2001 Hyundai Elantra GLS review from North America
"A nice, reliable car for an affordable price."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front wheel bearing was replaced under warranty at 50,000 miles. There is a musty smell from the air conditioning and heating system. The dash is starting to make a vibrating noise. The steering wheel vibrates at speeds over 60 mph.
General comments?
The car has a lot of power for a 4 cylinder. The interior is spacious for a small car. The air conditioning and heater system work great except for the musty smell that I can't get out. I would like to know if anyone else has this probleme with the ventilation system?
