“I was having problems with my car wanting to stall at take offs. When I took it in for servicing I was told I would need the mass air flow sensor fixed. I found that this was a recall issue campaign # 00v259 for all 1999 elantras. My car however does not qualify for the quick fix unless I want to pay for it.

The failure and current mileages were 75,000.”
