1999 Hyundai Elantra Electrical system Problems

“My vehicle has been stalling for more than a year. The mass airflow sensor read as bad and I have replaced it twice. I just found out that there was a recall sep 11, 2000.

I feel this campaign should be expanded further to cover all of these models with the same problem.”

“(1) on december 20,2004, the first cold day of the year, my 1999 Elantra would not start. (2) the next day, december 21, 2004, the car started, but as I would come to a stop at a traffic light, the engine would begin to shake violently and the car would stall out. This also occurred while traveling at speeds under 20 MPH. (3) I drove directly to my Hyundai dealership which assessed the car and told me the mass airflow sensor had gone bad and needed to be replaced, which was not covered under my warranty. The part was replaced that afternoon at 275.00 plus labor= 391.00. …”
