Pulled over on the side of the road and popped the hood to find the radiator wet and smelling sweet. I limped the car the few miles and had the car towed to the local dealership. The dealer ship stated that the radiator fan was loose causing the blade to rub a whole in the radiator causing a hole to form.

My car intermittently begins to idle rough and stall while in drive. The system check in the car normally reveals nothing. On occasion it will give a message regarding the ems., I took it to the dealership, and ask them to check and they could find nothing wrong. This check was done at approximately 59,000 miles. After the system check at the dealership the automobile stop having stalling problems for a while. The car is now at 76000 + miles and is beginning to stall again while in drive. It is also showing signs of idling rough with no indicator or system check revealing any problem. Just recently it has begin to stall again and the check engine light comes on intermittently and then goes back off. This presents a safety hazard when driving or transporting others. Specifically, rough idling can happen when the car is in park. Stalling of the engine occurs when the car is in drive only or in reverse gear.

My Elantra turned off while I was driving it, within 30 minutes the car turned off 3 freaking times, which almost caused an accident but I managed to turn vehicle on right away and move to the side of the road. No warning lights came on or check engine lights came, thank god I was alone and did not have my 5 year old with me. Hyundai needs to really look into all these problems asap
Engine dies intermittently at various speeds. Rmp's drop, engine light comes on and engine dies. At times there will be a shake from the engine and a loud rumbling sound while the fan was on prior to engine shutting off. Vehicle does restart immediately 90% of the time and drives normal. These episodes happen several times while driving. At one point I had my child in the vehicle, I was entering the interstate and the entrance ramp was onto the fast lane in rush hour traffic. I was traveling at a fast speed of approx. 65-70 mph as my vehicle stalled once again, I lost control of steering power. There were several vehicles behind me that had to slam on their brakes and veer off the road to avoid hitting me. It was a very scary situation to be in, nevertheless unsafe. My vehicle has been serviced with my local Hyundai dealership 3 times as of today. It's going back today for a 4th attempt. Service call #1: cannot duplicate and no codes present, bring back when it happens again. Service call #2: cannot duplicate and no codes present, reset adaptive values and road tested rescanned no codes present, bring back if any other issues. Service call #3: finally got a duplication, no codes present still, replaced front engine cover and exhaust cvvt phaser per Hyundai tech line. After having my vehicle back for the third attempt the engine dies twice within 45 minutes.

There is a check engine light. There is loss of power. Engine does not run properly. Correctly. The dealership can not find a fault code so can not fix it. The car is still under full warranty with premium extended warranty

Since I have had the car from 2017 to now, there has always been an issue with the engine. The car will shake and then slow for a few seconds and the engine light will pop on. The breaks are sometimes very hard. I sometimes have to push harder on them, but then they make a weird noise. It is quite scary.
Takata recall. I was driving on a highway and tried to speed up, my check engine light came on and the car was not speeding up or slowing down very well. It was slightly shaking. The check engine light turned off and the car was working normal again, but then the car screen started flashing and ended up shutting off.
Engine coils had to be replaced or switched out two times in two weeks. Car stopped in the middle of driving after it was "fixed" the first time. Causing a dangerous situation
