Hi,

I own this car for just two weeks now. These are the only two problems I have.

My radio forgets the Power-on volume setting, and comes on with the last used volume level.
Much more annoying, in two weeks twice it lost all FM station presets.

This post has a good picture of my radio model.

Anyone else have these problems? Any solutions?

Car was bought in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Thanks in advance.

I smacked a deer this morning, and the grille took the grunt of it. What options are out there besides OEM for replacement? There's a bunch on eBay but I don't like them.

2000 miles on my first brand new car and I just hit my first deer after 7 years of driving old POS cars! Woo hoo!

One of my daughters needs new wheels. Looking at the Elantra Touring. GLS Sport, I think. Seems real nice. Great looking. Good handling. Price is reasonable. Anyone here have experience with them? Thks.

Awhile back I hit a deer with my car and broke the grill. I ordered a new one from koreanautoimports.com, but they thought it would be alright to send the grill without the chrome strip across the top. Even though their pictures show it on there and I told the lady on the phone mine was cracked when I ordered, they won't budge now. Terrible customer service, but anyway.

I'm now stuck with this worthless grill unless I can somehow either repair the cracked piece or find one somewhere else. They say they can "special order" it for me but I'm not giving them any more of my money. Does anyone know of some obscure vendors that carry hard to find parts? I've searched and searched and this part does not seem to be anywhere to buy. My dealer says it's just a part of the grill and they can't even get it. It only has one crack, right in the middle. Picture attached. So maybe it's fixable?

Has anyone replaced their brake and turn signals using LEDs? I've a hard time finding ones that are as bright(preferably brighter:)) as the OEM incandescent lamps.

Right now I've already LED-ed all interior lights and I'm moving on to see what can be done for the brake lights which seem to suck up quite a lot of juice.

Those 60M-SMT at V-leds.com look like they might do the job, but they are horribly expensive and I wonder if anyone has tried them?

Also, I've some difficulty removing the cover to access the reversing lights. Is there any trick to it?

Hi all,

recently purchased the ET GL, which comes stock with 15" rims and tires. I have relatively new winter tires off of my Beetle (just sold) and want to know whether I can mount them on my ET. The problem is the tires are 16" (205 55 R16).

Admittedly I'm confused about the different bolt pattern configurations and want to ensure I purchase the right size. Apart from 16" and 5-bolt, what size should I be looking for?

Thanks,

The manual doesn't mention anything about this "feature" but I cannot stand that when I start the car and switch to AM, the volume "fades in." It doesn't happen with CD or FM radio, but only AM. Also, coming to a stop I am pretty sure the volume goes down too.
I know some GPS' have this feature but I do not want it on my factory radio.
Is there some wire I can cut to stop this annoying feature?

I've been poking around the web researching about this bulb, and it seems it is only used in KIA/Hyundai applications and is similar to a standard H11 bulb. I've also been trying to figure out how simple it is to modify the H11b bulb to get it to fit in the H11 harness, but am unable to find a definitive answer. Has anyone attempted this? Does it require a change to the bulb's connector, the elantra's harness, or both? Thanks ahead of time for your answers.

How have you made that Elantra your own by customizing it?

Dust off that camera.

Hello, I have an 09 Elantra SE. I of course got the key fobs that have the Trunk Lid Pop button. You are to hold it for like a second and the trunk pops. Has anyone else noticed that their trunk either randomly pops, or can pop from a long distance away?

Reason for asking is I live in the 2nd floor of an apt complex. This is a rather decent distance away from the parked cars, and no where near line of sight. One night, I went outside, and my trunk was popped open. Now, just last night, I was at work. I work in a large two story building, and again, am very far away from the car, and no line of sight or anything, and when I went out after work to leave, my trunk was again popped.

Now this is starting to get a little annoying. I had an 08 Elantra that was totaled in a wreck, and the trunk on that only popped when you were like 30 feet away or closer with the fob, but this one seems to either just pop for no reason, or pops from very very long distances. I keep my keys in my pocket, and can't help if a button is pressed in there. Anyone else experience this wierd issue?

I'm goin to the dealer next week for my first oil change, and will ask them, but figured I'd check for ideas on here too.

Thanks for any info.

Does a marginal test result on the new (2009/2010) Elentra 4 dr sedans mean that these cars are unsafe to drive?

1) does anyone know if there is an easy way to identify an Elantra SE? I know that for Sonatas you can just look for alloy wheels, but i'm not sure if the same applies to elantras.

2) is ESC standard on all elantra models.

3) are there any major differences in features between model years '07-'09? it's just that the prices among these years only seem to vary by a couple thousand at most, and so i'm wondering if there is any major reason to try and get a newer year vs. an '07.

4) why don't they put radio controls on the steering wheel??

EDIT:

sorry guys, seems this has been covered several times already

Hey all,
So, I am the proud owner of an 09 Touring SE, Pearl Black. I love this car! Traded my new Element (36K mile) because the mileage SUCKED.
Anyway, again, I really love this little car! And I have had more than my share of cars, both new and used. So, I notice the other day the passneger side airbag light's glowing with my son seated. He is only eleven, and weights close 100 lbs. Of course I perused the manual, (I am very anal about manuals anyway), and found that he may be a little light, as it were, nonetheless, I am certain he'd been heavy enough three weeks ago. History: Bought the car in early August to catch the tail end of summer and test the cars Title. Put 2K miles on it on a family trip up the California coast, I am from Los Angeles, with no problems whatsoever. It was, in fact, a joy to drive no matter where I was, be it winding my way through Big Sir's highway one at 40, or doing 80 on the 101, the Elantra was a dream! Now this airbag thing has me a bit uncomfortable in that all the safety features what my main attraction, second being MPG. I have read a couple of posts reflecting a simliar issue, and am curious about details.
Thanks in advance to any who can shed some light!

I have some questions about upgrading the headlights on a 2009 Elantra SE.
I have searched but have not come up with a definitive answer yet.

Anyone have any pics of their HID headlights without projectors?

Anyone have any pics of their HID headlights WITH projectors?

Does it look a little tacky without the projectors? I know that without projectors, the lights are scattered. Just trying to get an idea if projectors are absolutely needed in my case.

Thanks!

Out of the blue the other day, our 2007 Elantra started dying horribly at around 27-2800 rpms. It has absolutely no power, and the engine lugs like it just doesn't want to fire on all cylinders. If you cruise at lower rpms, it shifts fine, so we're pretty sure it's a problem with the fuel somewhere (its also throwing a code, but we don't have a diagnostics computer handy to get it).

I don't have a Chilton's for this car so I'm completely in the dark on a few things. Afaik, the fuel filter now resides inside the pump on these models; can it still be replaced seperately from replacing the whole pump? Napa doesn't list a part for just the filter, they can only find the pump, and I think this would be a pretty nasty move on the auto-makers behalf if I can't change my filters anymore without replacing the whole assembly...

Plugs are new, wires are fine, fluids have all been flushed and replaced recently, along with the air and oil filter, so it's not a basic tuneup issue at this point, so far as we can tell. Anybody ran into this? The car only has 30k miles on it.

Just a quick background, my wife's parents own a 2007 Elantra, and it just recently started throwing a code (right around 30k). My father-in-law, in the process of doing a tune-up without consulting me first! (heh) happened to overfill the transmission, and to boot with ATF-Z1 (I don't even remember them owning a Honda...).

My plan was to help him finish the tune-up and while doing so, drop the pan and just replace the fluid entirely. The problem is, nobody I've called can get me a filter/gasket for the pan. I can't even find one online. Everywhere I go that I use for my own vehicles (like rockauto.com) only lists parts for MT, not AT.

Help? I don't want them driving it right now, it's hard shifting like somebody learning to drive stick, but I can't locate the parts I need.

Fog light has burnt out on me 08 gls. What is the number? I tried looking in the manual, all they give is the wattage. I could take it out and then drive to a auto part store. But I rather have the new one before I take out the old one.

cheers Kayakman

Hello,

I just bought a new 2009 Elantra SE automatic last week, and had actually been reading these forums in my vehicle research phase.

Unfortunately now I am back with an early problem: after just one week and 350 miles, my Elantra's malfunction indicator lamp lit up on my way to work this morning. I initially thought it might be an indicator that I needed gas (I had about ~70 miles left on my range) - that shows you how much I know about cars - so on my way home today, first thing I did was fuel up, and surprise, surprise, the light did not turn off.

My questions are these:

(1) Has anyone else had this happen so soon into ownership of an Elantra?

(2) I understand based on the owner's manual and some googling that I will need to go get my car checked out by a Hyundai dealer. But I don't have any time to do this before work tomorrow, which is a ~30 mile commute. Will I be okay on the roads for a bit in this condition? Are there any precautions I can take between now and getting this issue checked out?

Thanks much.

Hi, this is a strange problem. I have a 07 Elantra SE, 39000 miles on it. I love the car & everything has been working great. I was using my cd player when i ejected the cd took it out and turned off the car, later in the day I went back in to my car and tried to put another cd in it, but this time the cd player was not grabbing the cd like it usually does. I didn't want to force it in because I'd probably never get it out. I didn't know what to do i tried it later once the car was off for awhile again with no luck, i held down the eject button and tried again with still no luck. (there is no disc in it, but still won't accept any discs) I'm not sure what to do? Anyone else had this problem? I realize my warranty is only until 36000 miles for the radio, so of course something goes wrong not long after it expires. Anyone have any ideas?

thanks!

On my '08 Elantra, the doors lock by themselves whenever I leave the car. I almost locked myself out in a gas station when I left my keys in the car but luckily the window was down. This feaure is spectacularly annoying. Is there any way to disarm this feature?

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 just purchased a Garmin nuvi 755T and am experimenting with mounting positions. Has anyone done any creative mounts for their GPS on the 07/08 Elantra? Any ideas and pictures would be appreciated.

I am new to the forum so please forgive me if this has been asked before.

I just bought a 2009 Elantra and am going through the engine break in period. My question is this; what harm if any would result from me putting gear selector in “3” and accelerating to 6000 rpm then sliding the gear selector into “D”. basically using the selector to get more dwell time in 3rd before sliding into D.

Any feedback is appreciated

Hi,
I am based in Canada and recently bought a new 2009 Hyundai Elantra GL. I looked at the factor service maintenance schedule and according to it I have to service the car every 12000 km/6 months but the dealer gave me a maintenance brochure which specifies the car needs to be specified after 6000 km/3months (whichever happens earlier). The dealer told me the maintenance brochure is specific to canada and overrides the one that came with the car.

So basically I have to get the car serviced every 3 months and was wondering whether I need to get the car serviced every 3 months or I can do it every 4-5 months since I generally drive 3-4 Ks in 3 months. Also, do i need to get all the things mentioned in service schedule or I can simply do an oil change every 3 months and go for bigger items at a later date. E.g. service no. 4 (after 12 months or 24000 Km) covers the following:

Change oil & filter, check all fluid levels, lube door
locks and hinges. Check all drive belts and battery
condition. Check and adjust tire pressure. Clean
throttle body, adjust fuel injector system and add
injector cleaner, clean and lube front and rear
brakes. Rotate tires. Road test

Now I would have only driven around 15000 Kms by that time, so should I still go for all the items or should I change the oil and opt for other items when I have driven for say 20000 Kms? If I had followed the factory schedule I would have had to do this service after 2 years (24 months).

Do let me know in case you own Hyundai in Canada and let me know what service maintenance schedule you follow. Any tips/info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I am buying a new Elantra and wondering whether to go with the dealer rustproofing (in Canada at least is Diamond-Kote) vs what many mechanics recommend -- Krown which requires a yearly application and since i tend to keep my cars -- will be more expensive.

In addition the dealer version also offers "electronic corrosion control" for +$150

Finally, is getting surface rust protection worth it? Does it cover stones, bumper nicks from parking cars etc (I know scratches aren't covered.)

Thanks in advance.

I have been looking on ebay, and a couple of Korean sites and though there are pleanty of fobs, they all appear to ship with the older type keys with the edge grooved for tumblers. Does anyone know of a flip Fob that ships with the newer lazor cut key?
I would really like to dump the key chain if at all possible...
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Everyone,

Car Noob here. Looking to find out what's the difference between an 2009 Elantra SE vs a GLS?

Nowhere on the Hyundai website can I find reference to the SE model: http://www.hyundaicanada.com/Pages/showroo...x?model=Elantra
Yet, consumerreports.org says SE is the best way to go.

Where can I find out what's included in an SE and how do I select SE as an option on the Hyudai website?

Thanks for your help!

Hi all,

I'm looking at buying a used 2008 Elantra SE, but I can't figure out how you can identify a GLS from an SE. Is there a name plate or something on the car that positively identifies it as an SE? I couldn't find one. Any help would be extremely valuable. Thanks.


TK


EDIT:

So I guess I could have browsed this forum instead of searching it. There are at least two other topics of a similar nature. They suggest checking for alloy wheels (the SE has them). See here:

http://www.hyundai-forums.com/t34543-used-...ra-es-or-no.htm

http://www.hyundai-forums.com/t38885-new-2...-fast-one33.htm

I humbly apologize to the forum gods for a duplicate post.

Recently purchased a new Elantra ( Australia ) and was disappointed to see the instrument cluster has been changed on the right side where there had previously been a fuel and temperature gauges this space has now been filled by a larger fuel gauge and no coolant temperature gauge. I note this also applies to late '09 models in the USA.
The temperature gauge has now been replaced by a warning light. On at 120 oC / 248 oF and resets at
115 oC / 239 oF.
Pondering the above possibly the loss of the coolant temperature gauge is not as bad as it seems and removes some of the problems with current gauges.
(1) No flow means no reliable reading, this would also apply for the sensor for the current light.
Some keen drivers install a low flow alarm as a back up.
(2) Many OEM coolant gauges fitted to vehicles today are designed with a dead band around mid scale / normal temperature range " to prevent drivers worrying about temperature fluctuations " My thoughts are this tends to make drivers ignore the gauge. I do not know if this is a characteristic of Hyundai gauges. This is a case where a warning light may be more likely to be noticed ?

Being old fashioned possibly but I like to see some reliable indication of engine temperature, remember the "old days" when cars had decent gauges for, oil pressure, engine temperature, fuel and an Amp meter.

Solution. For engine temperature monitoring I intend to fit an Engine Watchdog TM2 which incorporates a digital temperature read out plus an audible alarm. I do not know availability of these overseas, a "Google" search should show something. I am sure similar devices are available.
The device is fairly simple, the sensor is basically a thermistor which picks up temperature changes by changes in resistance values, this is connected to a module in the vehicle.
The sensor can be attached to the engine at any suitable point, I intend to bolt mine to the cylinder head using a vacant 8mm threaded hole just above the present sensors. This is near the water outlet from the cylinder head to the top of the radiator.

Obviously this arrangement does not give a direct reading of coolant temperature but should reflect any engine temperature changes. Once a maximum temperature is established on the digital read out the audible alarm can be set a few degrees above this.

I would appreciate any feedback from owners who have fitted a similar device, or possibly some other means of monitoring engine temperature.

I have a 07 Elantra Sedan, and wanted to change the radio for one that has Bluetooth and iPod functions. After over 8 hours at radio installation shops, I am still using the straight am/fm/cd player that came with the car. I even had Kromer Radio, recommended by my local Hyundai dealer, try for over 4 hours with no luck. They suggested the car was originally from the US where sometime they have different dash sizes.
HELP! I hate not being able to use my iPod, and no the stupid fm transmitters do not work very well in TO.

I did see someone else had a similar problem.

"I'm trying to install an aftermarket radio into my 2007 Elantra Sport and am finding it EXTREMELY difficult in locating a suitable dash kit for this project. I'm located in Canada and I've tried two Metra models already without any luck. What's the deal? I'm told it's a CAN/US thing. Has anyone else also butt heads with this problem? This doesn't make sense! Travis. "

Does anyone know if buying a trim kit from the US will help? Should I drive across the border for a trip to a radio install place there? I really want a radio to replace this one, not some add on that costs twice as much (Parrot kit)

Please please please......I want a new stereo system!

Guys, I am kind of disappointing with the car right now. Car has 43100 kms on the ODO... every 5000kms he goes to maintenance at the dealer. At service 35000 kms service I reported a clunking-clanking noise coming from the left wheel. The problem was that it happened from time to time and only after city driving for about 2 hours. Unfortunately they couldn't find anything. At 40000Kms I reported the problem one again, the issue is that from first time reported the sound was present more often, anyway they didn't find a thing. Yesterday after driving from an hour the sound was coming from both front wheels, and more often than ever. I drove to the dealer spoke to the guy in charge, and he let a technician to seat as passenger while I tried to recreate the problem. One interesting thing, the sound was heard when the car steering wheel was turned to either side, not straight; and also when the car is underload (let say climbing) and only when in first gear and starting to move.

Turns out to be that the "thing" that goes between the axle and the wheel is making that noise, I don´t know how to call that part, in Spanish it is called: "punta de flechas"... They ordered the parts, and the car will go to maintenance on monday. They said they will replace both "punta de flechas", along with the exhaust flexible pipe that is making a rattle sound.

Aside from that the A/C compressor is making a "TOC" sound when I push the A/C switch to turn it of, it does not happen every time but it is annoying when happens, the technician said that the A/C clutch is making the sound... he tried to tell me that it is a common issue and since it does not affect the functionality of the A/C system they do not replace it that easy, he also told me that I had to go to a bigger service shop to troubleshoot the problem- OF course I said: " I'm sorry buddy but, the car is under warranty, and that "common" issue is not listed or stated in the owners manual so, it must be replaced.

I am wondering whey a car relatively new is giving such kind of problems, have you had any of these issues?

Thanks guys,
Cheers
Aruek

***Edited: just to make clear, "puntas de flechas" are the CV joint, or constant velocity joint.

I have 8k on my '09 Elantra, after sitting overnight the idle is very rough at startup for about 20 seconds then is fine. No other issues and idle is normal otherwise. Car has manual trans. and starting with accessories off makes no difference. Has anyone else experienced this?

I've had my 09 Elantra GLS for two weeks now. I got curious as to accuracy of odometer and speedometer.... So, I got my trusty GPS out and tested it. The odometer is dead on accurate. After 25 miles it is off less than one tenth of a mile, I've never tested a car that is anywhere near that accurate. The speedometer is within one mile per hour in all ranges. It shows I'm going 60, when GPS shows 59. Again, very very accurate compared to other cars I've tested. I think this shows the Hyundai people to be manufacturing a car that is "spot on" even in the areas that people rarely check. I really like this car!

ok so my Elnatra is white, im going witha black and white theme. i got the windows tintied and i found somr greyish rims but i got a question if anyone has done this.... has anyone taken the headlight lense off and painted the housing black? and take the amber out of it? its been done before on the 04-08 F-150's i know its a completly different car but its been done, and also any way i can tin the tail lights as well? and de bage the car ant put a new Hyundai emblem on and get it painted black. has anyone trired any of this before?

So I have a new 2009 Elantra and I notice the engine makes a "raspy" sound when just started and going uphill. As I have not driven a 4-cylinder for many a year (I had a 6 cylinder prior), I wonder is this normal? I believe my Suzuki used to do this as well but I just wonder with the Elantra as it is brand new. It is almost like it is working really hard to get uphill or when I accelerate sometimes. Sounds like a straining sound normally one that a car would make when old.

I have heard many say the Elantra engine is noisy..is this what they mean? Other than this, drives fine so far!

For those of you less than wild about the dreadful OEM Kumho tires on Touring Sports, might be interested to know that I replaced them with Bridgestone G019's in the same size and the differences are remarkable. Car steers, handles and rides better and the tires will not flat-spot after standing for a day or two. Thoroughly happy with switch.

I have my new 08 Elantra now since 4 months and I am happy overall. I am missing the auto climate control from my previous car very much though, has anyone attempted to upgrade, is it actually possible?

Here is my question about the climate control knobs:

The setting as pictured below gets air to the front screen and to the feet, but it also seems to activate the air conditioning unit.

[attachment=13902:off.jpg]
[attachment=13903:on.jpg]

A few things are not clear with this setting:

At this setting there is no green light on the left (AC) knob
I can still depress that left (AC) know and the green light comes on
And most importantly: why would I want to activate the AC to defrost a frozen front screen in winter with a cold car?

In any other car I had before I could simply direct air flow to the front screen with whatever temperature was set at this moment. Is there something wrong with my control panel? I have been at my local dealer with this question, but they said this is functioning as intended. Strange ...

Thank you for your input and suggestions!

First off, I am not a "car guy" and have limited knowledge car parts and service.

OK. I get my (warranty approved) oil changes done at a local garage. They recently told me that a CV boot was cracking and showing a bit of grease. He said not to worry and they would check it at the next oil change when it would likely need to be replaced.

Now my question, would this be something covered under warranty?

Second, is waiting another 5000K any issue or should it be done now?


I'm driving a 2007 Elentra--still under warranty. Its got about 39000km in it.

Thanks.

Is this normal? I heard of a feature that does this in some cars, however this isn't listed in the manual, let alone a way to shut it off. I took it to the dealership and they haven't heard of this either in an Elantra. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have a roug idea of how to install them but I was wondering if anyone that has already done it could post some pictures of it and how the installed it

Hi there. I recently had to take my 2007 Elantra into my dealer's repair shop to have some hail damage repaired. When I got my car back last night, I noticed that my clock was not being displayed at all. I brought it back inside and asked the guy who was working with me on getting everything repaired, and at first he thought it might have been the dimmer, but that wasn't the case. He opened the fuse box, looked around, took out the clock fuse (which actually killed the radio and the aux power port that was charging my GPS,) reinserted it, and it did nothing for the clock. As he went in to give the Hyundai people a call, I flipped through the manual and didn't find anything of any help. I started trying a few other things to see if they worked, and discovered that my internal lights (overhead, mirrors, etc.) did not work either. The guy returned, said the Hyundai people were all gone for the day already and I could come back on Monday and he'll give them all a call and see what he can do. Which means taking off time from work and going without a clock, internal lights, and who-knows-what-else until then. And that's even if he'll be able to figure it out on Monday.

Can anyone shed some light on what might be the problem to cause my clock, internal lights, etc. to disappear and now I might be able to reactivate them?

Thank you very much.

Greetings Folks!

I'm trying to install an aftermarket radio into my 2007 Elantra Sport and am finding it EXTREMELY difficult in locating a suitable dash kit for this project. I'm located in Canada and I've tried two Metra models already without any luck. What's the deal? I'm told it's a CAN/US thing. Has anyone else also butt heads with this problem?

So I just bought my new Chili Pepper red A/T touring on Friday, and I can't be happier with the purchase.

But I kayak and bike quite often, and need to get a rack for it.

Yakima and Thule's websites and store reps are at a loss, but I've found 2 online retailers hocking a Thule solution of some 460 Platforms with a 3061 Fit Kit. Problems I have with this is that if A) Thule doesn't condone it's use on the ET, I'm not covered under any warranties, and, the 3061 Fit Kit appears to have a torx screw on it that is supposed to attach to what they are calling a "Fixed Fit Point" for the factory rack.

Looking at the shop manual, there is a "snap in" factory rack evidently available somewhere at some point in the car's history from Hyundai, but the dealer was at a loss as to how to go about getting this snap-in. It looks to tie into the little metal clip points found by pulling the mouldings out. Pulling the mouldings out per the shop manual, I saw nothing close to a "fixed fit point" where a torx screw would bolt to the frame.

Any ideas or assistance you guys care to offer on the matter? I greatly appreciate any help you have. I know the i30s had a rack available as an option, so if I need to order the dern thing from Germany, it might come down to that.

Cheers.

Hello

I just bought a new 2009 elantra gls. It came with 2 remotes, but I bought 2 more on ebay for extras. It says it has to be programmed by a dealer, but I'm not buying it. Does anyone have any instructions for this? I'd be willing to pay for the info.....(just make it less than the dealer)!!

Thanks guys

Andrew

I did a search and did not find this on here. I am looking for a diagram and instructions on how to remove the rear drivers side interior door panel. I have to order one from the dealership and I think they are probably pretty expensive. I threw an umbrella through mine and it appears that it is all one piece. It punctured where the speaker is but did not hit the speaker. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it! Thanks in advance.

I just picked up an 09 Elantra. Listening from inside the car, there is a rumbling I hear, which sounds like the catalytic-area of the exhaust sound on some GM cars. You know, that raspy rumbling. It only happens in Drive and I only hear it when accelerating at low speeds. Is this normal? Thanks.
