Suspension Noise Problems of Hyundai Elantra

When the vehicle is turning right over uneven surfaces (or bumps), the vehicle makes crunching/creaking sounds that may suggest suspension issues or fear of driving the vehicle. Dealer does not understand the issue and unable to repair. It would appear related to engine mount rubber that can reduce noise if applying lubricating sprays, but unsure if any affect to vehicle safety.

In the left rear suspension, the trailing arm broke off where the anti-roll bar is mounted, to where the anti-roll bar is no longer connected to the suspension. The clunking noise that resulted from this was first noticed in early March 2019, and occurs when going over bumps in the road. The date of occurrence of 3/1/19 is approximate.

With the steering wheel turned to its far right extreme, the front suspension emits a loud creaking noise when there is an incline, such as entering a parking lot entrance or driveway. This is the only time I hear the creaking noise. This concerns me because I'm afraid the noise indicates a failing or faulty suspension component, which could possibly lead to loss of vehicle control should the faulty part fail with the vehicle in motion.

At speeds under 40-45mph, when turning only right, over bumpy and uneven roads (railroad tracks, manhole covers, humps in the road, seams in concrete), there is a clunking/clicking noise from the front of the car with an accompanying feeling in steering/pedals. Suspension during these situations feels very loose/unsteady. Feels like control could be lost if car is not handling properly.

I was driving through a store parking lot and went over a speed bump. My front suspension collapsed. Luckily I was close to a car repair place and was able to get it there through burning rubber and incredibly loud noise. I bought the tires a month prior. Whole front suspension was replaced.

On Sunday, April 15, 2018, I was preparing ti make a right turn on merrimac Ave in norfolk va, on my way to church,, when I heard a loud screeching noise and loss of steering. A car with no occupant was sitting to car spaces from the corner and my car struck the car. I got out of my car and saw my right front wheel laying on the ground and my right front fender was smashed. I called the police and aaa. When triple aaa arrived the driver said that my axle was bent. My air back did not implod. The police came and so summons was given, just a repotr that it was a non-reportable accident. My car has been in a collision shop since that day. The shop called and said there would be a delay because the axle the manufacture sent was damaged!! the shop had to order another axle . I went on line to determine if this model has had other report of axle and suspension defects and there was one report that was exactly the same as mine. Is it possible that this model may be a defected ? I did not take any pictures I had lost my cell phone.

I noticed my 2013 Hyundai Elantra was making a sound from the driver side( in 2018 )wheel when I turn and also the car sways when driving at slow speed. I reported it to the Hyundai of las vegas dealership where I bought my Hyundai from on 6/2017 but they said I had no extended warranty. I then received a "recall notice" for the 2013 Hyundai Elantra (1/29/2018) and took it back to Hyundai of las vegas who fixed a brake pedal defect free of charge. I know there are 29 Hyundai consumer complaints reported to the NHTSA about the "swaying motion" on Hyundais that is a safety issue related to the suspension which should be on the recall priority list to in my opinion since I am making monthly payments for my used Hyundai. It will cost the price of a new car after I am done paying off the entire car loan I owe.

I purchased my car in 2015. I was loving this car until I was on wet/bumpy roads. I applied the brakes to stop. The Hyundai started making a grinding noise. When I applied the brakes it felt like the brakes was going all the way to the floor. When it is snowing I can't drive the car because the brake gets locked up and makes a lot of noise. This car is dangerous to drive in inclement weather. Also this car suspension is horrible. You feel all the bumps in the road. Hyundai needs to do a recall on this car. Most of my problems with this car was driving in the city. Driving on wet roads coming to a stop or hitting a bump in the road. The car swerves and make aloud grabbing noise. Sounds like the brakes are coming up through the floor. I love the car but don't love the way it drives. I had to replace the front rotors and brake pad with a full alignment. This vehicle still drives the same way even when all this work was completed.

When going over any road defects or abnormalities, while driving the car, I have become aware of how the suspension is on this vehicle makes noises, fishtails, and seems to bottom out with any speed bump. Rear wheels seem to lose traction when hitting any type of small hole, crack, or drop in road flatness. Suspension also sways awkwardly with certain turns. Only getting more and more noticeable as the car continues to age.

The car literally rides like a truck, with a very light back end. When going over even slight bumps the ride (suspension) feels like a big hole or very rough road. There are times when the back end does not feel very stable when going of "washboard types of roads". Road noise is distinctly loud at times.

On the morning of April 16th, my 2008 Hyundai Elantra (84000 miles) started making an unusual sound from the rear right. At roughly the same time, the esc light came on. As I was within miles of a mechanic, I drove the car to the shop to have it put on the lift. Once it was on the lift and the weight was off the suspension, there was a loud metallic noise from the right rear. Upon inspection, the bolt for the right rear upper control arm had sheered, but the control arm itself was frozen in place by rust against the vehicle body. Additional bolts were also frozen in place within the suspension bushings and could not be moved by hand. I called my insurance company, and they recommended the car be towed to a collision shop. When the vehicle was removed from the lift to be towed, the rear passenger side tire collapsed inward against the wheel-well. The vehicle required a flat bed as it could not be towed due to the suspension problem. At the collision shop, it was noted that the majority of the bolts on the rear suspension were rusted, along with the cross-member. The rear cross-member and attached components required replacement. In addition, it was noted the rear driver side tire was misaligned and "badly cupped" despite having been replaced and aligned several months ago.

The brakes make horrible creaking and grinding noises when wet. Sometimes it will even cause the car to shake. I have contacted Hyundai several times and they do not take this serious. I have taken it to the dealership several times and they have not been able to fix it. I just took it in last week and they even tried to get me to pay 100 for a cleaning of the brake components, I feel I should not have to pay to fix a problem we have had since we bought the car new and have had it in several times and they have not been able to fix it. I am not confident driving the car now and clearly no one would want it buy it off us when it makes such horrible noises. I also believe it cannot be safe and will cause premature failure of the brake calipers and / or possible the ball joints or front steering suspension. I think they have a faulty design in the brake hydraulics and the differential pressures between the front and rear brakes are not right.

I purchased this car new from a Hyundai dealer in March 2012 problem 1. Since early on, the car always exhibited a serious instability in the rear end. Specifically speaking, when driving on any small bump found on any normal road, the car rear suspension will not absorbe the bump like any normal car would but instead severely jumps and then 'darts or shifts' laterally. Even in dry pavement. Having lived in the ne and illinois now, I am a very experienced driving in snowy conditions. Driving this car in even 1/2" of snow is downright terrifying. There is absolutely no rear end control and total instability no matter how careful you drive. I have found myself not knowing if I was going to make home without getting into an accident. The past two winters I had to use other vehicle even if the weather forecast call for snown flurries. I have never driven a car so unstable in my 45 years of driving. By the way, loading up the car with passengers or additional weight has zero impact reducing the severity of the problem. Problem 2 the rear tires wear out very fast. Even though I rotate them even 5k miles, they wear so badly that they produce a loud road noise from uneven wear. I am on my third set of tires and these need replacement now. I have taken the car to to Hyundai, they checked alignment and said there is nothing wrong and the problem must be the tires. After doing some research, I learned these cars have a solid , non-adjustable rear end with a fixed toe-in and camber. I am certain that both problems I listed are caused by Hyundai's rear end design. This is a major problem and Hyundai refuses to acknowledge it. It is a matter of time before accidents with loss of life will occur. What am I suppose to do this coming winter? . A neighbor with a 2013 Elantra complained about the same instability.

Clunking noise when going over bumps. Dealer replaced right rear shock. Same thing happened again December 14, 2012. Car had 17,059 miles. This time dealer replaced the right rear shock again, and also replaced the left rear shock. Could there be a defect in the suspension system of this model and year car?.
