What is your question?
Sometimes when I go to crank my car I have to turn my key multiple times and all I hear is a clicking sound

Hi, I'm one of the auto experts on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Great question! On your 2017 Hyundai Elantra a rapid clicking sound when trying to start is almost always related to either a weak or failing battery or a poor battery cable connection. If it’s just a single click, then it is possible that you have a failing starter. I’d recommend having the battery, starting and charging system tested as soon as possible, as a battery or a starter that is struggling now will likely leave you completely stranded at some point in the near future. Many auto parts stores will test your battery for free, but a qualified shop can do a more thorough test of the entire starting and charging system to make sure the alternator and cables are also in good shape.
