STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHEN CORNERING AND THE ROAD IS SLIGHTLY UNEVEN THE CAR SKITTERS SIDE WAYS, OR IN BAD CASES IF YOU HIT A BUMP THE CAR STEPS SIDEWAYS. DEPENDING ON THE SPEED OR THE TIGHTNESS OF THE TURN, THE CAR CAN DRIFT SIDEWAYS BY QUITE A DISTANCE. *TR

WHEELS, TIRES
TIRES THAT CAME FACTORY ON THE VEHICLE DID NOT LAST AS LONG AS THE TIRE WAS RATED FROM THE MANUFACTURES WEBSITE. THEY ARE NEARLY BALD, DUE TO HIGHWAY DRIVING, AND THE MANUFACTURE AND CAR COMPANY WILL NOT HONOR THE TREAD LIFE WARRANTY. THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NOT AN OWNER WARRANTY BECAUSE I DID NOT PURCHASE THE TIRES. THIS IS CONFUSING TO ME, ONLY BECAUSE I BOUGHT A $24,000 CAR! CONTINENTAL WAS CONTACTED BY ME TO DISCUSS THIS, AND I'VE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. NEITHER IS WILLING TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT THE TIRES DID NOT LAST LIKE THEY HAD ADVERTISED. NEXT VEHICLE I PURCHASE I PLAN ON REMOVING ANYTHING WITH THE NAME CONTINENTAL ON IT. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY UNSTABLE AND CAUSED THE DRIVER TO NEARLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES AND THE REAR SUSPENSION, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15.

WHEELS
ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2014, MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING OUR 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA (PURCHASED JANUARY 2014) TO SCHOOL ON A SURFACE STREET. SHE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND UPON ACCELERATING HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY INTO A PARKING SPACE. SHE NOTICED THAT SHE HAD A FLAT TIRE. SHE CALLED ME IMMEDIATELY AND I SHOWED UP TO CHANGE THE TIRE. I NOTICED A LARGE HOLE IN THE OEM HANKOOK OPTIMO TIRE AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (HYUNDAI INLAND EMPIRE) FOR REPAIR. THE HOLE WAS TOO BIG TO REPAIR AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE TIRE. TWO HOURS LATER THE SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED ME AND STATED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE RIM BECAUSE IT WAS CRACKED. THE COST OF REPLACEMENT WAS $399 FOR THE RIM AND $153.67 FOR THE TIRE. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THE RIM WAS CRACKED. THERE WAS NO SIGNIFICANT MECHANISM TO CRACK THE RIM. THIS WAS A SIMPLE FLAT TIRE ON A HIGH TRAFFIC, 30 - 40 MPH STREET, AT 7:30 IN THE MORNING. BOTH OF MY DAUGHTERS WERE IN THE CAR AND BOTH CONFIRM THAT THEY HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY. THERE WAS NO TIRE SIDEWALL DAMAGE AND NO EVIDENCE OF RIM DAMAGE. I HAVE OWNED 8 CARS IN MY LIFETIME AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL FLAT TIRES, AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A CRACKED RIM. THIS IS AN 8 MONTH OLD CAR WITH LOW MILES AND THERE IS NO OTHER REASON FOR A CRACKED $399 RIM, OTHER THAN MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND 12 OTHER REPORTED CASES OF CRACKED RIMS IN THE 2013 ELANTRA. AS A PARENT, WHO PURCHASED THIS CAR FOR HIS DAUGHTER BASED ON THE SAFETY RATING, I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE TIRE BLOW-OUT AND THE CRACKED RIM. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI, BOTH CUSTOMER CARE AND THE DEALER, AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO COVER THE COST OF THE RIM OR ADMIT ANY DEFECT OR FAULT. A NINE MONTH OLD RIM SHOULD NOT CRACK WITH A SIMPLE FLAT TIRE. THE FACT THAT 12 OTHER CASES HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS IS SUBSTANTIAL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
COMING TO THE END OF A PASSING LANE AT ABOUT 60 MPH, CARS GOT CONGESTED, BRAKE HARD AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR, STARTED TO GO INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I LET UP ON THE BRAKES AND BRAKED AGAIN, BRAKES LOCKED UP AS BEFORE. I THOUGHT ANTI-LOCK BRAKES PREVENTED THIS FROM HAPPENING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO OTHER TIMES, JUST NOT THIS BAD, PLUS WHEN I GO OVER RAILROAD TRACKS OF HIT A POTHOLE, I CAN'T USE THE BRAKES. I NOTICED THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FACTORY HANCOCK TIRES, THEY SHOULD BE BAN FROM NEW CARS, I HAD TWO ACCIDENTS IN ONE DAY DUE TO LIGHT SNOW. *TR

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION MADE A LOUD SCRAPING NOISE AS I STARTED OUT FROM A STOP. IT WAS HARD TO GET THE CAR GOING, BUT I GOT THE CAR TO GO A SHORT DISTANCE (ABOUT 1/4 MILE) BUT IT WAS TOO DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. WHEN I PULLED OVER, I HEARD THE SCRAPING AGAIN. I HAD TO CALL TWICE FOR A TOW; THE FIRST DRIVER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT OIL UNDER THE CAR. I COULD NOT GET IT GOING, SO I HAD IT TOWED BY A SECOND DRIVER TO THE CLOSEST DEALER, WHO REFUSED TO CONSIDER THAT THE TRANSMISSION MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM AND THE FLUID MIGHT BE FROM THAT. HE REFUSED TO CHECK THE CAR UNLESS I PAID $110 UPFRONT. SINCE HE HAD TAKEN OUT THE OIL FILTER, I TOLD HIM TO CHANGE THE OIL; THEY FINALLY DID AFTER SOME TIME AND THEN WHEN THEY TRIED TO DRIVE IT, THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO GO MORE THAN 10 MPH, AND DECIDED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. THEY KEPT THE CAR AND DID NOT GIVE ME A WORK ORDER, WHICH IS CONTRARY TO CALIFORNIA STATE LAW. I HAD TO CALL THE NEXT DAY TO INSIST THAT THEY EMAIL IT TO ME. IT TOOK SEVEN DAYS FOR THE PART TO ARRIVE AND FOR THEM TO FIX THE CAR, WHICH I PICKED UP ON MARCH 5. I AM CURRENTLY HAVING PICKUP PROBLEMS IN THE LOWER GEARS (FROM 0 TO 35 MPH) WITH THE NEW TRANSMISSION. *TR

THE TIRES THAT CAME WITH MY ELANTRA ((HANKOOK H426 215/45 17) HAD TO BE REPLACED IN LESS THAN 18 MONTHS AS THE SIDE WALL WAS BULGING DANGEROUSLY. MY SON WHO HAS A 2010 ELANTRA WITH HANKOOK TIRES HAD A BLOW-OUT WHILE DRIVING. I THINK THESE HANKOOK TIRES ARE DANGEROUSLY UNRELIABLE. THANK YOU. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JUNE 2013. I HAD NO COMPLAINTS UNTIL JULY OF 2014, WHEREIN MY CAR PICKS AND CHOOSES WHEN TO START. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WHO SEEM TO HAVE THIS COMPLAINT. I FINALLY GAVE IN ON AUG. 24, AFTER MY CAR SAT FOR TWO DAYS BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET IT TO START. I CALLED THE HYUNDAI 24 HOUR ROADSIDE AND HAD THEM TOW IT TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER INITIALLY TRIED TO START IT, AND IT DIDN'T. HE POPPED THE BUTTON NEAREST THE TOP OF THE SHIFTER AND PRESSED IT IN, AND PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, IT THEN STARTED BUT SPUTTERED LIKE IT WANTED TO TURN OFF. HE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR ONTO THE TOW TRUCK. THE NEXT MORNING, I SPOKE WITH THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP WHO INDICATED THAT THE CAR WAS STARTING FOR THEM JUST FINE. HE SAID THERE ARE SO MANY SENSORS THAT IT COULD BE ONE, BUT THEY WOULDN'T KNOW WHERE TO START AS THERE ARE SO MANY AND COULD NOT MAKE AN EDUCATED GUESS. HE WANTED TO KEEP IT OVERNIGHT TO SEE IF IT WOULD ACT UP FOR THEM. IT IS NOW 2PM TWO DAYS LATER AND THE MECHANIC CLAIMS THERE IS STILL NO ISSUE, HE SAID THEY HAVE LET IT RUN ALL MORNING AND IT IS FINE. THIS HAS BECOME RIDICULOUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN I SEE SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT, YET NOTHING BEING DONE. HELP, NHTSA! *TR

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
UNABLE TO INSERT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION NO MATTER HOW HARD WE TRIED.THIS HAPPENED FAIRLY SOON AFTER WE PURCHASED THE CAR FROM THE DEALER; IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES, BUT THE DEALER EVENTUALLY GETS THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEM "CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM". AT ONE INCIDENT THE DRIVE OF THE TOW TRUCK HAMMERED THE KEY QUITE HARD IN THE IGNITION AND FORCED THE KEY IN! I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI MOTOR AND THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME AND CLAIM THAT" THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND I NEED TO STEER THE STEERING WHEEL REALLY HARD TO GET THE STEERING MECHANISM LOOSE" THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH 6 MONTHS OLD CAR WHILE IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY.ANY INPUT OR ADVICE WOULD BEAPPRECIATED.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING

DELIVERED CAR TO DEALER ON 8/19/2014. DEALER HAD CAR FOR THREE DAYS FOR REPAIR. NEW STEERING COLUMN WITH ANGLE SENSORS HAD TO BE INSTALLED AND ADJUSTED. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER OWNERS ON THIS SITE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE CONTACT ACCIDENTALLY CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT AND THE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED MINOR SCRAPES AND BRUISES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE OTHER VEHICLE'S PASSENGERS ALSO REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,200. ..UPDATED 10/01/14 *BF

SUSPENSION
I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 2012 ELANTRA AND HAD NO COMPLAINTS, I TRADED IT FOR THE 2013 AND HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS. WHEN THE ROADS ARE DRY THE CAR DRIVES GREAT, HOWEVER WHEN THE ROADS ARE WET OR PLOWED SNOW I HAVE VERY LITTLE CONTROL OVER THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I SPENT $800 FOR NEW SNOW TIRES HOPING THAT WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE BUT IT DOES NOT. I DRIVE 150 MILES PER DAY ROUND TRIP FOR WORK AND IT IS MOSTLY INTERSTATE. WHEN IT RAINS OR SNOWS I AM NOT ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE OVER 40-50MPH WITHOUT THE REAR END SWAYING AND FISHTAILING. EVERY OTHER CAR IS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THERE I AM IN THE RIGHT LANE JUST STRUGGLING TO KEEP MY CAR ON THE ROAD AT 45MPH. I AM FRUSTRATED THAT MY HYUNDAI DEALER AND THE HYUNDAI OFFICE ARE TOTALLY DISREGARDING MY SAFETY BY NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS NOT A TIRE ISSUE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM EXISTS EVEN AFTER NEW SNOW TIRES ARE PUT ON THE CAR. ALSO, IT IS NOT A WINTER DRIVING ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR REACTS THE SAME WAY WHEN IT IS RAINING OUTSIDE. *TR

SUSPENSION, SERVICE BRAKES
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME UNSTABLE AFTER DRIVING OVER A BUMP OR POT HOLE IN THE ROAD. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE. ALSO, THE BRAKES HAD MALFUNCTIONED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AFTER DRIVING OVER A BUMP OR POT HOLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. AFTER CHANGING THE COIL SPRINGS AND REPLACING THE TIRES THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES BUT NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

SUSPENSION, STEERING
I PURCHASED THE 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GLS WITH 13,400 MILES ON FEBRUARY 15, 2014. AFTER A FEW DAYS OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE I REALIZED THAT THE CAR FLOATS ALL OVER THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING PRETTY MUCH AT ANY SPEED. YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE ALSO JUMPS AROUND WHEN DRIVING OVER IMPERFECTIONS ON THE ROADWAY. THE BACK END SUSPENSION IS VERY STIFF AND WHEN GOING OVER THESE IMPERFECTIONS THE VEHICLES VEERS INTO ANOTHER LANE OR SHOULDER. I HAVE CALLED HYUNDAI WITH NO RESPONSE AND EMAILED THEM ONLY TO BE TOLD TO BRING IT TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE FREEHOLD HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TWICE NOW AND WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE OPERATES TO FACTORY SPECS. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE ANSWER. I HAVE A FAMILY AND FEAR THAT AN ACCIDENT IS GOING TO OCCUR WITH THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE POOR HANDLING AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. I DEMAND HYUNDAI REIMBURSE ME FOR WHAT I HAVE PAID FOR THIS VEHICLE OR ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEMS THAT MANY OF THE ELANTRA OWNERS ARE DEALING WITH. *TR

THE SHEET THAT CAME WITH THE CAR SAYS 28 MPG IN CITY DRIVING. I GET 20-21 IN THE CITY. WHEN I TAKE IT TO AUTOMAX HYUNDAI THEY DO A ROAD MILEAGE TEST AND SAY IT GET 42 MPG. I TELL THEM THAT I AM NOT CONCERNED WITH ROAD MILEAGE SINCE I ONLY DO CITY DRIVING. THEY DO NOT HAVE EQUIPMENT NECESSARY TO CHECK CITY MILEAGE AND ARE NOT CONCERNED AT ALL ABOUT MY CITY MILEAGE PROBLEM. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ON JULY 18, 2014, MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA RAN INTO A SUBWAY RESTAURANT AT 12150 S. CICERO, ALSIP, IL. I WAS GOING INTO THE SUBWAY PARKING LOT, MY GOAL WAS TO PARK, BUT MY CAR DID NOT STOP WHEN I PUT ON MY BRAKES. MY CAR KEPT GOING; IT DROVE OVER THE SIDEWALK, THROUGH THE SCRUBS, AND HIT THE BUILDING HEAD ON. HITTING THE BUILDING IS WHAT STOPPED MY VEHICLE, MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I THEN PUT ON THE BRAKES, PUT IT IN REVERSE AND BACKED OFF THE BUILDING, BACKING INTO THE PARKING PLACE THAT I WAS ORIGINALLY GOING INTO TO PARK. ONCE MY CAR WAS PARKED, IT BEGAN TO SMOKE. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR, LOOKED AT THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND THE SUBWAY BUILDING, CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY, STATE FARM AND MY SON. THE 2 EMPLOYEES IN THE SUBWAY, CALLED THE POLICE AND THE SUBWAY RESTAURANT OWNER. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, SUSPENSION
DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT SPEED OF APPROX. 65-70, HIT OFF LEVEL PAVEMENT ON RIGHT SIDE ON ROAD WHILE BRAKING TO SLOW (FOR TRAFFIC) AND BRAKE PEDAL HARDENED (PEDAL HARD TO PRESS FOR FEW SECONDS) WHILE MAKING CLICKING SOUND, BUT THEN FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. FELT LIKE FRONT PASS WHEEL. FIGURED NOTHING. MONTHS PASSED, DRIVING IN SHOPPING CENTER AND GOING OVER SPEED BUMP AT ABOUT 5 MPH AND FRONT WHEEL MADE CLICKING AGAIN WHILE BRAKING TO SLOW FURTHER AND BRAKE PEDAL HARDENED AGAIN (DIFFICULT TO PRESS FOR FEW SECONDS) THEN FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. TOOK CAR TO DEALER FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND INFORMED DEALER OF SITUATION AND SERVICE REP CLAIMED IT WAS HOW THE ABS SYSTEM WORKED AND THAT WAS ALL IT WAS, THE ABS SYSTEM WORKING. TOLD HIM THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN THE LEFT WHEEL IS INVOLVED HITTING OR GOING OVER BUMP. FIRST TIME OWNED VEHICLE WITH ABS BUT I THINK THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT SUPPOSE TO HARDEN UP WHILE ABS SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING AS THIS WOULD LIMIT ANY BRAKING CAPACITY. FEELS LIKE THERE IS A BIGGER PROBLEM AND DEALER IS NOT TAKING IT SERIOUSLY. ORIGINAL OWNER SINCE 7/31/13, THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES AND ALL SEEMED TO ONLY INVOLVE THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL. *TR
