“The subframe is pressed against the hard brake line. Hyundai is denying warranty claim saying this couldn’t have happened from factory, yet the subframe hasn’t ever been removed and there no evidence of it.”Owner report · Service Brakes · Sep 2025
“Throw out bearing leak, resulting in excessive loss of brake fluid and potential for reduced braking ability. Low brake fluid warning light illuminated and was reported to Suburban Hyundai of Troy around 6,000 miles and again around 10,000 miles. Dealer confirmed leak was occurring at throw out bearing, and impacted clutch friction material as well, which could result in a potential inability to accelerate depending on fluid accumulation on clutch. Upon confirmation, dealer replaced throw out bearing, clutch, and perfomed brake fluid flush.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other,Service Brakes · Jun 2025

“Hyundai dealership “fixed” the recall on my car a few weeks ago. This morning my car stalled out on the highway twice due to fuel pump issues, one of those resulting in my car hitting a guardrail. Every warning light went on in the car and a service message to make an appointment at the dealership popped up. I do not believe this vehicle is safe to keep using”Owner report · Fuel/Propulsion System,Forward Collision Avoidance · Oct 2024

The dealer completed an oil consumption test and found that the engine was consuming one quart of engine oil every 100 miles driven. The vehicle had failed the oil consumption test twice. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 1,520.”Owner report · Engine And Engine Cooling · Jun 2024
“This is a known issue within these new Hyundai N cars and Hyundai is completely clueless. It’s a “p1326 code” that pops up after a carwash. Whenever the knock sensor gets wet it automatically puts the car into limp mode at highway speeds and it’s very hazardous. There has to be some type of cover that Hyundai has to put over the knock sensor or this will continue to happen to us while it’s a brand new car.”Owner report · Power Train · Mar 2024
“Hello. While driving my 2023 Elantra N, innthe middle of driving, it set a flashing check engine light. During this event, my car started sputtering in between shifts and would not climb over 2500 rounds per minute. During this event I was driving 70 miles per hour on the highway, causing me to almost get rear ended. The check engine light is flashing but is consitently set. The code that's causing the check engine light is P132600. After doing my own personal research in Elantra N forums, this has been a common fault among many Elantra N models. Hyundai has made no official recall for it yet.”Owner report · Engine · Apr 2023
