Replying to: jimbeaumi (Apr 11, 2009 2:17 pm) I know I had that trim piece replaced on the driver's side under warranty (the bumper-to-bumper warranty) on my '01 GLS years ago; had the same problem with it. The dealership had to order the part. They should be able to do the same for you, if you want to replace it yourself.   Re the plugs and wires... had they been replaced before? If not, then it probably wasn't a bad idea to replace them now. Of course, the service tech should have waited for your approval to do it!   My sister still has my 2001 GLS and tells me it's holding up great, just passed 60k a little while ago (she doesn't drive much). Needs a little body and paint work due to a side-swipe from my son a few years ago that I touched up, but it was not a "pro" job at all (although I did use made-to-order paint).

Replying to: backy (Apr 11, 2009 3:46 pm) Thanks, and I ought to order that part very, very soon. From a different dealership, of course.   Yes, the plugs and wires had been done, which is why I was ticked off about it. The service writer's attitude was just the icing on the rotting cake, which is a shame because he replaced a very pleasant writer who was let go. Dumb decision.   It's a good thing I am not yet ready to take on a car payment, because as before, I want an Elantra SE, an Elantra Touring, and a Sonata GLS, AND I want to see this car hit the 200K mark. At this point, the decision's been made for me.
#5398 of 5467 muffler by erg135 Apr 12, 2009 (9:48 pm)
I got an 02 Elantra 2.0, and my friend got me a 4 1/2" motech muffler. I went to the shop they put it on and when I drove out I noticed a great deal of lag. I was wondering if that was because theres not enough back pressure and the mufflers to big. if I had a turbo it would be a different story but all I got is a stock engine.   any suggestions on if I should get a smaller one? Also what size are stock mufflers on lantras?   please help??????
#5399 of 5467 steering wandering problem by perenet Apr 16, 2009 (5:36 pm)
I have a 2001 elantra. Lately when I accelerate, the car pulls left. Once I ease off the gas, the car wanders to the right. It's significant enough that in cruise control, it's almost impossible to maintain a straight line as the engine engages and eases off. I expect some pull when the front wheels accelerate but this is excessive. Any ideas on possible cause? Replies to this message: jlflemmons (Apr 16, 2009 7:31 pm) perenet (Apr 19, 2009 12:03 pm)

Replying to: perenet (Apr 16, 2009 5:36 pm) Front end alignment, or a bad front tire. Either one will cause the problem you describe. Quick test would be to swap the tires front to back and see if the problem changes. You didn't mention the mileage on the car, but if it is above 60K it would be worth checking the steering and suspension components for wear. Replies to this message: perenet (Apr 19, 2009 12:03 pm)

Replying to: omthk (Apr 17, 2009 3:38 am) i'm not sure but if you take out the alarm fuse it might stop, not sure though.or just take it in the dealer and they'll reconfigure your system

Replying to: jlflemmons (Apr 16, 2009 7:31 pm) the front tires have a year on them (not many miles). I had it aligned when the tires were installed a year ago. The rear tires are older and are more worn (but still well within acceptable tread). Car has 90K+ miles.   I'll take your advice to have steering and suspension checked.   Thanks.

Replying to: mpgman (Mar 05, 2005 4:55 pm) Hi there,   I am particularly interested in your comment about the Wire Harness. Can you tell me if you have any pictures of the corrosion, and or copies or the repair work? I am a 2007 owner of the Elantra and while my year was not represented in the recall, it appears that I experienced some of the same issues that the prior models experienced. I am looking to speak with any owner who had wire harness issues on the Elantra models from "01-06" Please contact me at mom2onegurlgmail.com, if you are willing to talk to me about this.   Thanks in Advance for your time,   Chrystle
