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 reporting the intermittent engine stalling, hyundai should be required to thoroughly investigate and issue a recall. Note: I am unable to check the fuel/propulsion system in the list above. Perhaps only three items can be checked, I believe the problem with elantras is also tied to this system.

My wife purchased a 2000 hyundai elantra VIN#[xxx] from brown hyundai of toledo oh. On 4/18/05 she brought the car to brown hyundai at 63,000 miles due to a notice about possible for cracks forming in the exhaust manifold, specifically tsb 05-01-001. No replacement was made at that time. Recently, I noticed an existing crack in the exhaust manifold and performed some research on the internet about the problem. I am sure you are aware how common of a problem this has been as there are numerous complaints on various automotive forums, the federal safety agency, and various states' department of consumer protection. I had the vehicle recently (10/08/12) inspected at voss hyundai of centerville oh who has confirmed the existing crack. At 125,000 miles the car is passed its powertrain warranty. Simply because it was not visibly evident in 2005 does not mean the manifold was up to hyundai's quality standards. Exhaust manifolds are cast iron or steel and are not a moving part subject to friction. Therefore, I cannot accept that this current problem is the result of standard or expected wear-and-tear but caused by a pre-existing defect that has surfaced over time.

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 hyundai elantra. The contact's vehicle was repaired according to the federal safety agency 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, 2008, the contact has not received any assistance. The failure mileage was 10,000 and current mileage was 108,000.

I thought my muffler had a hole in it so I took to a shop and they told me there was nothing wrong with my muffler. To another shop and told I have a cracked manifold. I think it's absurd that a 2000 model car could go through 2 manilfolds in 7 1/2 years. Was at the dealership on 10/09/03 reporting the exhaust system was noisy. Was told it was not muffler but was a cracked manifold. Luckily it was repaired under warranty. That was less than 5 years ago. Sounds like a big problem to me. I can understand one manifold getting cracked...but two in less than 4 1/2 years. This car is driven less than six miles round trip to work a day. It's not like I'm out tearing up the town all the time in the car.
