Three window regulators on my 2000 hyundai elantra are not working and I am unable to roll them up and down. The rear passenger side window slides down when I am driving. Approximately a year ago. I had the drivers side regulator replaced and it's broke again. They don't seem to last. In order for me to put the windows up I have to hold the switch and the window. I have hurt my hands countless times already..it hurts alot!! Please help me concerning the window regulators on these cars. Each window cost alot to fix and I have 3 broken now. After researching the web, ii have found many people have experienced the same problems that I am experiencing regarding the windows and I am hoping for a recall because it is a major problem. I hope you can help and am looking forward to your response concerning this matter. Thank you in advance.

No events lead to failure, it is just happening while parked, driving down the road. It has failed in all 4 window of the car. The first window was under warranty and the window regulator was placed. The remaining 3 windows are still broken until $1000.00 is available for repair.

I bought this car new for my daughter and she first had trouble with the window regulators within the first year of owning the car. The regulators have been replaced in all 4 windows and needs replaced in three windows now (all happened within days of each other). Windows will not roll up or down nor will they stay up.

I am 87 years old and bought a 2000 elantra brand new in 1999. I have only put 25,000 miles on this car in 7 years and the only time I have opened the rear windows was when I hit the wrong button by mistake. Well recently my son drove the car and opened the rear windows - both of them failed in one week. When we took it to the dealership they wanted to charge $69 per window just to diagnose the problem. My son said that they have to know what the problem is cause we can't have the only elantra that had this problem and since there was virtually no use of the windows it had to be a faulty design or motor. The service man swore up and down they were not aware of any recurring problem with the back windows. They called me and said it would cost $375 per window to replace the window regulators. That is a total of $750 for both windows. I feel I have been deceived and lied to after finding this website with the number of window problems reported and no one in my family will ever recommend or buy another hyundai product from a dealership.

Windows regulators failing - so far this has happened three times on this car, twice on the front drivers side - once under warranty and once at my expense. The rear window comes down at will and we are going to have to glue it up.

During the past 18 months, all four windows in my 2000 hyundai elantra has had the window regulator go bad and required replacement. These windows were engineered to fail. The total cost to replace them was near $1500. Because of the failure, the rear window rolled down during a rainstorm here in florida. My reaction nearly caused an accident.
