#102 of 107 Re: I'm a Lady, I Don't Know Cars - Help! [tkirkwood] by fushigi Aug 28, 2009 (4:29 am)
Replying to: tkirkwood (Aug 27, 2009 10:53 pm) I can't really help on the diagnostic codes, but any Hyundai dealer's service department should be able to input your car's VIN into their system and pull up records to see if the recall applies to your car and if so, was it already done. They should do this for free. They may do it over the phone but might require an in-person visit.
#103 of 107 2009 Elantra rumbling by al_zander Aug 29, 2009 (12:50 pm)
I'm not intimately familiar with this model of car yet, so it could be nothing. I just want to play it safe though, so I'll ask here first.   When accelerating from stop to about 40, there is a rumbling noise, which sounds like it's coming from right beneath the centre front floor, somewhere between the exhaust manifold and the cat. I've only listened to this from inside the car. The best I can describe it is, it is the type of sound you would hear on many GM cars like the Grand Am, Grand Prix and older Cutlass series cars. Sort of like a catalytic converter rumbling type sound. It only happens when in Drive though, not when revving in Neutral or Park.   Is this normal? Sorry, the last car I drove was much older and I'm not the best authority on what noise should and shouldn't be there in a new car.   Thanks in advance.
#104 of 107 Transmission issues by cstender Sep 30, 2009 (9:28 am)
We bought a '09 Elantra Touring Automatic and have owned it about a month now. Twice the vehicle has rolled when in park while making a popping sound. Then the transmission locked in park and would not release until the manual release was pushed. Is this something unique, or is this something that will be a common occurrence? The dealer is saying that this is normal operating procedures. They say that the parking break must be applied to keep the vehicle from moving while the transmission is in park. Any others experiencing the same issues? Replies to this message: backy (Sep 30, 2009 4:54 pm) cstender (Oct 05, 2009 5:57 am)

Replying to: cstender (Sep 30, 2009 9:28 am) If you parked on a grade (and I assume you did), it is pretty normal for a car to roll a slight distance until the transmission lock engages, with a sound accompanying the locking action. Your dealer is correct that to prevent the car from moving--and also to avoid damaging the transmission--you should apply the parking brake when parked on a grade.   How far does the car roll?

Replying to: backy (Sep 30, 2009 4:54 pm) I am not sure how far it would go. I stopped it before it ran into a car parked below us. The second time I stopped it after a few inches. Other than that and the transmission getting stuck in park one time, the car has been great. My wife drives it probably 60 miles to work and back each day. She baby's it and the computer is showing the car to be getting between 45 and 49 miles per gallon. If this is correct I am really impressed.
#107 of 107 Re: 2009 Elantra Transmission Concerns [optifluid] by 123tree Nov 26, 2009 (10:02 am)
Replying to: optifluid (Aug 17, 2009 6:19 am) On November 24, 2009 I had the automatic transmission replaced on my 2008 Hyundai Elantra with only 23,000 miles on it, at the Hyundai dealer, thank goodness for that offered warranty by Hyundai.   It had a sluggish ride and I would hear noises from under the hood and whenever I started the car and when I would put it into reverse, there would be a another type of noise from the shifting area. I took my car to the Hyundai service department, I told them that my car was sluggish up a hill and it's making a noise when I shift into park and reverse, the service guy drove it, took a look under the hood and noticed there was metal in the transmission fluid, and that's when they said the words "your car needs a new transmission" I just bout fell out of my seat. My baby now has a new transmission and she's peppy.   Hopes this was helpful.
