Example complaints

Wheels: “The front passenger side tire has blown out twice in the past year. The car was parked, and when I started the car and started driving the low tire light came on. After stopping to get air I discovered the tire was completely flat, and I had been driving on a flat tire. Both times the rim was also bent and had to be sent to a shop to repair it (more money and more time away from my car and paying for a rental car). It was the same exact situation both times. I didn't hit anything or run over anything. …”

NHTSA complaint #10817674, filed 2016-01, 57,000 miles

Other or unknown: “I recently had to replace an original equipment tire because of a bulge in the sidewall. I had the service done at my dealers, from whom I bought the car new in november 2012. It is a 2013 Hyundai elantra gt with less than 15,000 miles. The dealer kindly checked with you and was told that it did not qualify for any replacement credit. They showed me the current warranty information which specifically lists 'bulge' as a road hazard not covered. However, I am attaching a copy of the warranty received with the car and you will note that 'bulge' is not included in the exclusions. …”

NHTSA complaint #10854129, filed 2016-04, 14,800 miles

Engine: “This has not happened yet, but it will, and to hundreds of thousands of other 1.8l engines. Why have you not recalled the Hyundai 1.8l nu engines used in the kia forte and Hyundai elantra's (all trims and levels from 2011-2016). This engine has the same issues as the 2.0l and 2.4l engines, and more 1.8l engines were sold than the 2.0l and 2.4l engines combined. My engine is now experiencing 'rod-knock' and since I am the second owner and my car only has 80000 miles, Hyundai will not repair or replace the engine, even though its a known manufacturing defect. …”

NHTSA complaint #11189944, filed 2019-03, 80,000 miles

Tires: “Noticed the sidewall of the tire has a bulge on it, did not hit any potholes or anything. Have been reading many are having the same issues with the 17 tires on this car.”
