“When going around minor bends in the road if you hit a pothole the rearend fishtails. One stretch of road that is travelled daily is a 25 MPH speed limit with railroad tracks on the bend. Every time you hit the tracks the back end jumps to the right. The other day we had light snow went around a turn at a green light the back end hit a bump and almost spun me out at a speed of 15.”
NHTSA complaint #10681986, filed 2015-02, 5,000 miles“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“While driving at speeds up to 55-70 MPH, I noticed when I go over potholes the entire backend fish tails. I took it to the dealer I purchased the vehicle from, they could not replicate. This happens every time I hit a pothole, uneven train tracks or uneven road conditions.took it to another mechanic who couldn't either. Now I'm at another Hyundai dealership who also cannot replicate. I've noticed a lot of people complaining about this and now it's winter. …”
NHTSA complaint #10670763, filed 2015-01, 1,500 miles“When driving on the highway or a street and encounter a curve in the road, with some bumps in the road, the car just chatters sideways. Sometimes enough to almost go into the other lane. When you hit a bump straight on it just feels like the car is bottoming out. In my opinion I really feel that the suspension system is absolutely terrible and is very dangerous as if you hit more than one bump the car literally moves from 2 to 3 feet sideways. I have read on Hyundai forums of similar situations and it seems Hyundai does not acknowledge any problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10861143, filed 2016-04, 19,000 miles“Purchased vehicle may 2013. Noticed it pulled to the right severely. Dealership could not duplicate. Took shop foreman for a ride on 3 lane 65 MPH highway. Taking a left curve I let go of the steering wheel. Car pulled to right and crossed two lanes. They decided to attempt to repair. All I remember is rotation of tires and I was told they could never be rotated again. Car is easier to drive but not completely repaired. Tired of messing with it. I hate this car and do not like driving it. There is a steering and suspension problem. …”
