Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Within 80000 miles I have had two sets of tires and 2 blow outs. Both back tires. Now the back left tire is deformed like its been bouncing. I had all tires balanced and its still disfigured. There is something wrong with the suspension on these vehicles that Hyundai needs to address before someone is killed with a blow out. I drive 230 miles a day round trip work. All interstate. I need dependability under me. This car scares the crap out of me.”
NHTSA complaint #10969405, filed 2017-03, 47,000 miles“The vehicle only has 9400 miles on it. It already had six flat tires, some multiple times on same wheel. We had the dealer confirm slow leaks and was charged for them. There are still slow leaks that I use the inflator. The tires are the original hankook p195/65r15 and now only have 9400 miles on them. My wife is the sole driver of the vehicle and drives slow. She only works 10 miles from home and sometimes the tire indicator turns on when she is driving and sometimes when she gets in the cat. …”
NHTSA complaint #11025434, filed 2017-09, 9,400 miles“This is our third Elantra. While we like the looks of the vehicle and the way it generally handles we are greatly dissatisfied with the tires that are standard on the vehicle. Since we live in western pennsylvania and experience wintery weather we have found that these tires are very dangerous on winter roads. We are sure that many people are involved in accidents unless different tires have been purchased that perform better in these conditions. We have never owned a vehicle that the first thing we had to do was purchase new tires in order to drive in winter weather. …”
