2014 Hyundai Elantra Engine

Car is equipped with NU 2.0 Engine. In September 2019, the Elantra began making a ticking or knocking noise at start up and driving. Unsure what this was, we took it to the dealership where we bought it 2 years prior as it was due for its oil change. There was no check engine light when we discovered this problem. When the tech drained the oil, he claimed there was metal shavings in the oil (he saved them in a bottle for us) and this was due to the knocking engine (piston slap) we had described to the tech. The car had just hit the 80,000 mile mark so this was baffling to us. We had since parked it as we did not have the money to repair the engine. This is a HUGE safety issue. There's a lawsuit against Hyundai for the 1.8 NU Elantra Engines but not the 2.0? It's experiencing the same exact issue but Hyundai will NOT acknowledge their 2.0 NU engines. This is wildly dangerous to the public who got the green light to keep driving their 2.0 engines. We had it towed to Maryland from Washington State as we had moved. It's currently at 1706 Massey Blvd, Hagerstown, MD 21740. It has been there since December of 2019. The engine had been replaced but the dealership wants over $3,000 in repairs. They will not release the car to us until we pay it. The only warning was the noise itself. No lamps, lights or any indication of any fault.

2014 Hyundai Elantra SE 1.8 routinely maintained and serviced as recommended by service manual. Vehicle was on city streets when it suddenly stalled with no warning lights or indication. Event was accompanied by a knocking sound from the engine area. Ignition cycle makes the condition go away temporarily. Initially this was a rare occurrence. But within weeks the frequency of this engine shutdown at medium, slow, fast speeds increased greatly. Now the vehicle does not operational with less than 100,000 miles. Considering that there are so many complaints about this same problem, this needs to be a recall and Hyundai needs to take responsibility for this problem.

My car started ticking and making loud noise. The next day took to the dealer to have it looked it. I stopped at a light and the car stopped any wouldn’t go . It was running but no power, the said was the engine . It’s been at the dealer since beginning July 2022 and they are saying could be October or November before they can work on it . The car only had 50k miles on it and I only purchased it 6 months ago .

The car is stalling with no warning lights. The engine would quit running and I would have coat it into a safe spot, this happened while I was crossing an intersection and driving down the road at 35 MPH or less. I would have to turn the key off and then turn it to start and it would suddenly restart only to stall again. It is not the battery at all. My dad is a mechanic himself and pinpointed the issue to the engine and he said he has never seen an engine quit and restart like this without warning from the check engine light. He believes that it did not fail because of wear and tear but rather from a defect in the engine. He further expanded that the defect can also be connected to a faulty computer system not being able to recognize the engine failure. He feel Hyundai needs to recognize these complaints and take them seriously. Hyundai needs to recall these cars and fix the problem.

I purchased this vehicle from Duncan Hyundai in Christiansburg VA on 11/13/2021. When I purchased the vehicle it had 90,588 miles on it. I started hearing a knocking sound coming from the engine in late January - early February 2022 only 2-3 months of having the car. The engine light came on and the car was also smoking some. We checked the oil in the vehicle and it was empty. We put a quart in the vehicle to take it to the dealership. We were told that yes, the vehicle in fact did not have any oil in it. I asked them well were did the oil go? Is there a leak or something? Oil just doesn't disappear like that. The mileage on the car at that time was 93,543. It wasn't even due for an oil change. I was told that this particular vehicle burns oil and every thousand miles & we will have to add a quart to it at that time. We are now monitoring that. I see that Hyundai has an open recall for this same knocking sound and burning oil on the 2019-2020 models. My 2014 is having the same problem and now I will have to take it back and forth to the dealership to make sure they monitor and hopefully eventually fix the problem for me. Again all they said at the moment was add a quart every thousand miles. In a month period (March) I have had to add 2.5 quarts to the vehicle. The vehicle now has a total of 94,916 miles on it. In a total of 1,373 miles it burned 2.5 quarts. What the dealership said about a quart every thousand miles was not correct. It has burned double that amount.

2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA - WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT LOW SPEED (UNDER 30), AND AFTER WARMING UP IT SHUTS OFF WITH NO NOISE, NO WARNING IT JUST SHUTS OFF. THERE WAS ONE KNOCKING IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT JUST BEFORE IT SHUT OFF. BUT FOR BOTH MY DAUGHTER AND MYSELF IT SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING. THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE OR WARNING LIGHTS ON, IT IS NOT THROWING A CODE. THE DEALER HAS SAID THERE IS SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE AND THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED - IN A 2014 WITH 145K, SINGLE OWNER. IN READING ONLINE, THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OPEN - BROWN V HYUNDAI WHERE MULTIPLE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AND DEALER RESOLUTION BUT THERE IS A KNOW PISTON DEFECT THAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. NO TSB ISSUED IN US BUT THEY DID IN CANADA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.

PURCHASED A USED 2014 1.8L ELANTRA PRIVATE PARTY AND FOUND PISTON SLAP IN COLD START. LOOKING ONLINE IT APPEARS TO BE A PERVASIVE ISSUE AND HYUNDAI IS CARING FOR CANADIAN BUT NOT AMERICAN OWNERS. RECALL OF FAULTY MOTORS NEEDED. HYUNDAI IS FALSLY CLAIMING 10YEAR 100,000 MILE WARRANTY THAT IS NOT SUPPORTED EITHER

The engine block blew, a few days after getting an oil change and seeing a mechanic about the ticking sound in the engine. 53k miles on it. I was told by the dealerships service/mechanic shop as well as other mechanics that there was a hole in the engine. The car had starting issues along with a ticking or clapping sound in the engine, mechanics couldn't figure it out, the last time it ran I turned the engine off to get gas and started it again going uphill, it didn't go past 20mph uphill before I heard the engine shutoff, I pulled over, tried to start it and the engine smoked and popped.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Yes. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Some, but we were not on a highway. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Reproduced as heard before yes, 7 plus times. No independent service or dependent. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Not yet as in the process of trying via our Hyundai Crestmont Service. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning of lights or lamps. The rest described briefly below. Our vehicle is a Hyundai; Vin # [XXX], year 2014, purchased 3/22/15, mileage 16,000 or so On April 1, 2021, snow of 5-7 inches and a cold snap of 41 degrees happened in Cleveland Ohio where we were uncostumarily were out and about, we audibly witnessed the noise under the hood and felt the right side brakes failure. I have experienced these noises at least 7 previous times. And the noises seem to come from the drivers side to midland to lower area of car. We carry an Extended Power Train Warranty, that by definition implies it kicks in when the Factory Power Train has expired. Good until 2024 or so? Willing to follow the advice on what is needed. It can only be driven on the back roads at slower pace with less public endangering. Please bear in mind that driving to Hyundai Crestmont in Brunswick is unattainable, due to safety issues betting there. We feel uncomfortable driving on highways and freeways, that places our lives in danger but also that of the public with the engine ceasing potential. The car is in danger of seising itself which will render it destroyed and not repairable. Documentation of reporting dating back to 2018, 2019 and April 1, 2021, and further.

While driving the car stalls and you have no steering power or brakes to stop. I was able to coast to get out of the way of oncoming traffic. Restart car again and as I was braking for a stop light the car stopped again. To keep from rear ending another vehicle I had to switch lane and pull off of road. No warning lights came on the car just stopped. The car would start again as if everything is okay, but stall as you slow or come to a stop at a stop light. There is a total of 13 complaints on "Car Complaints.com" for this same issue. Below are some of the complaints on this website: "Driving the car in town at slow speeds, usually around 15-25 miles an hour, with rpms at about 1250. First noticed an issue with extremely jerky driving, but added gas and the problem went away, and I thought it was a one time thing. About a week later, it happened again. Then, a few days later, the car shut off as I was driving through a parking lot. I set up an appointment with the dealership for a week later. In that week, the car died while driving through town twice, and also as I was driving into work once. It is the smoothest shutoff I have ever experienced, only the engine dies, and it starts right up once I stop and put it in park. I don't even notice the engine turn off until I try to press the gas." "The car died 4 times, the engine completely shut off. It would throttle by itself at lights or in the drive thru.I could not drive up until no one was in front of me because the car would hesitate then jerk forward. Almost got hit from behind making a right turn because the car would not accelerate with oncoming traffic approaching from behind." "Were on a very busy street and the car just died. Very hot outside, people backed up behind us. Could start the car, but when lift off the break, it would die again. Police helped us push it off the busy road into a parking lot. Our concerns - this is a new car and a part goes bad? One that makes the car quit? What if it had happen

JUST OVER 100,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD THE REPAIRS COMPLETED, THEN THE ENGINE BLEW COMPLETELY.

MY 2014 HYUNDIA ELANTRA SPORT 2.0L ENGINE THREW A ROD WITH ONLY 101300 MILES. THE CAR HAD A LOT OF VALUE BECAUSE IT WAS RUNNING GREAT AND WAS IN BETTER THAN GOOD CONDITION UNTIL NOW. TO REPLACE THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO COST BETWEEN $8K TO $10K. READING ON THE INTERNET HYUNDIA 2.0L ENGINES ARE EXPERIENCING A LOT OF ENGINE FAILURES LIKE THIS. THE MECHANIC SHOP WHERE I TOOK IT CALLED TWO HYUNDI-KIA DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF MY ELANTRA ENGINE WAS UNDER HYUNDIA RECALL, BOTH SAID IT WASN'T. NOW I AM FORCED TO LOOK FOR A NEW CAR AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO RECOUP SOME LOSS FROM MY ELTANTRA. IN THE FUTURE I WILL NEVER CONSIDER ANOTHER HYUNDIA-KIA CAR BECAUSE OF ENGINE ISSUES.

MY 2014 ELANTRA HAS THE EXACT SAME ROD BEARING PROBLEM NOTED IN THE RECENT HYUNDAI RECALL THAT AFFECTS THE SONATA, SANTE FE AND VOLOSCTER. YET IT IS NOT IDENTIFIED. I HAVE A FRIEND WITH A 2012 ELANTRA THAT WAS ALSO AFFECTED AND SHE SAID HERS IS COVERED.

ENGINE RUNNING VERY POOR ALWAYS MAINTENANCED VERY LOUD TICKING LOUD NOISE THAT FROM 30 000 MILES WAS TOLD FROM DEALER THAT WAS NORMAL. NOW I'M BEING TOLD ITS ENGINE FAILURE THATS MANUFACTURED ISSUE. WAS CITY DRIVING WHEN ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND TOTALLY LOSE OF CONTROL AND ACCELERATION.

ENGINE FAILED ON INTERSTATE AT 55MPH. A ROD HAD PIERCED A CYLINDER LEAVING ENGINE RUINED.
