- If you own a 2012 Hyundai Elantra, you need to be aware of the engine and some common problems and issues with it. In this video, I am going to share with you some issues that I have had and currently still have with this Elantra. The Elantra is a nice model and vehicle, however every car comes with its pros and its cons and I'm going to let you decide if what I've experienced is a problem for you!

Thanks for this video. I have a 2011 Elantra with 140k miles. Second owner. It has the same sound yours have on a cold start and I took it to a dealership who then contacted Hyundai USA. They refused to do anything about the engine.
thank you for your comment, this does not surprise me, like i say its all about the money, hyundai makes a lemon and refuse to pick up the tab, im sorry, i would stay on there back until they pay up, keep calling the company, god bless,
A news flash for all of you non-mechanics who own a Hyandai Elantra/ Accent. That ticking he speaks of has to do with the valve train, which is in the top on end the engine. The valve train is run by the camshafts, not the crankshaft (crank is in the bottom end and controls the piston movement). A bad crankshaft would result in a servers knocking/ banging sound which would destroy your engine very quickly, look up engine knocks if you don’t believe me. My girlfriend and I own a 2013 Accent 125k miles with the same “issue”. I’ve done multiple oil changes and diagnosed the whole drivetrain a few times with no codes. The ticking (or pecking as he calls it) is most likely a lifter/ valve tick, very common in older Subarus. Every vehicle & driver are different, but for the most part this is not a major issue. Stay up to date on your oil changes and make sure it’s full, a small engine running low on oil is most likely deprived of the lubrication it needs to run smoothly. Valve train ticking is very common, hopefully this helped someone. Good luck to all
So you wouldn’t say it’s too much to worry about if can’t be replaced under warranty?
Wrong, these year Hyundai's have a piston slap issue.
Mine did the same. Cold starts mostly. But occasionally all the time. I keep up on the oil changes and i took that thing on 2 road trips. From WA state to Michigan and back. Also from WA state to SLC, then Vegas, then Reno and back to WA. Never overheated, never had one issue. Traded it in after paying it off for a real nice BMW..... FML. Issues from day One.
Hey great video I have I 2012 Hyundai Elantra touring with 226,000 kilometres (about 140,000 miles) haven’t had these problems yet but I definitely hear the engine knocking I live in Canada and it’s been really loud this winter I’ll look into more thank you for the information
thank you for your comment, please get your motor checked out, trust me mine only had 77k knock knock ping ping, it could lock up on you, god bless,
my 2012 elantra has gone 409,000 miles with no engine problems ,it only needed a timing chain tensioner ay 283,000 miles it still has the original water pump! You can make them last this long if you know what your doing . trans. got replaced at 329,000 miles ,a salvage unit with 43,000 miles only cost 250.00 put it in my self ,the paint still looks like new .I think it's the best Asian car on the market .i don't baby it , it gets hammered hard every day yes it is starting to use a little oil about a qt. every 8000 miles nothing wrong with that.
thank you JOHN for your comment, wow that is so impressive to me, i just hope that mine gets half of those miles that yours had got. i had my engine replaced a month ago, after only 77k miles ,but its started knocking at a very young age if you know what i mean.good part is HYUNDAI paid for the new motor block. i kn ow theres good and bad in everything you my friend found a nugget, god bless,
Just curious if you live in a warm climate or a cold climate. I have an elantra that ticks very loudly on freezing winter mornings.
Cheers!
Cheers! to you,lol
Got my recall notice on a flyer today. Talked with you a few months ago I am taking mine in this week with rod knock already.
thank you for your comment, yes i remember you, hope all is well, sorry to hear about your car,but thats the norm if you own a hyundai, god bless,
@@KennyReviews1 My boss called our Hyundai dealership I work for Dodge and they said its 150k and 15 year warranty so I indeed with 115k get a new engine!
congrats congrats, merry christmas,
@@KennyReviews1 Yes sir!
Got rid of mine last week! It was ticking like that too at 78k. Traded it in for a 2018 VW Tiguan! Ugh, what a bullet I dodged there! Hate to hear you need a new engine 😕
thank you DAVID for your comment, david david, my friend you should have called the dealer where you bought it . thats what i did, now ive got a new engine in my car. it only took about a month. let me tell ya it didnt cost me one red cent. HYUNDAI paid for it, now its as quiet as a mouse RUNS GREAT . all power restoredm cant beeeeeat that, god bless,
A VW..lol. Same GDI crap but more expensive.
Does it only work for if you’ve already paid for it? Is it technically a recall? My engine is making that noise too.. I got a letter quite a while back but I ignored it at the time. Thanks!
thank you for your comment, yes it should, yes technically it is a recall, hey listen a lot of ppl got that letter but a lot of ppl did not, dont worry about it ok, take my advice and call HYUNDAI today, just tell them your engine is KNOCKING, next step is to take it to your dealership, stop ignoring your car, lol, lol,god bless,
Kenny how did your car inspection go?
thank you my friend for your comment, great ??? my dealership was really nice and helpful. they gave me a rental car, but it took two days to get it aproved, but thats the norm, ive got 3,000 miles on the new engine block, everything is good, hope this helps you,god bless,
In my vicinity, there is a 2012 Elantra GLS up for sale with 170k miles priced at $4k. Since the car is high mileage, I wonder if the engine problems would have already showed up by now.
thank you my friend for your comment, wow, if the engine problems have not showed up yet you get bet there not far away.if if i was in the market to buy a used car. i myself would avoid this one, no way, toooooo MUCH OF A RISK, god bless,
@@KennyReviews1 Thank you, appreciate your quick response
picked up my 2011 with the 2012 motor for 4300
Hi Kenny, thank you for this video! I also own a Hyundai Elantra, mine is a 2011. It has 143,000 miles on it and I've had it for a little over a year. (I'm the second owner). I also got this letter in the mail, but when I put in my VIN number on the website they told me my car was not qualified. My engine has had the ticking noise since I bought it, and is now getting even worse! It's starting to sound like I'm driving a diesel truck. I brought it into my local mechanic and they told me I would have to get a new engine. I'm wondering what work you got done on your Elantra, and if it solved your problems. I've been looking everywhere for answers. Thank you for your time!
thank you very much for your comment,i wish i had some answers for you, right now my car in in the shop. they checked it out and told me i needed a new engine. mine only has 77k miles on it, on a really cold morning the motor had a bad knock but shop said they would fix it for FREE. its been 3weeks i'm just waiting to hear from them at the shop.i have a friend that had a hyundia the engine locked up ouch ouch, the dealership did tell me that you must be the first owner to qualifie for a new motor, hey i would read that LETTER AGAIN , there might still be something you can do. to get a new motor, god bless
Mine is a 2012 we just bought it had 120000 on it but it has the same knocking sound not as loud but they said that there was nothing wrong but we know this is not normal. Where may I get information about this to maybe get ahold of them.
thank you nichole for your comment, im sorry to hear about your car knocking, but its a hyundai, lol, now to answer your ??? just call hyundai the corporate office, and just say HEY my car is knockkking,, they might want you to call the dealership, i hope this helps you, glad to have you onboard as a new subscriber, god bless, p,s, let me know if i can help you again my pleasure,
Hi i just got to your video as i research my 2013 elantra engine. I feel like i am noticing this knock now at 113k miles. Do you know if this is only for original owner? I research and saw they are siting only cold weather states are involved. I am in az so not sure if i should still try and call the dealer.
Thank you my friend for sharing I appreciate it, yes I would still give them a call I mean you never know, you just might get lucky,I gotta tell you I would never buy another one never 👎 good luck with it my friend god bless,🙏🙏
@@KennyReviews1 did you end up getting rid of yours? Did the new engine last?
I bought mine used in 2015 and never seemed to have issues until this year.
Did your knock only happen during cold start? Did you notice any other symptoms prior to going to dealer and getting the letter? So far I don't notice any oil consumption, smoke, or engine lights. I just hear a tapping and I'm noticing possible small loss of mpg.
I'm taking it in to my local independent mechanic first and see what they say. But I'll probably also call dealer.
HELLO MY FRIENDI APPRECIATE YOU FOR SHARING THIS WITH EVERYONE, IF YOU WATCH MY VIDEOS YOU MIGHT REMEMBER BACK IN THE LATE SPRING I HAD A REALLY BAD CAR CRASH. YES IT WAS MY HYUNDAI I CRASHED IN, IT WAS HEAD ON, I BOUGHT IT NEW BACK IN 2012, IT FIRST STARTED KNOCKING AT ABOUT 50K MILES, I PUT UP WITH THE KNOCK UNTILL 75K MILES THEN I CALLED HYUNDAI AFTER I GOT THIS LETTER, AND YES THEY REPLACED MY ENGINE, AFTER I DROVE IT ANOTHER 30K MILES IT DID GOOD, THAT WAS IT I HAD THE CRASH, NOW I WILL SAY THE KNOCK BEFORE THE CRASH THE KNOCK WAS THE SAME IN WARM OR COLD WEATHER, I WILL BE HONEST WITH ANYONE WANTING A HYUNDAI, I MY SELF WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE, I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU, I MEAN THAT, GOD BLESS,
@@KennyReviews1 thank you for all the info. Also I'll have to watch more of your videos. I wasn't aware of the unfortunate accident but glad to hear you are ok.
I'm going to cross my fingers my car isn't on the verge of having major issues, but I'll see what the mechanic and dealership say.
My 2013 Elantra GT shuts down when driving for a certain distance.and it’s difficult to start unless I try for several times.. it does same again after a short distance.. any help?
thank you for your comment, my advice to you my friend is for you to call hyundai immediately, tell them whats going on, in my opinion your just about ready to be f o r d found on road dead, god bless
I’m having my 2018 elantra serviced now, also engines issues 😑
thank you my friend for your comment, are you telling me your engine is failing? or something like that, that would not surprise me, god bless,
My 2013 Elantra only has 29,000 miles and it is making the knock sound on cold start up and acceleration
thank you ROBERT for your comment, as i say to everyone that owns an ELANTRA. call your dealership and say HEY MY CAR IS KNOCKING. DO IT TODAY MY FRIEND,god bless,
my 2011 Hyundai Elantra GLS with the 2012 motor sounds EXSACTLY like that.
its very interesting. when i get a fresh oil change it will go away until im half way to another oil change. Definitely gets worse the colder weather you get into.
the motor has 135k M and still running strong i guess well see how long it will do so
thank you for your comment, if i may ask, why does your 2011 have a 2012 motor? anyway if i were you my friend i would call hyundai imediately, and say my engine is knocking, good luck and god bless,
will do. i bought my 2011 hyundai elantra for 4k with the motor replaced because the lady before ran it with 0 oil
i have a question. does your elantra idle at about 1700rpm? i would assume normal idle is at 1500rpm not 1700
thank you TURBO for your comment, now to answer your ????, i am honest with you my friend, i really dont know, sorry, god bless,
That looks like the Hyunai accent which had the 1.6 engine. The Elantra had the 2.0 engine.
TRUST ME MY FRIEND MINE IS THE ELANTRA, AND MINE GOT A NEW ENGINE, THANK YOU, GOD BLESS,
Hey Kenny Im interested in buying a 2012 Hyundai Elantra with 84,882 miles for $11,500 does that sound ok to you?
i appreciate you sir, thanks for watching,i just want to remind you, my car only had 77k miles and it was knocking, it was a small knock, but it was shomething you could hear, its kinda hard to say if or when it starts to knock, if it was i i would not be interested, no, not me, i'm just being honest with you, but its your choice, thanks again for watching, god bless,😀😀
Thank you🙂
i have a hyundai elantra with 97k miles, on the manufacturer tag on the drivers door the date states 12/03/2011 so i’m guessing it’s a 2012? mine also has a tic tic noise almost like it’s the timing belt? my dad knows a little about cars but he states it normal?
THANK YOU MY FRIEND FOR YOUR COMMENT, I TO BELIEVE THAT IF ITS NOT BROKEN DONT TRY TO FIX IT, LOL,but believe me i own A HYUNDAI, i have a ton of comments by hyundai owners with so many engine issues, now let me say to you your car could be running great today but be dead tomorrow. it might be a small knock today and a loud pecking tomorrow, hope this helps, god bless,
@@KennyReviews1 Yes Sir, I love my Hyundai but i'll admit, it does have its ups and downs. Now my car shakes like crazy when I am idle at a stop light, and the RPM goes down to about 600. I am scared it might be something serious so I might as well sell it off soon.
THANK YOU MY FRIEND FOR YOUR COMMENT, i own one myself i understand how you must feel. but you are right it is something serious,believe me this is the NORM WITH A HYUNDAI,now let me ask you a ??? why would you try too sell it????? when you can let hyundai fix it, listen hold hyundai responible call them today, god bless,
@@iycrtily Try an engine cleaner, then check for valve timing solenoid issues. Do the simplest things first before spending a lot of money. Have a second and even third opinion of what the issues are.
@@iycrtily classic easy to fix dirty throttle body, many youtube vids.
Can anyone help me? I have a hyundai elantra 2012 GLS, 140000km.When i start up the engine the car can not start , i have to do many attemps before it starts..... I already change the fuel pump and the problem continues.... I don't know what to do :'(
thank you RICARDO for your comment, first let me say, YOUR CAR NEEDS A NEW ENGINE, my car which is also an elantra is IN THE SHOP ITS GETTING A NEW MOTOR,BUT THE GOOD PARTisHYUNDAI IS PAYING FOR IT. if you bought your car new then you should be ok, you should have got the letter from hyundai, first step for you to take is this,CALL the dealer where you bought your car, remember that this a recall prob, i hope this helps you, god bless,
Had the same issue. Try looking into induction cleaning where grime builds up. I think that’s what it is called.
thank you ERIK for your comment, im not sure i know what you mean, are we talking about engine probs or what?? i mean the only thing that fixed my prob was a brand NEW motor, god bless,
@@KennyReviews1 Yeah, I had to get the lower part of my engine replaced as well. Sorry, I'm not that familiar with car terminology. For the start up problem, there was build up on the flaps that control flow to the engine that caused trouble when starting the car. I had to give it gas to get it to start up.
thanks again ERIK for your comment, its ok my friend theres nothing to be sorry about here.i mean this is a matter of life and death for the hyundai elantra, this is a serious prob for ppl that own one like you and i. you make a good point about the oil flow to the motor,but so many ppl dont understand thanks god bless,
I had my engine replace few monthes back , but now its dying after 5 of so minutes
thank you for your coomment, trust me you are not the only one having this prob, i think the best thing to do is call hyundai back and tell them the prob, they might have put the old sparks plugs back in the new engine, hope this helps, god bless,
@@KennyReviews1 I was able to fix my problem....crankshift sensor ..... took 15 mins
awesome, thanks for sharing,
That actually sounds more like the tensioner
THANKS KEVIN FOR SHARING I APPRECIATE IT, I AGREE, GOD BLESS,
Does this apply to australian model?
thank you for your comment, i'm really not sure, but it might depend on which state or country you or i might live in. but ofcourse its a hyundai no matter where its bought, but how would an australian model be different?? god bless
@@KennyReviews1 think the Korean made engines are ok, the Alabama engines are bad.
THANKS FRANK, HOW CAN ONE TELL THE DIFFERENCE? I THOUGHT THEY ALL ARE DUDS,
@@KennyReviews1 think there are 2013 Elantras out there that will last without major problems has to be. hope im one of those. i have my 2013 limited bought new don't drive much 40,000 miles no issues except one check engine light p0301.p0456 both easy fixes just the computer doing its job as expected. i live in hot Las Vegas this might be good for the Hyundai no real cold starts. engine is quiet and shifts and drives very strong. But all said i need to watch and listen for changes and hopefully sell the car before it blows.
THANKS FRANK I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENT, I HOPE YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE, MINE STARTED KNOCKING AT ABOUT 70, OOO MILES, YOU MIGHT GET LUCKY LOL, THANKS FOR WATCHING, GOD BLESS,
MY 2012 Ford focus ticks like that and is only has 100,000 Kilometers on it.
that don't sound so good, i believe i would get it checked out really soon, in my case hyundai replaced the engine, thanks for sharing,
sounds like my friend tdi Jetta.
thank you for your comment, im not sure what that means lol,
Which engine does this involve?
im not sure i understand what you mean.the engine they replaced is my 2012 ELANTRA it only had 77,000 miles on it, let me know if i can be of more help to you. god bless,
