Hyundai Elantra

"Battery posts and battery needed replacing as car wouldnt start."

"The exterior lights go out often. We have brought it to the dealer and a mechanic and they do not know why, but out lights only last about 2 years"

"The driver's control of the passenger window could lower the window but could not return the window to the closed position."

"Central electronic LCD display in instrument cluster is dim/hard to read in daylight and almost impossible to see in direct sunlight. It displays odometer/gear position and other driver/trip data. Started working on this in April, but this was a lingering issue for several years. It started as varying display intensity, it would vary from almost unreadable to near full intensity or it would flicker, but eventually became dim and stayed that way. I tried to see what I could do myself at first as I have a technical background. Had no success and started working with a cluster repair facility. Eventually they replaced 12 blue backlight LEDs which restored full brightness. But then another problem developed, some LCD segments of the gear position readout were not working and some other parts of the display were missing as well. Several trips back and forth to the cluster repair facility over 2 months and this has not been resolved yet. I decided to take a break over the summer but intend to try and resolve this with the cluster repair facility in September."

"About 3-4 months ago, the dashboard lights quit working Not sure why. Asked about possible problems when had oil changed. Not by dealer."

"Another lingering problem over several years I'm trying to solve. Randomly The left channel speakers cut out, this can happen when the car drives on rough pavement or randomly. If I turn up the volume to a high level the sound starts coming from the left channel speakers again. If I bang on the dashboard near the radio I can make the left channel speakers cut in & out, or if I jiggle the speaker harness at the back of the radio same thing. If I move the entire radio in it's mounting bracket same thing. I've removed the left door panels and checked the wiring and connections to the speakers, didn't find any problems. It's a 2 part radio, there is a control head that plugs into the radio body. I've used electronic cleaner in the knobs that control volume and left/right balance, did not help. I've come to the conclusion that either or both of these knobs are defective, or there's some problem in the body of the radio. I have found a control head at a wrecker and will be getting the matching radio body to replace the entire radio in my Elantra. Really hoping this will solve the problem"

"Car is 14 years old. I truly can't complain. Expensive repair. About $600 took 3 days"

"brakes failed due to brake line corrosion in March 2024. First and only time it occurred. It has been repaired but given car's age I will be looking for a new car this spring."

"Need to replace within next couple of months."
