Elantra 4-cyl

  • 31,000 miles
The contact stated when car had 20,000 miles on it started having electrical problems. The SRS light came on, and it was making a funny sound at 31,000 miles. She said different lights on the dashboard would come on, but she was not sure which ones. The car ran out of oil, and the consumer stated there was no light to come on to indicate the car was low on oil. The car had 118,000 miles on it at that time. The contact has to replace the engine.
