2025 HYUNDAI ELANTRA N

AIR BAGS:SENSOR:SIDE IMPACT

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2025 Elantra N, 2026 Tucson, Tucson Hybrid, Tucson Plug-In Hybrid Electric (PHEV), and Elantra vehicles. The B-pillar impact sensors may have been misassembled, which can delay air bag deployment.

On January 10, 2026, I purchased a brand new 2025 Hyundai Elantra N with manual transmission. At approximately 517 miles, the vehicle experienced complete clutch and transmission failure and was towed to the selling dealership. The dealership diagnosed the failure and presented a repair estimate of $6,222.96, classifying it as "customer pay/user error" and denying warranty coverage. Parts identified for replacement included the clutch cover assembly and flywheel assembly. I did not authorize any repair. I escalated to Hyundai Motor America corporate, who confirmed the dealership had not responded to their warranty inquiry for over two weeks. On February 18, 2026, Hyundai Motor America's National Consumer Affairs formally denied my warranty claim in writing, stating the clutch failure was due to "improper operation" and classifying it as external influence rather than a manufacturing defect. A complete clutch and flywheel failure at 517 miles on a new vehicle represents what I believe t

After my recent software update Elantra N I have had issues with my n buttons on my stearing wheel will random default to factory setting and I have to go back into the settings to reset how I have it set. I also have been having my exhaust valve randomly open and stick open it doesn’t respond to drive modes and stays wide open I look in exhaust and confirmed it is stuck open. When it’s stuck the car will not pop or anything. In ordered for me to fix it I have to pull over and plug in a obd2 scanner that I had to go out of my way to purchase. From there I have to put it in acssesory mode and do an active test on the valve which basically opens and closes it. There is no code on the scanner. And sometimes tha still won’t work I have taken it in to my local Hyundai dealer on multiple occasions and still have not had my issue resolved they ordered a spring it didn’t work I also had a new valve motor put on and still hasn’t fixed the issue. My dealer has said they cannot replicat

The "consider taking a break" alert is way too sensitive and there is no way to turn it off. It's distracting while driving with lights and chimes for no apparent reason. If there were a way to shut it off there would be no issue.

I was driving down I-45 mid day on October 14th, 2025 going about 65-70MPH and out of no where I hear a loud gunshot like noise and about a minute or two later I heard my sunroof crack and glass fall in. I believe it is from nickel sulfide inclusions

“Consider taking a break” pops up constantly, especially if you’re driving through construction and just in general. It’s distracting to have to ding at me every 5-10 minutes. It will turn down my audiobook on CarPlay and make me miss information ad well as impacting my GPS giving direction. It’s pointless, frustrating, and I can’t turn it off. It should be optional.

I bought a brand new 2025 Elantra N at a dealership in IL. It had 25 miles on the dash and still had the plastic on it. We tried to drive it home and there was no A/C. The local dealership in MS inspected it and it needs a brand new evaporator core. They said it came from the factory needing this repair.
