| Intermittently stalls when slowing. happened at railroad tracks. seems alot of people having same problem. found recall #00v259001 called hyundai. was told recall was done by previous owner. had car checked out at shop. was same part that was replaced by recall. told hyundai maybe the part went bad. was told they only fix recall item once,i would have to pay to replace it. i think this is pretty dangerous. had a complete tune-up done to see if this would help. it didn't. guess some people have to die or file lawsuits before anything gets done. *tr | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2000 hyundai elantra. the contact's vehicle was repaired according to nhtsa campaign id number 00v259001 (electrical system:wiring). the contact was unaware of the repair. several months after the repair was made, the vehicle lost power while driving various speeds and caused him to decelerate. the vehicle also lost power steering ability, and eventually the vehicle would stall. the contact has to place the vehicle into neutral and then restart it in order for it to be functional. he took the vehicle to the dealer on numerous occasions, but the failure could not be duplicated. over the past several years, the dealer repeatedly replaced the crankshaft position sensors and power relay. secondly, because the vehicle was previously repaired according to the recall, the dealer would not assume financial responsibility for the repair. the contact called the manufacturer and is waiting for their response. as of july 18, 2008, the contact has not received any assistance. the failure mileage was 10,000 and current mileage was 108,000. | |||
