2008 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Engine And Engine Coolingengine Problems

THE CAR STALLED 6/21/11 AT 7PM ON THE FREEWAY IN 10-20 MILE AN HOUR STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE TEMP OUTSIDE WAS MILD, I HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR 20 MIN BEFORE HITTING TRAFFIC, AND BOTH AIR CONDITIONING AND RADIO WERE ON. I WAS IN TRAFFIC APPROX. 10 MIN. I WENT TO TAP THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING WAS THERE. I HAD TO GET OUT (ON FREEWAY) AND PUSH THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND ONTO CENTER DIVIDE (NO CALL BOXES). TWO STRANGERS STOPPED AND HELPED ME TO SIDE OF ROAD. AFTER 5 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO START CAR AND DRIVE HOME. THE CAR STALLED AGAIN ON 7/29/11 IN 10-20 MPH STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AT 5PM.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE THROTTLE SENSOR STICKS AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE ACCELERATING WITHOUT PRESSURE BEING APPLIED TO THE PEDAL. THE CONTACT HAS TO APPLY EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE THROTTLE SENSOR WAS FAILING. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WILL CALL THE DEALER FOR A REPORT ON THE FAILURE, AND GIVE THE CONTACT A CALL BACK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 17,400.

PURCHASED BRAND NEW 2008 HYUNDAI ELANTRA JUNE 5, 2008. SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR IT BROKE DOWN WITHIN 30 DAYS WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND THE ENGINE LOSING POWER. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE OXYGEN SENSOR AND PART OF THE EXHAUST BECAUSE THE SENSOR WAS SEIZED UP INSIDE IT. WITHIN 2 DAYS OF GETTING THE CAR BACK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THE CAR LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE WAS ROUGH. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND DURING A LEFT HAND TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY, THE ENGINE REGAINED POWER AND I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP NOW PLANS TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. HOWEVER, IT IS ON BACKORDER AND WE WILL PROBABLY BE WITHOUT THE CAR A TOTAL OF AT LEAST 30 DAYS OR MORE DUE TO THESE REPAIRS. WE HAVE CONTACTED AN ATTORNEY BECAUSE WE NO LONGER...
