01 Elantra Control Arm by johngotts
Jun 01, 2009 (4:39 am)
Reply
Went to the local tire shop for a set of new front tires the other day. The tech called me over to show me something (ugh..), and as it turned out, I'm glad he did. The entire left control arm had rotted completely through, and I mean completely.
I couldn't believe it. The right one had been replaced before due to an earlier accident.
Found out after the repair the Hyundai just released a recall for this in April 09. But beware, this is a very, very dangerous situation and should be checked asap, especially here in the N.E. where there is plenty of salt on the roads in the winter.

Keyless remote programming by jesusfreak777

I have purchased a 2005 Elantra for my son. The dealership gave us 2 programmed remotes. I secured a third remote that will work with the vehicle but needs programmed. Hyundai service said their software will only allow 2 active programmed remotes at a time. I need to figure out how to get this third remote programmed so my wife, son, and I can all have access to his car. Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thank you and may God bless.

There is another discussion here for Hyundai Elantra, on Security Systems, that has some good info in it, for example:
 
http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f0f9c9e/6#MSG6
 
Unfortunately, that post confirms what you already heard about the fact that only 2 remotes can be set up to work with an 2005 Elantra at one time. The way I take care of this issue in my family of 3 drivers (4 when my oldest son is home from college) is hang all the key fobs on hooks by the door leading to the garage, so there's almost always one handy when someone needs to take a particular car. It doesn't always work, as fobs end up in purses or pockets, but it helps.

fast idle hyundai elantra 2001 by flasher1

I have a 2001 hyundai elantra which is now idling at a faster
than normal rpm. This produces the OBD2 code PO507 which
means "idle control system RPM higher than expected". Does
anyone know what could be causing this?

Does it idle consistently, or is it uneven?

The website replied to my inquiry regarding this that the key can possibly be "cloned" from an existing key by a locksmith that does key transponders.

Wheel painting and wipers, 2001 GLS by jimbeaumi
Jun 13, 2009 (1:44 pm)

As I said in an earlier post, my wheels are either faded or starting to slightly rust on the surface, noticeable through the wheel cover openings. When I have my state inspection and tire rotation on the 22nd, I will ask my mechanic to spray a coat of black on the wheels. Does anyone have suggestions on what is the best type or brand of wheel paint for this job? Since the rims are mostly covered, I don't need to be terribly picky, but I will always notice the fading. As we all know, it isn't a matter of just popping off wheel covers, since they are bolted on.
 
Also, has anyone noticed the speed of their wipers slowing down significantly in colder temps? I suggested it as a warranty replacement, but it isn't happening constantly so they won't cover it. Paying for it out of pocket would not be a big deal, as I put very little money into my car as it is. I might just as well replace the wiper arms at the same time, as they are starting to rust. Idea? Suggestions? Ballpark price for parts and labor?
 
Thanks all!

Any chance the wiper problem is really a battery or alternator problem? I remember that was the first sign I noticed of impending alternator failure in an old Honda I used to own. If the blower motor slows down or the headlights don't seem as bright as usual, those are also symptoms.

Battery is still strong, and the alternator is original, but the only time the wiper problem shows up is in the cold of winter or some of our recent cold and rainy spring mornings. Other times the wipers run as normal, and all other electrical seems normal.
 
I'm inclined to nip this in the bud before winter or before the wiper motor fails altogether.
