My 2007 Hyundai Elantra has to be jump started to run now, It only has like 28,000 miles on it. I've taken it to Hyundai 3 times now, and they cannot find anything wrong with it. The battery is is fine. The servicemen ran a full electrical check on my car, and still cannot find anything wrong with it at all. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
My 09 elantra had the same problem the terminal was loose and it had to jumped each time to start up. Tighten all the terminal as well as the clamps and the problem should stop.
From your comment,theres 3 things that can cause this,loose batt.post connection,weak batt.or something in elect. circuit that stays on after car is off and drains batt.,like underhood light,dome or truck light,what u can do is when u park car unhook batt. cable,make sure batt. is well charged,hook it up next day if car starts,its something that drains batt.in car! if it doesnt start,batt. needs replacing.i ruled out starter,dealer should have checked it to see if it was pulling too much amps,and that its easy to jump.

It used to be that it would do this every now and and then, but now it is consistently happening every time I need to drive the car. I have no problems when I am driving the car.
When I go to turn on the car, the radio, and lights come on, so they are getting power. When I turn the key, it sounds like it is trying to turn over, and then it just starts clicking. It starts right up after a jump easily.
Does additional information help?
it has to be jump started every time to start! batt. is good,and starter is good!batt.must be drained at start,is it?
