EQUIPMENT, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE A 2005 HYUNDAI ELANTRA THAT I BOUGHT USED WITH 28,000 MILES. I TOOK IT IN AT 39,000 MILES TO HAVE THE REAR BRAKES REPLACED. AT 49,000 MILES THE REAR BRAKE PADS WERE SHOT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I TOLD THE DEALER THAT THIS IS CRAZY, AND THEY SAID THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE WORN THAT FAST. I NOW HAVE 60,000 MILES AND MY REAR BRAKES ARE SHOT AGAIN. NOW THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT MAYBE THEY SEE THE REAR BRAKES WEAR OUT MORE FREQUENTLY IN MY CAR MODEL, BUT THEY AREN'T SAYING IT IS NORMAL. THEY WANT ME TO PAY ANOTHER $300 TO REPLACE THE REAR PADS,AND THEN LOOK AT THEM AT 5,000 MILES. THEN THEY WILL TRY TO DETERMINE IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR THAT IS CAUSING THE PADS TO WEAR EXCESSIVELY. I AM AFRAID THAT MY CAR IS NOT SAFE, BECAUSE MY REAR BRAKES ARE NOT WEARING NORMALLY. I'M AFRAID THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG CAUSING THIS PROBLEM, THAT THE DEALER DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
SUDDEN ACCELERATION INCIDENT I AM THE SON OF THE CAR OWNER. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED ABOUT 8:30 AM ON JUNE 17, 2010, IN BETHESDA, MD. I WAS EXITING THE GIANT FOOD PARKING LOT AND STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC ALONG OLD GEORGETOWN ROAD. THE CAR STOPPED BUT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN INCHED AHEAD. I PUSHED DOWN HARDER ON THE BRAKE; HEARD THE ENGINE RACING; SAW THE TACHOMETER GO PAST 6000 RPMS. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RACING. I TURNED OFF THE CAR. I STARTED THE CAR AND THE SAME THING OCCURRED, THE TACHOMETER WENT PAST 6000 RPMS. I TURNED OFF THE CAR. I ROLLED THE CAR TO A PARKING SPACE. I CALLED MY WIFE. A FEW MINUTES PAST, AND I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. THIS TIME IT OPERATED PROPERLY. I TOOK THE CAR TO FITZGERALD AUTO MALL THAT EVENING, FOR NEXT DAY SERVICE. THE TECHNICIAN REPORTED HEARING OF SUCH INCIDENTS WHEN "AFTER MARKET OIL FILTERS WERE USED ON BOTH HYUNDAI'S AND ON SUBARU'S." I RECENTLY HAD AN OIL CHANGE ON THAT CAR. THE GASKETS ARE APPARENTLY NOT THE SAME AS ON THE FACTORY OIL FILTERS. SO THE OIL AND FILTER WAS CHANGED. THEY ALSO FOUND A MIS-FIRE CODE IN THE COMPUTER. SO THE PLUGS AND WIRES WERE CHANGED. THERE WAS NO VACUUM LEAK CODE IN THE SYSTEM. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
I WAS DRIVING 11 MILES TO THE AIRPORT, INVOLVING 8 MILES OF 60 MPH FREEWAY DRIVING; THE REST WAS CITY DRIVING, 25-45 MPH WITH SEVERAL STOPS. AFTER I STOPPED AT THE SECURITY GATE AND PROCEEDED FORWARD, I HEARD A LOUD CRUNCHING THUD ON THE FRONT END; THE CAR SCREECHED TO A HALT; AND I THOUGHT I COLLIDED WITH A CONCRETE BLOCK OR A DEEP POTHOLE. THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WAS TURNED NEARLY 90 DEGREES TO THE RIGHT, WHILE THE LEFT WHEEL WAS STRAIGHT. THE DRIVE SHAFT AND TIE ROD WERE HOLDING THE WHEEL ON THE CAR, BUT THE MAIN STRUCTURAL COMPONENT OF THE RIGHT FRONT END WAS COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF. THE LOWER CONTROL ARM HAD SNAPPED, APPARENTLY BECAUSE OF RUST AND CORROSION. MY CAR WAS PARTIALLY OBSTRUCTING THE PARKING LOT ENTRANCE AND COULD NOT BE MOVED. I INFORMED THE AIRPORT POLICE OF THE INCIDENT AND PROMISED TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED OFF THE LOT WHEN I COMPLETED MY 3-HOUR SHIFT. I MET THE AIRPORT POLICE AND THE AAA TOW DRIVER AT 1:45 AM. THE BROKEN FRONT END MADE TOWING VERY DIFFICULT, AND SOME BODY DAMAGE RESULTED FROM THE WHEEL WELL AND FENDER RESTING ON THE TIRE IN TRANSIT. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE AAA SHOP AT 2AM. I RESEARCHED THE FRONT END FAILURE ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A PRODUCT RECALL ON THE FAILED PART. I CALLED 800-633-5151 AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE FRONT END COULD HAVE KILLED ME, IF IT HAPPENED 5 MINUTES SOONER, SO I FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT. I WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER AND ADVISED TO HAVE THE HYUNDAI DEALER INSPECT THE DAMAGE. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT I WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT SAID IT WAS VERY LIKELY THAT HYUNDAI WOULD REPAIR THE CAR BASED ON "GOOD WILL." THE RECALL EXCLUDED NEBRASKA CARS, ALTHOUGH IT WAS PURCHASED IN MO AND DRIVEN TO WORK DAILY IN IOWA. MY LIFE WAS PLACED IN JEOPARDY BECAUSE I WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HOPEFULLY, HYUNDAI WILL ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR CORRECTING AN OBVIOUSLY DANGEROUS DEFECT FOUND IN ALL 2003 ELANTRAS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2000 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAS A PROBLEM WERE YOU CAN NOT PUMP GAS WITHOUT GAS PUMP STOPPING LIKE IT WAS FILLED ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE ONLY PUMP LESS THAN A GALLON. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT OWN HYUNDAI'S WITH THIS PROBLEM, JUST GOOGLE HYUNDAI PUMPING GAS PROBLEMS. SOMETIMES GAS SPILLS FROM TANK WITHOUT THE TANK BEING FULLY FILLED BECAUSE THE GAS RISES, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND HYUNDAI MUST CORRECT THIS. IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 15 TO 20 MINUTES TO FILL YOUR TANK. I THINK THIS IS A CONCERN FOR A RECALL. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THAT YOU TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP SPEND A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. IM ASKING YOU TO MAKE HYUNDAI LIABLE FOR THIS. IT IS NOT ONLY ANNOYING BUT A SAFETY ISSUE. SEE WHY SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND YOU WILL BE THE JUDGE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
