on my second Hyundai and wouldn’t hesitate getting another. I sold my first one (2003 Tiburon) at 160k+ still running fine and bought my current one (2012 Elantra) new and it’s just now at a little over 150k starting to have an issue that needs to be looked into. The only other potential issue I may have had is with the electrical system. There hasn’t been an obvious problem or need for repair on my Elantra yet but every once in a while the electrical system seems like it might be a little wonky but, like I said, nothing big enough to even think about taking In. I also have a few family members and friends who have had Hyundais who loved them too. My brother had an 07 and went through brake lightbulbs really fast but that’s all.
I havent had any of those problems but
1. I had two recalls.
2. Tire pressure warning doesnt tell you which tire, so I have check every tire,
3. and then i have to drive about a quarter mile before the light goes off in order to know if I fixed the problem.
4. Some a-hole had the brilliant idea of making the oil dipstick the same color as engine oil,
5. They put the fuel filter under the back seat of the car, so you have to remove the seat to get to it.
6. There's a grinding sound and bumping when I press suddenly on the brakes
you gotta love her laugh guys. Great show
I got a '12 elantra with 131K miles had it for 8 months problems that I've had is my left brakelight and taillight is out and sometimes when I start it up the 1st time it won't start the 2nd time it will other times it won't start the 1st or 2nd time the 3rd time it will and when it does start up it ticks until the car reaches normal temp. when I'm driving at 5-10 mph it also ticks
My 2016 and 260,000km on it, going mint
I had Elantra for 4 years and trust I always drive fast hard and I didn’t had any problems with it
got this little car used never had a problem 24/7 daily driver for work. took it to mexico from florida and atill another 6 hrs to get to the house at mexico. and came back and 3 months after the trip. i finally got the oil changed.glad it didnt do any harm. but days latee it turned off on the highway. it was lucky a 80 fix. just a plastic sensor. and glad tbis little car didnt habe amy of those problems from the video. but when i started driving back to florida coming from mexico. mid way the ac didmt work anymore blew hot air. now thats fixed. besides this 2 things. it really is a great car. and saves you toms of money. owe a 2020 expedition. just 2 hr drive to go somewhere and come back. its 60 dollars. while this little guy like 10 bucks. and i use it pretty heavy work in construction and habe tools that we use. its 5 of us guys and 5 bags in the back. maybe 250 pounds or so. and we weight around 180 to 230 at most. all 5 of us. but it has held up outstanding. only con is it pretty low. when you come across speed bumps. besjdes that am goign to spend around 2500 in leather seats speakers paint the plastjc all black. get reverse lights put on really bright. and stereo 2020+. ceramjc tint all the way around. upgrade speakers. 35 % entire windshield. add massage seats. starlight above. amd also get it in suede in black. thats how much i am in love with the little car. if you run into a bad one go ahead and get a new one. replace it. have all paper work and so fourth. coming from a 2020 expedition you well save lots of money. domt need 2020+ to go and from work. as long as your not spending 80 daily just to go to work every 2 days. trusy me if any car that has a 4 cyclinder its worth it. its not powerful but saves gas. 9/10 just becuase its low. but everything else is top notch. just when pressing the gas you habe to wait for it to speed up. dont over do it. or the car womg lost you even 5 yrs just pressimg gas to heavy for no real reason.
its a really quite car ans the seats can go all the way down. 🤣 and fold back.
One more thing to add is if the front wheel bearings go, your only option is to press in a new bearing, ir replace the whole assymbly, theh dont offer a bearing spindle combo pre installed unless you buy the the whole knuckle which is quite expensive.
Bought my 2015 Elantra brand new with 36 miles ( from prev test driving I guess)… no major issues only lights bulbs and manifold replacement for $60 just last year
Crankshaft position sensor went out and created alot of sporadic issues. Replaced and now runs great. My first belief was that I bought bad fuel.
I have a 2013 Elantra with 202k. The car just lost acceleration and wouldn’t drive even with engine still running. When turned off it wouldn’t start again and alternator light, check engine light, oil light, and EPS light all on. I poured a tiny bit of gas in the intake and it started right up. So I replaced the fuel pump and it seemed to fix it with just the check engine light on now but fully functional. However 5 days later it started doing the same thing again. My code is reading Evap system pressure sensor/switch. I’m thinking it is the Evap sensor on top of the fuel pump as it popped off when I was installing but I pushed it back in. Maybe it’s loose or bad. I have a new fuel pump better quality I’m going to replace in the morning. However what is weird as well now is my 1 year old (3 year warranty) battery on the way home after dealing with the cut out and break down issue the battery is now hissing and seeping fluid. I had to get a new battery. Will be changing the fuel pump again with better quality one where the sensor wasn’t knocked off before and the battery. Am I on the right track? I already replaced the mass air flow and crankshaft sensors and that didn’t work. Could I also be dealing with a bad alternator regulator that overcharged my battery? Just seems like a weird timing coincidence that the battery nearly blew up while having this fuel pump issue. I guess after replacing this Evap sensor, fuel pump, and battery I can go have the alternator tested at autozone but I hear those tests can be inaccurate or not tell you if you have a bad regulator. If the alternator has the correct voltage does that mean the regulator is good?
I am so happy to have found your videos, I own a 2001 Dodge Dakota ( You have videos for) and we own a 2016 Hyundia Elentra (You have videos for), frankly I'll probably purchase vehicles you have videos for for here on out. I did Camper conversions to my Dakota from Lonewolf 902 with the Stove Truck and now I need to do a 100k maintenance before I headout with my daughter to visit some famous California camping spots. You're videos make it possible to be confident I wont be broken down in this old truck hahaha. Thank you for the videos and indept walkthrough of the things I can show a mechnic or attempt to do myself.
What’s causing the alternator to fail?
Make the knocking/ piston slap hit like home bc my moms 2011 Elantra does the same thing on startup.
I’ve got a 2012 start/stop model to this date, haz that steering problem I already have the Steering Column Flexible Rubber to change it. #2 issue the AC works fine only issue it show a AC ionizer error code. (That’s the little vent near the AC controls that clean the air when needed) can’t seem to get that off. #3 had to change a bearing well I blame that on bad roads and not that the car sits on 20” 😂
on manual transmission ones the clutch master cylinder will fail , where the pedal connects to it. the clutch master has a plastic eyelet to accept the pedal and it ovals over time making the car progressively harder to put in gear. mine lasted 80,000miles
Mine is a 2013 manual with 88k miles. Only issue so far is the steering coupler that I still haven't gotten fixed. The Hyundai dealership wants $350 to replace it.
I have a 2016 whit a squeaking noise when he is shut off ,I was hoping to adjust the tensioner but went I looked a couple videos here the tensioner is supposed to be in front of the alternator mine doesn't have it there any help will be very handy
You just explained everything I needed to know. So what's up on the recall. Because my engine does that
My wife car does that slap on morning start but stop after a few minutes.it had been doing it 76,000 miles, now it has 160,000 an still going.hope she can go some more 1000 of miles.
My 2015 ELANTRASE just hit 130 K fortunately the only problems I’ve had so far are a lifter tick (surprisingly not block seafoam cleared it right up) and clogged fuel system thank God I almost have it paid off so I can sell this thing before it becomes a problem
my car will be 12 years in 4 more months. did all the maintenance and recalls, but a major issue i had a year ago was it stalling while i was on the road. it was super anxiety-inducing and annoying but i just replaced it with a new crankshaft position sensor (after getting a failed diagnostics done at the dealership and having the issue for like 2 months) and it was like normal. i believe i have the piston slap issue but the noise goes away after a few seconds and haven't had any other major issues. oh, but the paint is chipping bad on my door handles, front of the hood, and the back of the car. hopefully it can last me 2-3 more years while I continue saving up money for a new car🤞
No issues whatsoever my 2016 Elantra gl regular maintenance that's it and mods I've done custom parts great car very reliable only 144000 kms
Yes, we can repair my elantra I Ave 2 of the problems you said
Hyundais may have a few small minor issues, but my Hyundai is the most reliable car I’ve ever had other than my big 73 Chevy c20. The little ticks it has are better than rebuilding parts every few months
I had all the CEL stuff to do with the timing chain issues, but it ended up being the pistol slap to the point where it lost compression and wouldn't start. I wish I would have taken it to the dealer, but it was a secret warranty and never officially recalled by Hyundai except in Canada. I had thought the noise was the timing chain, not the piston issue. They are still covering 50 percent and I didn't pay much for the car, so I am getting a new engine
Onnly probl I had was the Paint chipping (its white) the Steering Column does some noise, but overall.. perfect car and it hit 100K just now for my 2018 elantra
211,640 miles right now runs like a dream
Now I did have this one problem where the steering wheel made the worst sounding noise I got it fixed for free and it’s fine now found out it was a recall but Hyundai fixed everything for me that was recalled on my car even if it didn’t need fixing, they went a head and replaced them
The only service light I have it a low tire pressure but that’s because I don’t have tire pressure sensors
I have a 2011 Elantra and it has been a good car even though it is a ticking time bomb with the timing chain chatter. Honestly, it is okay, but it is clearly not up to Corolla and Civic quality.
Thanks for showing the engine. I was about to waste 15k on a 2016 Elantra until I saw those plastic parts. :D

Unfortunately my 2011 Hyundai Elantra with 199k miles have the pistons slap only when is cold and this problem with the steering wheel rub.. this car is really reliable the only problem is the owner,😂😂
I have 2014 Elantra GT. Engine ticking. Replaced plugs/coils. Mass oil consumption.
Had them clean engine. All at my cost. Now engine light on and blinking. No one seems to acknowledge the engine issues/recall issues.
I have a 2016 Elantra GT I bought new in 2015, never had any issues with it. New tires, battery, filters and oil changes every 5000 with full synthetic. It has been a great car.
This is called Hyundai Avante and it is excellent. I have a 2017 model with a diesel engine in Saudi Arabia
I have a 2013 with 105,000 miles on it and I’ve had only minor issues like battery replacement up until recently. My interior lights started flickering and when they stopped it caused all of my outside lights to stop working. So now I have To use only my high beams. No park lights, head lights, break lights and not even the third break light. But the interior still works. Someone told me to check the fuse. I hope that’s all it is. Oh and my ac isn’t working. When putting Freon in it, it doesn’t last. Not sure if it’s a leak or need a new compressor.
Hyundai Elantra Limited 2013 just 106K miles. The main issue I have from time to time is if I park my car and leave it running it’s shuts off right when I start to drive again once every 3 months maybe
Flex coupler. And its covered by an extended tsb for most kia and Hyundai
2013, pistons are scraping the walls of the cylinders due to a bad oil pump design. Getting a new engine from Hyundai Canada.
Have 105,000 miles on my 2012 Elantra, never had any of these issues.
How about the leaking roof's in the Elantrash GT ? Back of car is full of mold . Taillights also let water into the rear compartment
I have a 2013 that will not start with good battery/jumped too, as well as good/new starter. What is the correct way to troubleshoot? Thanks
