Consumer Description

PERIODICALLY (INCLUDING TODAY) MY ELANTRA WILL NOT START. ALL ELECTRONICS TURN ON AND THE BATTERY, ENGINE, OIL INDICATORS APPEAR ON THE DASH. AS MANY OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED I WAIT 5-10 MINUTES AND TRY MY CAR AGAIN IT WILL WORK JUST FINE. HAD A FEW DIAGNOSTICS WHERE THE DEALER SUSPECTED BATTERY OR OIL CHANGE BUT I'VE HAD SEVERAL BATTERIES SINCE OEM AND KEEP UP TO DATE ON SYNTHETIC OIL. SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING RANGE SHIFT BEING THE CULPRIT. EITHER WAY I'LL BE TAKING IT TO BE INSPECTED BEFORE IT GETS ANY WORSE/WILL NOT START AT ALL.
