“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“I got this as a rental car and am afraid to drive it. Every time I go over a pothole, I feel like I lose control of the car. I've never had a car feel like this and it just feels dangerous.”
NHTSA complaint #10619503, filed 2014-08, 1,575 miles“Noticed a odd noise coming from my left drivers side tire when making a right turn. Took it too a mechanic. Left front wheel bearing was severely damaged. Had to replace left front wheel bearing at 41,000 miles. This car has not driven on bumpy roads or any accidents.”
NHTSA complaint #10781379, filed 2015-10, 41,000 miles“More often than not, the steering wheel will virtually lock, only allowing me to turn the steering wheel 2 inches, with increasing difficulty after that range in either direction. Making sharper turns literally impossible without having to harshly tug the wheel only effectively moving the steering wheel another 1-2inches with each tug. This goes away when turning off and on the vehicle, and has been happening for over a year now. The power steering light and traction control light both come on as soon as it happens seemingly out of nowhere.”
NHTSA complaint #11348937, filed 2020-08, 92,000 miles“The hankook h426 tires on this car are extremely vulnerable to destruction caused by minor road hazards such as stones and shallow potholes or ridging in the roadway, even when struck at speeds below 30 MPH. I purchased this car in march of 2014 and have since replaced 6 tires at full cost. The last incident occurred on 1/22/2016 while driving on a snow covered road at low speed. In every case, the sidewall of the tire appeared to be gashed. My wife is the primary driver of this car and uses it for work purposes. I fear for her safety whenever she drives this car.”
