Problem overview

Some 2017 Hyundai Elantra owners report experiencing significant engine failures, including blown engines and stalling at intersections. There have been documented cases of engine problems leading to a class action lawsuit for engine replacement in various models. The average repair cost for these engine failures is approximately $3,040 at around 81,350 miles. Additionally, while some Hyundai dealerships have acknowledged engine recalls, they may not cover repairs associated with issues like sludge buildup, which could stem from manufacturing problems.
