general problems of the 2011 Hyundai Elantra - part 2

I was traveling to memphis, TN. The rear end of the car would constantly jerk out tot the left when I would hit bumps. I have taken it to the dealer several times, and was told this was a normal reaction for this kind of suspension. The problem has been constant, and during the winter, it tried to spin out of control. On several occasions I have almost lost control, and it is scary because I never know if or when it's gonna crash. I have read several other people having the same problem, including those who have had an accident. This will eventually kill someone unless something is done to fix the problem.

Front of Elantra traveling at 40 mph hit another car entering 4 lane on the drivers side. (t-boned") the car was declared a total loss. None of the head , front or seat airbags deployed.

When traveling at highway speeds, if you go over a dip in the road or a pot hole the left rear tire/suspension bottoms out causing the car to sway or almost jump to the left or the right side. It's almost like the car bottoms out and the wheel comes off of the pavement. It happens constantly. If I go over a speed bump at very slow speeds the left rear suspension bottoms out and you feel and hear it bottoming out. It's terrible. There is a defect. I have never had a car do this. Hyundai said they can't find anything wrong. I have read many posts online about the same thing happening to other Elantra owners. To Hyundai, address this problem!!!!!!!.

Hyundai mechanic, [xxx], claimed that the shaking of the rear suspension is a "normal" feature for all Hyundai Elantras due to the fact that the "rear drive train is a solid platform not independent. " this was the cerritos Hyundai's technicians exact statement for my car's malfunction. I provided proper documentation from a professional mechanic, robert velis from rennstar motors, stating that my Hyundai elantic has "erratic directional stability at the rear of the vehicle at speed bumps. " this "normal" feature not only is unsettling but causes undo stress to the driver causing distractions when driving. This vehicle should be considered a road hazard, and I believe that the manufacturer should take responsibility for this unsettling feature. I am presenting my distress to you since, Hyundai will not take responsibility for this issue. "erratic directional stability" is not a big enough of a malfunction for Hyundai to take into serious consideration. So, who is to take responsibility: the purchaser or the manufacturer? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

2011 Hyundai Elantra. Driver side coil spring fractured. I had both front struts/springs replaced. I have all parts. This is a safety issue as the missing piece can cause the vehicle to lose control. Fortunately mine broke as I entered my garage. As my local dealer could not see my car for 7-10 days, I opted for local repair. I brought my documentation and parts to my local dealer for validation. Before I did anything, I verified that there was a recall on this exact issue (number 15v629000). My VIN did not appear nor was I ever notified of the recall. I then began to chase Hyundai for reimbursement. I will attach my communications with them. Basically I was denied as the VIN was not on the list and I was further told that they do not reimburse for non dealer repairs which is incorrect, as I started my process on their campaign website which addresses reimbursement.

I have had the same issue with my Hyundai Elantra 2011 tires contipro r17. First incident happened when I hit a 4 inch pothole and for some reason the air escaped the tire and had to call a tow in truck. The dealer replaced my tire for only $321 (am I lucky ha ha). Now it is October and another problem with the back passenger tire hit a much smaller pothole and the tire blew out. What is going on? these tires are made out of bubble gum. My Ford contour 1997 drove through the grand canyon and tires lasted for 80 thousand miles with no problems. I hope they replace those things before someone gets hurt. . . . . . . Thanks.
