| I read the structure report about the sun roof exploding and want it on record that starting the past week or so, i hear very loud pops that i think are the sun roof or the structural integrity of the car. the moulding on the right drivers side along the roof edge will not stay locked down either, i keep waiting for the sun roof glass to shatter all over me, it has been extremely hot here but i have never heard this problem before and it is alarming, i travel the interstate alone quite often and worry about this now that i read about this happening to someone else. the dealer is by my work so i think i will drop it off so that it is on their records too if this does explode on me as well. obviously this is another 2006 issue, if the elantra i bought in 2000 was like this one, i would have never bought another. | |||

| I am 5' 1 tall or short!! the sun was shining in my eyes and i needed the driver side visor down. it would not open so i had to apply a little pressure. the triangular clamp and the visor rod broke. i read that there have been several complaints in this regard but hyundai refuses to replace it for free. the mileage is less than 60,000 miles. | |||

| My 2006 elantra hatchback has a sudden acceleration problem. i experienced several times that my car sudderly accelerated while normal driving, for example, i was driving at 40 mph but the car suddernly accelerated to 60 mph. on 1/25/2010, i was driving home at 2:30 am, setting the cruise at 70 mph and the engine speed was showing the engine was about 2750 rpm but it suddenly accelerated to 4000 rpm and the car was hard to control if i was not paying attention to it. i turned off the cruise setting at once, later i turned on the cruise again to set at 70 mph and later it suddenly accelerated from 2750 rpm to 4000 rpm and then slowed down back to 3000 rpm and again accelerated to 4000 rpm then back to normal speed at 2750 rpm. also, my car could not go forward straightly, it always goes to the left side. i have to turn my steering wheel to the right in order to go straightly. | |||
