Both sun visor plastic clips that hold the visor in place broke off and on the passenger side the visor is…

As with others that i have read the steering wheel vibrates over 60-65 mph and stops at higher speeds. The vechicle also pulls to the right. I have the original tires and have had my car since new. I have had 2 wheel alignments, 2 tire rotations and all tires balanced. All temporary fixes. The pulling gradually returned as did the vibration on the steering wheel. I don't feel safe driving this car.*ak

Odi id number : 10010329 odi id number : 10016373 please add me to the list of hyundai elantra owners who have severe steering wheel shake at speeds above 60 mph and hyundai has no idea how to correct the trouble. This has occurred since the vehicle was new and numerous attempts to fix the trouble have been fruitless. Unfortunately the problem is getting worse with mileage until the steering or tires are going to…

This vehicle is hazardous to be on the road. It has front end steering and suspension problems. It has a terrible vibration from 35 mph and up. If traveling on the highway the wheel shakes so badly that your hands go numb. I have had the vehicle in for service and repeated time over a two and a half year period, and the dealership has done nothing. I have also spoken with the manufacturers on several occasions, and…

During the winter of 2002, i began to experience a vibration in the steering wheel, along with the vehicle pulling to the right. I brought the vehicle to the local dealer who, after charging me for a balance and rotation to "identify the problem" told me that the problem was with the tires and alignment. The dealer insisted that there was no problem in the front end. In june, 2003 i had the factory michelin's (which…

The date provided is the first time i had…

At 20,000 miles, the rear tires were worn badly and unevenly. Was told by a michelin dealer it was unsafe to ride on tires. Was told by 2 dealerships (who did not look at the car) this was a rotation problem, even though the front tires were fine. Dealership finally realigned rear wheels, both were out of toe to the same degree. I complained the manufacturer should replace the tires since it was a problem with the…

Steering wheel vibration and shimmy since new. Takes place only at speeds above sixty miles per hour. Hyundai is aware of the problem and has not offered an actual solution to the problem as of yet. Numerous other hyundai owners have the same complaint. *jb
