IL | 03/12/10 | 2.00 | Two 02 sensor failures in 2 years. First left me stranded in NC (rear sensor failure will allow car to start, but no power to even move). Replaced with wrong sensor by Hyundai dealer in NC (mine has CA emission package). Replaced that and 2 months later the front went out. Now at 80,000 miles need a rocker arm cover gasket ($260).
Outside of that, it's been a great little car, but the sensor thing destroyed my previously good gas mileage... | 2003 | K M. |
| 10/09/09 | 4.00 | Overall, I have had very few problems with my car. In the 6 years that I have owned the car, I have only changed the brakes and the alternator. But now my steering wheel is seizing and my mechanic told me that it is a common problem on the elantra. This is the first time I hear this. | 2003 | Elise L. | GLENSHAW
PA | 07/16/09 | 2.00 | I have had to replace the brakes, pads & rotors in this car once a year for the past 5 years. Has anyone else had this much trouble? | 2003 | Ruth M. | GREENDALE

OR | 09/02/08 | 1.00 | We had problems with temp guage reading normal and car overheated causing over $2,000 in damage. Hyundai will do nothing about it.
Have replaced headlights 3 times since purchasing the car in 5 months ago. Hyundai says nothing wrong.
I will NEVER purchase a Hyundai again!!! | 2003 | Leonardo H. | FORT LAUDERDALE

NV | 05/27/08 | 2.00 | When I first purchased this car everything worked fine, it had appx 32000 miles. Within a month the trany started to not shift properly and went to the dealer. He checked it 3 times, nothing wrong. Then back for struts and shocks, ALL were shot at about 35,000 miles the transmission was still an issue. They stated the fluid was incorrect, then discovered they were the last ones to work on it. After A LOT OF CRAP they fixed it. Still shifts funny when cold but otherwise ok. There has been too much hassel with a car with 32,000 miles on it. I sold my 93 Explorer with no problems and 160k miles to buy this.... should have kept the Ford. | 2003 | Anna S. | EUCLID
OH | 05/11/08 | 2.00 | This car is certainly a gas saver, but not so much fun to drive. With its 4-cyl, 2L engine, the acceleration is poor. It's a real chore to operate in snow (14" tires). | 2003 | Don C. | MC DONALD
PA | 03/31/08 | 4.00 | replaced | 2003 | Mario C. | SAN DIEGO
CA | 02/23/08 | 4.00 | Great car, minimal problems in 5 yrs, 60k miles. At 55k, #1 O2 sensor went bad and was replaced under warranty. At 45k, upon brake application, squeak can be heard under the body. After I took it in to get serviced-had timing chain replaced and vehicle has not run as well since. | 2003 | Teri F. | SPRINGFIELD CENTER
