2000 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN APPROACHING THE STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED. IT ALSO OCCURS MORE OFTEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. *AK

I HAD TO REPLACE THERMOSTAT/RADAITOR/SPARK PLUGS/WIRES, AND OIL CHANGE IN NOVEMEBER, COSTING $800, THE FOLLOWING MONTH I HAD TO PUT A NEW ENGINE IN MY CAR, COSTING $6000. MY CAR IS STILL IN THE 10YEAR 100,000MILE WARRANTY, AND THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY CAR OVER 3MONTHS.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WITH NO WARNING. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FOUR TIMES. *AK

WHILE DRIVING, THE SEAT BELT POPPED LOOSE. THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED THE DRIVER TO HIT A TREE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED HEAD INJURIES. THE DRIVER WAS SEEN BY A MEDICAL TECHNICIAN ON SITE, BUT REFUSED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED.

CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE BRAKES. CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. ALSO, A KNOCKING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR ANALYSIS. CONSUMER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FINE UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH A DEER IN THE ROAD. UPON IMPACT, DUAL AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK

IN DECEMBER, 2000, WITH ONLY 5000 MILES ON THE CAR, THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. SINCE THEN, THE CAR HAS HAD NOTHING BUT TRANSMISSION TROUBLES. THE TRANSMISSION HAS GOTTEN STUCK IN 2ND GEAR WHILE OUT ON THE HIGH WAY. WHEN SLOWING DOWN, IT HAS SUDDENLY JERKED INTO FIRST GEAR, CAUSING THE CAR TO NOT ACCELERATE. IT HAS JERKED INTO 2ND GEAR, FEELING LIKE THE CAR HAS BEEN REAR ENDED. EACH TIME IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. PRESENTLY, AT 45,000 MILES, IT IS GETTING ANOTHER NEW TRANSMISSION.

IN HEAD ON COLLISION, ESTIMATED SPEED ON IMPACT ROUGHLY 20-25 MPH--AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY---SHOULD IT HAVE? NOT SURE WHAT SPEED WOULD CAUE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY- IF THERE IS A DEFECT IN MY AIRBAG SYSTEM,BECAUSE IT DID NOT DEPLOY, RESUME WITH A CLASS ACTION, WHICH I WILL CHECK OFF, IF THERE IS NO RECOURSE OR REASON WHY MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, I FEEL THAT IT SHOULD HAVE, BUT ANYWAY, IF THERE IS REASON TO SUBSTANCIATE THE AIR BAG NOT GOING OFF, THE I WILL DISREGARD THE CLASS ACTION. PLEASE REPLY ASAP IF POSSIBLE. AND YES, I RECEIVED MINOR INJURY ANYWAY. THANK YOU. CAROL COYLE

WHILE BACKING INTO THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED BACKWARD INTO THE GARAGE. *AK *SC ALSO THE LEFT FRONT WINDOW WAS INOPERATIVE, THE DEALER ADJUSTED THE WINDOW TRACK. *JB

THE VEHICLE'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO T HE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED A PART. THE CONSUMER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT PART WAS REPLACED BUT NOW THE LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE CAUSE IS UNKNOWN. PLEASE PROVODE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *NM
