TIRES, WHEELS
I HAVE A 2013 ELANTRA GT AND HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH WHEELS AND TIRES. IN THE WINTER OF 2013-14, I HAD THIS CAR FOR ONLY 4 MONTH AND STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH BUBBLES IN SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRES. THE ORIGINAL TIRES WERE KUMHO 245/45R17 TIRES AND BUBBLED OR WENT FLAT AFTER NORMAL DRIVING OR UPON ENCOUNTERING A BUMP OR POTHOLE. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH FALKEN 245/45R17 TIRES IN FEBRUARY OF 2014. IN NOVEMBER OF 2014, ANOTHER BUBBLE APPEARED AND A SECOND ON DECEMBER 4, 2014. IT IS A CONCERNING CONDITION OF UNSAFETY AND UNRELIABILITY WHEN A VEHICLES TIRES ARE SO PRONE TO DAMAGE. I WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE THE ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY WITH THE REPLACEMENT TIRES, BUT HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS WILL NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE AND THE 17" TIRES WILL BE CONSIDERED 'LOW PROFILE' GOING FORWARD AND REPLACEMENTS WILL NOT BE COVERED AND WILL NEED TO BE PAID OUT OF POCKET. NOT ONLY IS THIS A SCARY SITUATION, IT IS EXPENSIVE AND TIME CONSUMING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS COMPLAINT AND THE MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHEN REACHING 45-50 MPH, STEERING BECAME SO LOOSE THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STAY IN MY LANE. PULLED OVER TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY APPARENT PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRES, BUT NONE WERE SEEN. TRIED DRIVING AGAIN, SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AT ABOUT THE SAME SPEED (NOTICED IT AROUND 40 MPH THIS TIME). COULD NOT CONTINUE TRIP; HAD TO BE TOWED 50 MILES BACK TO INDIANAPOLIS. HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW (CLOSED FOR THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY TODAY). TRACTION CONTROL HAD BRIEFLY ENGAGED ABOUT 10 MINUTES EARLIER ON A SLICK AREA, BUT SEEMED TO BE AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE, AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF. NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED. *TR

WHEELS
I HAD JUST OWNED MY BRAND NEW 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA LIMITED FOR 6 MONTHS WHEN I HIT A SMALL POTHOLE WHILE CROSSING A BRIDGE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT AND THE RIM GOT DENTED AS WELL. I HAVE OWNED IT NOW FOR 1.5 YEARS AND HAVE HAD 2 BLOWN TIRES AND 3 DENTED RIMS IN TOTAL, ALL FROM MINOR POTHOLES THAT HAD NEVER GIVEN ME ANY TYPE OF ISSUE WITH ANY OF MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES. I'M 39, NEVER SPEED AND A CAREFUL DRIVER, I HAD NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S BECAUSE OF BAD NEW YORK CITY ROADS AND THAT THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS BUT I THINK THAT THE 17 INCH RIM AND LOW PROFILE TIRES THAT THE ELANTRA LIMITED COMES WITH ARE NOT REALLY COMPATIBLE WITH THE CARS STIFF SUSPENSION. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL DO NOW, I MIGHT HAVE TO SPEND OVER 1,000. DOLLARS TO BUY NEW 16 INCH RIMS AND LARGER PROFILE TIRES, I DON'T THINK THIS IS FAIR AFTER PAYING TOP DOLLAR FOR A NEW VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS WITH HOLDING THE KEY ON START POSITION IT WOULD START AS NORMAL. IT WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO STATE THE ENGINE GROUND WIRES WERE CORRODED. IT'S A 2013 ELANTRA WHEN ASKED WHAT CAUSED THE CORROSION , THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY DIDN'T KNOW BUT THEY HAVE HAD 8 OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE THIS MONTH. I'D BE CONCERNED THIS COULD BECOME A FIRE HAZARD AND IT CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF WHILE RUNNING.

SUSPENSION, SERVICE BRAKES
AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 35 MPH ON ROUGH ROADS REAR END OF CAR WILL SLIDE OUT TO RIGHT CAUSING VEHICLE TO HEAD TOWARDS INCOMING TRAFFIC. IF BRAKES ARE APPLIED WHEN VEHICLE LOSES CONTROL ABS ACTIVATES AND CAR SEEMS TO LEAVE GROUND. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN OVER AND OVER. CAR DEALER REPAIR SAYS THIS IS NOT HAPPENING. NOTES THIS MIGHT BE THE FIRST TIME I HAD THIS TYPE OF SUSPENSION. CAR DOES NOT FEEL SAFE ON INTERSTATE. I'VE TESTED THE BUMP OUT IN AN EMPTY LOT. IF NOT CORRECT BY HARD STEERING CAR WILL DEPART LANE. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
UPON HITTING A BUMP OR UNEVEN ROADWAY CAR( 25 MPH AND ABOVE)FEELS LIKE IT LOOSES CONTACT WITH ROADWAY AND BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE.BY FAR THE WORST SUSPENSION IN A VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED.IF ON HIGHWAY YOU BETTER BE DOUBLE FISTED AND WHITE KNUCKLED HOLDING ON TO STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE CAR WILL BE ALL OVER THE PLACE IF YOU HIT A RIDGE OR UNEVENNESS IN ROAD.THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS OUT OF CONTROL(VERY SCARY),SO MUCH SO THAT ANY PASSENGERS IN VEHICLE ALSO FEELS IT AND GRABS HOLD OF SOMETHING FOR STABILITY.I HAVE OWNED 3 NEW HYUNDAIS,THIS IS THE FIRST WITH THIS ISSUE.HAVE BEEN HOPING FOR A RECALL OR ADMISSION OF KNOWN PROBLEM BUT CANNOT WAIT ANY LONGER, VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I REFUSE TO BE FIRST FATALITY BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS.AT SOME POINT SOMEONE IS GOING TO OVER CORRECT WHEN THEY FEEL THIS ON HIGHWAY AND THAT WILL NOT END WELL.SO I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE THAT HAS 16,000 MILES AND IS NOT SAFE ENOUGH WHERE I WILL LET MY WIFE OR CHILDREN DRIVE IT.NO MORE HYUNDAIS FOR ME! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE INDICATOR LIGHT CONTINUES TO GO OFF AND ON BECAUSE THE DOOR IS BEING INDICATED AS OPEN. IT SUBSEQUENTLY UNLOCKS THE DOORS AND TURNS THE DOME LIGHTS REPEATEDLY ON AND OFF AGAIN. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT OTHER CAR FUNCTIONS TURN OFF IF THE DOOR IS "OPEN". *TR

WHEELS, SERVICE BRAKES
OUR ELANTRA BEGAN MAKING GRINDING NOISES WHEN WE PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE BRAKES OR ROTOR WERE DEFECTIVE. WHEN THE SHOP INSPECTED THE CAR, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE NOISE, AND TOLD US THE CAR WAS IN PERFECT SHAPE. OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, THE NOISE BECAME LOUDER WHEN BRAKING, PLUS IT BEGAN MAKING A WHUMP-WHUMP-WHUMP NOISE THAT APPEARED TO BE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE SPEED AND ROTATION OF THE WHEELS. THE SOUND WOULD INCREASE WHEN WE STEERED THE CAR TO THE RIGHT, AND WOULD DECREASE WHEN WE STEERED LEFT. THE WHUMPS WERE BARELY AUDIBLE AT 5 MPH, BUT WERE OVERLY LOUD AT 40 MPH. I THOUGHT IT WAS PLASTIC TRIM FLUTTERING IN THE WIND, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING LOOSE. WHEN WE TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AGAIN, I THINK IN AUGUST, I TOLD THEM THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE THAT THEY NEEDED TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING THE WHUMP NOISES AND THE GRINDING NOISES WHEN WE APPLIED THE BRAKES. THIS TIME THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE BOLT HOLDING THE LEFT WHEEL COMING UNSCREWED. THEY TIGHTENED THE BOLT UNDER WARRANTY REPAIR SERVICE, AND THE CAR HAS NOT MADE THE WHUMP NOISE OR HAD GRINDING BRAKES SINCE THE REPAIR. I DOUBT THIS PROBLEM WAS LIMITED TO ONE CAR IN THE FLEET, AND I BELIEVE HYUNDAI SHOULD HAVE ISSUED AN ADVISORY TO THEIR SHOP MANAGERS TO BE WATCHING FOR THIS PROBLEM SO THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FOUND AND CORRECTED THE FIRST TIME THAT WE TOOK THE CAR IN. *TR

WHEELS, TIRES
MY DAUGHTER HAS A HYUNDAI ELANTRA 2013 WITH 6700 MILES, SHE WAS DRIVING AT 60MPH ON A FREEWAY AND HER PASSENGER FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT. SHE LOST CONTROL AND RAN INTO THE CONCRETE BARRIER ON THE FREEWAY. SHE HAS FRAME AND BODY DAMAGE TO HER FRONT END. THANK GOD SHE IS OK EXCEPT FOR HER COLLAR BONE AREA BEING BRUISED FROM HER SEAT BELT. SHE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING BEFORE THE BLOW OUT. SHE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. NO TIRE WITH ONLY 6700MILES SHOULD HAVE A BLOW OUT LIKE THIS ONE DID. THE CAR HAS NEXEN CP671 TIRES. I AM WAITING ON NEXEN TIRE COMPANY TO CALL ME BACK. HYUNDAI REALLY HAS NOT OFFERED ANY HELP. *TR

MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA LIMITED HAS THE SWERVING PROBLEM. ANY TIME I'M ON AN UNEVEN PATCH OF ROAD OR A BUMP, IT'S LIKE I LOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR. YOU HAVE TO KEEP 2 HANDS ON THE WHEEL AT ALL TIMES TO TRY & KEEP SOME CONTROL. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DOING MY WEEKLY DRIVE FROM DE TO NY!! *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I BOUGHT MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2014, IT HAD 41053 MILES ON IT. AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS RAINING VERY HARD AND I NOTICED THAT IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR IN MY LANE; MY CAR WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT, NOT ONLY THAT, I HIT A BUMP OR MANHOLE AND THE BAD END OF THE CAR FISHTAILED SO BAD THAT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HIT THE CAR THAT WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE. I WAS DRIVING A FEW DAYS LATER, I HIT ANOTHER POTHOLE AND THE CAR DID THAT SAME THING BUT THIS TIME THE ROADS WERE DRY. AT THIS POINT, I REALIZE THAT THE FIRST INCIDENT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ROADS BEING WET, IT WAS THE SUSPENSION ON THE CAR THAT'S CAUSES THE CAR TO PULL TO ONE SIDE AND FOR IT TO FISHTAIL THE WAY IT DOES. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND I REALIZED THAT HYUNDAI OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR QUITE SOMETIME BUT THE HYUNDAI CORPORATION FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A PROBLEM; THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. TO BE HONEST, I'M A LITTLE FRIGHTEN TO DRIVE MY CAR; HYUNDAI CORPORATION NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A SUSPENSION PROBLEM WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL AND THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY GIRLFRIEND PURCHASED A BRAND NEW HYUNDAI ELANTRA LAST YEAR AND SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IT HAS NOT DRIVEN PROPERLY. AT FIRST I ATTRIBUTED IT TO THE FACT THAT SHE HAD STUDDED TIRES ON THE VEHICLE DURING THE WINTER, HOWEVER THAT IS NOT THE CASE. THE VEHICLE DRIVES WHEREVER IT WANTS, BASICALLY. IT PULLS TO THE LEFT, IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT--ANYWHERE BUT STRAIGHT!! IT IS DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP--GARVEY HYUNDAI, IN PLATTSBURGH, NY ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLEARLY DOESN'T HAVE AN HONEST ANSWER FOR ME AND BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS KNOWN FOR THAT, AND IT "TAKES SOME GETTING USED TO." HE ATTRIBUTES IT TO THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING, HOWEVER IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH IT AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS WELL AWARE OF THIS. THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT CHECK AND CONFIRMED THAT EVERYTHING IS "NORMAL." WELL EVERYTHING IS NOT "NORMAL." MY GIRLFRIEND IS 8 MONTHS PREGNANT AND IS DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE THAT IS VERY UNSAFE. SAFETY IS SOMETHING THAT SHE EXPECTED, AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP ASSURED HER OF WHEN SHE MADE THE DECISION TO SPEND ALMOST $30,000 ON A VEHICLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP OR HYUNDAI MAKE THIS RIGHT. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
WE WERE TRAVELING IN A REMOTE AREA AND WHILE GOING DOWN A HILL THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM ALERT CAME ON. THERE WAS NO PLACE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD DUE TO GUARD RAILS, SO I SLOWED DOWN AND CONTINUED DOWN THE HILL UNTIL I COULD PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO CELL PHONE SERVICE AND THIS CAR HAS NO SPARE TIRE. THE TIRE WAS NOT COMPLETELY FLAT AND A NAIL WAS SEEN IN A REPAIRABLE AREA OF THE TREAD ON THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDES FREE ROAD SERVICE, BUT SINCE THERE WAS NO CELL PHONE SERVICE, I HAD NO CHOICE EXCEPT TO USE THE PROVIDED TIRE REPAIR AND INFLATION KIT. THE INSTRUCTIONS WERE FOLLOWED AND THE TIRE WAS INFLATED TO 32 PSI AS PER THE INSTRUCTIONS. I DISCONNECTED THE TIRE REPAIR AIR PUMP FROM THE VALVE STEM AND MY WIFE WAS ABOUT TO REPLACE THE VALVE STEM CAP WHEN THE TIRE EXPLODED AND FORCE FROM THE AIR KNOCKED HER TO THE GROUND AND ONTO THE ROADWAY. SHE SKINNED HER KNEES AND HAD A HEADACHE FOR HOURS AFTER THIS. THE FORCE OF THE TIRE EXPLOSION ALSO SHATTERED THE WHEEL WELL PLASTIC LINER. HAD THE TIRE EXPLOSION BEEN ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TIRE MY WIFE WOULD LIKELY HAVE BEEN GRAVELY INJURED. THE LOUD SOUND FROM THE TIRE EXPLODING GOT THE ATTENTION OF A RANCH CREW REPAIRING FENCES IN THE AREA. THEY SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN BLAST. ONE OF THE CREW MEMBERS OFFERED US USE OF HIS PHONE TO CALL FOR HELP. WE SPENT 2 HOURS IN THE HEAT ARRANGING FOR A TOW AND WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST TIRE SHOP THAT HAD THE CORRECT SIZE TIRE FOR SALE. THIS WAS OVER 25 MILES AWAY IN PINETOP, AZ. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI NUMEROUS TIMES IN AN ATTEMPT FOR THEM TO COMPENSATE ME FOR THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND INJURY TO MY WIFE CAUSED BY THEIR TIRE REPAIR KIT WITHOUT ANY REASONABLE RESPONSE FROM THEM. IN MY OPINION, THEIR TIRE REPAIR KIT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY HYUNDAI, AND I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED. *TR

THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED FOR MY WIFE ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND I DRIVE IT VERY LITTLE. WHEN I HAVE, THE CAR SEEMS TO WONDER REAL BAD, MUCH WORSE ON NEW ROADS. IT IS ALMOST LIKE IT FLOATS SIDE TO SIDE. THIS LAST WEEKEND IT KEPT DRIFTING BOTH WAYS AND WENT OFF THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER CLAIMED EVERY THING IS ALRIGHT, BUT I KNOW IT SHOULD NOT WANDER LIKE THIS. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR. IT WAS A DARK ROAD IN THE NIGHT. PERHAPS SHE DIDN'T SEE THE STOP SIGN AND CRASHED INTO A VEHICLE COMING FROM RIGHT HAND SIDE, GOING IN THE SAME DIRECTION MY WIFE WAS GOING. MY WIFE CRASHED THE OTHER VEHICLE FROM BEHIND. IT WAS SERIOUS CRASH IN WHICH THE ENTIRE FRONT PORTION OF THE CAR IS DAMAGED. BUT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT COME OUT. MY WIFE HAD HER HEAD HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND HAD AN INJURY. MY COMPLAINT IS "WHY DID THE AIR BAG NOT INFLATE IN SUCH A SERIOUS CRASH?" ..UPDATED 10/06/14 *BF. UPDATED 05/13/2015 *JS
