9 Rear Suspension problem of the 2007 Hyundai Elantra

Failure Date: 10/16/2008

One of my Elantra's started shaking really bad to the point that I couldn't drive. I brought it into the closest shop. They told me that the alignment was way off spec. They ordered the proper parts and were able to put the front alignment in spec. Then they told me that the bad could not be fixed, they are non-adjustable struts. I then took it to the dealer which has now told me the same thing. The car is 1 years old and cannot be fixed. I contacted Hyundai corporate and they are sending a rep to check out the situation. Upon researching this problem I found that there were other Elantra owners out there with this same problem. My mechanic believes that this has to do with the car not being built to hold even the maximum weight capacity. I am also concerned because I have another of the same car.
