Howdy All! I just found this site, which is good, as I am having a problem that I need some advice about.

I was in a wreck about 6 weeks ago which demolished the left fron end of the car, and necessitated a visit to my insurance company's body shop. When I got it back a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that my parking lights no longer flash when I lock the car using the remote...

Hi, I'm considering buying an Elantra GT 5-door. My first child is due in early October, and we are looking for a cheap, reliable car which will fit a carseat in the back, and a stroller and other misc baby stuff in the rear hatch. I'd appreciate if anyone with kids can share their experience with the 5-door, especially how easy it is to load and unload a large stroller in the back....

My wife has a 2001 Elantra w/90k miles and the light, ""malfunction indicator light"" has reared its ugly head. Neither of us are trusating souls of dealerships as we have had work performed that was not required. We are constantly concerned of service departments "loading up" back-end profits with items that may not be necessary.

Enough of the speech: Has...

What exactly does a fuel filter do? I have not had mine replaced on my car and it was recommended at 52,500 miles and i am at 58,100. I finally found my owners manual and I was wondering if that could cause my car to have problems accelerating?? The check oil light keeps coming off and on. The other day I removed the oil cap and the light went off. Could that be it? Any suggestions would be...

Hi,

About 3 weeks ago my husband ® did the 60,000 mile maintenance, including flush/refill radiator. A few days later I tried a/c for the first time. It came on fine, but after a few minutes starting blowing hot air. Temperature guage is running higher than usual (over the 1/2 way mark, often up to 3/4). It used to run all the time under the 1/2 way mark. Yesterday morning I tried the a/c to...

Hi everyone. I just bought a 2005 Elantra YESTERDAY!! WooHoo! My first new car ever! Well I couldn't afford to get the CD added at the time.

Any suggestion of where else I can look for a...

Just bought an 01 elantra GLS from a friend with 58000 miles. I wish I had test driven it more, but after taking it on the highway, I realized that this car has dangerously low pickup - It doesn't seem to be shifting at the right times and the RPM's get really high. After a day or so, the check engine light came on.

At the same time, I need to get this car inspected. I...

I had my oil changed along with an alignment at Brakes Plus (got a coupon for the alignment with the new tires) this past Friday. Was told when I picked it up that I needed to have the oil pan replaced. Was also told that the plug is stripped (and the opening I suppose) but mechanic was able to temporarily seal it. I asked if this should be covered under my...

Hi all,
I own a '02' Elantra GLS w/auto transmission. My question is: Is Dextron III fluid safe for the trans or do I really have to use the Hyundai brand fluid?

Thanks,

i need to change my fuel filter in my 2001 elantra. In order to do this, i must remove the rear seat. i cant figure out how to remove it can anyone help??

Anyone know how to replace the bulbs for the tag lights on an Elantra GT 5-door? For the life of me I cannot remove the sockets to get access to the bulb. Is there a trick I am missing or do I just need to pull like crazy? Please help.

My Hyundai shakes at about 120km/h but it shakes for about 2 seconds, then stops about 2 secondes and then starts again like that. Is it wheel balancing? Or something else? I just find it strange that the shaking starts and stops like that.

I had noticed something last weekend while out for a drive with the wife. I had noticed that the accelerator response was not what it usually is. While in Drive or 3rd when I previously hit the gas, the response was quite immediate. Not that day.
The temps that day were around (27-28C)80F, a little warm here for this time of year.
Anyhow, today, it has been raining and temps are...

Some little critter decided to peck off some rubber on the rubber seal on the top part of my windshield. I think it was a crow. You can laugh now. My question is . Is it hard or expensive, and do i have to remove the winshield to replace the top seal only ? It looks bad because its right in the middle. thanks in advance.

I just purchased an '05 Elantra GT Hatchback and I love it. Only thing is I need mud flaps and calling the dealer got me a price of $90 for the four plus an hours time, probably another $80!

Does anyone know where I can get OEM or aftermarket mud flaps for that car (would another years model fit?) and would I void any warranty if I installed them myself?

these things are not working on my '03 Elantra, I have replaced the fuse that was burned out and nothing. I dont see anything else that could be a problem...the speaker wires crimped and broke in the door jam, that was the original cause. That has been fixed and just cant get it going now. Anyone help me out with my dilemna? Thanks in advance for any help!

When idling at a stop or sometimes after putting the car in Park and pulling up the emergency brake, I sometimes hear a series of noises from the rear of the car. It sounds as if someone is trapped in my trunk—ta-dump, ta-thump, da-thunk! On one hand, I can make the noise go away while by pressing harder on the brake pedal as I wait at a stop light. On the other hand, when I take my foot OFF...

Thinking of ways that might reduce the fuel consumption! Petrol too expensive already nowadays.

I need the specific step by step instructions for programming a keyless remote entry for a 2004 Hyundai Elantra. The battery was removed from it for a while and now it won't do anything. It does have a new battery now. It is just not convenient to get to the nearest dealership so any help you can provide will be appreciated.

Hello all,
My car is an automatic 2001 Hyundai Elantra GT w/ approximately 65,000 mi. The car recently, and very suddenly, started having trouble whenever I try to start it. When I turn the key, I often get a rapid clicking noise. Once the car starts, it runs fine. Furthermore, after I have gotten it to start, it starts easily if I turn the car off and try again. However, upon...

when i lock the doors the alarm dont sound.
when i pop the hood an push the panic button I can hear it but its very quiet.
How do I correct this problem with out having to take it to a dealership?

Any one out there keep getting the dam check engine light comming on every week. I own a 2002 Elantra with 43000 km. It runs great but this light is making me crazy. I have owned it for 2.5 weeks. I have 8 days left of the bumper to bumper warranty. Any simmillar experinces out there.

Greetings! I just joined the forum and thought I'd place my first post. I have a 2002 Elantra with 46900 miles on it. I use it as my daily driver (40 miles each way to work) and it has been bullet proof reliable except for the brakes. I've gone through 3 sets of pads and last night I attempted to remove my front rotors to replace them. The rotors were literally welded onto...

Anyone have a problem with the rearview mirror buzzing loudly? It happens at almost all speeds and is quite annoying. The sound comes from inside the plastic housing of the mirror. I have tried everything I can think of short of replacing it. May come to that though because it is driving me insane! default/blink.gif' ...

customer complaint was, that the engine idles too high. After a few revs in the shop, the engine started to slutter and not wanting to rev up anymore. The picture will show what wild live here in Canada can do to your car. Things like that do happen often enough.

After spending all day on various sites trying to troubleshoot this problem, I am hoping the subscribers to this forum can help me.

I put the key in the ignition (not started) and a chime alarm began going off - similar to having the door ajar. I started the car and it still kept chiming. I noted the door panel light was on, but the door was in fact closed. No other indications that...

Hello all,
I am thinking of buying a new 2005 elantra, base gls, the quote i recieved was 9,758 is that a good price?

Hi,

I recently purchase an '05 XD Elantra and from the word go, whenever the engine is idle it makes a horrible sound, very similar to what my Daewoo which has 97000km on it does when idle. It sounds like a "chicka chicka chicka chicka" with a rattle sort of in the background.

I've checked the oil and it's over full and has no obvious cloudyness. I use...

Just had 2002 Elantra serviced because check engine stayed on. Problem was wires to number 4 cylinder was failing. All new wires now. New problem is after 20 more Kilometers light came back on. Yet the engine runs great. Could it be i need new spark plugs? OR Thanks for any help,its apreciated.

my transmission will not shift into over drive, Ive been told by several people its a transaxle sensor, if so where is this sensor located?

also my AC compressor wont come on. I'll be jumping out the low pressure switch tonight to see if its low on freon, if not what else Can I check?
thanks

I'm having the same trouble where my input speed sensor went bad. Or at least that's the code that came up. I bought a new one to replace it myself. Only problem is, I can't locate it to change it out.
