Don’t Buy One - Engine Issues
This is my 4th Hyundai, and 2nd Elantra, and I can tell you that I’ll never be buying one again. At only 2.5 years old and less than 82,000 miles, the spark plugs, valve cover gasket, fuel pump, entire engine, and engine air intake had to be replaced in that order to fix a sever misfiring issue that my car experienced due to low compression in one of the cylinders that caused the entire car to shudder violently at all times while driving. One would have thought that a full engine replacement would have solved the issue, but the 2nd engine began misfiring in less than 24 hours from replacement. Even though my car is running ok-ish now, I still don’t trust it, and don’t feel I ever will after the 2+ months it took to solve the issue. I don’t know that I’ll ever be buying another Elantra, or even another Hyundai for that matter after my experience of having to deal with this issue.
