| I don't own that generation of Elantra so I don't think I can help you on the dome light. You've already checked the dome light switch. Just have the dealer take a look at it next time you are there for an oil change etc. | |

I have a 2007 Hyundai Elantra with 34,000 miles that needs new transmission. It stared with the car shuttering between 35-40 mph then sometimes it would be like it missed a gear around 35-40mph. Took it to the dealer they said transmission fluid need changed. Had it done. Put 400miles on it. went back to the dealer still doing same thing. Now they say it needs a new transmission. It will be replaced under warranty. I was wondering if any one else is having this kind of trouble with this model or maybe this is just a rarer occurrence for this model. |

The OEM battery on my 2004 Elantra is failing. Can I change it myself, or do I have to go to a dealer? Reason I ask, is that I read somewhere that Hyundai has some peculiar design which allows only a very limited number of batteries. What size/type/code battery do I need, and where can I buy it? And can I install it myself without some outlandish tools? Thank you!

Looks like I'm out of luck - the mysterious super complicated Hyundai battery  Anyhow, it looks like I'm better off not trying to do anything as fancy-pants as changing a battery on a Hyundai Elantra, and I'd better sheepishly turn up begging at a dealership. I'm very grateful that info on putting gas in this vehicle is readily available - at least *something* is userfriendly here

Replying to: PatMatHat (Mar 04, 2009 6:50 pm) FYI, they are the only one that lists one for that vintage Elantra. I checked Advance, Napa, and Interstate, so it is a difficult to find battery. |

Replying to: PatMatHat (Mar 04, 2009 6:50 pm) Sears Auto Service Center Wal-mart (I think their batteries were just top-rated by CR) Batteries Plus Fleet Farm I know there's others, but that's a start. Or just go to the dealer, plunk down your money, and it's done! |

Thank you very much, tenpin288 (btw. what does that name refer to... just curious ). I love having the battery numbers and code on hand! Backy - you are right of course, but I'm one of those savages who relies on the web, and I abhor the telephone... kids these days And yes, plunking down the money at a dealer sounds very tempting - gotta do my part to stimulate the economy... stupid dollars at work I changed batteries on my toyotas, no issues, and I guess I though it'd be the same with the Elantra. No biggie. Love it here, and thank you both very much!
