2013 Hyundai Elantra limited push button cranks but won't start

2013 Hyundai Elantra 169 miles
I have a 2013 Elantra limited. It's a push button start. It does not have a key start. The car does not start. It cranks up but will not turn over. The security light stays on. It supposed to go off after 3 seconds. A mechanic told me that if the security yellow light with the picture of a car and a key stay on, that keeps the car from starting. I change batteries in hob. I tried both key hob and held key to ignition switch and it still won't start. I believe the problem is with the immobilizer or the key hob. I think one of them needs reprogramming. But i am not sure.

Overheating

2012 Hyundai Elantra Limited 100000 miles
After driving for maybe 20 min. In 87deg. F. The temperature gauge goes to red line. Note: should fans go on by the radiator when temperature goes up?
Is their a sensor or fuse that we should check or me being old school it would be the thermostat?

Thermostat is a good first move but there is also a cooking temperature sensor that should be on the block. Yes the fans should kick on if they are too hot. Have u checked the hoses for the correct temps or to see if pregnant? Another thing to check most people forget about is the heater core if u turn on the heat does the temp go down?if it does then it's the thermostat if not possibly the heater core may need replaced and please fill the antifreeze up thru the reservoir with the car running so it doesn't create a bubble that will cause overheating until the air is released from the system.

Engine needs to be replaced

2014 Hyundai Elantra Automatic sedan 70000 miles
My 2014 Hyundai Elantra is lady driven, well maintained. The oil light started flashing just before Christmas which led to multiple visits to the dealership. There is tapping coming from the engine. I was told the entire engine is gone, and as it is just outside the warranty it will cost $9,000+ to replace. Dealership is not very helpful. I expected the car to last more than 130,000km. Poor value for money and buyer beware!

Bella You need to Register your Complant with Hyundai Canada. There is a recall on 1.4 million cars and SUV s in the world with stemming from Piston Slap that's what Hyundai calls it Fight them as they are pushing customers into new cars and adding Debt of old car onto you. Better for them a financial ruin for the customer I'm in the same boat. It wouldnot matter if the car was painted with Lemons it is a Hyundai Manufacturing failure and NOT the customers fault it doest say the date on your comment but mine started 1000km over warrenty in Oct 2017 Do more research and make it public I have been in touch with OMVIC Transport Canada Safty Dept Marketplace and Global TV.

Rough idle and shaking at stop after 60,000 miles

2018 Hyundai Elantra Sedan 65000 miles
Hi everyone, I drive around 65,000 miles, and recently I’ve been noticing a rough idle issue. When the car is stopped (like at traffic lights), the engine sometimes vibrates more than usual, and the RPM slightly fluctuates. It’s not stalling, but the shaking is noticeable inside the cabin. While driving at normal speeds, everything feels fine. There’s no check engine light on, and fuel consumption seems normal. I’ve already checked basic things like fuel quality and haven’t made any recent repairs or changes. Could this be related to dirty throttle body, spark plugs, or engine mounts? Has… Read complete

A rough idle at around 60k miles is pretty commonly linked to things like worn spark plugs, dirty throttle body, or even engine mounts starting to go. Since it only happens at a stop and not while driving, I’d definitely start with a basic tune-up and cleaning before assuming anything major. Hope you get it sorted soon!

Same issue here, when I put it in N it stops though. Also new spark plugs, trottlebody cleaned...recent service.
Im leaning toward the mounts will need to be replaced.
RobbertClaus from United States 2 months ago
Chasing a rough idle at stoplights will drain your patience faster than almost anything else. I went down that exact rabbit hole last year—replaced spark plugs, cleaned the throttle body, and swapped motor mounts, but the shaking at red lights just wouldn't clear up. Ended up taking it over to https://www.culvercitychevrolet.com/ to see what they'd give me on a trade-in instead. Sinking another grand into diagnostic fees on a high-mileage daily just wasn't worth the headache

I'm having the same issue. The diagnostic tool says it's some sensors that need to be replaced. We’ll see if that works.
emmamartin2133219 from Pakistan a month ago
This sounds like a potentially serious oil pressure issue, especially since the light comes on when the engine warms up and the car stalls. I’d avoid driving it until the actual oil pressure is checked, as low pressure can cause major engine damage. Also, make sure the oil level and filter are correct. An HD photo background editor can be useful for sharing clear photos of the engine bay or dashboard warning lights when asking for help online. https://airbrush.com/background-changer

I remember when my Elantra’s check engine light came on unexpectedly—I was so stressed! This guide really breaks down the common issues and reassured me that it's often nothing serious. It’s empowering to understand these signs, especially as a first-time car owner. Thank you for simplifying such a daunting topic! <a href="https://slope-rider.io/">slope rider</a>

Engine won't start

2009 Hyundai Elantra 92000 miles
My car won't start. It was left with the contact breaker on for five hours. I assume it is the battery but I have already tried with another one and it does not start, even though all the dashboard lights turn on. It is the first time something like this happens to me, and I don't know if some circuit can be blocked, such as the injectors.

It might either be that the ignition has no coals or an ignition switch signal failure.

Starting issues

2013 Hyundai Elantra 118000 miles
After I drive my car around for about 30 to 45 minutes and then I stopped at the grocery store grab something and then I go back to get in my car and leave. I can’t get my car to start for at least 30 minutes and then it will start back up like there was never an issue. I don’t have a check engine light on my batteries new and I don’t have any other issues what could be causing this problem? Won’t let me upload a video. Thank you

Transmission do not work on first gear

2016 Hyundai Elantra Transmission 166000 miles
The vehicle is a 2016 Hyundai Elantra with an automatic transmission. The transmission does not engage 1st gear properly. When starting from a complete stop in Drive (D), the engine RPM increases, but the vehicle barely moves or does not move at all, as if the transmission is slipping in 1st gear. As a temporary workaround, I can manually select 2nd gear using the manual shift mode, and the vehicle is able to move and be driven from there. If I leave the transmission in Drive and do not manually select 2nd gear, it eventually enters fail-safe (limp) mode, shifts directly into 4th gear, rema… Read complete

My car won't go backwards on a downhill road

2013 Hyundai Elantra 1.8 75000 miles
Hello everyone. My car won't go backwards on a downhill road. The car shakes and won't start. It's like the engine is choking. I washed the Throttle Bodies and it fixed it for a while. But it happens again and the Throttle Bodies is clean. There are no problems with the transmission and the check engine light doesn't come on. What could be causing this?
