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.
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?
I own a 2001 Elantra and I have the same problem with that musty smell. Furthermore the windows fog up with some sort of moldy looking stuff. Have you had any further problems with your car. I have had quite a few.
I have a 2003 Sonata with the same bad musty smell. The dealer can't seem to fix it. What is it???
I have a 2001 Elantra GT. I also had the musty smell in the AC. This problem is not uncommon for a lot of cars (depending on the humidity where you live). I took a can of Lysol and turn-on the AC with the outside vents open. With the AC fan set on high hold the Lysol can next to the outside vents and spray in for 10 seconds at a time. This should get rid of the mold in the AC. Another way to avoid the moldy smell is to run the heater thru the vents for a few minutes AFTER using the AC. That will burn the mold out.
I have the same musty smell in my 2001 Elantra. It seems to smell more when you have the fresh air vent on. I use clothes dryer softening sheets in the interior. Other than that it has been a great car. I just upgraded to 15x6.5" alloy wheels & also added a dual air horn .Have replaced the stock air cleaner with a K&N .Plan on putting headers on next for more HP.
