| After 3 months of owning a 2008 Elantra with automatic transmission, I began to notice a strange metallic clicking sound only when initially accelerating after car was put into drive. Subsequent accelerations from a stop were normal. this would sometimes happen when car was put into reverse under same circumstances. I went to dealer and technician road tested car and told me the axle on driver's side had too much "play" in it and would have to be replaced. New axle was ordered and installed under warantee. After 3 days of normal operation, car is doing the same thing. Recalled dealer and was told this is not a safety issue but that Hyundai does have service bulletin on this issue. Has anyone else had same problem with 2007 or 2008 elantra? Should I just ignore it or make a bigger issue out of it? Thanks for any advice | |

Okay, here's the situation, As we drove to the store and found parking, I wne to shift the car from Drive to Park, and found that the shift control would not go to Park. I steped on the brake as I always do, and it still would go to Park, It took A lot of force to force the car into park. Finally parked and car off, I restarted the car and tried to reverse, So as I always, turn the car on with foot onthe brake and proceeded to move the shift from Park to Reverse, it was locked up, the shift lever would not go to Reverse. It tool both hands to move the lever to reverse and then to drive. Car runs fine, brakes work, but this evening, when I step on the brakes, the brakes lights in the back do not come on. There is brake fluid inthe car, and it was just in for its 18,000 mile service a month ago. Just hit 19,000, any suggestion would be helpful. I will take to dealership Monday morning. This should all be under the 100,000 miles coverage right?

Replying to: allan2157 (Oct 25, 2008 7:00 pm) 2nd problem could be the brake light switch. The brake switch also locks/unlocks the shifter lever solenoid. You will not be able to move the shifter out of park if the switch is bad. It's just like not stepping on the brake pedals. 3rd problem could be damaged shift lock mechanism. Forcing the shifter when it is locked will break things in the shifter mechanism. There is an emergency release just in front of the shifter lever. Pop the cover with a small screw driver. Inside the hole, push the lever with the screw driver. While pushing on the lever, move the shifter out of park. Good luck. |
