HYUNDAI IS RECALLING 160,904 MY 2001-2003 ELANTRA AND MY 2003 TIBURON VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN, AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. ROAD SALT USED DURING THE WINTER MONTHS IN THESE JURISDICTIONS MAY RESULT IN INTERNAL CORROSION AND THINNING OF THE STEEL IN THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS. THE CORROSION MAY PROGRESS TO THE POINT WHERE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM'S UPPER AND LOWER PANELS BECOME PERFORATED. A PERFORATED FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM MAY FRACTURE BETWEEN ITS BALL JOINT ATTACHMENT AND THE FORWARD AND REARWARD PIVOT ATTACHMENTS TO THE CHASSIS.
THE FRACTURING OF THE CONTROL ARM COULD AN OWNER'S CONTROL OVER THEIR VEHICLE THAT MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS FOR CORROSION DAMAGE. IF SPECIFIED LEVELS OF INTERNAL CORROSION DAMAGE ARE FOUND, THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS WILL BE REPLACED WITH NEW FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS INCORPORATING ADDITIONAL HOLES IN THE UPPER AND LOWER PANELS. IF THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS DO NOT REQUIRE REPLACEMENT, THE DEALER WILL ADD DRAINAGE HOLES TO THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND WILL TREAT THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS WITH RUST-PROOFING MATERIALS TO ARREST THE INTERNAL CORROSION PROCESS. THESE PROCEDURES WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 17, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT THE HYUNDAI CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-633-5151.

HYUNDAI IS RECALLING CERTAIN MY 2001-2002 ELANTRA VEHICLES. MOVEMENT OF THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS MOUNTED UNDER EACH FRONT SEAT, POSSIBLY CAUSED BY CONTACT FROM MATERIALS PLACED UNDER THE SEAT, MAY RESULT IN AN ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE THAT WOULD CAUSE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATION.
THIS CONDITION ONLY RELATES TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT MOUNTED SIDE IMPACT AIR BAGS AND MAY PREVENT SEAT MOUNTED SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT DURING A CRASH WHERE SUCH DEPLOYMENT SHOULD OCCUR. NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE SRS AIR BAGS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER UNDER CERTAIN CRASH CONDITIONS.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL NEW SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR CLIPS AND REVISED SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS ATTACHMENTS UNDER THE DRIVER'S AND FRONT PASSENGER'S SEATS. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2008, AND WILL BE SENT OUT IN SIX MAILINGS. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HYUNDAI AT 1-800-633-5151.

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE BRAKE TUBES FOR THE REAR BRAKES CAN CONTACT THE STEERING GEARBOX MOUNTING BRACKETS.
CONTACT BETWEEN THE REAR BRAKE TUBES AND THE STEERING GEARBOX MOUNTING BRACKETS MAY RESULT IN REAR BRAKE TUBE WEAR AND CORROSION, INCREASING THE RISK OF BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE. BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE COULD RESULT IN REDUCED BRAKING CAPABILITY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE REAR BRAKE TUBES PASS BEHIND THE FRONT SUSPENSION CROSSMEMBER. TWO STEERING GEARBOX MOUNTING BRACKETS ARE WELDED TO THE CROSSMEMBER. ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS), THE REAR BRAKE TUBES COULD CONTACT BOTH STEERING GEARBOX MOUNTING BRACKETS. ON VEHICLES THAT ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH ABS, THE REAR BRAKE TUBES MAY CONTACT ONLY THE LEFT MOUNTING BRACKET. CONTACT BETWEEN THE REAR BRAKE TUBES AND THE STEERING BRACKETS COULD CAUSE WEAR AND CORROSION THAT COULD RESULT IN BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE.
FLUID LEAKAGE COULD RESULT IN REDUCED BRAKING CAPABILITY INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REPOSITION THE REAR BRAKE TUBES SO THEY DO NOT CONTACT THE MOUNTING BRACKETS, INSTALL BRAKE TUBE CLIPS TO CONTROL THE LOCATION OF THE REAR BRAKE TUBES, AND APPLY ANTI-CORROSION MATERIAL TO THE TUBES IN THE AREAS WHERE CONTACT WITH THE MOUNTING BRACKETS MAY HAVE OCCURRED.

THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN MY 2002 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT DOES NOT WORK. THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS BECAUSE THE MODULE GOT WET DUE TO COFFEE BEING SPILLED ONTO IT. THE SENSOR SITS SOMEWHERE UNDER THE CUP HOLDER. LIQUID CAN GET INTO IT VIA THE GEAR SELECTOR. DEALER SAYS THIS IS OWNER ABUSE AND WANTS $1200 TO REPAIR. TO ME, THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT BECAUSE IT SHOULD BE EXPECTED THAT SOME LIQUID MAY SPILL FROM A CUP IN THE CUP HOLDER. EVEN IF WE REPLACE THE MODULE, SINCE IT IS NOT SEALED, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT SOMETHING WON'T SPILL ON IT IN THE FUTURE.*AK ABL.PCO

SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, I FILED A COMPLAINT ON THIS SITE 10049365. I HAVE SEEN NO RESPONSES OF ANY TYPE. NOW TO TAKE THAT COMPLAINT A STEP FURTHER. MANY OF THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE ENCOUNTERED WITH THIS HYUNDAI DEATH TRAP,AND THE UNWILLINGNESS OF HMA TO LOOK INTO THE PROBLEMS ,OR THE DEALERS TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEMS IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON THIS WEB SITE. AS I MENTIONED IN MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, I WENT THROUGH THE LEMON LAW PROCESS IN MY STATE. THEY REQUIRE ARBITRATION WITH THE BBB AUTOLINE. THE ARBITRATION WAS A JOKE AND THE HMA REPRESENTATIVE ACCUSED MY WIFE OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE AND PUT ALL OF THE CAR WOES ON HER. SHE DRIVES THE CAR FOR WORK, MOSTLY HIGHWAY. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR ACCUSED US OF HAVING A TOW HITCH ON THE CAR, WHICH IS LEGAL, BUT NOT RECOMMENDED. WELL, WE HAVE NO TRAILER OR HITCH. THE BBB AUTOLINE IS RIGGED AGAINST THE CONSUMER AND THEY SHOULD NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ANY STATE OR FEDERAL LAWS WHATSOEVER. HYUNDAIS OF THIS MODEL ARE CERTAIN DEATH TRAPS AND I FEEL THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD ORDER HMA TO REPAIR EVERYONE OF THEM NOW. THE CONSUMER IS STUCK BETWEEN A GLOBAL CONGLOMERATE AND LOCAL DEALERS WHO WILL NOT REPAIR THESE VEHICLES. *LA

FROM DAY OF PURCHASE, I NOTICED A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING, STARTING ABOUT 42 MPH. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER, WHO ROTATED AND BALANCED TIRES. VIBRATION THEN STARTED ABOUT 50 MPH, BACK TO THE DEALER ROTATED AND BALANCED TIRES AGAIN ALONG WITH ALIGNMENT. VIBRATION ABOUT 58 MPH BACK TO DEALER AGAIN, ROTATION, FORCED BALANCING, ROTOR TURNED DOWN, STILL HAD VIBRATION. FILED UNDER LEMON LAW, FINAL ATTEMPT BY SERVICE DEPARTMENT INVOLVED HMA REGIONAL CHIEF MECHANIC TROUBLE SHOOTER. HE CLAIMED THEY LOOSENED MOTOR MOUNTS AND LET ENGINE CENTER ITSELF, CHANGED TIRES, BALANCED AND ALIGNED AGAIN. AFTER A WEEK I PICKED UP CAR WHICH HE SAID WAS FINE. VIBRATION STILL NOTICEABLE. GAVE UP ON HMA AND DROVE CAR ABOUT 20,000 MORE MILES TILL VIBRATION GOT SO BAD I HAD TO GO TO A BRAKE SHOP BECAUSE IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. THEY CHANGED PADS, ADJUSTED BRAKES AND REBUILT RIGHT FRONT CALIPER. NO MORE VIBRATION. HYUNDAI WON'T PAY FOR THE REPAIR, SO FOLLOWING THRU WITH LEMON LAW AND HOPING TO GET OUT OF THIS DEATH TRAP. AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON SOME DAYS, AND STAYS ON ALL DAY, SOME DAYS IT'S NOT ON. DO THE AIR BAGS WORK. ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH PAINT FINISH, DOOR SEALS AND SEAT BELT RETRACTORS. REAL PIECE OF JUNK AND I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANY ONE. ALSO HAD TO HAVE BRAKE DUST REMOVED FROM REAR BRAKES AT ABOUT 7000 MILES AND THE DEALER CHARGED ME 60.00$ EXCESSIVE DUST ACCUMULATION IS A DESIGN DEFECT AND AT THE LEAST SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY HYUNDAI. *LA ABL.PCO
