Faults:

"Check Engine" light comes on if the gas cap is not screwed on tight enough.

My speedometer has been replaced because of the twitching.

Outside of the car gets dirty really fast. I take it to the car wash and as soon as I get home its dirty again. So I have to wash it by hand.

My spark plugs have gone bad, but the warranty covered them free of charge.

General Comments:

The car is great. despite the problems above. I love this car and I can't decide if I should buy another Elantra or a Santa Fe.

The car has really good power and moves quite well. I've driven it in the snow and all I have to say is wow. The car plows through the snow with now problem at all. We live up on a hill and the snow was at least 5 inches deep and the car crawled up with no problem.

The inside is very well laid out and roomy.

The warranty is great.

All in all I love this car!!!

Faults:

First, it wouldn't run in the rain. No kidding. Stall out at a stop. It was the MAP sensor. This was replaced at 6 weeks.

Then, when you put the brakes on, the seat belt locks, and HARD. Was told this was normal.

Transmission delays and shifts weird. Gets hung in passing gear when the cruise control is on. Have to kick it down before the engine flies out of the hood. No problem found. Yeah...

Finally the transmission throttle position sensor was replaced at 8 months.

Did okay for 2 days, then back to the same old crap.

Now, when the car is on cruise control, or you are doing 65-70mph, the speedometer needle gets a "nervous twitch" and the car "lunges" back and forth. What the heck?

Minor annoyances are the squeaky steering wheel, and the paint wearing off of the window and door lock controls after just 2 months.

Add to that warped rotors at 15,000 miles and you've got a HyunDEAD.

Moral of this story: You get what you pay for. Cheap car, lots of trouble.

Faults:

At 33,000 miles had to have the transmission replaced. Took a week to get the car back, however, they did provide a loaner.

While the car was in the shop they said the front right wheel bearing needed to be replaced. That part took the shop 3 weeks to get it.

When I came in to have the wheel bearing replaced, they said the left front wheel needed replacement also. That took two more weeks of waiting. After this wheel bearing was replaced, had to bring the car back in for a rubbing sound. The wheel bearing needed to be adjusted.

Great warranty, I just didn't expect to have to use it this quickly. Now the car is making sounds like it is an aircraft taking off when I accelerate.
