1 Fuses And Circuit Breaker problem of the 2007 Hyundai Elantra

Failure Date: 10/01/2009

The car is a 2007 Hyundai Elantra sedan. While driving the air bag light came on so an appointment was made with the dealer (hamilton Hyundai, chambersbrug, PA to have it checked. The dealer said that moisture from the center mounted cup holder got into a electrical connection directly below and caused the wiring harness to get hot, melt together and the wiring harness on the passenger side under the dash, also melted. No fuses or circuit breakers activated. The air bags at this point were inoperable and the service manager said that the car could possibly catch fire while operating. The car was also there for the recall on the brake switch that could cause a crash since the brake lights could or couldn't illuminate. The parts and labor to replace the wiring harness are quite expensive and all due to a poorly engineered design. The fact that we were warned that the car could catch fire is disturbing and Hyundai said that there was nothing they could do to help. There is another 2007 Hyundai Elantra at the dealer that has the same harness melted down.

2 Fuses And Circuit Breaker problem of the 2006 Hyundai Elantra

Failure Date: 05/23/2006

We purchased 2 Hyundai Elantras 2006 models in may 2006 as gifts for our daughters. Within 1 week or less, the phone charger in the car was not working on either car. They replaced the fuses in each vehicle and told us that when we charge the phones, they should be plugged in prior to starting the car in order to keep the fuses from "blowing". 13 oct 2006 - 1 of my daughters blew a fuse and replaced it per their protocol. She plugged in her cell phone to charge and the cranked her car. The fuse blew again. This seems to be a problem when we have 2 brand new 2006 Elantras that are both blowing fuses. You should be able to plug in a simple cell phone charger without the fear of blowing the fuse every time.

7 Fuses And Circuit Breaker problem of the 1996 Hyundai Elantra

Failure Date: 08/01/1998

I reported this information given to you to the main company in the month of August on several occasions; however, I have not received a response. In my opinion, this is totally unfair because I am making payments on an automobile that is literally falling apart. I feel that it Hyundai motor finance company should have made some preparation to satisfy their customer,one who has an excellent paying history. I am very dissatified with this product and would like a better automobile, one in which I would feel comfortable driving and paying for in the remainder years. Please help! thanks, carolyn b. Thomas. Not air bag complaint (e. G. , seat belt, trailer suspension air bag, etc. ) added on 09-07-1999.

Am very unhappy with this car and am afraid to drive it on the highways because it lost all power when driving on I- 65. Was towed in 2 times because of no power. They offered for me to trade it in on a new car, that would mean another 5 yr. Loan and another $50. 00 a month payment. I did not feel this was a very good solution . Service dept. Has been good as trying to find the problems, but I am not happy that they have not replaced this car at no cost to me, for all the problems I have had.
