| Probable fire hazard: problem with frequent burning out of fuses to cigarette lighter (charger), some dash lights (back light for digital radio channel indicator) either no longer work or come off and on (ash tray light), ac and fan knobs--used to have to tap on them to get them to light, acted almost like a dimmer switch, sometimes had to tap several times to get to turn on, and sometimes knob back lighting on, but dim, and had to tap to get full power to bulbs, cd player overheating and stopped working--gives error message, (had similar cd player overheating with a 2003 mitsubishi lancer i owned in early to mid-2000s, but cd player continued to work--elantra does not work more than a few seconds before ejecting cd.) headlights burning out too frequently (including last time, when headlight removed on passenger side, light went out on driver's side as well.) headlight had short and would come back on when i banged on lens with fist for several months, became more and more frequent until if finally burned out. concerned of risk of electrical fire as engine area becomes hot. note that clear-coat on hood over each headlight area and over fuse relay box area became yellow, then brittle, peeling off in past 6 months. purchased vehicle in july 2008 or 2009? believe it had about 63,000 miles on it then--currently 138,000 miles. airbag light says off when 200 lb. husband seated on passenger side on occasion recently noticed in last year. | |||

| My 2006 hyundai elantra manufactured in korea in december 2005 falls outside the hyundai recalls for defective brake light switches (it is not a puerto rican-made 2006, or a 2007+ elantra covered by recalls), but uses the same defective part # (93810-3k000) under recall, as detailed in tsb 09-01-018. my car's brake lights failed to work, giving only 0.5v to the bulb sockets when brakes were applied. i tested the brake light switch, and it failed to give continuity between any of its 4 contacts in open or closed position. | |||

| First time i was parking the car and it just accelerated making the car jump. the next time i was stopping at a stop sign and the car accelerated on its own and i almost ended up in the intersection. this has happen at least 6 or 7 times when i was parking or stopping at a stop sign. i never know when i stop or park the car if it will accelerate on its own. i have come so very close to hitting a vehicle in front of me, sliding into the intersection and/or jumping a parking bumper. i have also had a problem with the windshield wiper washer. i've had it corrected at the dealership a couple of times only to have it stop working within a few days. this problem has existed since i bought the car in february 2006 and needless to say is still not working. the speed on the car is wrong. it shows me going faster than i'm actually going. for example, it shows i'm going 57 mph when i'm actually going 54 mph. | |||

| I have no brake lights in my 2006 hyundai elantra which i just discovered. i replaced the fuses but problem was not corrected. while researching the internet, came across a notification that the brake light switch in these models are being recalled. i called consumers affairs with hyundai and was referred to local dealership. today, 5/12 went to the new port richey hyundai dealer and was told by the service rep there is no recall and all of this was internet garbage. i left with no brake lights. went to the local auto parts and they can not get the brake light switch as out of stock. local dealer does not recognize a recall and auto parts store can not get the part. need assistance please. thanking you in advance. *tr tom kinsella | |||

| We purchased 2 hyundai elantras 2006 models in may 2006 as gifts for our daughters. within 1 week or less, the phone charger in the car was not working on either car. they replaced the fuses in each vehicle and told us that when we charge the phones, they should be plugged in prior to starting the car in order to keep the fuses from blowing. 13 oct 2006 - 1 of my daughters blew a fuse and replaced it per their protocol. she plugged in her cell phone to charge and the cranked her car. the fuse blew again. this seems to be a problem when we have 2 brand new 2006 elantras that are both blowing fuses. you should be able to plug in a simple cell phone charger without the fear of blowing the fuse every time. *nm | |||
