THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I HAVE NOTICED EVER SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE THAT THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION GRINDS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR EVERYTIME, I HAVE ALSO READ ONLINE THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM , SO WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, HYUNDAI THEMSELVES HAVE ALREADY ADMITTED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS A WEAK SYNCRO THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM, THIS WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO THE TRANSMISSION CEASING AND SOMEONE POSSIBLY BEING KILLED, SO WHY NO RECALL, DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FIRST? *TR

ON MY 2006 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GLS 4CYL ENGINE THERE IS A ISSUE WHICH I HAVE BROUGHT UP 3 TIMES NOW TO HYUNDAI & ALL THEY KEEP DOING IS RESETTING THE COMPUTER & TRANS RETRAIN RESET. THE ISSUE I AM HAVING IS AT A STEADY SPEED OFF 25-30 MILES HOUR I GET A VERY BAD BUCKING & JERKING EFFECT THE LOSS OF POWER SHORTLY AFTER THE BUCKING & JERKING HAPPENS THAT THE CAR LOOSES POWER SOME MUCH SO IT DOESN'T WANT TO MOVE FAST ENOUGH TO KEEP UP ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN COMING OFF A OFF RAMP MERGING INTO THE HIGHWAY TRAFFIC TWO TIMES THE LAST TIME WAS TODAY THIS ALL HAPPENED AGAIN & I COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO MOVE FAST ENOUGH TO FLOW WITH THE REGULAR TRAFFIC THAT I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A 18 WHEELER TRUCK TODAY. THIS PROBLEM IS MAKING THE CAR NOT SAFE TO DRIVE & I AM AFRAID IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT LIKE HYUNDAI WANTS ME TO DO IN THIS CONDITION TO TRY TO BRING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS I MIGHT GET HIT BY SOMEONE & POSSIBLE KILLED. THIS ISSUE IS A SERIOUS OPERATING CONDITION THAT WARRANTS SOMEONE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM & THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FROM OTHER HYUNDAI ELANTRA OWNERS OF THE SAME YEAR OR NEWER I HAVE READ ONLINE & HYUNDAI HASN'T ADDRESSED IT WELL ENOUGH OR COME UP WITH A FIX AS OF YET. TELLING A CUSTOMER TO KEEP DRIVING THE CAR IN THIS CONDITION IS NOT SAFE JUST SOME THE MECHANICS CAN GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WITH A CODE TO GO ON. THIS CAR ALMOST ALWAYS FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO LOSS TOTAL ENGINE POWER & JUST CUT OUT ON ME WHILE I AM DRIVING SOMEWHERE & I WILL GET HIT. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR AT 4400 MILES SHORTLY THERE AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AFTER REPEATED TRIPS TO THE DEALER THEY REPLACED IT. SOON THERE AFTER THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING, AGAIN, REPEATED TRIPS TO THE DEALER THEY THEN REPLACED THE SPEED SENSOR AND MODULE FOR TRANSMISSION. THE NEXT DAY THE TRANS AND SPEEDOMETER WERE NOT WORKING PROPER AGAIN, THEN THE CAR IS BACK THERE TODAY, THERE TELLING ME THE TRANS IS FINE, AND THAT NOW THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS BEING REPLACED, I HAVE BEEN IN AND OUT WITH THIS CAR, ITS FROM NORTH DAKOTA AND BELONGED TO A KEITH OLSON, COME TO FIND OUT THAT THIS CAR MAY HAVE BEEN IN A HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT, WITH KEITH OLSON. PLEASE HELP ANYWAY YOU CAN. ITS UNDER WARRANTY TILL 60,000 AND THE HISTORY SINCE I HAVE HAD IT, IS NOT GOOD, INCLUDING ONE TIME THE BRAKES FAILED. *TR
