2000 Hyundai Elantra

THREE WINDOW REGULATORS ON MY 2000 HYUNDAI ELANTRA ARE NOT WORKING AND I AM UNABLE TO ROLL THEM UP AND DOWN. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW SLIDES DOWN WHEN I AM DRIVING. APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO. I HAD THE DRIVERS SIDE REGULATOR REPLACED AND IT'S BROKE AGAIN. THEY DON'T SEEM TO LAST. IN ORDER FOR ME TO PUT THE WINDOWS UP I HAVE TO HOLD THE SWITCH AND THE WINDOW. I HAVE HURT MY HANDS COUNTLESS TIMES ALREADY..IT HURTS ALOT!! PLEASE HELP ME CONCERNING THE WINDOW REGULATORS ON THESE CARS. EACH WINDOW COST ALOT TO FIX AND I HAVE 3 BROKEN NOW. AFTER RESEARCHING THE WEB, II HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I AM EXPERIENCING REGARDING THE WINDOWS AND I AM HOPING FOR A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP AND AM LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE CONCERNING THIS MATTER. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. *TR

2000 HYUNDAI ELANTRA - NEW------------7/05 W/ 17,923 MILEAGE ON THE CAR. I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE MOTOR ON THE PASS. FRONT WINDOW & BOTH BACK WINDOWS. IT IS NOW 12/07 AND I NEED TO REPLACE THE SAME MOTORS IN ALL 3 WINDOWS , MY CAR NOW HAS 29,420 MILEAGE ON THE CAR. THE WINDOW THAT I WOULD USE THE MOST IS THE DRIVERS FRONT , IS JUST FINE. *TR

I AM 87 YEARS OLD AND BOUGHT A 2000 ELANTRA BRAND NEW IN 1999. I HAVE ONLY PUT 25,000 MILES ON THIS CAR IN 7 YEARS AND THE ONLY TIME I HAVE OPENED THE REAR WINDOWS WAS WHEN I HIT THE WRONG BUTTON BY MISTAKE. WELL RECENTLY MY SON DROVE THE CAR AND OPENED THE REAR WINDOWS - BOTH OF THEM FAILED IN ONE WEEK. WHEN WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WANTED TO CHARGE $69 PER WINDOW JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. MY SON SAID THAT THEY HAVE TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS CAUSE WE CAN'T HAVE THE ONLY ELANTRA THAT HAD THIS PROBLEM AND SINCE THERE WAS VIRTUALLY NO USE OF THE WINDOWS IT HAD TO BE A FAULTY DESIGN OR MOTOR. THE SERVICE MAN SWORE UP AND DOWN THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE BACK WINDOWS. THEY CALLED ME AND SAID IT WOULD COST $375 PER WINDOW TO REPLACE THE WINDOW REGULATORS. THAT IS A TOTAL OF $750 FOR BOTH WINDOWS. I FEEL I HAVE BEEN DECEIVED AND LIED TO AFTER FINDING THIS WEBSITE WITH THE NUMBER OF WINDOW PROBLEMS REPORTED AND NO ONE IN MY FAMILY WILL EVER RECOMMEND OR BUY ANOTHER HYUNDAI PRODUCT FROM A DEALERSHIP. *TR

DURING THE PAST 18 MONTHS, ALL FOUR WINDOWS IN MY 2000 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAS HAD THE WINDOW REGULATOR GO BAD AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. THESE WINDOWS WERE ENGINEERED TO FAIL. THE TOTAL COST TO REPLACE THEM WAS NEAR $1500. BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE, THE REAR WINDOW ROLLED DOWN DURING A RAINSTORM HERE IN FLORIDA. MY REACTION NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *JB

THE REGULATOR DEVICE BROKE IN THREE OF MY AUTOMATIC WINDOWS SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR. DURING THE TIME THE WINDOWS WERE BROKEN THE GLASS WAS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION, PROVIDING A RED FLAG FOR ANYONE WISHING TO STEAL MY CAR OR ITS CONTENTS. CURRENTLY MY 3RD WINDOW IS BROKEN AND THE DEALERSHIP WON'T LOOK AT IT FOR A FEW DAYS SO I HAVE TO HOPE NO ONE FINDS OUT IT IS BROKEN IN THE MEAN TIME.*JB
