Not a big fan

I would stay away from these cars. Rides rough, seats are poorly made (the seams coming apart), the protective coating on headlight is peeling, a clicking noise coming from the engine or fan, the car has stalled on me, sometimes it doesn’t even want to shift gears... The air doesn’t blow cold, the heat isn’t hot enough. My car also uses radiator fluid! I bought it brand new October 2018.

Worst Mistake was Buying this Vehicle

My engine blew due to a manufacturing defect in the engine before my car was even 2 years old. Constant malfunction of high mounted brake light. Transmission slips. Several trips to dealer to have car repaired but issues never correct.

Never buy this car

A good car outside the braking issues that almost cost me my life and Hyundai could care less. I had my ac low pressure side blow out and they fixed that at least but that doesn't matter as much as knowing your car will stop reliably

Paint fuel and seats oh my

Buying the hyundai elantra was the worst experience of my life. Hyundai service is a joke. My paint peeled in a year. Best thing about my hyundai was when I got rid of it and bought my Honda civic. Save your money and buy something else!

Horrible Vehicle

This is the worst vehicle I have ever owned and I will never buy another one.When you drive the car, it feels like the emergency brake is on. This is very concerning and when I took it to the dealership they said it was fine.

A lemon

I’m very disappointed in 2018 Elantra car performance. I am currently on my second major auto repair and of course the extended warranty I purchased did not cover such replacements and repairs I need, such as lost of power which cost over 1200.00 to fix now I have to replace the thermostat.. wow

Hyundai Elantra

Worst experience ever. Car was bought new and has had multiple problems. Made multiple attempts to contact the dealership and they will not help. Took to another Hyundai dealer and they claimed to fix the problem only for it to break down again a week later.

Not worth what we paid for

Car was not what we expected and dealership had shady characters who lied to us about " car care package". It didn't exist. Did not know till months later. Then we found out they were fired.. Too late for us.

Poor preforming vehicle.

I originally was set on buying a ford fusion, but I looked at the Elantra and decided to give this vehicle a try. I can certainly say that I will not be purchasing another Hyundai again. This vehicle is very poor made car.

Design flaw will cost you

This was a decent car overall but the major downfall is the front grill. Its completely open. Theres no protection for the condenser. I had a bunch of come flying through on the interstate and made a little hole and they told me it wasn't covered under warranty and I had to pay almost 1000 if I wanted to fix it. Mind you I only had this car for 2 months and already had to pay 1000 to fix the ac. And hyundia told me it was my fault.

Great vehicle but paint comes off from regular driving

The complaint is the paint. Many elantras of this year have the paint on the hood chipping off just above the headlights and also on the roof just above the center windshield. It isn't covered by warranty because dealers attribute it to hitting small rocks that chip the paint while driving. This is not the problem because rocks don't only hit 2018 elantras in the exact same spot on everyone's elantra that has this paint problem. It is a defect in either the paint or the aerodynamics of the vehicle in that area of the car forming a "sanding effect".

Cheaply made

I’ve been buying Hyundai’s for 20 years now and I won’t be buying any more. My first was a new 2001 Elantra that I put 300,000 miles on before I got a newer one. My 2013 needed a new engine after 100,000 miles with a few other problems. But my 2018 looks and feels cheaply made with numerous problems since buying new.

Paint chipping

Paint is coming off in multiple places, one wheel has rusted, film on headlights coming off. No response back from dealership after several visits and calls to get the problems fixed. No help from Hyundai to get problem resolved

Overall quality of the car went down immediately.

Within the first month we had serious issues with the car. Ride quality went down dramatically, interior panels started rattling and suspension components started clunking. Rear axel had to be replaced because it was defective and the dealer admitted to abnormal tire wear but refused to replace the tires.

2020 is a lemon. No problem with 2 2018. Dealer no good.

I own or lease 3 Elantra. 2 2018 are ok. 2020 is a lemon and no good. Key Hyundai dealer could care less. Highly unlikely I will ever do business with them again. My fault I should have road tested it before I bought it. I assumed would be ok like the 2 2018. I assume incorrectly.

Starting issue

2018 Hyundai Elantra daughters first vehicle purchase. Only starts maybe a third of the time. Took it to a Hyundai dealer to get service and claimed nothing wrong with it. Worst purchase ever. Have to try now and find another Hyundai service garage that will listen to the issue and actually take time to fix it the right way

Love the car - Hate that there has been an issue from the date of purchase

I purchased my Elantra used at 38k miles with an extended warranty. While I love the vehicle, there has been an issue with crunching/squeaking noises around right turns from the day I bought it. It has been verified by a service manager but they don't seem to be able to pinpoint the issue. This same issue has been documented by other 2018 Hyundai Elantra owners on various chat sites so it is not an isolated issue. If not for this problem I would rate the car 5 stars.

That car is the worse I have ever driven. I was sold a car for a new car price but a very bad used car. It had lots of Mike's and lots of defects that has to be fixed and priced what I would have spent on a new car
