2013 Hyundai Elantra
CarComplaints.com Notes: We're not used to seeing any major problems with Hyundai, which makes the early signs of trouble with the 2013 Elantra very surprising, in a bad way.
Early trends show problems with the steering wandering / pulling to one side along with premature tire wear. Elantra owners have tried sensor adjustments, wheel alignments, even replacing axles, most with no luck. Hyundai has made vehicle buybacks through arbitration, but that rarely works out well financially for owners in the end.
Also there is a pattern of complaints about the 2013 Elantra brakes grinding at very low mileage. It seems there was a bad batch of OEM pads & rotors, but so far Hyundai is not doing a recall. Instead Hyundai issued a TSB & dealers have been replacing pads & rotors on a per-complaint basis.
The final straw is that for several years in a row, Elantra owners report significantly lower gas mileage than the EPA estimates, & there's a small trend of engine problems.

problem #4Elantra ES 1.8L 4 cyl
- Automatic transmission
- 35,200 miles
We are the original owners since brand new off the dealership lot. We have impeccable maintenance records and have always taken good care of the car. Just this week the A/C stopped working and from seeing various other complaints that are similar I am beginning to realize this is a problem with this car. During the summer this would be a very serious problem. Other than spending the $900-1000 quoted estimate for a new compressor and recharge AC system what other suggestions are out there? I really see this as materials and workmanship defect. A new car with this low of mileage should not be having AC issues. I have a truck with double the mileage and is like a meat locker in the middle of summer.
Hyundai needs to get their act together on this one.

Air conditioner quit blowing cold air. Took to dealer, they say rock punctured it. Really? Prove it. Should be covered under warranty, but dealer and warranty manufacturer says no. Bullshit, now that I see other complaints, sounds fishy to me. Screw you Hyundai, you just lost a customer. NEVER AGAIN.

Driving to work and the AC was on high so I lowered it and it stopped blowing cold air. Today I took it to the dealer and they said it was caused by road rocks damaging the compressor and it is NOT under warranty and would be about $900 to fix.?? It is the same thing like Darlene L. from Bellmawt, NJ USA. I want to know what happened to her ?

Went to turn the AC when it got hot this past May. No AC working just blowing hot air. Made appointment with dealer they put dye in the AC system to try to find a leak. Was told to drive around and when the AC goes again bring it back so they can find the leak, it may be bad O rings. If they can't find the leak they say it may caused by road rocks damaging the compressor and that is NOT under warranty! I asked if the compressor is chipped or cracked and was told no. Was told all cars need refrigerant, I responded by stating my other vehicle of over 10 years never and still doesn't need any. If the dealer thinks people will fall for and be insulted by stating a compressor should be replaced at a cost of over 1000.00 on. 2 year old vehicle or that is was damaged by a road rock, that's ridiculous!!! Hyundai needs to address the issue and fix the problem.

Engine had the dreaded piston wrist pin noise, no dealer wanted to give me a break on engine replacement. The noise started at around 88K km and continued until the timing chain stretched and skipped a few teeth at 211K km. What a piece of junk and I vow never to buy Hyundai again.

I was on vacation with my boyfriend and we were on our way back from CO to MN. As we entered Lusk, WY, a strange 'clunking' noise started to arise from our engine. The car acceleration had quit at this time, luckily we were so blessed to see that there was a rest stop 1/4 mile away (what are the odds)! We coasted downhill into the rest stop and put the vehicle in park and turned it off. We tried turning the car back on minutes later and had no luck. Some of you may know that Lusk Wy has a population of 1,543 people and there are no other towns for hundreds of miles. At this point we were 743 miles from home and stranded in the middle of nowhere. We looked to see if this tiny town had a UHAUL for us to tow our car back home to MN and there was one 0.3 miles from the rest stop! We walked to the UHAUL shop to find that there were no vehicles for us to tow our car back home since he ( Bruce, the owner) had JUST rented it out for the first time in 3 MONTHS to another customer. Bruce then told us that his UHAUL shop was also a campground, where he and his wife allowed us to stay. Once my boyfriend and I got settled in at the campground, I called my mother. There wasn't a whole lot that she could do for us, so she called my dad (her ex-husband) and told him to come pick her up with a truck and dolly off of his car lot. Long story short, my poor DIVORCED parents had to drive 12 HOURS together, ALONE, to come pick us up. My boyfriend and I then brought the car to the Hyundai dealership where they replaced our engine for $4,049..

While driving the car stalled and wouldn't start. I had to leave it parked over night and have it towed the next day to our dealership garage where they told us we would need to replace the engine. We have a warranty that would cover the cost of this but they will not honor it unless we can provide spotless records documenting all of the appropriate maintenance. We have not kept all of these records so no warranty for us! (even though I have read that Hyundai has called dealers telling them to blame customers for the engine issue). I barely have enough income to make it month to month and now my family and I have no vehicle and are relying on transportation from friends which is not very convenient for either party. What's the point of getting a warranty if it will not be honored?

I complained about a noise that I was hearing, and was told numerous times that it was nothing. I finally went the the dealership I purchased the car from and was called 3 hours later and told that I have metal fragments in my engine and it would need to be replaced. They had my car for 4 months waiting to receive the engine from the factory. This is not the first issue I have had with this vehicle.

Bought a 2013 Elantra GT new from the dealership, the engine failed at 97500 kms in early July. Hyundai agreed to replace it under warranty however the new engine is not due to arrive until the middle of October. How can it take four months for a replacement to arrive? We have three Hyundai's at home and this will be the last one.

The car was towed to Kerry Hyundai of Florence Ky on Monday 7/15, 2018. Here it is Friday 7/20/2018 and have not received loaner car. In addition, Hyundai said it will take 6-8 MONTHS to fix. This is unbelievable that the engine can not be replace for that amount of time. We are currently without a car until the dealer gets an ok from Hyundai. The 100,000 warranty does not mean a thing if they cannot fix it.
Update from Feb 7, 2019: Engine was replaced by Hyundai and received car back 12/15/2018, 5 months after the car was towed to dealership. The engine problem was pieces of metal within the engine caused by faulty manufacturing. I have owned 6 Hyundai cars and this will be the last. POOR customer relations. On the bright side they did fix the engine, gave me a replacement car to drive and reimbursed me $259.00 monthly which was my monthly payment.

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
I bought my 2013 Hyundai Elantra GLS 4-door sedan in December of 2013, brand new. At 109,000 miles, i suddenly noticed the engine clicking and drove it back home and called Hyundai. I had it towed to the closest Hyundai dealer to have it checked out. I left my car and paid for a rental out of pocket only to be told after five days of calling and leaving messages that I would have to replace the engine. I was given an estimate of about $2600 parts and labor. I was also told that even though they did have loaners, they could not provide one because I didn't buy or service my vehicle at their dealership. This was on Monday, because when I called on Saturday (the day of the event) I was informed that the manager who could approve loaners was out of town and unavailable.
I took my car to another auto repair shop and was told that it would need another motor, because the wrist pin had broken off in the 4th cylinder. I was never told what wrong with it by the dealership.
I called Hyundai and was informed that they couldn't do anything for me because it was out of warranty. I wasn't even asking that they pay total repair costs but to help with the repairs as this should not have happened as I have driven many cars well past 225,000 miles and never experienced a catastrophic engine failure. They just don't care! Even though I had my eyes on upgrading to the Genesis in a year or so, I will never buy another Hyundai or Kia, nor would I ever recommend the vehicle. Unbelievable that they would let any customer walk, that to help repair their vehicle, take the associated tax write-off, and thus garner great public relations and goodwill.

I am a cancer patient in recovery. I purchased a 2013 Hyundai Elantra on March 1st, 2017 to help me get back on my feet after a very long treatment process. The car had 69,445 miles on it. It now has 74,123 and I have to have the engine replaced. The warranty is no longer valid and Hyundai will not help with this issue. I have had 2 mechanics, including a hyundai dealership mechanic state that there were metal shavings in the motor left during the manufacturing process but Hyundai will not help cover the cost of fixing the car. I have reported them to the BBB as well as talked to a GA state senator and I'm still waiting on some kind of resolution. At this point I am posting wherever I can online, added a sign in my car window stating the issues with the car and Hyundai, as well as put signs up in my yard and in friends yards stating the situation with Hyundai. If anyone can offer any advice in how to get help from Hyundai, it would be appreciated. I've seen were a few people have had luck getting help with the repairs.

problem #15Elantra 1.8L
- Automatic transmission

I purchased a 2013 Elantra (used). Started hearing a ticking noise and drove directly to my local mechanic, who informed me I could not drive the vehicle. I called my dealership and was informed I was 2 mos and 25 days past my bumper to bumper warranty. However, they wanted to see the car and diagnose it and contact corporate to see what could be done for me. I had the car towed to the dealership, was informed I needed a new motor and Hyundai corporate was willing to give me $1000 towards a replacement. I have written and called Hyundai numerous times looking for a little more help and have been told 'you were the one who bought a used car' (this car had 16000 miles on it when I bought it) Hyundai knows they have a problem with these vehicles and refuses to help their customers fix the problem (BTW--I have been a Hyundai owner since 1988)
It has been very difficult to even find a replacement engine for this car. Finally, after 2 months my local mechanic found an engine and is installing it.

problem #14Elantra
- Automatic transmission

Where do I even begin!? Hyundai is certainly on my last nerve. I've been battling them for almost a year now only to consistently receive the same response each time which is that I'm not covered under any warranty so they can't do anything.
Bought me vehicle used with 30,000 miles on the engine. Drove it until about 70,000 miles and the engine began knocking terribly. I've had every oil change on time from the purchase of the vehicle. It's been well maintained to say the least. Took in into a Hyundai dealer and they found metal shavings in the oil pan.
I drive a 2013 Hyundai Elantra which coincidentally the engine made for this vehicle also came from the factories that Hyundai recalled all the Sonata engines world wide from. Same problem except they don't see it. My car fits the description and nobody wants to take responsibility. I dropped $3500 to get a new-used replacement engine and the labor to put the engine in. I still until this day am fighting Hyundai. It's not right and it has financially buried me.
As a college student I looked for a dependable car and the fact that Hyundai believes this is ok is far beyond their customer service claims. I've battled my way to the top people throughout Hyundai and they all make the same claim. I hope more of this make, model, and year come to light because I'm ready to stick Hyundai with another lawsuit.
Update from Feb 6, 2019: Here’s an update just in case you’ve stumbled over my complaint late in the game. Hyundai is absolutely bogus. They should be very familiar with my name by this point. I’ve spent endless hours working my way up the ranks through their headquarters. Phone calls, emails, chat logs that Hyundai is now refusing to allow me to have. The higher up I got the more rude and terrible the customer service was. I reached some big head in California and he basically laughed in my face and hung up on me. Nobody had a good explanation for why my engine crapped out. I offered to send my full oil maintenance record to Hyundai on multiple occasions. They didn’t care because my car was outside of warranty. I even got in touch with the BBB, Hyundai’s 3rd party decider if Hyundai doesn’t want to deal with their loyal customers. The BBB denied my claim as well because of an out of warrranty vehicle. Why is a car that I purchased with 36,000 miles having a failing engine 40,000 miles down the road? The single biggest investment in my life right now and Hyundai has no decent explanation for it. Their in total denial. How can a car company get hit with a lawsuit for a similar issue in millions of Sonatas and still deny all of these cases showing up all over the US? The solution to my cars issue was a $3500 replacement engine with 20,000 miles on it. But for what? So I can drive that engine to 70,000 miles and experience the same issue again? I spent almost 2 years fighting Hyundai and I’ve grown tired. As a full time student money is difficult to come by. It’s a shame that I trusted Hyundai to provide me with a reliable vehicle to follow me throughout my school years. If I didn’t have a brother who was a mechanic, my car would certainly still be on the side of the road inoperable. I hope these cases continue to grow and Hyundai gets hit hard as they should for being unloyal and untrustworthy.
Update from Sep 24, 2019: Second Update: A law firm reached out to me sometime ago and I have been in the works to help build a class action lawsuit against Hyundai. Currently I’m at the Hyundai dealer in my area with the law firm and they are supervising while a Hyundai representative does a full blown inspection on the vehicle. I have the big concern that the new-used engine I put in the vehicle will have the same issue when I get around the same mileage. It scares me to death to encounter the same issue twice. This seems like real progress, a step forward but who knows. Hyundai will be a vehicle brand I will never purchase again because of how sketchy they are in taking responsibility with a mistake they have made. I have also noticed the increasing amount of engine issues with Hyundai on this website. It’s really coming to light and I hope it continues so that Hyundai goes down for their negligence.

Because we bought this car used at 60,000 miles, the original warranties (including the famous 100,000 power train warranty) are not honored. Very frustrating that a car that's barely 5 years old and has less than 100,000 miles on it (and received regular maintenance, at least since we assumed ownership) needs an engine replacement. I was under the impression that engine failures in this age car are extremely rare in modern cars..were we unlucky or is this a bad model? I have learned that other Hyundai models from the same vintage were recalled (see http://autoweek.com/article/recalls/hyundai-and-kia-recall-15-million-engines) but unfortunately the Elantra was not.

I bought this 2013 Elantra gt 1.8 brand new have full record of all oil changes and repairs. I took the vehicle to Hyundai IN Milton Ontario they diagnosed my engine for $120 dollars and told me it was lower end that the engine should be replaced. They sent all my receipts of repairs and oil changes to Hyundai Canada they came back and said to many kilometres but the car is only 4 years old and all highway miles. I travel 210 km a day to work.I phoned Hyundai Canada myself and talk to complaints department and they said they can not do anything because of kilometres. I ask them if they would replace the motor and i would pay the labour but they refused.Very disappointed as i had a 2007 accent brand new and but 320000 kilometres on it engine was still good until I traded it in for 2013 elantra.The actual engine started ticking at around 160000 km but i thought maybe sticking lifter not realizing that it was lower end problem. I am frustrated because my car is in mint shape and the dealer even said that in the letter to Hyundai Canada. The Dealer told they are having to replace a lot of these engines. Why is there not a recall on this problem. Car is still running but very loud metal to metal noise all i can do is keep driving until it blows up. Still owe 1 1/2 years of payment left that sucks. If any buddy can help me please reply. P.S. do not by 1.8 elantra engine big expense hyundai dealer $8000 to replace. Its sad they can not back their problem. At least Mazda has 5 year unlimited kilometres .

I am experiencing the same stuttering and stalling as others have described. I have kept track of time of day, temperature outside, short trip vs. long, AC on or off, full gas tank vs. not full. There seems to be no common parameters. The car will begin to shake, rpms drop to 0, and the car stalls. Restarting takes a few tries, pressing hard on the gas. Tomorrow will be my 4th trip to the dealer. Twice, the check engine light also appeared. First 'fix' was a 'software upgrade'. Second, they were too busy to complete investigation since diagnostics showed nothing. Third, an oil valve was replaced.

I have a Hyundai Elantra 2013. Car has always been a bit shaky but other than that the car ran pretty smoothly. I bought the car with 0 miles and did proper maintenance.
One day out of the blue, with no indication, the engine stalled in the middle of the road. Tried to turn it on but the engine didn't budge. Took the car into a local mechanic and they told me it was an engine failure and I was looking at 3k-4k in damages, so I then transported it to the Hyundai dealer hoping it was covered under their 100,000 warranty since a lot of their vehicles had similar engine problems and recalls.
It's been two days now since I have left it at the dealer and no confirmed diagnostic except that I will be needing a brand new engine and that they need more time to run tests and process paperwork.
Will post updates and outcomes asap.
Update from Jun 28, 2017: I got news today that the Hyundai will be covering the engine under warranty. Estimated 7-15 days until I get my car back. It took about a week to get it approved under warranty but they put me in a loaner vehicle in the meantime.
I didn't get a specific diagnostic or details on what went wrong, just that the engine failed and it will be covered under warranty.
What happened to the car is terrible but they did a great job of making it right. I think it has a lot to do with the dealership you take it into as well; The dealership close to home has terrible customer service which has inclined me to take it to the dealership near work, even if it's a longer drive. The customer service and overall experience has been night and day. Read up on some reviews before deciding which dealership you'll take your car into, it can save you a lot of time and trouble.

problem #9Elantra

- 61,500 miles
Purchased my Hyundai Elantra new in 2013. Had no real problems with it, well maintained, mostly local mileage. Then in May of this year, 2016, the check engine light would come on and off. I thought I wasn't getting the gas cap on tight enough. The last of June it started with a sputtering, lagging action/sound. As if it were going to die on me but never would. It would eventually pick up speed. The problem might not happen again for several miles or not at all at that time but would happen again the next day. Anyway, I made an appt to take it in on July 12th. Mileage---approx. 61,500. My appt was at 8:15 that a.m. I had planned to have someone pick me up but the service tech told me I shouldn't be long and could wait. 'shouldn't be long' turned into over 4 hrs. After the first hour, the tech came back to tell me that the engine was missing and that they'd have to put it on the computer and that would cost $39.95. Told them to go ahead. Finally, after several other customers came and went I caught the tech in the hallway and asked about my car. Was told it was going to have to have a new motor. NEW MOTOR..only 61,500, on time oil changes, am the only driver, etc. I have yet to get an answer from anyone as to what caused the motor to have to be replaced, what is wrong. Only that it will take 2 to 3 months to get it repaired. In the meantime I am having to drive a rental. I have written Hyundai asking what kind of issues and how frequent motors are failing. Can't get an answer out of them either. Apparently 2013 was a very bad year considering the number of complaints compared to other years.
Update from Jul 10, 2018: This is in response to KL. I could never get an answer as to why the engine failed. Not from the dealer and not from the manufacturer. The dealership caused more issues attempting to repair the engine. I had to have it towed back to them 3x. After the 3rd time and it still wasn't fixed, I had it towed to a dealership 90 miles away. They were able to repair the engine issue. Hyundai paid for the repairs as the mileage was only 61500 but it was the worst experience I've had with any car I've owned and that was due to the dealership and their constant screw-ups. So, in answer to your question regarding oil, no one said anything to me about any oil issues. Sorry I can't be more help.
