2013 Hyundai Elantra Problems. Top 5

[@BradTaylor-y1h]

Had my 2013 Elantra since new. 140000 km. No problems. Just regular maintenance.

[@sjcerrillo]

Never had these problems with my 2013 Elantra GT but I do the regular maintenance and drive it like it was designed for… a cheap commuter car. 170K miles only major issue was the stalling from a failing crank shaft position sensor. $100 R&R. I hope to keep this car until 300K! It’s been good us because we’re good to it?

[@LIFEONAPPS]

you can hit 300k. I have a 2012 358k miles. its doing what your car did. how where you able to find that issue

[@Smoknn777]

my neighbor owns a 2013 since new, has over 100k miles and still looks great. no problems at all. In fact I always commend her on how well it looks and runs.

[@DFWAuto_Hack]

U know how it looks and base yourself upon that to assume it runs well.

[@HighHeelsAndPonytails]

I have had probably all of these issues with my 2013 Hyundai Elantra. I wish I would’ve known this pre purchase. I’ve NEVER had so many issues with a car!!

[@mohammadomarsdad488]

I have 2013 Elantra with 450K km and original engine never got any piston issue

As we speak am sitting with someone with over 420klm 2013 elentra I was like how's that possible.i believe u

My engine just went on my 2013 Elantra Gt lift back. Maintained it regularly. The dealer said that Hyundai extended the warranty to 10 years or 220,000 k. I have 124,000 k but it is 11 years old and they said they have to look into it because of the age.... Not happy. Paid 30,000 for it.

[@weedguys2384]

No way. Constant maintenance and your good. Only problem I have is hitting the side skirts at drive thrus and theft. Thank God for the club.

[@TheCoolOwen]

Been driving my 2013 Elantra new since 2012 and only had ignition coils/spark plugs replaced. Wheel bearings replaced under warranty. 88,000 miles. Just an average car.

[@red.bandits6128]

Sounds like we all had a good experience with this car I still have this car with 210k miles I’ve never had to fix anything major and tbh never had to fix small things not to mention I live in ny and we use salt on the roads never had an issue

[@SazaleeOsman-yz6jm]

Every cars in this world have almost the same problem...it's actually depend on the handling matter..

[@josephboamaboafo7310]

Haven’t encountered this issues before

[@1kreyes]

I bought mine at 58k miles it’s at 76k miles right now haven’t had any problems so far engine just makes a tick/quiet knocking noise while idling been running smoothly so far tho

[@د_محمد_شاهين]

My 2013 Elantra developed the "tick of death" or piston slap at 53k. Replacement engine for $6000 that has 96k on it is the solution from the dealer. Car is worthless ($1k actually). Never buying Hyundai again.

[@luisd.2109]

Do you know where your car was manufactured? Which is the first letter from your vin?

[@Mogooey]

Just got the death tick myself but at 220k KM… also thing my timing chain is giving and having some electrical problems with the blinker all at once.

[@leobaumgartner7254]

My Elantra is at 167500 miles and still running strong no issues just regular maintenance

[@seanpinson9030]

My 2016 is at 122763 miles and has had piston slap since it had 54000 miles. The trick is to always even in 90 degree weather let it warm up so the pistons grow to the size of the bore. If you don't do this immediately after noticing piston slap it will die. Also you gotta change the oil religiously at 3000 or less. If you don't want transmission problems drain and fill every 30000 miles and yes the original brakes suck. Always duralast gold rotors and pads in the front standard in the rear and change brake fluid to dot 4 and change out fluid in master cylinder every brake job. I promise I'm sitting in mine now writing this. Also the motor trembles because of the transmission mount. Not the one under car... dogbone mount but the one under the battery. If you go in the wheel well on driver side there is a little door it's right behind it. Check it for breaks. That's the one that fails. Still owe $ on this car. I will never buy another one either I've had to change everything to keep it going and it does go through tires every 25000 miles

[@rhymeswithtyme]

Oil change every 3k? damn bro this is not a turbo charged car lol.

[@andrewbrann6231]

I saw you too bad for Hyundai before I bought mine and the lady put 1 million miles on it went to the dealer and they had to make a special odometer. Mine is a 2013 and I put a lot of miles on mine 179000. I got the car with 35000 mi 5 years ago and I've only had to replace a steering arm and a alternator and that's it

[@خالد1117]

My car 1.6 L 240000 km it had ac problem only

[@Isabella-wo9bg]

Mine has a air conditioner problem as well. It only works on full speed.

[@DannyPlumb-jh4lb]

How do I recharge the ac

[@spacecowboy7841]

Okay im trying to do research on this car. Your video is the exact reason youtube is useless. Your showing images of different model Hyundai’s and other parts of “the car” which are clearly much older than an a 2013 elantra could possibly be.

[@RRLV434]

I have this car, just bought it with 65k miles on it. So far it has been great. Very smooth ride, great handling, all features work. I’m hoping it makes it to at least 100k

[@TM-sb8tr]

I have this car, the ticking is the worst issue. No way cylinders should tick at 67K miles. Ridiculous and Hyundai won’t do anything about it. Everything else has been amazingly reliable, but it’s embarrassing driving around with this car that sounds like a piece of gravel in a tin can.

[@carlosmathis3672]

[@Mittens.49]

70k had to replace ignition coil, now when idling car almost shuts off. Girlfriend car, she uses me as sounding board about issues 🙄. Car is a piece of shit

Crankshaft position sensor

Tengo este carro lo compre con 71,000 millas de segunda mano y ahorita lo traigo con 110,000 millas y todo bien eso si todos sus servicios a tiempo, unicos detallitos que he tenido el crankshaft position sensor y el motor es un poquito ruidosito en frio

[@kittensmitten3287]

Anyone had issues with these cars getting stolen?

[@tareqshaheen9021]

Everyone is having this issue around Chicago. It’s a really bad, mostly Hyundais and kias. There was a recall to fix this issue but I don’t know how effective it is. I bought a lock for my steering wheel to relief my anxiety.

[@lindsayandmia]

This has been the best car I have ever owned and I bought it brand new in 2013.

[@Vinnie2nuts]

I just bought one, I'm picking it up in 2 days. We'll see....it's either the most amazing car they've ever owned, they have 234,000 miles on it and have only spent 300 dollars in repairs etc... OR it's a piece of crap and the engine went and they had to replace it under 100,000 miles, sometimes around 60,000. I see some say they have had nothing but problems with it and some say it has treated them amazingly for 10 years and still driving like new. I will say, I see WAY more positive than negative overall, and I have done alot of research on this car before buying it. It's scores insanely high in reliability and crash test/safety ratings. Great gas mileage, around 28/36 realistically from what I have heard, 32/33 averageish combined mpg for a long trip. And you can get them cheap compared to other similar vehicles, yet they look very sleek...they look more expensive/high end than you can get them for right now. Classified as a compact but it's closer to the smaller end midsized models than most other similarly-classified "compact" models.
