| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We bought the vehicle in nov 1997. there was a hesitation pretty much from the start...really apparent at 7581. we bought it back to the dealer in march 1998...they attempted to repair it. it continued to be a nuisance...we contacted the dealer again. we brought the vehicle in to be repaired on june 23, 1999. since then the spark plugs have failed 4 times (each time failure was on plug #1 and #3). it is now july 27, 1999. the ignition wires were replaced july 02... one of the wires replaced on july 02 was replaced again july 07. we have replaced the fuel filter, had a throttle body service and a fuel injection service ...all to no avail....the problem is worse than ever. the hesitation occurs most often when the weather is at high temperatures , but can also happen at other times. i noticed the elantra dohc engine had electrical system wiring...dohc spark plug wire routing problems for a number of years. i wonder if that's our problem ...our accent gt is also a dohc engine ! |
