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.

Early this week my car started making a loud knocking/rubbing sound (Kind of in between when your brakes are ground down to the rotor and a knocking pattern).
FIRST, it started only when I turned slightly left or left.... NOW, it's doing it as I go straight and when I turn to the right as well... oddly enough it's not as bad when going left anymore...
What this could be?? And if it's an easy DIY fix..... (maybe a link on how) and how much the part(s) might be?? I've taken video (for sound as I drive)...but not sure if I can upload it (size limit).
Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Rubbing Noise While Accelerating Between 1st And 3rd Gear
My 2012 Elantra has 16k+ mi. on it and recently I've noticed a noise while accelerating. It typically occurs when first accelerating between 1st and 3rd. The sound itself is hard to describe as I am not a professional so it's hard to find the right words to give an accurate description. It sounds like something rubbing together or perhaps something loose. Any insight into possible causes for strange noises while accelerating on a car this young? It doesn't happen every time, typically when first beginning the drive and occasionally when beginning from a dead stop at a light.

I just purchased a Hyundai Elantra Limited edition car and I am hearing a noise while I am driving. I'll do my best to describe it but it is a difficult noise to decipher. I can hear the noise anytime I am driving but it is more difficult at lower speeds but the noise does increase at lower speeds when I am slowing down. But the noise persists whether or not I am pressing on the brakes so I don't think it is brake related. The noise only happens while the vehicle is in motion. It almost sound like the cross between a rubbing and grinding noise but it also has a internal encased sound. The sound is low pitched and the speed of the sound doesn't change with the speed of the vehicle. I first suspected the brakes because I heard a squealer going off. When I took it in for repair, one of the rear calipers was stuck and so I got both calipers replaced. They said the front brakes looked fine. After doing that repair, the squealer noise is obviously gone since the brakes were repaired but the other noise persists. I would suspect a wheel bearing if the owner hadn't told me it was just replaced. Plus I would have thought that the will bearing noise would change along with the speed of the car.

My Elantra's HVAC fan has always been a quiet thing, even on 3.....we won't mention level 4 and the fact it sounds like a 747 at takeoff.
I kid you not, the very evening I hit 60,000 miles and the general warranty expired, the blower motor started making noise like it was throwing a bearing and definitely sounded like some light metal-on-metal rubbing. After I became irritated at this, the noise went away and didn't come back until just a few weeks ago. I could make it stop by smacking on the bottom of the fan assembly a few times but I want a more permanent solution.
Tonight I dropped the blower out which was stupid easy except for the fact you're upside down in the dark with your head in a hole. But three screws and an electrical connector later, I dropped the assembly to find no serviceable components. I mentioned this to friend of mine who's into Volvos suggested spraying some lithium grease on the hub of the blower and letting it run long enough to quiet it down. I'll do this over the next few days and report back but part of me thinks a new blower may be in my future.
Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Noise From Front At 100+ Km/hr
When driving under a certain speed is perfectly normal but when you go above a certain high speed, a weird noise comes from the front?
I have a front hood but it's secure, checked it incase it was loose.
Elantra MD (2010-15) :: 2014 - Front End Growling Noise
Last week I heard my front end start growling and figured it was a bearing. I bought bearings and when I tore the front end down the left (driver) side felt fine when I had the knuckle out. I changed it anyhow. The right side felt kinda OK and I changed it. I've got a press and made sure not to press on the wrong parts. When I took it for a drive the noise is actually worse now. It's got all the standard bearing symptoms. It get louder the faster I drive and changes when I swerve back and forth. I put the car back on the jack and noticed I could wiggle the wheel a bit. I pulled the wheel and the spindle was able to wiggle. I figured maybe the axle nut was a little loose and I was able to get about 1 more turn on it. That took out the wiggle but the noise is still there. Did I get 2 bad bearings or did I do something wrong?

So I have a 2011 Elantra GLS with just over 20,000mi on it. I noticed today when I make a sharp left turn there is a grinding noise from the passenger front wheel. Almost sounds like the rotors are grinding on the shields. I am going to the dealer in two days to have it looked at, This is the only situation where I hear the noise.
View 2 RepliesLexus GS 2006-11 :: Rubbing Noise Front The Front Of The Vehicle
I am on my 4th lexus; GS2010 (I currently own). I was driving off (very slow speed) from the dealership I noticed a rubbing/scrubbing noise front the front of the vehicle. The next day I started the car and backed out of my garage, put on brakes, turned the steering wheel to the far right and pressed slightly on the accelerator and I heard another noise; sounded like CV Joints going bad. So I contacted the dealer and they told me to bring the vehicle over. The noise was heard and they applied grease to something (cant remember what).
The next morning the noise was back; be mindful the noise is intermittent but mostly after the car has sat and never when the brake is applied. So I contacted Lexus and let them know the problem.
Finally I returned to Lexus, by appointment, and test drove with the lead service tech. The tech identified the noise several times during the drive; hard turns recreated the issue. Lexus contacted me and stated that they had welded something and that should ahve fixed the problem.
However the next day same problem; so I contacted Lexus again. When I returned from a business trip I returned the vehicle. On 5/23 I received a call stating that the tech could not duplicate the noise and if I could come and ride (again). So I left work and went. As soon as we got in the car (tech driving), he put the car in drive and made a sharp left turn (click, click, click); and the scrubbing noise got worse. Now instead of scrubbing on left or right hand turn, now its scrubbing going forward. So I asked why couldn't he do that without me. I had left "specific" notes as to when it happens, keep the windows rolled up, of course don't turn on radio and drive normal. So I left the car.
On 5/30 they had the vehicle fixed (yeah right); they adjusted the rear backing plate. Ok so you had my car 1 week, total time about 2+ weeks and the noise was coming from the backing plates ( I said this to myself). As usual the noise came back and I contacted Lexus. I brought the car back in on 6/13/14 and they replaced the right axle. My thoughts, if you are hearing it from both sides why wouldn't you replace both sides (??). Ok took the car home and again before I left the lexus lot, the noise was back. So I called the dealership right away. I did not turn around, I went home to pack for another business trip. Also if i would have turned around I probably would have given them a piece of my mind and that would not have been good for the situation. I was feed up so upon arrival from my business trip I scheduled an appointment with another lexus dealership; same owner but another location.
I take the car in and they call back the following week and say it was the front right caliper and it was replaced; however he stated that he didn't hear the clicking noise. I pick the car up on July 22, and by July 23, I was taking the car back. The rubbing noise they claim came from the tires and they couldn't duplicate the clicking noise. On July 29, they called me in to ride with the tech; be mindful I still have a loaner. They took me to the repair department and my car was on a lift and they dropped it down. The tech asked if I wanted to drive and I told him he could drive. I also pointed at the car that was on the lift directly beside mine and stated that by the time we get to that car you will hear the noise. he heard the noise.
On July 30, they figured out the problem and told me that they had good and bad news. The good news was they found the problem and the bad news is they can't fix it. It is a typical noise for that vehicle and it comes from the brake actuators. So I went to pick my vehicle up on next day and I asked if they bleed/flushed the brakes and he said No; and then I asked him if he replaced the actuators and he said No. So lets recount the events, You have had my car for 2 weeks with specific directions and couldn't duplicate the noise.
I come and ride with the tech and magically the noise is replicated within seconds and magically you know the problem; however you dont give me any explanation and nothing was done to confirm. That let me know they googled and came to this site and by this brake actuator issue being ongoing with no resolution they blame it on it. However the problem is that the noise is not made when braking, its made when the wheel is turned and the accelerator is inclined.

Tonight it was a perfect 72 degrees and I had to run over to a friend's house and pick up my backpack as I didn't feel like riding my bike the ten miles home with that thing on my back. As I usually do when it's nice outside, I opened both front windows and the sunroof and immediately noticed a mid-level pitch grinding noise that comes and goes but is mostly noticeable at low speeds. Initially I thought it was the brakes dragging but it doesn't change with a brake application so I'm guessing it's the front wheel bearings. I'm calling the dealer in the morning to set up a service appointment.

I have been frustrated with my Elantra's handling from the time I purchased. I feel that the car is setup poorly and has design/OEM part issues.
I have improved the rear-end "hop" issue by replacing the OEM rear shocks with the KYB Gas-A-Just's -- a big improvement in handling the bumps. But the rear-end solid axle on such a light car is just crap...
I have developed quite a bit of 'clunking' noise in the front suspension.
I am considering replacing the front-end shock-strut assemblies with KYBs -- I'd love to hear if it made a big difference. Also wondering if I should change-out the 'sway bar link' while replacing the shock/struts.
I'm just so frustrated with the way this car handles (I've driven Subaru's, Honda's, and VW's) compared to other cars. I feel it's a combination of low-quality OEM suspension parts, rear solid axle, light weight, crappy electric steering settings, and tires that are too wide and too low-profile for such a light car. (I have the limited with 17 wheels).
Elantra MD (2010-15) :: 2012 - Creaking / Clunking Noise At Front End
Driving 2012 Elantra with 29K on the Meter in AZ with temps at 105 degrees. I am getting a clicking clunking noise. Dealership said Strut mounts and replaced them. Drove it off the lot and the noise was still there. Wont go back to that dealership. Creaking clunking noise more frequently now and has shifted from the passenger side to the driver side predominantly. End links? Axles? Brake assembly, Hub? I first heard it when I went over a speed bump at 3-5 mph. Now it can be heard upon acceleration-deceleration, deceleration in neutral with brake only gets the loudest clunk on the Driver side. Ultimately its now constant on turns, bumps, rough roads & even smooth roads while changing lanes. What is causing this.

I own a 2012 Elantra with roughly 74,000 miles on it. Recently, I have been hearing a strange "clicking/ticking" noise coming from my front passenger tire area. It sounds like a "metal" clicking, if that makes any sense haha. I have had numerous issues with this car, and especially noises sort of like this (but of course they're always different)... I posted a video on YouTube showing the sound it makes, and I'll post it below. Also, the sound gets quicker, the faster I go, and slower, the slower I go, so it must be something to do with the tire or something
You might have to listen hard for it, but once you hear the clicking sound, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about [URL] .....
Elantra MD (2010-15) :: 2013 - Brake Pedal Rubbing / Friction When Depress Lightly
New 2013 Elantra owner here.. When initially depressing the brake pedal lightly (before the brake pads engage, usually in stop-and-go traffic), I can feel a rubbing sensation coming from somewhere in the pedal assembly. If it's quiet, I can also hear a groaning sound. This definitely isn't a pad/rotor issue, rather something closer to the pedal itself and inside or near the cabin.
Took it to the dealership and after some coaxing and insistence that it wasn't "normal," they finally said it was the brake switch and replaced it. Seemed to alleviate the problem for a week or so, but now it's back!
Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Extreme Cold Weather - Front Suspension Noise
It's been extremely cold in the northeast recently (<20 degrees), and I've noticed that my suspension has been very noisy (clunking type noises) when I'm driving on uneven roads or bumps. Is this normal? Is there something I can do to alleviate it?

There is a small clunk in the front end and I think it could be the hood. When I press on it with my hand I get a small clunk. I have had the dealership look at it and they are not sure of any way to adjust it. Most cars have rubber topped screws to adjust the hood for a tight fit, but the elantra does not have it.

My 2002 Hyd Elnta GT began making a rubbing type noise it begins about 20 mph and is loudest @ 40 mph I noticed when I make a curve to the right at high speeds it stops but I can still hear like something is still rubbing buts it's a smooth type rubbing sound. When I'm going straight the rubbing is loud like a rib rubbing but when in a curve it's a soft rubbing noise like it's rubbing something smooth.
View 4 RepliesElantra MD (2010-15) :: Tranny Slipping - Ticking Noise Coming From The Front Left
I recently purchased a 2015 Elantra a few months ago and I have noticed a couple times now that when I'm driving along and hit the gas when I'm trying to pass someone or speed up in a hurry that it just revs high but doesn't catch until it revs back down. Is this a normal thing these days or could it be a problem? It's an auto. Also the other day I had the window down and I heard ticking noise sounded like it was coming from the front left but it followed my speed. Hit the brakes and it didn't change but it slowed down when I slowed down. Then I turned and it stopped and haven't noticed it since but I haven't really gone too far.
