#3187 of 3260 06 Elantra squeeky wheels by 76chevyc10 Jul 13, 2009 (8:01 pm)
Im working on an 06 Hyundai Elantra. it was squeeking very loud and i noticed the brake pads were pretty small so I changed the pads. drove it around and now it still squeeks, but now it doesnt squeek when i brake. it just makes noise all the time while driving. very loud and annoying.   was thinking the rotors might be warped. wanted an opinion b/c money is tight. also, should i try and get them turned or just replace them.   also, owner hit a pole a few years back, was "repaired". noise from front wheels is recent. noise is not there when making sharp turns. wondering if maybe the wheel bearings could be shot?   any help would be great. this is the first foreign car ive ever taken a wrench to, so some detailed help would be awesome. bit of a change from my 76 chevy.

Replying to: 76chevyc10 (Jul 13, 2009 8:01 pm) I'm not sure about the '06 but when I had the brake pads changed on my wife's '01 last year we discovered the rotors needed to be turned. Problem was, it was a Saturday and the local shop didn't have anyone in to do it. New rotors were like $25 each (turning would have been something like $12 or 14 each) so for the minimal extra cost and to get the job done I went with new rotors.   Call your local parts joint. It doesn't hurt to ask.

Replying to: rstone1 (Aug 01, 2009 6:21 pm) There is a lever on the left side of the driver's seat, either on the floor or the dash, pull it. Replies to this message: rstone1 (Aug 01, 2009 7:01 pm) backy (Aug 02, 2009 9:56 am)

Replying to: rstone1 (Aug 01, 2009 7:01 pm) Well that is a problem! My 2004 GT doesn't have an emergency fuel filler door release in the trunk, so I expect yours doesn't either. It's possible the cable is broken. Hopefully not, as I can envision that being a tricky repair. If not, you might try squirting some silicone spray e.g. WD-40 (using the long thin applicator) into the area around the release pin, it might be stuck. I found the following on another forum: Another solution is to pull up normally on the lever and hold it up for about a second. The door will pop open.   Once you get the door open, you might try this (also from another forum):   Carefully bend the striker plate on the door very slightly away from the tongue that keeps the door closed. Also one person reported that the dealer changed the spring on the door and it fixed their problem.
#3193 of 3260 Ipod connection by rhy1 Aug 03, 2009 (3:08 am)
I just bought a 2009 elantra and can't get the ipod connection to read my daughters ipod. We are using the USB cable she uses to connect to the comupter. When first pluged in the radio reads "reading USB", then says something like USB empy. I know there is music on the ipod, so am not sure what we are doing wrong. I don't care so much, but my 16 year old is "devasted". Anyone know what I am doing wrong? Replies to this message: bpizzuti (Aug 03, 2009 4:22 am) rhy1 (Aug 03, 2009 4:26 am)

Replying to: rhy1 (Aug 03, 2009 3:08 am) You have to buy the iPod accessory cable. Replies to this message: rhy1 (Aug 03, 2009 4:26 am)

Replying to: bpizzuti (Aug 03, 2009 4:22 am) Thanks, I thought that may be it, but since it was mentioned when I bought the car, I thought I might have cone something wrong.
