Some Hyundai Elantra GT owners report experiencing internal engine failures that have necessitated multiple motor replacements under warranty. There are accounts of being improperly denied repairs under the vehicle's warranty, raising concerns about customer service and support. Specifically, the 2017 Hyundai Elantra GT has garnered numerous complaints related to engine issues, with problems arising on average after just 30,081 miles, and discussions continue regarding engine reliability in the 2017+ Elantra GT 1.6L Turbo models. Additionally, the cost of engine replacement can range from $4,500 to $6,000, and manufacturers often hesitate to perform costly warranty repairs if they anticipate recurring issues. A lawsuit settlement has been reached for owners of specific models, acknowledging the challenges faced by some Elantra owners, while ongoing campaigns aim to address engine-related concerns such as abnormal noise and bearing wear.
