2000 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Electrical System Problems

ENGINE STALLS AIR CONDITIONER BELT SQUEETS

ENGINE STALL , SEVERELY WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. ALSO I HAD TO PAY MIDAS $600 FOR BRAKE ROTOR JOB FRONT AND BACK

AT 65 MPH, ON THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE STALLED, ALL LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A NEARBY OFF RAMP. FIVE WEEKS LATER, THE ENGINE WILL START, AND THE ONL YLIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS THE AIR BAG LIGHT WHICH HAS NEVER GONE OFF SINCE THE STALLING EPISODE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON FOR A YEAR, WITH THE SAME MULTIPLE MISFIRE READINGS (300 AND 301). I HAVE HAD MECHANICS MAKE ALMOST EVERY POSSIBLE REPLACEMENT IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. ASPARK PLUGS AND WIRES WERE REPLACED TWICE IN A FOUR MONTH PERIOD WITH AN UNKNOWN FACTOR BURNING THEM OUT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS REPORTED ON RELIABLE INTERNET SITES, ESPECIALLY THE ENGINE STALLING WHICH IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS. THIS VEHICLE IS REPORTED TO HAVE HAD BOTH RECALL REPAIRS COMPLETED IN 2005. WITH THOUSANDS OF NEWER ELANTRA MODELS...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE EVAC VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS COULD NOT BE OPENED OR CLOSED AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,750.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED SHE HAD A RECALL REPAIR DONE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 00V259001 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, THIRTEEN YEARS PRIOR BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BUT NO CAUSE FOR FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT THE CONTACT WAS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL SPORADICALLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 00V259001 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: WIRING) BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO LOCAL REPAIR SHOPS FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING BUT NO FAILURE CODES WERE PRODUCED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER TOOK A COMPLAINT AND ADVISED TO THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY STALL WITHOUT WARNING SIMILAR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 00V259001 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING). THE CONTACT DID NOT INFORM THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 113,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

INTERMITTENTLY STALLS WHEN SLOWING. HAPPENED AT RAILROAD TRACKS. SEEMS ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING SAME PROBLEM. FOUND RECALL #00V259001 CALLED HYUNDAI. WAS TOLD RECALL WAS DONE BY PREVIOUS OWNER. HAD CAR CHECKED OUT AT SHOP. WAS SAME PART THAT WAS REPLACED BY RECALL. TOLD HYUNDAI MAYBE THE PART WENT BAD. WAS TOLD THEY ONLY FIX RECALL ITEM ONCE,I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE IT. I THINK THIS IS PRETTY DANGEROUS. HAD A COMPLETE TUNE-UP DONE TO SEE IF THIS WOULD HELP. IT DIDN'T. GUESS SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE OR FILE LAWSUITS BEFORE ANYTHING GETS DONE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 00V259001 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING). THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE REPAIR. SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER THE REPAIR WAS MADE, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND CAUSED HIM TO DECELERATE. THE VEHICLE ALSO LOST POWER STEERING ABILITY, AND EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL. THE CONTACT HAS TO PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN RESTART IT IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE FUNCTIONAL. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, THE DEALER REPEATEDLY REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORS AND POWER RELAY. SECONDLY, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED ACCORDING TO THE RECALL, THE DEALER WOULD NOT ASSUME FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND IS WAITING FOR THEIR RESPONSE. AS OF JULY 18,...

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHEN CAR HAD 20,000 MILES ON IT STARTED HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON, AND IT WAS MAKING A FUNNY SOUND AT 31,000 MILES. SHE SAID DIFFERENT LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WOULD COME ON, BUT SHE WAS NOT SURE WHICH ONES. THE CAR RAN OUT OF OIL, AND THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS NO LIGHT TO COME ON TO INDICATE THE CAR WAS LOW ON OIL. THE CAR HAD 118,000 MILES ON IT AT THAT TIME. THE CONTACT HAS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE.*AK

VEHICLE HESITATES GOING DOWN ROAD. ALSO STALLS AND CUTS OFF AT LOW SPEEDS AND AT A STOP. SOMETIMES HESITATES WHEN TRYING ACCELERATE. RECALL 00V259001 HAS BEEN DONE SEVERAL TIMES AND DOES NOT CORRECT PROBLEM. CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALER SIX TIMES FOR SAME PROBLEM AND STILL NOT FIXED. I'VE TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, DEALERSHIP MANAGER, OWNER, AND CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH NO HELP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 2 YEARS. THE FIRST WEB SIGHT I CHECKED FOR OTHER COMPLAINTS WAS MYCARSTATS.COM. I FOUND 21 COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH NO SOLUTION. *LA

BOTH MY BACK WINDOWS' WORKINGS HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE WINDOW NO LONGER WAS "TRACKED" I DO NOT HAVE KIDS AND VERY RARELY HAS ANYONE RIDDEN THE BACK SEAT. THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. THERE IS NO WAY THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED
