Replying to: mariogp (Feb 15, 2008 10:18 pm) This winter, I experienced a similar event with my 2007 Elantra. Whenever ice/snow was present and the temperature was below freezing, I lost about 70-80% of my braking ability. I had the same "jelly" effect, but felt more like ice or snow was adhering to my rotors or pads, and that the brakes would not be fully applied even with my full weight on the petal.   I'm in contact with Hyundai and filed a report.   The problem is that once the temperature is above freezing, the brakes function fine. Hyundai was the car brought to a dealer for inspection, but the problem only exists under wintery, cold conditions. Nothing can be found.   I've had the problem on 4 different days, using driving skills to avoid disaster.

Replying to: getmtg (Mar 29, 2008 2:56 am) Get winter tires for winter conditions. They adhere better due to softer tread and more siping, thus providing traction to both go, and STOP. Factory equipped OEM all-season tires can get too hard in below freezing weather, causing loss of traction, especially for braking. On the other hand winter tires are too soft for summer driving, and will wear quickly and track poorly.

Replying to: getmtg (Mar 29, 2008 2:56 am) I need to clarify that by winter tires I mean snow and ice tires, like Nokian WR or Bridgestone Blizzak. Reluctantly you may rarely need them, but they're cheaper than getting into an accident. Replies to this message: getmtg (Mar 29, 2008 7:45 pm) too (Apr 03, 2008 3:25 am)

Replying to: canddmeyer (Mar 29, 2008 6:39 pm) Tires have absolutely nothing to do with my situation. I live in CT and have winter tires. I've been driving in snow for over 40 years. Since 199, I've purchased 4 Elantras, 1 Sonata, and 1 XG350L. I currently have 2 Elantras and the XG350L.   I've never had a problem with Hyundai's, ABS Brakes, or tires.   The car brakes perfectly when it is clear weather or above freezing. Snow and ice and below freezing temperatures cause my problems. Why? I have no clue, since it has never happened with my other 5 Hyundai's. Replies to this message: too (Apr 03, 2008 3:25 am)

Replying to: getmtg (Mar 29, 2008 7:45 pm) If it only happens when the temp. is below the freezing point of water then the issue is most likely moisture in your braking system.
#105 of 150 The car JUMPS when I park on a tiny hill... by braziliangirl Apr 03, 2008 (6:04 am)
So, hello everyone =) I just got my 2007 ( 11k miles ) Elantra about 3 weeks ago. Right on the first days we heard a weird noise on the back passanger side tire when braking slowly. Took to Hyundai, got fixed... After a week or so I thought I heard a minor noise onje day, but it went away... Nooow, at my work, there's a driveway a bit inclined, and twice already when I put on park, take foot off brake the car JUMPS/ROLL back (like 2,3 little jumps/rolls). Mind you that my other car NEVER did that...so, I am a bit concerned....   Does anyone have ANY idea what it could be?!   If it happens 1 more time Im taking to the shop, AGAIN =(   Thank you for your advice in advance!!!!!!   p.s.: the car is automatic transm.

Replying to: braziliangirl (Apr 03, 2008 6:04 am) Is this with or without the parking brake? If without, IMO the parking brake should be applied, on an incline.
#107 of 150 Hyundai Elantra (2008) Repair Question by supersteve311 May 13, 2008 (6:07 am)
Does anyone know what is required to replace the front grill on a 2008 Hyundai Elantra? Does the entire front nose section need to be removed? Any help will be appreciated.
#108 of 150 Small "beep" by fishmonger2 Jun 30, 2008 (1:30 pm)
Just had my 07 Elantra in for servicing and after leaving the lot a little "beep" was heard by my wife and I. The "beep" continues every 3-4 minutes. It sounds like a cell phone when its battery is going dead. Went back to the lot and while I was talking to the SM the"beep" happened to my wife. The engine at this time was turned off. Needless to say it never did it while the SM was listening. It did it one more time after leaving the lot. Never did find out? Anybody have an answer tot his? Otherwise like the car just fine.
