| 1999 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER | AT 2,235 MILES I WAS EXPERIENCING A HARSH 2 TO 3 UPSHIFT AND ALOT OF CHUGGING NOISE. A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED. THE AT 5.630 MILES I HAD A LEAK IN THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. BOTH ITEMS ARE BEING REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY BUT IT IS VERY INCONVENIENT AND FRUSTRATING TO HAVE A NEW CAR HAVE THESE "SERIOUS" PROBLEMS. |
| 2007 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | ON JULY 13, 2009 I LEFT MY 2007 ELANTRA ON TO RUN IN SOMEWHERE, WHEN I CAME BACK TO MY CAR IT HAD DIED. I THOUGHT THAT I HAD JUST TURNED THE KEY OFF BEFORE I GOT OUT OF MY CAR WITHOUT THINKING AND DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT. I CONTINUED DRIVING FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS WITH NO PROBLEMS. WHEN I WAS LEAVING WORK I TURNED MY CAR ON AND IT DIED SO I TURNED IT OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS AND BACK ON PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT INTO THE STREET AND IT DIED AGAIN. I TURNED IT OFF AND ON AGAIN AND IT WAS FINE. THE NEXT DAY I HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL I WAS ON MY LUNCH BREAK. I WAS DRIVING BACK TO WORK AND WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND MY CAR DIED AGAIN, I TURNED IF OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN AND IT IMMEDIATELY DIED SO I TURNED IT OFF AND ON AGAIN AND THEN IT WAS FINE. THE NEXT DAY (JULY 15, 2009) I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. AFTER 2 DAYS IN THE SHOP THEY CALLED AND SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND HAD NO IDEA WHY IT WAS DYING. SO I PICKED IT UP YESTERDAY AND SO FAR HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM BUT I AM WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING MY CAR NOW. I WAS LUCKY THAT IT WAS ONLY DYING WHEN I WAS IDLING BUT WHO KNOWS NEXT TIME IT COULD DIE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60 MPH! *TR |
