| 2011 hyundai elantra. lawyer writes regarding notice of claim under the lemon law on behalf of clients *tgw the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer for a routine oil change. when the consumer returned to retrieve the vehicle, the dealer informed him, they damaged the vehicle and it would not start. the problem was determined to be the ecm. three months later, the dashboard warning lights would blink off and on randomly. as a result, there was no way for the consumer to know if the oil pressure, rpm's, tire pressure or engine temperature were within safe limits. the cruise control and miles per gallon did not work either. also, there was no way to tell if the abs was working. the problem seemed to be the ecm once again. when the consumer retrieved the vehicle again, from a different dealer, he was informed that the wrong computer module had been installed in the vehicle. apparently, the computer for a vehicle with an automatic transmission was installed; when the vehicle had a manual transmission. once the consumer left the dealership, the warning lights malfunctioned again. the vehicle was returned to the dealer again. *jb | |||

| On 6/27/2011 the car was hard to start then shut off as it was backed out of a parking space. the car would not start for twenty minutes. the dealer test drove the car after it was towed to them and the car almost stalled at highway speed. the dealer could not identify a problem (no error codes) and decided to change the fuel pump. on 7/8/2011 the car shut off while driving through a parking lot and would not restart. the car was towed back to the dealer and after several weeks the dealer thinks the wiring harness and computer are to blame. the dealer has not located a new computer or harness as of 8/01/2011. this elantra also has had five incidences with the transmission locking in either drive or park. we were told to just stick a screw driver in the front of the transmission console and hit the reset switch. the dealer has made one failed attempt to fix the problem by replacing a brake light switch. the dealer has since replaced the brake light switch for the second time, not sure if it fixed the problem. we only had the car back for a short time. | |||
