general problems of the 2012 Hyundai Elantra

2012 Hyundai Elantra. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle driver side floor mat damages and unable to locate replacement. The consumer stated the driver's side floor mat was badly worn. The dealership advised that the mats can not be sold separately. The consumer believed that was unacceptable.

This car has large blind spots caused by both the left and right front pillars. The positioning of the rear view mirror only makes the right blind spot larger as there is only the space from the bottom of the mirror to the right pillar to view outside of the car. As a result, I almost hit someone crossing the street from my right to my left. Thankfully, I saw them in time to apply my brakes. This happens frequently with this car. And, at intersections where there is a four-way stop or, when I am entering the lane, I can often not see a car coming from either direction. I fully anticipate that this car will be involved in numerous accidents. The Elantra driver will be at fault but no one will look to this "defect" in the car as the problem.
