They tested the car and said that the battery will not hold a charge.

I said that we just came from an hour drive on a turnpike, and it was completely dead, with no warning or slow cranking. He told me that is the nature of the "new batteries". I do not believe this story, and will never buy another Hyundai |

| 2000 mi | Remote Start Module Failure |

Problem was AC discharge blow off valve. Turns out that this was all caused by a patch to software from May (Recall #60C113, according to invoice) that the dealer applied during routine maintenance earlier in year. The dealer knew what the problem was right away, have seen other elantras with AC issues since patch. They Reversed patch, recharged AC, and ok since. |
| 96080 mi | Turn signal controller was not working properly. When high beams are on, turning on fog lights shuts them off (that is proper operation). The problem is that, in that scenario, while driving with fog lights on, using the turn signal (left or right) would switch off the fog lights and turn the high beams back on. The defect was noticed at ~20,000 miles but I never pursued it until I was up in miles and beyond warranty. Kudos for Hyundai dealer in Cuyahoga Falls, OH for accepting my report to the dealer in Columbus as sufficient evidence and making a repair under warranty. |
