Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
Engine stall , severely while driving on highway. Also I had to pay midas $600 for brake rotor job front and back
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.

Intermittently stalls when slowing. Happened at railroad tracks. Seems alot of people having same problem. Found recall #00v259001 called hyundai. Was told recall was done by previous owner. Had car checked out at shop. Was same part that was replaced by recall. Told hyundai maybe the part went bad. Was told they only fix recall item once,I would have to pay to replace it. I think this is pretty dangerous. Had a complete tune-up done to see if this would help. It didn't. Guess some people have to die or file lawsuits before anything gets done.
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.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 10 MPH in a parking lot, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle restarted and was driven to the dealer who determined the ignition wire was arching, causing the engine to misfire and stall. The ignition wire was replaced.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 15 MPH, the engine hesitated, then stalled. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop who determined that the problem was with the mass air flow sensor which would need to be replaced. However, the replacement parts needed to be ordered. The manufacturer was contacted who determined there was a recall # 00v259001 regarding electrical system:wiring but the vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN.
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle had recall work (00v259001) performed which caused electrical problems and intermittent stalls. The recall work was performed at about 60000 miles and the problems started at about 76000 miles.
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle stalled upon initial acceleration intermittently. The problem seemed to be more noticeable when the fuel tank was close to empty, but there were no other warning indicators. The vehicle was taken to a local repair shop where the problem could not be duplicated. There is a recall the federal safety agency campaign 00v259001, concerning the wiring harness, however the VIN was not included.
My elantra experiences intermittent low speed (engine stalling) almost got into a crash because of the problem. I called the dealer to check it out and they said bring it in and they will fix it, there was a recall on it. They said they will re route the maf senor connector wiring harness,they did, I still am having the same problem. Was check out 3 other times even put on a diagnostics (the engine light stays on ) the shop could not fine anything wrong, no codes came up, but still having the stalling and cutting off at low speed. 3 months after I bought the car it was stalling, im scared to drive it most of the time in fear of getting into a wreck.
