Hyundai Elantra power windows problems

Filed Jul 21, 2024 · Electrical, Visibility · FL

Just driving down the road and the drivers side front window fell down. I tried to push the switch for to make it go lback up because it was windy and rainy. It just made the window drop down more. I was wondering if anyone else has had this complaint . It’s pulled back up and taped but it won’t go back up and tape keeps coming loose. It’s expensive to fix . I also fixed my trunk latch which was on a recall because when I called the dealer at that time there was no recall on it. I was stuck at Walmart and it wouldn’t close. The dealer wanted over 700 to fix trunk latch so I bought the part to fix it but I am checking to see if anyone else has complained on the window motor .

The front power window motors on both the driver and passenger have both failed twice. This leaves the widow in the down position until it can be repaired which caused a safety hazard.

Both of my front power window regulators broke while driving with my children in the car. When they broke I was rolling the window down in June, nothing else.The jazzers is that there was a loud metallic sounding bang, similar to something like a brick or a rock hitting the car, which was enough to make me and my children scream and I of course reacted by squinting or shielding and almost crashed into the person in front of me in traffic the 2nd time, the first one was the drivers side and I was on a parkway in May (one month after the car turned 5 years old) Thank goodness I didn’t but this is a huge hazard that could of resulted in someone getting hurt. I know there are many of these issues and because my car is 6 years old and under 100,000 miles (only 62,000) it doesn’t qualify for warranty coverage. I can’t roll my windows down and I have one window taped up temporarily until I can afford to fix it.

The front windows stopped working first then the driver's side doors stopped locking consistently using a remote and finally the alarm would go off daily when the car was not on. Direct sunlight was a factor for the alarm as the problem seemed to not happen on rainy cloudy days. There was no way to disable the alarm. Took to the dealer in annapolis md and they had to replace all electrics in the doors, the hood sensor switch, and the key ignition before the problem stopped. This was over a 2 year period and was fixed in summer of 2020.

All four windows stopped functioning at once. Researched this problem and it is extremely common. This is a major safety problem in case windows are needed to escape from vehicle due to accident. The temperature of vehicle can also exceed safe degree due to windows not opening. No warning was given before all windows ceased to function. Started vehicle and windows would not work from any control. Had to take mother to doctor for heat exhaustion from excessive temperatures building up in car.

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.
