| 2013 | STEERING | THE 2011 THROUGH 2013 ELANTRA'S HAVE THIS SAME INHERENT ISSUE IN WHICH THE REAR OF THE CAR IS NOT ENGINEERED TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE OR TRACK PROPERLY OVER BUMPS AND DIPS IN THE ROAD. I HAVE TAKEN MY 2013 ELANTRA LIMITED TO MCCARTHY BLUE SPRINGS HYUNDAI AND CALLED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REQUESTED CONTACT BY THEIR DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER OVER THE PAST YEAR BUT IT HAS BEEN OVER 2 MONTHS AND NO RESPONSE FROM THE DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER (TODAY IS 8-27-2013). THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE BUT SAY ITS THE WAY THE CAR IS MADE AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. THE PROBLEM IS AN ISSUE IN TURNS AND CAN KICK THE CAR OUT OF LINE IN WET, SNOWY OR ICY CONDITIONS SO MUCH THAT THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST MUST INTERVENE. THESE ARE NOT CONDITIONS THAT MY OTHER CAR HAS AN ISSUE WITH OR ANY CAR THAT I'VE OWNED IN THE PAST THAT DID NOT HAVE VSA. THE ISSUE IS NOT DUE TO THE REAR END OF THE CAR BEING LIGHT DUE TO NOT HAVING A SPARE TIRE AS SOME HAVE BEEN TOLD, THIS ISSUE IS PURELY THE FAULT OF HYUNDAI AND MAY EVEN INVOLVE THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING NOT BEING PROPERLY TUNED TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE AS THE WHEEL WILL ABRUPTLY RETURN TO A POSITION FAR LEFT OF CENTER. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH OTHER 2011 TO 2013 ELANTRA OWNERS AND THEY HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINTS AND I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER CARS AND THEY EXHIBIT THE SAME ISSUE. ITS LONG OVERDUE FOR A RECALL NHTSA. *TR |
| 2013 | AIR BAGS | WHEN I WAS SIDESWIPED AND THEN HE DROVE DOWN THE WHOLE LEFT SIDE OF MY CAR THE AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF. I WENT UP A SOME HILL AND HIT CABLE BOX AND STILL NO AIRBAGS MY BACK DOOR WAS ON THE STREET AFTERWARDS. THE FRONT DRIVERS DOOR WAS PUSHED IN ABOUT 3-5 INCHES AND STILL NOT AIRBAGS THEY SAY HE DID NOT HIT ME IN THE RIGHT SPOT. SOME OF THE FRONT AND REAR BUMPER IS MISSING TO. I AM NOT SURE WHERE HE NEEDED TO HIT ME IF WE HAVE 6 AIRBAGS THAT SHOULD GO OFF THEN WHY NO AIRBAGS . I HAVE SEEN LESS DAMAGE TO A CAR AND THERE AIRBAGS GO OFF. I HAVE OWN HYUNDAI'S FOR OVER 14 YEARS AND THIS CAR SUCKS . I WILL NEVER PAY AGAIN MY CAR IS TOTALED SO I AM STILL CONFUSED AT WHERE MY AIRBAGS NEED TO BE HIT TO GO OFF. *TR |
