Car cut off while driving. Was able to restart but I fear that this will occur again. I have taken the car to a near by car repair shop, not hyundia because I fear the car might turn off again on the express way to hyundia. The master mechanic hooked up my car to the diagnostics and it is a fuel pumpissue. With so little miles this is concerning.

When we called to Hyundai motor company about the recall campaign on 65000 units Hyundai Elantra 2008 asking why we did not receive the notification. Their response as follows " we have received your email regarding when you will receive a recall notice for your 2008 Elantra. After researching your concern we have determined that your vehicle is not affected by campaign 086 for the fuel filter. Fuel pumps installed in vehicles prior to November 5, 2007, and since June 28, 2008, were manufactured with upper body components that maintain proper armature alignment. The models produced during that production date range are the only ones affected by the armature alignment condition. Your vehicle was produced on 9/29/2007". Our conclusion that Hyundai just screen out the demand of recall repairs and wait until incident crash occurred or law suit if the fuel pump failure. When I drive on the street or freeway, sometimes I feel the vehicle is slow down and jerking or jump as no fuel injected or pumped properly in the engine despite of middle grade 98 octane gas.

My 2008 Hyundai Elantra stalls frequently, but not reproducible, about once a week. I notice this when the vehicle is traveling around 20-25 miles/hour. Internet search indicates that others are experiencing similar problem and a faulty fuel pump may be the issue.

I found out that my car was put on a recall list in 2000,and I was never sent a recall letter. Now my car is in the garage because the fuel pump went out. Why do some people get the letters and others do not ? diana white.

I purchased my 08 Elantra this summer. Delivery date 07/05/08. Complaint 1, "customer states engine wont start". The dealership replaced fuel pump to correct concern. Complaint 2, incident 1 invoice date 09/15/08. I began to have problems with my clutch. Vehicle will make grinding noises going into rev, 1st, and 2nd gear. Clutch will not engage properly. Will stall out when very cold or raining. Major problems when at stop lights railroad crossings(stalling out on the tracks) or going up an incline. After several attempts to "correct my concern" the dealership and its service shop have yet to "duplicate" the problem or any to be exact. However, my service report date 09/24/08 states "but did find hard to get into gear at times bled hydraulic system and corrected concern. " again on 10/08/08 dealer stated could not duplicate problem but service invoice reads " cust stats in am trans is hard to shift into gear and rpm gage will rev high found hard shift replaced tranny gear oil to correct concern" I took the car back on 11/06/08 because it still has the same problems and a few new ones. I spoke to the owner of the dealership who verified that there was a problem with the car. Later that day he called me back and told me it was fine. Liar much?I have my car back again today 11/13/08 and it is still giving me problems. These problems create a serious safety hazard due to the fact that it stalls out in the middle of the road in stop and go traffic and at lights and gives off a weird smell like a burned circuit after I go uphill for too long, keep in mind I'm not driving my car into the ground. I took a test drive with the service manager today, the car was giving me trouble right in front of him and he claims that I was riding the clutch. I explained to him that I needed to depress the clutch pedal to keep the car from stalling out but he ignored me. I'll be going back on the 15th to speak to the owner again.

After having my fuel pump replaced due to a recall and previously reported problem, my car stalled out on a busy road again. I tried to restart the car numerous times with no luck at all. I had to have the car towed to a safe location so I was able to have it towed to the Hyundai dealership. I was told that this time the reason the car stalled was due to a fuel sensor being incorrect as a result of the installation of the new fuel pump. I was told that the car stalled because it was completely out of gas. The fuel gauge read that I had 3/4 of a tank. It at minimum is going to take the dealership a full week to have this problem resolved.

While driving on a major highway and traveling at high speed, as I began to merge to an exit ramp, my 2008 Hyundai Elantra completely stalled out. I tried to restart the car three times and it died on me on each of those tries. After the fourth attempt I was able to restart the car to get to a safe location. The car was taken to the dealership the next morning when I was told that the fuel pump had been recalled and that it would be replaced. The fuel pump was replaced, but there were further problems with the fuel system. The fuel pump was recalled four days prior to me buying the Elantra and I was not made aware of the issue by the dealership.

Driving north on hwy 5 from bakersfield CA when the engine began to miss and loose power. I managed to pull over at avenal where I put gas in hoping it would work better. I let it rest and when I started it up, the engine light came on. I drove it a bit and called into the roadside assistance from Hyundai and explained the situation to them. I said I was driving north but keeping it at 65 mph. I was told to continue and call back if any other issues occurred. Soon after that the car began loosing power intermittently and the engine was missing. Finally, at 10 miles before rte 152 between mendota & firebaugh, the car completely died and the battery light came on. I called roadside assistance again and they called for a tow and a police officer. The tow driver arrived about an hour later and took it to the gilroy dealership. I have since been informed it was the fuel pump. This is a new car, 2008, with only 770 miles on it. I've only had it 4 days.

I took my 2008 Elantra in for service. They replaced the fuel pump due to a recall. That same day the car stalled in the middle of a busy highway. They just replaced the fuel pump again.

The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Elantra. The contact received a recall notice to have the fuel pump repaired on her vehicle. She had not experienced any failures with the vehicle prior to having it repaired. Afterwards, she noticed that the vehicle would not operate the same. While driving less than 45 mph and attempting to brake, the vehicle would accelerate. She also felt heavy vibrations in the vehicle as well. The NHTSA campaign id number was unknown. The failure mileage was 360 and current mileage was 1,100.

Took a 375 mile/ 8 hour trip. New 2008 Hyundai Elantra w/less than 1800 miles. Upon exiting expressway, engine struggled, as if trying to shift to next gear, but bucked & hesitated. After stopped at a red light, proceeded to cross busy intersection. Car sputtered and stalled . Check engine light came on and stayed on. 5 failed attempts to restart but did after 9 minutes. Made it to destination. Local Hyundai service center closed. Forced to attempt trip back next day. Had to drive through very heavy traffic - including the george washington bridge, and winding mountain roads in PA. Car acted up 3-4 times, each time losing speed, sputtering & bucking. While never actually stalled, could have been catastrophic. Acted worse while accelerating - sounded like engine cutting out. Dropped it off to dealership where purchased 8/10/08. Next day, informed of broken fuel pump. Being replaced with a new one - ready today, 8/14/08. After reading so many similar stories on-line, I felt I had to inform you of my incident. I believe there needs to be a recall - especially as there are so many 2008 Elantras on the road. Had we needed to make an emergency escape of our stalled car, in NY traffic, we would have likely been killed trying to exit, and probably been run over by a tractor trailer had we stayed in the car. We certainly would not have been able to get our crated puppy out of the back seat, as a parent would not be able to rescue a baby in an infant seat. This is a series of tragedies waiting to happen!!!! I will still not feel confident driving my 3 1/2 month old car, as many people continue to have trouble even with replaced parts. I implore you to probe deeper in to this matter and have Hyundai correct this problem. . . Before many people become a fatality statistic!.

I got into my car 120 miles from home and noticed my check engine light was on. I called my dealer where I bought the car from and told them. They made an appointment for me to bring it in. I proceeded to travel back home 120 miles away and was at a light. The light changed I put my foot on the pedal and it went 5 miles and hour. I pulled over called the 800 number on the car for Hyundai was told they would tow the car to the closest dealer. I had no problem with that but I wanted to know how I could get back home 120 miles. They told me the dealer should give me a loaner car. They would not because I did not purchase the car from them. . I continued to try and make it home and the car broke down 30 miles into the drive. Called the dealer I got the car from and they had a tow truck come and get me. The final part of the story is that it was the fuel pump. There should be a recall. I could have killed myself and others if I did not stay in the right hand lane. Hyundai was not a pleasure to work with. I have not even had my car 30 days and it broke down.

I have a Hyundai Elantra which one had 3500 miles on it and the cars fuel pump went while I was diving it. Just started to sputter and the check engine light came on. Had to have it tow to dealership where they replaced the fuel pump.

I've 2008 Elantra se automatic with 5400 miles on it. Yesterday my wife was driving from boston to upstate after finishing my younger one's treatment at bch. And half way through she stopped at a rest area. After pulling out from rest area the car started decelerating and it was feeling as if car was trying to shift gear but having issues. It reached up to speed of 60-65 and after that no matter how much gas she applies it wont go any further but started to decelerate. Luckily she was able to pull over on side and called hra to get car towed to nearest dealership. Just hour ago got call back from dealership stating it was issue with fuel pump and they have replaced it and car is ready for pickup. This is first time this failure happen while she was driving. We have felt couple of times while driving like car with has some kind of thrust (probably trying to change gear in automatic transmission). But this was first time when it wont take anymore gas after pushing gas pedal. It is serious issue and manufacturer needs to be made aware of it or should take some action against manufacturer.

My fiancee and I recently purchased a brand new(had 7 miles on when we got it) 2008 Hyundai Elantra. In about the third week of ownership, we took a road trip out of state. While returning home, on the NY state thruway, the car began to shake and shudder, and lose speed rapidly. The engine light came on and I pulled over to the shoulder. After about half an hour, I tried to drive again and had the same problems. We were towed off of the thruway, then to a Hyundai dealership by hra, where they looked at the vehicle for a morning. The problem was diagnosed as 'bad gas'. We were told to buy a container of dry gas and sent on our way. The car seemed to behave for about 5 days, then the next weekend I ventured out of town again in my still new car. About an hour into my trip, the car started shuddering and shaking on interstate 84. I pulled off at the nearest exit, and the car died completely. I was not in a safe location, so I tried to start it to move the car. It would no longer start. I got towed all the way home at great expense to myself, and brought the car to the dealership where I bought it. After 5 complete days of working on the car, they replaced the fuel pump. I am now reading that other people have had similar problems, sometimes with far worse consequences. I have not yet operated my new car on a highway since the fuel pump replacement, but I plan to tonight, and am quite nervous about it.

6/26/08 - car looses power on expressway, check engine light comes on. Dealer fixes faulty "downstream oxygen sensor" 7/10/08 - car looses power, engine hesitation and racing rpm's in speeds of 20-40 mph. Check engine light comes on. Dealer replaces fuel pump 8/14/08- car hesitating and rpm's racing in speeds of 20-40 mph. Will take back to dealer when check engine light comes on.

Our 2008 Hyundai Elantra stalled on I-5 outside of chico CA with less approximately 900 miles on the car. We were just barely able to get to the shoulder before the car completely died. We were towed to the Hyundai dealer who replaced the fuel pump.

Our Hyundai Elantra, with approx. 1000 miles on it, stalled not far from our home. We left home and within two miles the car begin to hesitate. After a mile of several hesitating instances, we turned around but could not make it home. The engine died and we had to park in a neighbor's driveway. The fuel pump had gone out.

Purchased brand new 2008 Hyundai Elantra June 5, 2008. Since purchasing the car it broke down within 30 days with the check engine light coming on and the engine losing power. The dealership replaced the oxygen sensor and part of the exhaust because the sensor was seized up inside it. Within 2 days of getting the car back the check engine light came on again and the car lost power and the engine was rough. The first time it happened was in heavy traffic and during a left hand turn into oncoming traffic. Fortunately, the engine regained power and I was able to avoid an accident. The dealership now plans to replace the fuel pump. However, it is on backorder and we will probably be without the car a total of at least 30 days or more due to these repairs. We have contacted an attorney because we no longer have trust in the safety of the vehicle especially since it will be used to transport our 4 month old to day care every day. We haven't even had the car 60 days yet.

Purchased a new 2008 Hyundai Elantra. Left the dealership with the new car and after driving about 10 miles, noticed that the car was hesitating and could not increase speed and shift to the next higher gear. The car finally shifted to the final gear and all was well for about 10 more miles; then the car started to slow down to the point where feeding gas was not helping. The car crawled to a stop at a freeway exit (fortunately) and I contacted the dealer. They arranged towing and delivered me a loaner. The fuel pump failed after only 20 miles of driving the new car.

Was driving new Elantra (1100 miles and 12 days of ownership) on highway when vehicle started sputtering and lost power no matter how much gas I fed it. Pulled over and turned off car. Restarted vehicle with difficulty and "check engine" light indicating emissions problem came on. Car seemed fine until 2-3 miles later when same symptoms (lurching, losing power) recurred. . This happened 2 more times, each time I managed to pull off road, turned off car, let it sit and then took multiple attempts at starting before it engaged and ran very rough, with very little power. Intent was to get to a safe place to stop. Car was towed to nearest huyndai dealership (I was 150 miles from home) where they initially diagnosed bad gas. But car ran 175 miles on that tank of gas before problem occurred. Then they diagnosed bad fuel pump and replaced fuel pump. Hyundai roadside assistance was useless -- had to arrange for own tow truck -- Hyundai did not offer replacement vehicle or even reimbursement for gas for me to drive back and forth to pick up my dead new car from being repaired 150 miles from home. We've not had further problems (now have 7500 miles on it) but I am on edge expecting another break-down after reading other people's experiences.

Brand new car that after three weeks of ownership stalled in the middle of the road. Dealership replaced air sensors, car stalled again. Finally determined fuel pump was bad and replaced fuel pump from a car on the lot, car stalled again. Fuel pump replaced with new fuel pump, car still stalling. Have brought car in 7 times now and am now being told to go home with the car because they don't want to look at it.

Purchased 2008 Hyundai Elantra in mid-may 2008. Within two weeks the car encountered problems stalling and running sluggish. First time it happened, I took it to the dealer they had an error code, said a sensor had went out. Car worked fine for less than 24 hours, I was on a major highway and the car just sputtered and wouldn't go over 5 miles an hour. I spent 20 minutes dodging traffic trying to get off the highway intersection to where I could have the car in a safe spot. Let it sit and it started back up no problems, until the next day, it just died on the road. Had it towed to the dealer, five days later they said they replaced the fuel pump. It's been a month now since the repair and haven't had any problems with the car so far, but I am crossing my fingers every time I start it up and drive somewhere.

New 2008 Hyundai Elantra GLS, had problems in 1st gear engine would shut off and sometimes it would run very ruff ,sometimes starting the car I would turn the key and it was like the battery was dead had to do it 2 or 3 times before the starter would catch on and start the car. I only drove this car for 12 days before taking it into the dealer for a complete check up also the alarm wasnt working. They told me that the fuel pump was bad (new car only 1000 miles????) and it should take a few days to get the part in, then after a week they told me they were still waiting on the part and there is a "natl back order on this part" and they should be getting in the part soon they hope. Week 2 there still waiting on the part and he has 4 cars waiting for the same part all Elantras (3from their stock). Week 3 still waiting, still no part, I called Hyundai they told me they dont know of any problems or possible recalls on the part and promised to call me back in 24 to 48 hrs, I had to call them back 4 days later asking why I didnt get a call back, another customer care agent helped me this time saying that she is so sorry im having such problem and promised to call me back that same day after she had a chance to talk to the service manager at the dealership. Im once again waiting with no call backs. . . . . . The car has now been in their hands for 22 days with no part in hand to repair my car????????. Thought you should know about it. . .

2007 Hyundai Elantra - I recently saw on the national news that there is concerns about the safety of the 2007 - 2008 Elantra due to possible fuel pump stalling in traffic. I want to report the same thing happened to us about 60 days after purchasing the automobile. My wife was nearly creamed on the interstate by a semi-truck when the vehicle just died.

My fuel pump went out on my 2003 Hyundai Elantra 40 miles from home on the highway on a day that was near 100 degrees outside. When picking my car up 4 days later (because they did not have the part in stock) I find out that the part was a recalled part on my car. I asked the service person why I was not notified of this and his response was that the recall was "only in colorado". Keep in mind that cheyenne wyoming is only 10 miles from colorado and often dealers in cheyenne get their cars from colorado. I am a consultant and I travel across the state of wyoming-my car is my employment. This put me in a situation where I could have lost my job. I had to borrow a friends car, transfer all my equipment from my car to theirs. Also, I was on the interstate on a very hot day, not only is it dangerous to be stranded on the highway, but it was extremely hot outside and things could have been very bad. I do not understand why I was not notified ahead of time of this, it would have saved me an incredible amount of trouble. Also, my car was full of gas fumes after the repair--I was told this was normal because of how the repair is done and that it would be gone in a couple of days. It took over a week for the stench in my car to disappear. I had to use my car immediately to travel across the state-I had to drive down the highway with my windows open in order to not get sick. I would have liked to have been notified of this defect/recall-believe I should have been notified. I was very frustrated that the service center in cheyenne was "dumbfounded" about the whole event.
