NHTSA Complaint #10187222 — 2005 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

AFTER FINISHING DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND REMOVING KEYS FROM IGNITION THE CAR WILL DING, THE SAME DING THAT HAPPENS IF YOU LEAVE YOUR KEYS IN THE IGNITION. IF I EXIT THE VEHICLE AND TRY TO LOCK THE DOORS AND ARM THE ALARM WITH THE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY THE CAR WILL NOT LOCK OR ARM THE ALARM, IF I TRY TO MANUALY USE THE KEYS TO LOCK THE VEHICLE IT UNLOCKS THE CAR. THE ONLY WAY THAT I CAN FIX THIS IS IF I TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND THEN TURN IT OFF. THIS OCCURS TOTALY RANDOMLY AND OCCURS ABOUT ONCE EVERY MONTH. IT STARTED ABOUT 6-8 MONTHS AFTER I GOT THE CAR IN MARCH 2006. ITS NOT THAT BIG OF A HASSLE NOW EXCEPT SOMETIME I MIGHT GO TO LOCK THE CAR AND THINK IT LOCKED WHEN IT DIDN'T. I DON'T WANT THIS TO BE THE START OF A BIGGER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BECAUSE I AM ALSO HAVING THE AIRBAG ISSUE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING. *AK
