The avg of all cars was 208 http://www.jdpower.com/corporate/news/releases/pdf/2008115.pdf In 2007 they were at 228 pp 100 cars with the avg being 216. http://www.autoblog.com/photos/j-d-power-2007-vehicle-dependability-study/346679- / Hyundai hasn't been near the bottom of the list in years. All the data proves Hyundai is getting better all the time. I don't know where this resistance is coming from. Is it that hard to get away from the Hyundai of the 90's? People should be appuading Hyundai for make a good car at a decent price. Not running them down as if they still make Excels.

I think it's time to stop feeding the trolls. If they don't own an Elantra, then they should keep their opinions and posts to themselves.  Now.. My Elantra is at the dealer right now for the recall. They say it should take two hours to fix.

Replying to: 3kidsinback (Aug 29, 2008 4:08 pm) So, now today I pick up my car as I left it yesterday for my free oil change and the new fuel pump. Also, I have had some problems in the last 2 weeks losing power on hills. Can't get it over 50 miles an hour. Reported this to Hyundai and the dealership. Also, cruise control starting reseting itself to higher then what I had it set. Very strange. Happened twice. So, I told Hyundai about this and the dealer when I made my appt. Ok...so last week while parked in my son's driveway my headlights came on, my cruise control light came on and my cruise control set light came on. Called dealer as I already had an appt. for yesterday. They advised me not to use cruise control until they checked it out. Again called Hyundai, and notified the investigator who opened up the investigation which resulted in the fuel pump recall. He asked me to report it on the safety site, and email him on this weekend what they did about the cruise control. He also told me that AUGUST 19, 2008 Hyundai notified his department they were going to start a fuel pump recall. That is the day I took my car to the dealership, but giving the dealer benefit of doubt I don't think they would know that day Hyundai officiated a fuel pump recall as they have to get a bullitin and if they got a bullitin they would have changed my fuel pump that day. So, I called to see if they found anything wrong with the cruise control. They think it is related to the fuel pump. And the same with the loss of power on hills. I will find out all when I pick up my car as hubby is taking his for a free oil change today and we will drive in his car to get mine, leave his for a few hours and do some shopping in town and then go back. I drove his car all week as he didn't want me to use mine with the cruise control problem and you can feel the difference in the way the car drives with the new fuel pump he has. There is definitely a difference. So, there is a new report filed and it is by me.

Replying to: 3kidsinback (Sep 06, 2008 6:52 am) You know, I feel the same way. The cruise control I think would be electrical considering the lights came on too when I was in park. They told me they couldn't find any error codes relating to the cruise control or why it did what it did. But I feel the difference now with the new fuel pump. We have a mountain where I live and you have it on both sides. This is the place where I was losing power the last 2 weeks. Well, I flew over that mountain last night going home. And since I drove hubby's car for the week I could feel the difference driving. So, maybe Backy can tell us about the electrical stuff. Is the cruise control an electrical component or would it be part of the fuel pump which we know is electrical too.
