Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Engine has trouble starting or stalls often. Was told to replace whole engine when I went in awhile ago due to issue of starting, noise and oil leak. Tpms sensor I think is shot to every time I fill up air it still suggests issue with tires. Windows also get stuck down or up.”
NHTSA complaint #11378238, filed 2020-12, 98,000 miles“I found a flat tire on my front right tire yesterday as it was sitting stationary in my work parking lot. (19may2016). Upon further inspection it was found that my wheel/rim was cracked and dented. I did not hit a pothole, run off the road, have a wreck, etc.. So there is no reason it should have happened.”
NHTSA complaint #10870029, filed 2016-05, 128,000 miles“While driving my husband heard a loud pop. Immediately the front passenger tire went flat which caused severe loss of control. Thankfully he was on a local road with no other cars at the time. Apparently a coil spring fractured off and slashed the tire. This spring still looked brand new yet it just sheered off which must be some type of defect in manufacturing of the part. While researching this I found a recall #107096 for suspension front spring coil yet my 2011 Elantra does not show up for this recall? …”
NHTSA complaint #11397106, filed 2021-02, 62,000 miles“I have already reported my problem regarding the recall #107096 for suspension front spring coil. Nhtsa campaign id 15v629000; date: oct. 7, 2015 if a front coil spring fractures, it may contact the tire, possibly puncturing it, increasing the risk of a crash...and wanted to update since I have since contacted Hyundai. This was their reply: campaigns and recalls are VIN specific, therefore, your 2011 Elantra may have been produced in the same time period as the affected vehicles but at a different factory. Not all Elantra's for this time period were recalled. Only the affected VIN's. …”
NHTSA complaint #11402800, filed 2021-03, 62,000 miles“My tires have developed bulges after only 24000 miles of use. I have the following, original tires: p214/45r17 my tires have significant and dangerous bulges, which can lead to dangerous driving and blow outs. If this is characteristic of all tires in the set, I'd like to be reimbursed for a set of tires that do this, their installation, and the decreased fuel efficiency that will come from having smaller tires. I imagine all three would presently (2014) amount to about $2500. …”
