Shortly after delivery of the vehicle, I noticed a speedometer error of 5-7 mph. I tested this with two different radar guns and brought it to the dealers attention. Dealer verified error and contacted tech line. Tech line said this was normal. This is not normal and no parts were replaced per Hyundai tech line's findings. Problem is ongoing and continuous.

Elantra 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60 miles
I purchased a 2007 hundai Elantra in January 2007. My daughter also purchased the same vehicle. We both noticed that when driving the speed limit everything on the road would pass us. I timed myself on a measured mile at 60 mph and discovered I was doing 55 mph. I started researching the internet and discovered it is a common problem. Hundai has replaced some speedometers but apparently it does not correct the problem. It has occurred to me that this would also give you a better mpg indication than you are actually getting. Have you received any other complaints about this and what is thoughts. My dealer had not heard about this problem.
