Hyundai Elantra engine turns off during slow driving in traffic on Hyundai Elantra

Problem overview

Some Hyundai Elantra owners report experiencing stalling issues while driving slowly in traffic, which may be attributed to a malfunctioning fuel pump, a failing ignition coil, or a clogged air filter. Additionally, some drivers have noted that their vehicles tend to stall when speeds drop below 40 km/h, potentially due to camshaft sensor problems. In certain instances, owners have observed that the oil light, battery light, and check engine light illuminate just before the car stalls, although the vehicle can often be restarted by shifting into park and cranking the engine. It is recommended that affected owners have their Hyundai Elantra inspected by a qualified mechanic to accurately diagnose the stalling issue and identify the necessary repairs.
