2000 Hyundai Elantra Electrical system Problems

“At 65 MPH, on the highway, the engine stalled, all lights on the instrument panel came on and I was able to coast to a nearby off ramp. Five weeks later, the engine will start, and the onl ylight on the instrument panel is the air bag light which has never gone off since the stalling episode. The check engine light has come on for a year, with the same multiple misfire readings (300 and 301). I have had mechanics make almost every possible replacement in the last 12 months. Aspark plugs and wires were replaced twice in a four month period with an unknown factor burning them out. …”

“Car continues to overheat. This is the fourth time it has happened; sometime the problem can not be duplicated and I am sent on my way even though it has happen before. The cylinder heads, water pump, thermostat, sensor and many others are only a few of the things that have been replaced on this problem. …”

“I had to replace thermostat/radaitor/spark plugs/wires, and oil change in novemeber, costing $800, the following month I had to put a new engine in my car, costing $6000. My car is still in the 10year 100,000mile warranty, and the Hyundai dealership has had my car over 3months.”

“Intermittently stalls when slowing. Happened at railroad tracks. Seems alot of people having same problem. Found recall #00v259001 called Hyundai. Was told recall was done by previous owner. Had car checked out at shop. Was same part that was replaced by recall. Told Hyundai maybe the part went bad. Was told they only fix recall item once,I would have to pay to replace it. I think this is pretty dangerous. Had a complete tune-up done to see if this would help. It didn't. Guess some people have to die or file lawsuits before anything gets done.”

“Request for repair cost reimbursement. Consumer received a recall notice in late 2000 regarding engine stalling due to a malfunction of the air flow sensor. The consumer took his vehicle in for service on nov 7,2000. May of this year the consumer started experiencing intermittent stalling. After five attempts for service the manifold was replaced. The vehicle stalled that very night after the replacement (recall #00v259001 ).”
