2004 Hyundai Elantra GT review from North America
"This car is trash"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Practically everything has fallen apart on this car. I plan to return it as a lemon.
The check engine light comes on with codes that seem to be almost randomized.
Oxygen sensor failed.
MAP and MAF sensors failed.
Piston misfires.
Clutch needed replacement only after 6000 miles.
Radiator cracked in the summer.
General comments?
Do not buy a hyundai. These cars are obviously garbage and I should have listened to my wife when she told me to not get one.
