I'm trying to make sure my insurance company is giving me proper credit for the type alarm the 2008 Elantra has. Here are the definitions they gave me.
When it comes to anti-theft we only have 3 options available. There is alarm only, passive disabling device & active disabling device.



From Safeco’s site:

Active Disabling Device - the vehicle is...

Just bought an 2008 Elantra GLS. My wife bought a 2008 Elantra SE, that will be delivered this week. Do these cars have an Anti-theft alarm system? (not just a panic alarm button on the remote) On my GLS there is no flashing red light that indicates an armed system. I tried arming the system useing the remote while I was in the car with the doors closed, then opened the doors to see if the alarm...

I called the nearest Hyundai dealer today, and was told a programmed remote for our 2007 Elantra was $160.00. This seems a bit pricey, and have found new remotes for the 07 Elantra on Ebay for $20.

My question is this: since the remotes have to be programmed by the dealer, is there any way I could buy a remote start/keyless entry package from Best Buy? My guess is they...

I own a 2008 Elantra, which I purchased six weeks ago. It was towed to the dealer for the second time in two weeks today. The problem is that it randomly loses power until even with the accelerator all the way to the floor, it will only go about 20 miles per hour. Then it just cuts off. Then, when I try to restart it, it will start, run, and idle roughly, and cut off. After it sits for an...

I just bought my 08 elantra 3 weeks ago and have been having the same problem at every fill up. The first time I stopped for gas was right after I purchased the vehicle. The dealer was with me because they were paying for the first fill up. The auto-stop on the pump engaged once the tank was full, however the gas came gushing out moments later. At first I thought it was just the particular gas...

Why some Elantras turn on the signal lights at the same time as the pilot(day lights) lights?. I've seen some of them doing that, but mine is not doing it. I'm wondering the there is any modificatión or something like that. When the signal lights are on makes the car look bigger and better. I would love to have this mod in my car, anyone can help me with this?

Do you all clear your MPG after every fillup?

I was wondering if anyone knew the location of a VSS wire on the 2007 Elantra, I found at website called rosta.com that gives the locations of the VSS wires on a ton of cars, but not the 2007 Elantra... I'm installing a nav system soon, I will post pictures but I need to know where that wire is in order to complete the install... thanks a lot!

Because existing sources of auto reliability information left much to be desired, in late 2005 I started conducting my own reliability research at . TrueDelta reports absolute stats like "trips to the shop" that make the differences between cars much clearer. Results are updated four times a year, so any significant changes in a model's reliability become apparent quickly.

Hi everybody,
I was hoping someone may have insight on a problem I just encountered with my 2008 Elantra GLS. I bought it almost 4 weeks ago with 4700 miles - it was being used as a loaner so I got a discount on it. It had a minor scratch and dent on it that the dealership agreed to pay for so I brought it in last Thursday to get that work done. I got my car back yesterday afternoon and now...

Hey I'm a new owner default/460.gif' '460.gif' />

Got a 08 Elantra GLS - automatic trans with sirius radio and AC package in sand color.
Paid 14400 + 300 for shock sensor upgrade. So about 14700 + tax. Also free lifetime tires included.

I think I got a great...

I noticed pinging upon load/acceleration from my 2007 Elantra at approx. 3000 miles. As per the owner's manual, I use 87 octane regular unleaded fuel. I took to the dealer and they could not replicate the problem. Dealer still performed tests and everything appeared ok. There is a comment on the work order that a trace ping is normal. Quite honestly, I’ve never heard of a trace ping. I...

My wife and I recently purchased a used (15,000 miles) Elantra. If I understand correctly, the alarm is activated after you get out and use the key fob to lock the doors. Every day when my wife is at work, the alarm goes off repeatedly. Today we locked it and went into a store for about ten minutes, and when we came out it was going off. Any ideas why it is going off so frequently? Is there...

Good afternoon, all.

I have a 2008 Elantra GLS with the stock stereo system - CD/AUX/XM. I'm not sure if this is a normal feature with the radio, but I've found that the volume levels of the radio will increase when the engine RPM or speed of the vehicle increases. When I slow down, the volume goes back to whatever is the original setting. At first, I thought it was a...

Ok...question...what the heck is the middle for???

Driving by my local dealer last week and I see a sign on a new Elantra that states "38 MPG" in big letters. I emailed the dealer and they said it's the "national average," and that most drivers can expect to get 27 city/39 highway MPG. I'm not sure where this data comes from.

I'd say it would be hard to achieve 12% over the EPA 34 highway MPG for any...

Is it ok to leave an auxiliary plug (3.5mm) plugged into the auxiliary jack on the console when the car is off? I take my iPod with me because I do not want to leave it in the car, but I just wanted to confirm that I am not draining the battery if left in. Thanks.

Is there a list anywhere of good places to buy aftermarket parts/bling online. If not and you know a good place or two a link would be appreciated!

Thanx,

Trying to cut thru all the dealer hype. What did you pay for your 4G Elantra?
Just give the trim level, options and actual price. Don't include trade-in as thats a seperate deal.

I haven't seen one on the lot with it installed. I think it's normally installed before it gets shipped to the dealer and is then the "factory" window sticker reflects the bluetooth option. The invoice price is about $292 when installed before the dealer gets it.
The dealer may or may not be able to install it at their site (probably for a higher price).
I see...

Hello all I drive a 2001 Saturn SL1 and the car has been super reliable over the 70,000 miles that were put on it (too bad the Astra is too expensive or i would jump on it for my new car default/tongue.gif' 'tongue.gif' /> ). I'm heading off to college soon and am looking for a good commuter...

I apologize because I posted this same message on the older Elantra forum...I'm putting it here because I have a 2008 Elantra.

When I bought my 2008 Elantra SE the dealership sold me an after market alarm called the Silencer. They did not tell me about the alarm that came with the car and implied there was no alarm system on the car. OK, my fault for not doing my homework better.

I JUST HAD AN ACCIDENT JUNE 1 AND MY CAR IS A POSSIBLE TOTAL LOSS. I CURRENTLY DRIVE A 2005 TOYOTA MATRIX AND I LOVE MY CAR BUT I WENT TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND TEST DROVE A 2008 ELANTRA, I WAS VERY IMPRESSED. FOR THE PRICE YOU CAN NOT BEAT IT AND IT HAS ALL THE SAFTY FEATURES PLUS IT IS NOT A BAD LOOKING CAR. I WAS WONDERING IF SOME CURRENT OWNERS CAN GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK ON MAINTENANCE AND...

I was looking at my 07 GLS dash the other day and the sun was shinning on it, I noticed a couple extra lights that never light up, even when I turn the key to start without starting it. All the other lights turn on like normal except these three.... One says 120 km/h, the other is like a spring with two loops turned on it's side, and the forth looks like a rectangle with the bottom half...

Hi, i smashed my mirror on my 07 elantra, could anyone tell me a good place to get one? for cheap? just the mirror i broke like the actual glass other than that the mirror is intact


thanks for all the help

A lot of times, when I'm coing up on a stop sign/red light, I will shift the automatic transmission in my 2007 Elantra GLS into neutral to take advantage of the 250-300rpm drop in idle as I cruise to a stop. I'll also shift into neutral if I'm on a residential road with no traffic; just get up to about 5 over the speed limit and shift into neutral to cruise along. The Elantra makes the...

I was reading the sevice interval manual that came with my 08 Elantra and saw that the oil did not need to be changed for the first 7500 miles. Do Hyundai's require 7500 miles for the engine to break in or can I do what normaly do with a new car which is drive it easy for the first 1000 miles and then change the oil. After that drive the wheels off it and change the oil every 3000 miles.

Just wanted to share this teaser pic of the sister ship to the Elantra, the next-gen Kia Spectra (or Forte).

Hey Guys,
Just bought my new Hyundai Elantra GLS yesterday, drives smooth, love it. My Elantra has a Aux input jack for a IPOD. Can someone give more information on where to buy this input jack?


Thanks!

Hi all! I just got my new Elantra SE and I have a couple of questions to ask:

1. Where are the rear HVAC vents located? I have seen literature that says it has them, but I can't seem to find out where they are.

2. Has anyone found where you can purchase a Digital Auto A/C control?

Thanks for all the help and I look forward to talking to all of you.

2007 Elantra GLS A/T (DOM 11/06)

OK, so new speedometer issue. I was driving to Atlanta this morning on I-85, and I had the cruise set at 80 mph. All of a sudden, the speedometer needle starts bouncing crazily and the cruise disengages. I'm able to continue driving (use the tach to guesstimate my speed) and the speedometer eventually returns to normal (after a period of about 20...

A few weeks ago I started to hear an odd noise coming from right in front of me, just under the hood when I'm driving. It sounded like a far-away helicopter. My husband couldn't hear it and thought I was just being picky about my new car. So I ignored it as best I could, But since then it has gotten louder and louder to the point it is actually quite annoying and I'm about to take it...

Does everyone have Speed sensing auto door locks with their Elantra? I noticed mine don't seem to lock automatically. On the website it says it is a dealer enabled. Why would the dealer need to enable them and they wouldn't be enabled from the factory?

I plan on installing a Pioneer avic-n4 navigation system into my 07 Elantra, does anyone know how to get the old one out and also how to get the center console off?? Another thing, does anyone know the location of the speed sensor wire that i need to tap into for my nav system?? Thanks, I will post pictures of the install here when I do it.

Yes, I'm going insane with the car being slow. The days are warming up and so are the nights, so I really want to throw around the idea of a Turbo.

For me, you can't beat a the feeling you get when the boost from the turbo throws you back and the noise of the blow off valve. Thing is, I want this car to be silent. I'm plan on re-cycle the blow off to make it as silent as...

Does anyone know if they are making any type of aftermarket headlights for the 2008 Elantra? I have a small crack in mine and did not want to go back to OEM.

Thanks!!!

Got pricing on the SE and GLS (GLS with pep 02).
$1,461 more for the SE.
Think it's worth the extra for the SE?

Thanks

I have a 2008 Elantra with 2,000 miles and was wondering if anyone is experiencing this same issue. I notice a vibration in the floorboard on the driver's side when stopped and in gear (like being at a stoplight). You can actually feel the engine. It feels weird like the car has a rough idle. Is this normal? I just don't remember feeling this before. Thanks.

Does the Elantra 08 have body side moldings?
Thanks

Saw another post, doesn't come with moldings.

Hi guys, I have to say that this forum has very good information, I really like it.

Well, I had a Nissan 200SX 1.8 Turbo (S13), and with the car I had a "Field Service Manual"... it was like a shop manual, it tear a part every single screw from spark plugs to A/C Control unit...

My question is: does anyone knows where can I download this manual for the Elantra...

I have a 08 SE.

I could have sworn I had seen the middle section between the two map lights light up before, but now it does not. Both map lights work, the dome light works. Does that center piece light up? or was I seeing stuff?


Thanks
Rob

I just ordered an HID upgrade(h11). Has anyone done this on a 4g Elantra? I was wondering if I need to open the lens and remove the cup that covers the bulb.

I am a first time Hyundai owner (08 Elantra GLS). Is there a way to make the cig lighter or power outlet stay powered when the ignition is off? I like to let my cell phone charge overnight and every other car I have owned keeps the cig lighter powered with the ignition off.

Hi there,

ok another thing I notice. Reading the manual it says that the seatbelt warning should flash six seconds or six times when the key switch is in ON and the seatbelt is not engaged and if the switch is ON and the seatbelt is released it should flash and bip to warn you that the seatbelt is not engaged...
in my car it will ONLY flash when I switch to ON and it does not...

My 2008 Elantra GLS, like my 2000 Elantra GLS has a horn that sounds like a dying cow. I changed out the horn on my 2000 model with few problems. How do I access the horn (in front of the radiator) to change it out? Also, are there any particular problems with wiring in a new, generic dual tone horn?

Hi guys, first own topic in this forum. Very helpful topics! I've search the existing topics and I can't find anyone related to this problems, so here it goes

OK, my car has almost 20K Kms in the ODO... since the 5K Kms I've been notice a single "tock" sound coming from the driver windows when it is going up, and only happens when you go from completely open...

Does anybody know if an outside temp gauge comes with the 2007 Elantra? Is it part of the trip computer or not an option at all?

One day I was fiddling with the temp controls on my 08 Elantra Sport and ever since then, every time I turn my car on, my AC automatically turns on.

It drives me nuts! Anyone know how to de-program this? default/' '' />

Thanks!

I was just at my dealer for an oil change and noticed the new '07 lists MPG as 28/34. I find that hard to believe. It's well documented how easy it is for automakers to game EPA tests (i.e., Honda Odyssey EX's famous false rating of 24/30 which actually is 17/20). Can anyone who owns an '07 confirm the actual MPG?

Hi, I just purchased a 2008 Hyundai Elantra GLS last month and have a question regarding the engine/transmission. I previously had a Ford Taurus SE with a little over 200 hp so driving the Elantra takes some getting used to. My question is, when I am coming to a stoplight or rolling slowly in traffic, it feels like the car is going to stall when I finally stop. It never does and the RPM's...
