2000 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Engine And Engine Coolingengine Problems

I HAVE HAD AN INTERMITTENT LOW-SPEED STALLING PROBLEM WITH MY 2000 HYUNDAI ELANTRA FOR A LONG TIME. FINALLY I RECENTLY HAD A TECHNICIAN DRIVE THE CAR FOR A WEEK, AND HE WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE CONDITION AND THE DEALER SUGGESTED REPLACING THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AND THEN AFTER GIVING THEM THE OK ON DOING IT, THEY INSTALLED THE PART, ONLY TO TELL ME LATER TO DO A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR (OVER 1,700 DOLLARS FOR REPLACING THE WIRING HARNESS). HAVING PAID FOR THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, I BEGAN DRIVING THE CAR AGAIN. I NOT ONLY NOTICED NO IMPROVEMENT AT ALL IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CAR, THE PERFORMANCE WAS ACTUALLY WORSE. I TRIED TO GET THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO STAND BY THEIR REPAIR, BUT THEY WOULDN'T. IN "RECALLS" ON MY COMPUTER I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A STALLING PROBLEM FOR ALL MODELS OF 2000 HYUNDAI ELANTRAS IDENTICAL TO THE...

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

2000 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GSL. CAR STALLED @ 30MPH. PULLED OVER TO THE NEARES SHOP. PROBLEM NARROWED DOWN TO A FAULT Y SPARK PLUG WIRE.

THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN. DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM . *AK THE DEALER HAS DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AND CRANK SENSOR. EACH TIME THE PROBLEM RECURRED SHORTLY AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE 2002. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE WIRING WHICH WAS COMPLETED BUT THE CONSUMER WONDERS IF THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE STALLING. THE VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER ON 6/28/04 BECAUSE IT CONTINUES TO STALL. *NM
