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.

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. Jack

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. |

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?

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!
