It has been consuming oil excessively and has developed serious drivability issues. If I try to accelerate even slightly harder than normal\u2014especially above 2,000 RPM\u2014it makes a metallic, chain-type rattling noise, loses power, and produces heavy smoke from the exhaust. The smoke sometimes continues even after shutting the engine off and restarting. Because of this, I\u2019ve been avoiding rapid acceleration and slowly working up to highway speeds.  The car also periodically shakes at idle, idles higher than normal at times, and the RPMs will occasionally rise on their own. In the past it has stalled randomly, and sometimes it feels like the transmission is \u201cstuck\u201d and won\u2019t shift properly. Despite all this, there are currently no check-engine codes. This is terrible and clearly there\u2019s been lawsuits and other recalls regarding the same issue and same engine but nothing for mine? I am out of warranty and had no clue the amount of issues the car was going to have until last year and I\u2019m screwed now, insurance doesn\u2019t cover issues with the engine or transmission. Neither will Hyundai?!   Last year Hyundai performed a CVVT repair that cost about $6,000, which temporarily improved things, but the symptoms returned shortly afterward. When I brought it back, they said they couldn\u2019t recreate the issue. The car is now out of warranty.  Separately, the car was stolen two months ago due to the immobilization fault and TIk TOKs videos and the police said it has been hundreds of these Elantras stolen and destroyd and the ignition and wiper control switch/harness were damaged, which still hasn\u2019t been repaired.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"HYUNDAI","productModel":"ELANTRA","manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America"}]}]}
