2000 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

CONSUMER CANNOT GET OUT THE VEHICLE FROM INSIDE ONCE IT HAS BEEN UNLOCKED. ROLLING THE WINDOW DOWN & USING THE KEY IS THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR.*AK

THE RIGHT FRONT MICHELIN TIRE HAD A BUBBLE PROTRUDING FROM THE TIRE (195/65/14). NLM

INTERNAL BELT SEPARATION--OCCURRED FIRST TIME ON PASSENGER FRONT, NOW IT HAS OCCURRED ON PASSENGER REAR. I WILL BE REPLACING ALL FOUR TIRES WITH SOMETHING ELSE DUE TO THIS CONTINUED PROBLEM, FEAR OF WELL-BEING IN DANGER DUE TO DEFECT, AND THE FACTOR THAT THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT MANUFACTURE THESE TIRES ANY MORE. (TIRESIZE: 195/60/R14)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 195/60/R14 )

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE WILL CUT OFF COMPLETEY. SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC. CONSUMER FEELS THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.*AK

MICHELIN ALL SEASON STEEL BELTED TIRE (P195 60 R14) EXPERIENCED BLOWOUT, THE BLOWOUT CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASH INTO A CONCRETE DIVIDER, DURING THIS THE AIRBAG EXPERIENCED NO DEPLOYMENT, THE VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS BECAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. *SLC

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 30-35 MPH VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. ELANTRA HIT REAR CORNER OF A 1995, DODGE, PICKUP. ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE ELANTRA WAS GONE. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THERE WAS NO DEPLOYMENT OF FRONTAL AIR BAGS. *AK THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALLED AND THE OWNER SUSPECTS FACTORY DEFECT. *YH

WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED STEERING ABILITY GETS VERY DIFFICULT AND VEHICLE CUTS OFF WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, CUTTING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALER, DEALER HAS YET TO REPLACE PARTS. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

THERE ARE TWO PROBLEMS, I AM NOT SURE IF THEY ARE RELATED OR NOT 1) CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK IF ON AN INCLINE. IN ORDER TO GET IT OUT OF PARK, YOU MUST FORCE THE SHIFTER. 2) CAR HAS PROBLEMS WITH INITIAL ACCELERATION AFTER A STOP. WILL NOT GO INTO FIRST GEAR, TRANSMISSION WILL "THUMP" INTO GEAR. TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL IS ADEQUATE

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES MODERATELY, AT SPEEDS FROM 20-25MPH, THERE IS A THUMPING NOISE PRESENT. DEALER HAS SEEN VEHICLE 2 TIMES AND CAN'T FIX IT. *AK

WHEN IT IS RAINING IT BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT WINDOWS DUE TO RUBBER ON THE WIPER BLADES. DRIVER HAS REPLACED THE BLADES. *AK
