Electrical System · reported Nov 8, 2026
My rear back up camera started to not work here and there. Sometimes it would work find then later that day it would not work at all. I would not drive the car for a few days and and the camera would work fine for a day or so then not work once or twice during that trip. Now my back up camera will not turn on at all, It just shows a black or sometimes blue screen. This started about 5 month ago.
Suspension · reported Nov 6, 2026
Even before 40K miles, there has been sound from the suspension and engine mount at front wheels . Multiple visits to the dealer couldn’t resolve the problem and it poses a threat in road. Also there were multiple failures in the car before 40K miles such as oil temperature controller unit that led to overheating of engine and smell from engine, engine mount failure, sound from the front wheels and multiple visits to dealer . There Amy be hidden problems too that led me not to drive longer with this vehicle which kills the purpose of buying it .

Electrical System · reported Oct 21, 2026
I have a 2023 Hyundal Elantra SEL and my rear camera starts flickering and also goes blank frequently. In fact nowadays it is rarely working. I understand that there was a recall for 2021 and 2022 but not for 2023 yet. However it seems the issue continues with 2023 as well cause when I google I see I am not the only one having this issue. I called the dealership and because I am out of warranty they say they will charge as there is no recall for 2023.
Engine · reported Oct 18, 2026
A month ago my car started making a knocking noise very loudly at start up, and once driving for about 5 to 8 minutes it kind of stops, my speed doesn't accelerate as normal and if I go over 67 mph feels like I'll lose control. I see Hyundai have a knock sensor recall and from the video on the website my car makes same sound but my 2023 Elantra isn't list on the recall list. I'm the first Original owner of the vehicle only at 80,000 miles
