2005 Hyundai Elantra Electrical system Problems

“When I arrived home that night I thought I had left my lights on because my brake lights remained on. I checked my light switch and all my lights were off except for my brake lights. I looked up on the internet to see if there was any way to fix it and I found the recall on this particular item.”

“My car stalls. This first started happening while at a stop light, my car would stall but would start right up. Now it is happening when I turn into parking lots or making a turn onto another street. My car stalls, I put it in park and it starts back up again. The most frightening time was a few weeks ago when I was driving down a busy street about 40-45 MPH and my car just suddenly stalled. I was very scared that someone would rear-end me. The problem is it happens intermediately. The mechanics can't find the problem because they can't get it to replicate the problem. …”

“I bought it from Hyundai dealer on dec 16, 2009 which only had 31000 miles then. It stalled three times within one week just one week after I brought. One stalling happened when backing up and one time happened when coming to a stop and one time when leaving a stop. I brought it to dealer on december 31,2009. Their report indicated that they found a code for random miss fire and they replace spark plug wires. Things temporarily went well after that. Then the car totally died on one morning, around feb 10,2010. Then the car was towed to dealer service and dealer changed the battery. …”

“Battery charge keeps draining in a 2005 Hyundai Elantra, have replaced the battery 3x, alternator works well but if the car sits without starting for longer than 24 hrs it will drain the battery, the battery has not been frozen and holds a charge when tested independently, vehicle is used only for paved driving, and we do not use salt on the roads here during the winter, all other electrical systems have tested fine but I cannot afford to bring the car in to a shop for a full diagnostic at this time, this issue began back in october 08 with no warning and has continued through the winter and…”

“After finishing driving the vehicle and removing keys from ignition the car will ding, the same ding that happens if you leave your keys in the ignition. If I exit the vehicle and try to lock the doors and arm the alarm with the remote keyless entry the car will not lock or arm the alarm, if I try to manualy use the keys to lock the vehicle it unlocks the car. The only way that I can fix this is if I turn the car back on and then turn it off. This occurs totaly randomly and occurs about once every month. It started about 6-8 months after I got the car in march 2006. …”
