“4 times I have hit a pothole or a bump on the road and have had a loud bang , the car jerks violently and then the wipers came on - one time I had the loud bang the car jerked violently the wipers came on and the car went into neutral. The combination of the suspension, tires and rims make this car very dangerous on roads that have any kind of potholes or bumps. Please help.”
NHTSA complaint #10616716, filed 2014-07, 7,000 miles“Had car for around a year and have had nothing but issues with shakes suspension and as of recent a rod threw through my engine wall through my oil compartment. I keep up with the maintenance of the car regularly and for something so huge of that nature to happen is bizarre. Apparently hundreds of millions of hyundais have been recalled due to engine failure (rods being thrown). I'm having the same issue as many other drivers with no resolution. …”
NHTSA complaint #10992961, filed 2017-06, 70,500 miles“The first incident happened as I was driving to michigan from indiana, on a cold but clear day. Half way into michigan I ran into a light dusting of snow, and before I knew it my rear end started sliding to the right. At first I thought I hit a patch of ice, but I soon realized I'm the only one sliding all over the road. My top speed 40 to 45 MPH. Everyone was passing me with no problems. When I got to my parents house, I went to discount tire and bought new rims and snow tires. The result no different. Last week I was heading to chicago, and ran into rain at 70 MPH. Same situation as before. …”
NHTSA complaint #10621884, filed 2014-08, 10,500 miles“During moderate braking on rough roads the vehicle makes a loud bang. At this time the brake pedal becomes very difficult to depress. This vehicle suffered four flat tires during the 2013/2014 winter in michigan due to pot holes. Two of the wheels had to be replace during one incident. Tire profile is not appropriate for roads in this area. Dealer had vehicle for a week but did not find a problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10643782, filed 2014-10, 9,501 miles“When driving the vehicle the back wants to step out of line when going over bumps, this is more pronounced when going around a curve. Also when the vehicle hits a patch of snow, during the transition on to the snow and off the car feels like the ends want to switch places. If one rear tire transitions onto snow or ice the entire rear of the car wants to travel that direction, it also does this when crossing asphalt patches. It is more pronounced on roads with vertical grooving in the concrete. …”
