Hyundai Elantra 1999

• Recall 7728 [USA]: This condition can cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
  Vehicle description: some sonata vehicles equipped with 2.5 liter v-6 engines and all elantra model vehicles may have experienced intermittent low-speed engine stalling, which could occur if the maf (mass air flow) sensor electrical signal is interrupted as a result of engine vibration transmitted to the maf sensor connector wiring harness.
  dealers will re-route the maf sensor connector wiring harness.

• Recall 9669 [USA]: Such slippage can cause premature deterioration of the friction element surfaces and could cause the vehicle not to accelerate, or not accelerate as expected, when the driver presses the accelerator pedal.
  Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. The automatic transmission pressure control solenoid valve seals do not remain sufficiently elastic, resulting in transmission fluid leakage. This leakage can result in reduced pressure application to the clutches, brake, and kickdown servo, allowing them to slip.
  dealers will replace the pressure control solenoid valve.

• Recall 2000236 [Canada]: Engine
  Certain vehicles may experience intermittent low speed engine stalling. This may occur if the mass air flow (maf) sensor electrical signal is interrupted as a result of engine vibration transmitted to the maf sensor connector wiring harness. Intermittent low speed engine stalling may result in a vehicle crash. Correction: dealers will replace the maf sensor connector and a portion of the wiring harness to incorporate a new relief loop in the harness to reduce the vibration that may be transmitted to the sensor connector.

• Recall 1999140 [Canada]: Powertrain
  On certain vehicles, the pressure control solenoid valve seals in the automatic transmission are not sufficiently elastic. This could result in automatic transmission fluid leakage at the pressure control solenoid valve interface to the valve body. This fluid leakage results in reduced pressure application to the internal transmission friction elements, which allows them to slip. Slippage of the friction elements can cause premature deterioration of the friction element surfaces and may cause the vehicle not to accelerate, or not to accelerate as expected, when the driver presses the accelerator pedal. Correction: a new pressure control solenoid valve seal will be installed in the transmission.

I have a 99 hyundai elantra 4 door. Last week the steering column caught on fire while it was being driven. More specifically, i was at the time in the hardee's drive thru when the smoke and flames started. I was able to get my car to roll out of the drive thru and into the parking lot. I have spoken to a few mechanics who say that it seems like it was a short in the electrical system in the steering wheel. It melted all of the steering column, dash, cracked the windshield with the heat, and other fire damage. The car is now totaled and undriveable. I am a single mother of 2 kids and this was my only means of transportation. Also about a year ago, i was in a head on collision that was not my fault, and the airbags did not deploy in the steering wheel. I had contacted hyundai afterwards, but they said that the car was fine and not to worry. I have no way to scan my documents, but i have a police report as well as several emails from hyundai from last year, as well as pictures of the damage.

Tl* the contact owns a 1999 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the vehicle jerked, lunged, and lost power. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the technician diagnosed the issue as an electrical failure. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the mechanic who diagnosed that the maf sensor connector needed to be re-routed. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 00v259001 (electrical system), but the vin was not included. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 91,000.

My vehicle has been stalling for more than a year. The mass airflow sensor read as bad and i have replaced it twice. I just found out that there was a recall sep 11, 2000. Nhtsa campaign id number: 00v259001 . I purchased the vehicle used several years after the recall was in effect. When i e-mailed hyundai, they responded back that there no open campaigns on my vehicle. How do i get the problem resolved before there is a serious accident from the vehicle stalling. *tr

The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 164,000.

I have a 1999 hyundai elantra with 128,750 mi. At. The evaporative emissions canister has become disconnected from the body of the car where it is bolted which is underneath the trunk behind the left rear wheel due to the bracket rusting and breaking due to inadequate steel used which does not resist salt and improper design for not placing the canister in a protected area of the car or or placing shrouding around the canister to shield the salt spray from the road/rear wheel. The result is the pipes from the fuel tank which convey fuel vapors have disconnected from the evap canister and trigger a P0422 (check engine light) which is a leak in the evap system which means the car will not pass ny inspection. *js
