Hello! Welcome to JustAnswer. Thank you for contacting us for assistance with your Elantra. My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I'll be helping you today. I'm so sorry you are having this issue with your Elantra, I know it can be frustrating.
The P0017 indicates that the timing is off from what it is supposed to be. The possible causes are that the valve timing is actually off, very dirty oil, a bad oil control valve (exhaust) or a bad CVVT Assembly (exhaust). Most commonly it is the oil control valve that is your issue, so since you have already changed the oil and filter I would recommend replacing that next.

Called Goodyear they said they weren’t willing to mess with it because the timing chain is probably messed up, with a car as new as mine.

Changed the variable valve timing solenoids. Hoping that’s what you meant by oil control valve, and still have check engine light. Hoahhh, I’m hoping it’s not the timing chain.

It's rarely the chain itself, usually its the solenoids, hyundai calls them oil control valves, but same thing. If you clear the codes and the engine light comes back, it could be the CVVT which is part of the camshaft gear. But if you have to replace that, you may as well replace the timing chain as well since it has to come off anyway and its just another like $75. Hopefully the valves resolved it.

The shop said timing chain is loose

That could be because a CVVT is stuck, so make sure the check that they can move them

I just had meineke quote me 1000.80 to replace timing chain and components but Hyundai is telling me to bring it to them because something doesn’t sound right. if I knew how to change all of it myself, I would. Don’t want to keep paying money to have it looked at for them to potentially tell me the same thing.

Yeah I would definitely bring it to Hyundai, shops like meineke aren't good for bigger jobs or complicated diagnosis like this
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
