Consumer Description

A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING MY BRAND NEW 2008 HYUNDAI ELANTRA MY CAR CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND FAILED TO START. I LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO EVENTUALLY GET IT STARTED IN LIEU OF WAITING A HOUR IN THE HEAT AT RUSH HOUR FOR THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THE CAR SPUTTERED TO THE DEALESHIP WHERE I GOT A LOANER. I WAS CALLED TODAY AND TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. I THEN DECIDED TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE BECAUSE A BRAND NEW CAR SHOULD NOT BE SHUTTING DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING FROM HYUNDAI ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE. AFTER READING THIS WEBSITE( HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F14FFD5) I REALIZED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FACING NEW ELANTRA OWNERS THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED! *TR
