car caught fire, hyundai jerked me around on repairs

Car caught fire when turned off sitting in my driveway. The ABS system shorted out and burned up. How this happened without the key in it I will never understand. 88k cars were recalled for similar defect but mine wasnt. It was only through God's grace that the car wasnt parked in the garage that day or it would have burned down my house. Since it was parked in the driveway a neighbor saw and called the fire department. Hyundai spent 6 months jerking me around and refusing to repair the car. I have never been treated worse by a company. The car has a major defect in it that can burn your home down do not buy. The interior and everything is very cheap and chintzy and falls apart after a few years of use. My car is about 10yrs old but the newest models are not any nicer. No major improvements in a decade but they cost $5,000 more!

09 elantra

Rough riding vehicle, poor suspension and loud road noise. Cheap and poor quality door handles. One of mine just snapped off. I will never buy another Hyundai and will tell others not too.

Many issues

Bought new in 2009. Had to have transmission replaced, radio, horn, window issues, many inferior parts. Hopefully they have addressed part problems with newer cars.

Hyundai Elantra Year 2009

I do not like the beige color seats, as they get dirty too quick. Also, my CD player went out and I was told I had to get it fixed somewhere else. I wasn't happy with this. My Mitsubishi was 12 years old and the cd worked in it. Now I have to listen to Cirrus XM and it cuts out more than it plays. I now have had to put front brake pads and rotors on it. I just think that these things should not be happening to a car of 7 years old, and a one owner car at that.

One amazing feature of my vehicle is that it is excellent on fuel and quite durable in the winter.

Car required a one thousand dollar transmission repair with only 85,000 miles.

Since my last four cars (three Hondas and a Suzuki) each got over 200,000 miles without a major repair, a one thousand dollar repair on a car with only 85,000 on it does not speak well for the brand. This was a well cared for car with probably 75% of mileage as highway cruising miles. Other than this, my biggest complaint was the high beam switch; instead of being a rocker switch that returned the knob to its starting position, the knob was pushed away from my fingertips and required me to remove my hand from the wheel. Better sound-proofing would have been nice.

GARY'S REVIEW OF MY 2009 HYUNDAI

;I REALLY LIKE MY CAR. I MUST TELL YOU THOUGH, THE ELANTRA IS NOT RATED AS A GOOD SMOOTH RIDE. I HAS NOT RECEIVED A GOOD RATING AS PER CONSUMER REPORTS. I ALSO BELIEVE THE PRICES FOR A NEW CAR TO MUCH TOO HIGH.

My 2009 elantra

I really like my elantra, but, I must say and this can be verified by Consumer Report, this is not a smooth ride. Probably needs more suspension on the car. Could be better on gas as well. Would probably by something a bit larger next time.

I don't hate it but I don't love it either

It was the only vehicle we ever bought new. And it has served a good 11 years so far, however it is also a very frustrating vehicle. When things do break it is often expensive to fix. Case in point, the transmission in the windshield wipers went out. All that means for me is that my windshield wipers no longer remember where to go for start position. They stay upright on my windshield. But they still work. The part alone is $300. $300 just to make your windshield wipers lay down correctly.

for what the car is, is great

VERY maneuverable with excellent steering and braking. Tough BIG inside felling little car with lots of inside space, and trunk space. VERY HAPPY with the car. Don't expect a lot of power for like going up a freeway ramp, as car seems to struggle with that. Once it gets going, it goes VERY well. Have driven it back and forth on highways to California 10 times. Everything is located well, lots of nice adds with mone work well- cruise is fussier than Nissan, but is fine- AC is GREAT for AZ, and car cools down fast. Car goes down the road very straight, stops and steers great, but there is cabin noise- like on occasion, i check to see if a window is open. GREAT value car- tough as nails, great size/maneuverability for getting into small parking spots, great AC- nice gas mileage. My wife loves the car.

She's Been A Good Car

After driving this car the first few months, there were a few things I would have changed- but I was used to driving Buicks. One issue of the 2009 at least -is road noise. Secondly would be the cheap quality of the tires which are worthless in winter and needed replaced before 10,000 miles. As time went on- She needed new brakes before 20,000 miles, and I am not a brake rider. There have been a few recalls - but I respect that Hyundai accepts responsibility and takes care of know problems. On the plus side is she has not needed any major repairs, good gas mileage, good visibility of your surroundings, seats that are very adjustable, large trunk. I joke and call her my pedal car- but truth be told - she is peppy enough to do anything I have asked her to do. The biggest drawback of me buying another Hyundai is that I have to drive at least 40 miles one way for any repairs or maintenance. For this reason I go to a local shop- which probably voided any warranties.

Some slight problems

Although I do enjoy driving my car around town, I have had some technical problems. There were a couple of recalls one for ESC which drained my battery repeatedly and when I brought my car for service they replaced fuses but the same problem occurred. Eventually, a recall notice came in and eliminated the problem but it did cost me a couple of batteries and service repairs. I also had sunroof repair, but other than that my car is running well. I recently replaced a transmission and my 6 year old car only had 58,000 miles! However, the warranty covered everything. My car is great on mileage, easy to handle and comfortable during long drives and still appears new.

Great Commuter Car.

Let me say this isn't a luxury vehicle, but one designed to be inexpensive, great on gas and reliable. It is all these things.We bought it when my wife was going to school in Reno (more than an hour and half away). We averaged about 35 mpg overall. The only maintenance we've had to do is the changing of the timing belts every 70K. I don't long the "interruption head" design of the engine, which isn't forgiving of any tardiness in getting those belts changed (huge repair bill, if they break). Relatively comfortable seats; we drove all the way to Yuma AZ from Susanville, CA and even with my bad back, it was bad at all. However, at 6' and 240, I'm right at the edge of size they will accommodate. Blue tooth for the phone is cheap and poor sound, but it does work without problems. Engine power isn't going to rocket you around slow traffic, but it's adequate for passing safely and quickly. My biggest complaint (hence the 4 stars) is the road noise. It seems like there is virtually now sound insulation in the car. It's the noisiest car I've ever owned. .

I Love my Car!

It's not the prettiest car but it hasn't given me any major problems and it's a 2009! I can rely on it to get me wherever I'm going. I think my next car will be a Hyundai also.
