I own a 2008 Elantra. I have NOT noticed such a sound, but when I drive today, I'll roll down my windows and listen carefully. If I notice something significant, I'll post it. I think it's wise to have the dealership take a look.

Thanks for your reply. It's a pretty obvious sound when I am in the car with the windows rolled up (stereo not on) that I have only heard while parallel parking and pulling out of spaces, so if you haven't noticed it, your car most likely doesn't have the same 'problem'. Lucky you! We will be checking it out this weekend.

If the dealer caused this problem, you should bring it back to them. Its posible that they made an error doing the service or the recall. What you describe is one of the symptoms of a MAF (mass airflow) sensor problem. If they made an error, throwing parts will not fix the problem. Good luck.

If this happens after vehicle has sat for a while (like overnight) your problem may be carbon build up in the engine. What happens is when you first start the engine, injected fuel is absorbed by the carbon build up during the first few seconds of engine starting. Engine sputters or dies. Have your mechanic Decarb the engine. It should be fine after that otherwise its something else. If it works., avoid using cheap gas. Use only TOP TIER certified gas. Goggle top tier gas so you will understand. Good luck.

2004 electric windows both off track????

Hi, I believe the glue that holds the window has come loose. I had a problem with this when it was under warranty about a year ago and had it fixed. I seem to remember them saying that it was glue or silicone? A few days ago the driver window let go and does not close or open properly then within two days the passenger goes. Is this something my boyfriend and I can fix? I had a look through the forum to see if there were any related posts but didnt see anything that described what I need to do. If we can fix it does anyone have instructions and what glue/silicone is used and where to get it. Thanks soooo much in advance to anyone that responds.

Its possible that what you are hearing is the noise coming from the motor of the electric power steering. I bought a 2008 Elantra 3 weeks ago and that is what I hear. The noise however sounds more of a whining sound similar to a dentist drill. You could easily duplicate the sound by quickly turning the steering wheel left and right several times. This is the same noise I also hear from Mazda 3 vehicles. This is normal noises coming from the electric power steering and it will not go away. If you say it is a groaning/creaking sound then its time to take it to your dealer.

Not sure about the glue used, but assuming that is all that has happened, you might check with a local auto glass shop and see what they would charge to do the repair. This is something they see regularly and would have the correct adhesives and expertise to do it quickly and correctly.

We took the car in (to a Hyundai dealer closer to where I live just so they could have a looksy, not where I bought the car - we were planning to take it there this weekend if service station closer to us told us something drastic) and wouldn't you know that car didn't have a sound to make whatsoever! We attempted to mimic the maneuvers, drove around with a mechanic, and NOTHING. The mechanic did mention that since it is a new car and since we don't drive it every day (we live in a large city and use public transport to commute to work), it might tend to make a couple of little sounds at first, but once the car is out on the road, it's fine. This seemed to be the case. I think the car just likes to be driven. And this is fine for me because I like to drive it! Thanks to all for your responses.

2002 Elantra GT Warranty Service Experience

Thought I'd "vent" a bit and share my service experience at Intermountain Hyundai in SLC, UT. Took the car in to have the parking brake looked at. Problem was the brake would not engage and hold the car. I had checked the rear pads, adjusted the brake cable at the brake handle/rear of center console. I determined the problem was in the disc brake caliper. Something had seized up. Took it to the dealer. They told me the p-brake just needed adjusting and charged me $30. I was skeptical and rightly so. When I picked up the car the p-brake was so tight the car would struggle to move. I didn't even leave the service parking lot. Went back in and told the guy the p-brake is now adjusted way to tight. This happened three times within 45 minutes! Each time I had to go back in and tell them, "this is still not right". Finally after nearly two more hours, the service writer says, "Looks like the brake caliper is seized up". Duh! I'm miffed 'cuz they charged me 30 bucks for a bogus adjustment and tried to send me on my way THREE TIMES with a malfunctioning parking brake! Now, the caliper will be covered under warranty but I'm not quite done yet. I asked the service writer for a refund of the $30 bogus adjustment charge. He says, "How 'bout we pay for a rental car for a day until the warranty repair is done instead of give you a refund?" I'm thinking, fine. I had wasted enough time. Then I realized when I got home that what he had offered me with the rental was something I was already entitled to under the terms of the Hyundai Warranty Contract! I find it hard to believe that this service writer didn't already know that. I will be demanding a refund of the adjustment fee when I pick up the car today. OK. Done venting. Man, you really gotta stay on your toes with these guys.

You must have a special warranty. To my knowledge, service rental cars are not included in the standard Hyundai warranty. That is at the discretion of the dealership--some provide them, some don't. Also, did you purchase the car after June 2003? Otherwise the bumper-to-bumper warranty would have expired, and brake components would not be covered.
