“At 8am coming back from kinstone nc driving on hey 70 at 60mph second lane my 2014 Hyundai Elantra suddenly braked on me. Car started sliding from one side to another spin around twice before went down hill.”
NHTSA complaint #11366901, filed 2020-10, 117,920 miles“Since I bought my 2014 Hyundai elanyra it has had a problem with leaking water to the inside of the vehicle on the passengers side. Apparently it's a leak from the AC hose and it's clogged? Now my floor is weak and it is rotting out due to the water damage. I've had it repaired but it continues to leak after several weeks of being fixed! I've had enough!!! The water only flows when its moving around any corner... No one can sit in the front seat because they get a shower every few seconds!!!”
NHTSA complaint #11265629, filed 2019-10, 40,000 miles“Takata recall on 9/23/2018, about an hour after a rainstorm (car was garaged during storm) my car was in motion at 40 MPH in the left lane on a curve of a southbound interstate exit i275. The car suddenly went sideways, and began fishtailing. I tried to pump the breaks but they were not working. The vehicle then smashed the front side of bumper into the guard rail, and pushed me across two traffic lanes. The vehicle stopped in the right lane, facing north in a southbound exit. I tried to put it in reverse to get into the shoulder, and there was no acceleration. …”
NHTSA complaint #11165490, filed 2019-01, 71,000 miles“Hatch door recall. On hot days the rear spoiler on the hatch door swells and as a result it will stick and jam preventing the rear hatch from opening. The jamming caused the body to dent and chip the paint, this could result in future pre-mature rusting of the body.”
NHTSA complaint #11244785, filed 2019-08, 40,000 miles“Hyundai vehicles do not come with a spare tire. Instead you get an air compressor and fix a flat. This is a safety concern as tire damage that can not be sealed with fix a flat leaves the driver stranded, unable to put on a spare tire and go. This presents a safety hazard as it leaves drivers stranded on the road. This should not be allowed.”
