Have a 2003 Sonata with a power antenna and the AM reception has become very
poor the last few months. Has anyone else experienced this problem? What is
the fix?

It's a common problem with the Elantra. Replacing the stock antenna
cable with a one-piece cable seems to help in many cases. Grounding the
radio chassis to the car body (the firewall or something bolted to it)
may also help.
