NHTSA complaint #10550788, filed 2013-11, 20,000 miles“Tires steel belting separation causing the car to shimmy so bad at all speeds wife was afraid to drive home. Examination showed one front had failed at 36000 mile., however we didn't trust any so replaced all four.”
NHTSA complaint #10541751, filed 2013-09, 36,000 miles“Hyundai is equipping these elantras with solus tires which are very substandard all weather tires for traction. Tires constantly slide and loose contact with road surface on wet, dry sandy and snow covered pavement, constantly causing the ABS brakes to engage, and causing the vehicle to wander across road surface. It is at it's worst in any kind of snow even at speeds of 5 MPH. Car almost went off roadway several times during snow while traveling between 5 & 15 MPH. Complained to dealer where car purchased and they could not care less!”
