#21 of 3260 air conditioner by erk3 Sep 01, 2001 (7:10 am)
The air conditioner on my elantra makes a high pitched wine when it first comes on and then about every 30-40 seconds after thatit reoccurs for about 2 seconds. It is very audible and can be heard over the radio.
#22 of 3260 Strange Noises by grr02 Sep 03, 2001 (6:08 pm)
I have a 2001 Elantra GT and it has about 2,000 miles on it. Lately I have been hearing a strange buzzing noise near the headliner when I accelerate. One more noise that I just recently been hearing is when I first warm up the car and haven't used my AC for a long time and turn it on it makes a loud grinding noise. So I turn it off right away, this is the second time that I have heared the grinding noise. Any of you guys have those problems? I will take it to the dealership for a check up and I will let you all know.
#23 of 3260 Buzzing noise and A/C noise by backy Sep 03, 2001 (6:56 pm)
Re buzzing noise from headliner: that happened to my GLS but it turned out to be my wire-rimmed sunglasses rattling in the holder. I don't recall, does the GT have the sunglasses holder? Could also be from the sunroof mechanism, if you have that. Re A/C noise, mine made some noise once after not driving for several days, but that was it. What is a "long time" for you? Since it's happening more than once it would not hurt to have the dealer take a look.

My GT doesn't have a sunglasses holder. That part is occupied by the controls for the sunroof. A long time for me is when my car is parked the whole day at work. Well I have scheduled an appointment with my dealership and I will post what ever they find. Thanks!
#25 of 3260 Fog by dorf47 Sep 10, 2001 (3:57 pm)
Had a strange thing happen today. Have an 01 w/about 5700 on it. It rained very hard for a short period in the late afternoon. Then the sun came out and everything got hot and steamy until a cold front moved in, and temps began to drop. I came out from work to find that the driver's side windows were completely fogged over, on the inside! I actually could see the "ghost" of where the sticker had been. Any ideas as to why this happened and is this a cause for concern?

#27 of 3260 2001 elantra gt FUEL GAUGE by yardbird Sep 19, 2001 (12:08 am)
Hi folks! Please help.I now have about 900 miles on my Elantra GT and really love the car!My only problem has been the FUEL GAUGE and the digital readout. Around my 3rd gas fill-up I noticed that the FUEL GAUGE would not register FULL,even after I topped the tank off.The corresponding digital readout seemed to follow the GAUGE indicator...showing a partially full tank.Example: when the GAUGE was working properly...FULL...the digital readout indicated approx 487 miles to use. After the problem began with my last fill-up, the FUEL GAUGE indicated less than full with the digital readout reading approx 350 miles to use. I read somewhere that someone with a similar problem began filling-up with the ignition on the ACC mode.He stated that this took care of the problem.Has anyone else had this FUEL GAUGE situation? I have the warrenty,I know,but I was told the vehicle would have to be checked overnight at the dealer.I'm hoping I can remedy this myself. Replies to this message: moparkiller (Nov 19, 2005 2:24 pm)
#28 of 3260 Elantra GT :: harsh suspension and engine noise by wikid74 Sep 26, 2001 (9:49 pm)
Got my Elantra GT 5-speed a month ago...very happy with it! Except for a couple of things.   1) After I drive the car for a while (15-30 minutes), the engine makes a very harsh noise when cruising in 1st or 2nd gear. Sounds like there is a whole lot of excessive friction. I know that I only have about 700 miles on it and sometimes new engines need some time to "break in", but the noise is concerning.   2) I've just noticed this problem recently...when I go over sharp bumps (both at high and low speeds)...the suspension (especially the rear) makes a very loud "thunk". With the firmer sport suspension on the GT, I should expect a little more tire and suspension kickback when I go over bumps...but this a totally differnet kind of noise...it sounds like there is something loose back there.   If you've had any of these problems, I would really appreciate your feedback. I will be taking the car to the dealer soon, but with your feedback I'll be able to better explain these problems to the technician.   Thanks!
#29 of 3260 Shift Problem by rjklacik Oct 16, 2001 (9:30 am)

#30 of 3260 Tranny Troubles by wyst Oct 17, 2001 (11:02 am)
Hi, we have a 2000 GLS with 16K miles on it now. Itis back in the shop and having it's THIRD transmission being put in it.   It started back around 9K when it would not shift well from 2nd to 3rd. It would rev out all the way to the redline and then bang into 3rd, so they replaced tranny. Now it was shifting very hard from 1st to 2nd, they inspect the car and find it was blowing tranny fluid out it's vent. So... another transmission is going in.   We are really worrying here, I mean 3 trannys in any car is a LOT, but for one that still has not passed 17K?!   Does anyone have any similar experiences or know of any info about their trannys, and also what would you do if you were in our situation?   Tanx.   **Edit** This is the second car we have bought from this dealer, and believe it or not, before this had happened we were seriously considering getting the new Sonata. (we are selling our Tracker)
