I had the same condition on a Japanese car about 3 yrs ago. No hydraulic leaks. I did replace the brake master cylinder but did not fix the problem. The problem was the ABS unit called the HECU (hydraulic & electronic control unit) of the Antilock Braking System. One of the normally closed valve on the HECU was stuck open. Was ok after replacement of the HECU.

My wife's '01 experienced the same issue with left side (right previously replaced due to an accident). I buffed it out with a buffing wheel on my hand held drill and different polishing rouges. Same thing I have do to to my '95 Dodge Neon about every three years.

#40 of 87 fuel stalling by timbo217

My daughters 2005 elantra keeps having a issue with fuel. Everytime you fill the car up it stalls out for the first 50 or so miles. I have taken it to the dealer but they say there is nothing wrong. I thought at first that she had got bad gas and tried gas treatment. But it has happened numerous times and she has got gas at different locations. Any help would be great

You might take the car to Autozone and have them scan the computer for free, for trouble codes. If nothing shows up, I guess I'd try this---fill the car up then take it in and have a shop test the fuel pressure in the fuel rail and see if the reading (in PSI) is either too high or too low. This would indicate a possible fault in fuel delivery, such as fuel pump or better yet fuel pressure regulator.
 
I'm also thinking of some issue perhaps with the evaporative emissions system during fill up but I'm a bit lost on making the connection to the symptoms described. Perhaps someone here could carry this train of thought a bit further than I can.

I had the codes checked and all was good. I guess the next step is to have the fuel pressure checked.

My 2007 Elantra seems to sway from side to side. I have new tires on the car and the car has recently been aligned. Air pressure is good in all tires. What type of things may be the issue?

I have a 04 Elantra that I'm having problems with. I had the check engine light code ran and it was Code 443 Evap Vent Solenoid. My local mechanic is a bit stuck on how to repair, said hoses seem fine, nothing clogged. Anyone had this problem?

can you take a photo and post it? Hard to say what exactly you are talking about. Could be oxidation, clear coat damage, chemical damage, etc.

#47 of 87 05Elantra - Power lock won't work on frnt Passenger door by elletucker

Jul 05, 2009 (1:10 pm)

Just noticed yesterday that my 05 Elantra frnt passenger door lock will not automatically lock or unlock with the buttons or keyless remote. Therefore if that door is unlocked when using the remote to ARM the alarm the alarm won't chirp that it is armed but it really is and then when you go to open passenger door, which won't auto lock, you set off alarm. Does anybody have any suggestions as to what might be wrong and how I can fix it myself??
