Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Tapping Noise On Cold Start

Mine is just like this other owner's Elantra. Stealership say's "it normal". Surprise, surprise!

When I asked him how come my car wasn't doing it 50 miles ago and the 2013 loaner doesn't do it, his answer was "it's warrantied to 100k". I call BS. It's the timing chain tensioner or the the guides or both.

I say Hyundai knows about this and does not want to pay for warranty work because it's a costly job labor wise. Just like the Sonata's tensioner problems of the past.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: 2013 - Groaning Or Whining Noise On Cold Start

When starting the car and ONLY when it's a cold start, like sitting overnight, it makes this weird "groaning" or "whining" noise. I took a video of it because if I drive it to the dealer, then start the car there, it's not going to do it as it only happens after a long period of being off. Listen really closely after the car starts and right before the radio comes on, you will hear a faint groaning noise. It's louder in person, but this is the best I could do.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: 2012 - Engine Rattle Noise For 1 Or 2 Seconds On A Cold Start

I have a Hyundai Elantra Limited 2012. A few months ago the Short Block was replaced because the engine was noisy. Now it started to do that noise, if I remember it's a little bit similar : Youtube video: [URL] .... Or search youtube for: Hyundai elantra 2012 engine rattle noise

It rattled very loud for 1 or 2 seconds on a cold start the other day too. Noise appears to be coming from the engine. It does it pretty much all the time, at idling, when I accelerate it accelerates too and when I slow down it kinds of do too slowly. Need another new short block or is it something else like the timing chain or a bearing?

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Grinding Noise When Braking

I recently purchased a brand new 2013 Hyundai Elantra and I have noticed that I sometimes when I brake fast but not fully slamming on them from going about 60-80km I hear a loud grinding noise. When this happens the roads are dry so I know that it is not caused by slippery or wet roads.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Ticking Noise When Turning And Braking

I have a 2012 hyundai elantra gls 6speed manual. Every time I apply the brake and turn the car makes a ticking noise that appears to come from the front. It happens when I turn either way. I just had the car inspected, but forgot to mention the noise, and they didn't say anything was wrong with the brakes. It only happens with the brake applied. When I let off the brake the noise stops.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Bad Gas Mileage - Loud Grinding Noise On Hard Braking

I bought a new 2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe this past August and this is my first car.

My first concern was that Hyundai advertises 27mpg in city and around 37(?) for highway. I acknowledge the fact that Hyundai recently had to lower their mpg estimates for some of their cars and provide reimbursements but however, these reimbursements are for 1-2mpg difference. My car after more than 6 months is still only getting about 14-15 miles on a casual drive in the city and only about 19-20mpg combined and about 24-25 on the highway! I am only getting about half the estimate for in city! I do not drive aggressively. In fact I am a pretty safe driver since I am a new driver and cautious about everything. I am also using premium gas on my car. I called the dealership I got the car from and they were trying to tell me about the reimbursement program which I already knew of... The reimbursement based of the 1-2 mileage difference is not what I want. I want to fix it and get close to the estimated mileage as I can. What is the best way to go about doing this?

The other issue is that sometimes when I hard brake, my car makes a loud grinding noise. My dealership's service center said they could take a look at this. I was mainly wondering if there is anything I should be concerned about for this?

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: 2013 - Rubbing Type Noise In Driver Side Front When Braking And Turning Right

I have a 2013 Elantra. There is a rubbing type noise in the driver front when braking and turning right. It only rubs(catches) in one spot. Almost like a pulsation, however doesn't pulsate. Hard to describe. Has a new wheel bearing. There are new pads and rotors (two sets of rotors). Took to my Hyundai dealer today. They can't find anything visible. They said only option is to start adjusting/replacing parts as trial and error.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Rattle On Cold Start Up

I have had a rattle that lasts 2 seconds on my 2012 Elantra for the since about 2 oil changes ago. The car has 152,000 miles on it and I've changed the oil regularly per the maintenance schedule, although not always with a Hyundai filter.

I'm strongly suspecting that this is the timing chain tensioner, but I could be wrong. Other than this, the car runs fine. I tried having the oil changed by the Hyundai dealer with the OEM oil filter and the problem appears to be a little worse. It first started to appear on cold start up after the car sat for >8 hrs or so. Now, it appears on cold start up >2 hrs. I noticed that the dealer put 5W20 in it.

I'm wondering if lower viscosity oil makes the problem worse during hot weather. It seems when the weather is colder it takes longer for it to appear. I'm wondering what my options are here. I really don't know how much $$ it is to go after the tensioner and how critical it is - the dealer said they do replace them and that doesn't always fix the problem though I'm not sure what he meant. I have read a few other posts about tensioners here, but I'm also wondering if this is an issue with the new engine.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Chatter Sound On Cold Start

This just started yesterday on cold start and happened again this morning and this evening always after sitting for hours. I would call it a chatter sound, very distinct and only on the first start. Never heard it before. Have 97K on car, will be changing the plugs soon. Once it is warm the sound is not there on starts. It is only when starting, sounds fine once running. What would only be noisy when cold like this? Timing chain? Valves? I'm going to let others with a better sense of engines than me (my son and his friend who are mechanics) listen to it and see what they think. But it needs to be cold. Never heard such a sound on my Hondas which makes me think it may be the chain. Funny how it just came out of no where.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Very Loud Clicking / Knocking On Cold Start

There's a thread similar to this on the front page, but I wouldn't exactly describe my issue as a "rattle".

I've got a good video of the sound it's making here : [URL] .....

It's definitely much louder with the hood up--doesn't seem quite as drastic when sitting in the driver's seat.

I've come across the thread here on the engine rattle/knock fix, but I'm not sure if this is the same thing. Would this be considered a knock?

It's a 2011 Elantra with about 82,000 miles on the odometer. It has an extended warranty on it, in addition to the 100,000 mile powertrain warranty on it, so it's at the dealership this morning.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Loud Noise On Startup When Car Is Cold

When I start my car I hear this very loud noise. I think it is coming from the exhaust but not sure. This only happens when the car is cold(not weather) and after a few minutes the noise is gone. I have aftermarket lowering springs on the car, do you think that caused the problem?(I'm thinking no)...

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Rough Cold Start And Performance Lags While Driving

Wife has a 2011 Elantra 1.8L... 5 years old and only has 24,000 kms on it.

Barely uses it, mostly for short trips, keeps it parked outside in the elements.

I've noticed the fuel mileage kinda sucks and has a rough cold start and performance lags while driving.

is it worth replacing the spark plugs? Always seems to fix these kind issues with my past cars.

Even with the low kms I assume they might need replacing since its 5 years old?

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Rattling Or Diesel Noise On Start Up

Several times when I started my 2014 Elantra I herd a lot of rattling just like a diesel that lasted around 5 min. I recorded the sound and took car to the nearest dealer in about 100 miles. Two times I left over night so they could hear the sound in AM on first start up. But of course it didn't do it for them and they said they could not diagnose but they did hear clicking noise. When I played the recording said sounds just like a diesel. That's it they did nothing. Now it doesn't sound quite so bad just rattling and clicking. It only 40k miles and still under warranty to 60k. What should I do? Next nearest dealer is about 100 miles. I thought about trading it but I do like the car.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Downshifting From 5th Gear To 1st While Braking

The downshifting while braking is very obvious during braking, I can literally feel the gearshifts going down from 5th Gear to 1st as I brake. I have driven a wide range of cars but haven't experienced this earlier. Is there any modification that can be done or added to change this and make it smoother like usual cars?
