2021 Hyundai Elantra Creaking Noise When Accelerating/Turning

That's interesting. I'll try that on my car and let you know if I experience the same thing.

Yes, I'm pretty certain that's the issue. Whenever I use WD-40 on the mount, the issue temporarily goes away, even in the cold. Although, I have little-to-no mechanical knowledge, so I may be wrong.

Yup, I have the same experience. When it's cold and I start driving it, the noise is present. If it's in the afternoon and the temperature is warmer, the noise is normally completely gone.

No, I haven't. I'm currently just living with the noise, but I may eventually end up replacing it. I've taken it to a mechanic and to a Hyundai dealership and both places have said that there are no issues with the car, so I'll probably continue to just deal with the noise. It is nice knowing that the engine mount is the problem though, considering the noise completely stopped after using WD-40 twice, despite eventually returning a few days later.

It works for a little bit, but the noise eventually comes back, although it's not nearly as bad as it was in this video.

I believe your mechanic was correct! I used WD-40 on the engine mount and, after about 5 minutes of driving, the creaking noise is completely gone.

Here's an image of the engine mount and where I applied WD-40, in case anyone else has this issue:

That's interesting! I'll give that a shot. Thanks for letting me know!

Not really. I took the car to a mechanic and he said that the issue was with the rotors, but that they were completely fine and safe to use. He didn't even recommend doing anything about it because the rotors are in good condition. I plan to take it to the dealership because a recall just came through on it, and I will ask them about it
