MY 1999 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GL SEDAN HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT (BUT WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY) LOW/"IDLE" SPEED ENGINE STALLING. THIS PRESENTS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN THE CAR STALLS AT A STOPLIGHT OR WHEN SLOWING TO TURN IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. MOST STALLS ARE OCCURRING AT LESS THAN 25MPH. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" EPISODES DURING THESE OCCURRENCES. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS/REPAIR...THE COMPUTER HISTORY SHOW MAF SENSOR BUT NO FAILURE. ADDITIONALLY, THE 'CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" DOES NOT REMAIN "ON". I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AFTER READING RECALL/SERVICE BULLETINS RELATED TO THE MAF SENSOR WIRING. THEY ALSO PERFORMED THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC THAT INDICATED MAF SENSOR ISSUES IN THE COMPUTER HISTORY. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ONE OF THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA/SONATA VIN CODES. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME INFORMATION FROM YOU REGARDING THE RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THE HYUNDAI RECALL/CAMPAIGN...

COMPAIGN ID 00V259001 IS FOR LOW SPEED STALLING ON 1999 HYUNDAI ELANTRA MODELS WITH CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS AND RELATES TO THE WIRING WITH THE MASS AIR FLOW CENSOR. I HAVE A 1999 HYUNDAI ELANTRA THAT IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT DOES NOT FIT WITHIN THE VIN RANGE SO THEY ARE NOT COVERING IT. I FEEL THIS CAMPAIGN SHOULD BE EXPANDED FURTHER TO COVER ALL OF THESE MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE VEHICLE ALSO STALLED WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 50 MPH. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS 99V178000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) AND 00V259001 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING), ALTHOUGH THE FAILURES WERE IDENTICAL. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 75,000.

PURCHASED 1999 HYUNDAI ELANTRA IN APRIL OF 1999. ON 1/15/2001 VEHICLE DIED AND WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. TRANSMISSION REPLACED. MILEAGE AT THE TIME-33,663. ON APRIL 24, 2008, I WAS ADVISED BY MECHANIC THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. VEHICLE DOES NOT PROPERLY SHIFT INTO GEAR. ENTIRE CAR SHAKES IF DRIVEN OVER 50 MPH. CAR SPEEDS UP WHEN ACCELERATOR PRESSED. WHEN I NOTICED THERE WAS A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL, IN REGARDS TO THE TRANSMISSION, I CONTACTED DEALER WHO REFUSED TO REPLACE PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE. WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL DID NOT INVOLVE MY VIN. CONTACTED HYUNDAI CORPORATE OFFICE AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. VEHICLE NOW HAS 134,000 MILES ON IT. RECALL ID #99V178000. NEITHER DEALER NOR HYUNDAI WILL HONOR. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN FILED REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ACCELERATING PROPERLY WHEN THE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. INSTEAD OF GAINING SPEED, THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, HE DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 99V178000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. HE WAS INFORMED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL; THEREFORE, THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,000.
