2001 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GLS -- ONE MONTH AGO (JANUARY 2007) THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD COMMENCED SLOWLY, DIMLY APPEARING THEN SLOWLY FADING OUT IN ONE CONTINUOUS CYCLE OF SEVERAL SECONDS.

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE DUE TO AN INTERNAL FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE A/T ASSEMBLY AND FLUSHED THE A/T FLUID. THE LEFT SUNVISOR WAS COMING APART. THE VISOR CLIPS BROKE AND AS A RESULT THEY COULD NOT HOLD THE VISOR IN A STABLE POSITION. SEAT BELT BOLT COVER BROKE. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK WAS HARD FOR THE PASSENGER TO UNLOCK FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE DOOR LATCH AND ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY. THE VEHICLE'S HEATER TOOK ABOUT AN HOUR TO EFFECTIVELY WARM THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE BLEND DOOR WAS LOOSE...
