2006 Hyundai Elantra Complaint Log

2006 HYUNDAI ELANTRA VIN# [XXX] HAS HAD ERRATIC SIDE MIRROR CONTROL SINCE PURCHASED 9-06. MIRRORS MOVE 1/3 OF THE TIME IN UNPREDICTABLE DIRECTIONS, NOT ACCORDING TO UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT ARROWS ON CONTROL. IN ORDER TO RESET CONTROL TO BEHAVE AS DESIGNED, ONE MUST HOLD CONTROL DOWN SO MIRROR MOVES TO FULL EXTENT OF RANGE AND ROCKS BACK AND FORTH, WHICH CANNOT BE DONE EASILY IN TRAFFIC WITHOUT BLOCKING THE VIEW OF TRAFFIC. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND IT CONTINUES. REAR VIEW MIRROR ALSO IS A PROBLEM IN THAT IT FOGS WHEN INSIDE AND OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES DIFFER AND MUST BE WIPED WITH A CLOTH. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WE PURCHASED 2 HYUNDAI ELANTRAS 2006 MODELS IN MAY 2006 AS GIFTS FOR OUR DAUGHTERS. WITHIN 1 WEEK OR LESS, THE PHONE CHARGER IN THE CAR WAS NOT WORKING ON EITHER CAR. THEY REPLACED THE FUSES IN EACH VEHICLE AND TOLD US THAT WHEN WE CHARGE THE PHONES, THEY SHOULD BE PLUGGED IN PRIOR TO STARTING THE CAR IN ORDER TO KEEP THE FUSES FROM "BLOWING". 13 OCT 2006 - 1 OF MY DAUGHTERS BLEW A FUSE AND REPLACED IT PER THEIR PROTOCOL. SHE PLUGGED IN HER CELL PHONE TO CHARGE AND THE CRANKED HER CAR. THE FUSE BLEW AGAIN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WHEN WE HAVE 2 BRAND NEW 2006 ELANTRAS THAT ARE BOTH BLOWING FUSES. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PLUG IN A SIMPLE CELL PHONE CHARGER WITHOUT THE FEAR OF BLOWING THE FUSE EVERY TIME. *NM
