2010 Hyundai Elantra Suspension Problems

“Trunk lid opens by itself either when driving or while parked. Had my 2010 Elantra towed to dealer saturday 03/05/11 after hearing a loud sound under rear of car as if something metal had broken, then it sounded like something under the rear of the car had dropped, then a loud scraping noise occurred, this happened while turning right into my paved driveway. I stopped immediately and looked under the car, there was nothing in the road or my driveway. …”

“I was driving on the highway and was cut off by another car. I was travelling about 50mph, I proceeded to brake (did not require hard braking, because me speed was not high) and steer to the right to avoid hitting the right side of the car that cut me off. My car over compensated and proceeded to swerve. It took a lot to regain control. My initial steer to avoid the car in front was not significant enough to cause the vehicle to swerve out of control. I have never experienced this with other vehicles that I have driven and this experience was rather frightening.”

“I took delivery of the brand new car & about a mile down the road I noticed prominent bounces after the car would go over bump in the road when the car was decelerating to a traffic light. I felt a total of three bounces with the first being the largest, second half of first, third half of second, & fourth couldn't be felt. It was bumper to bumper traffic & going light to light. The bumps were raise sections of the road affecting all four tires. The bumps were not potholes. I emailed my salesperson the next business day of the problem with no response. My main concern is highway driving. …”

“The car creaks when you go at a slow speed or over a hump. The steering wheel also makes a clicking or knocking sound when steering it and when you turn the car to the left or right it makes a creaking noise. When you get out of the car, it seems that it creaks once the weight is lifted. The creaking is either when stationary or when going at a low speed over humps and when turning the wheel. When driving at normal speed or doing the speed limit, you don't hear the creaking, but the steering wheel still knocks. And when putting on brakes after normal speed, the steering wheel knocks badly.”

“On July 25, 2023, I was driving in our town when I heard a noise coming from the rear of the car. I was very close to a repair facility that I sometimes use, so I slowly drove there. They looked at the car and showed me that the rear driver-side wheel was about to fall off. They then raised the car in the shop and told me that the rear upper-control arm had rusted through and broken, causing the wheel to break off. They showed me a photo of this. …”
