There are several things that go wrong with this car. One is the headlights. I’ve had to change them several times over the span of a year. It also burns an insane amount of oil. I have to change it every 2k-3k miles and even at that point it’s almost out, even with an extender put in it. I’ve
... been told by numerous mechanics that I should just get rid of the car and they only run into this issue with Hyundais, especially the Elantras. My car had begun to act weird the day I got my oil changed this last time. They looked at it and there was hardly any in there even though I was still under the 3k miles. I’ll have to get my oil changed at least once a month at this rate which will require so much money just to do.Read more

Again the car ran for only a few hours before it begin making knocking noises and lost power. Mechanic believes the engine has failed completely and will need to be replaced or that we will need to replace the car.....a problem as there is a considerable balance due on said car.
