Update: Electrical interference in the AM radio - 2005 Elantra
 

Hi all,

Just wanted to let the group know that Hyundai has fixed this problem.
Don't expect the dealer to volunteer details on this...according to my
work order, the parts alone were listed in excess of $1,000.00. The
dash controller and the cruise control were replaced, so the labor is
rather extensive as well. Maybe hyundaitech can add more about the
official status of this repair. Mine was covered, hope that yours will
be too.

My list of problems, current and fixed, at only 7000 miles, 2005
Elantra:

1. AM radio virtually useless - fixed (see above).
2. Air conditioning non-functional - compressor replaced.
3. Intermittent shift problems, auto transmission, 1st to 2nd gear -
Hyundai won't even look at this, for reasons that totally elude me.
4. Heater/defroster motor extremely noisy - need to get this in to the
shop.
5. Brakes moan on release, intermittent. Sounds like no anti-rattle
paste? - need to get this in to the shop.
6. Safety recall - to be scheduled.

At this rate, the car will be almost completely rebuilt by 60,000
miles.

Cheers
