To whom it may concern: it grieves me to escalate this concern to the national highway safety administration. I have attempted to seek resolution with hyundai, but the corporate office is unresponsive and ignorant to the safety concern. The problem lies in the defect of the power steering coupler on hyundai elantra models that affects tires, steering, balancing, alignment. The manufacturer is aware of the defect and…

I found a flat tire on my front right tire yesterday as it was sitting stationary in my work parking lot. (19may2016). Upon further inspection it was found that my wheel/rim was cracked and dented. I did not hit a pothole, run off the road, have a wreck, etc.. So there is no reason it should have happened.

This is the second set of brand new tires (michelins) that has failed in less than 25k miles on the 17" rims this car came with. Every small pothole is felt so strongly, the wipers go on and the glove box pops open. There is very little rubber bet. The rim and the road. We don't want to end up dead in a ditch when one of these tires blows out. As noted on the hyundai blogs, this is a common problem with this model…

My tires have developed bulges after only 24000 miles of use. I have the following, original tires: p214/45r17 my tires have significant and dangerous bulges, which can lead to dangerous driving and blow outs. If this is characteristic of all tires in the set, i'd like to be reimbursed for a set of tires that do this, their installation, and the decreased fuel efficiency that will come from having smaller tires. I…

On march 07, 2014, my hyundai elantra was hit on the passenger side by a large jeep. We took our 17 year old grandson to the hospital to be checked out because of a headache but other than that there were no injuries. My vehicle was taken to a repair shop and now to a hyundai dealership. My concern is; there have been two (2) front axles put in my car and neither worked. The dealership said they were defective. They…

In late november the tire pressure indicator came on. I pumped up the tire. It came back on again several days later. The car has michelin all season radials that i had installed in february of this year. I assumed that i had picked up a nail or something similar, so i took the car back to sam's club to have the tire repaired. I was told they had bad news and bad news. The worst was that they could nor repair it,…

Have had several issues with tire wear on the 17 inch tire provided with the 2011 elantra limited. Every other tire set i have purchased for other vehicles would last 40-50k miles or more, but with this car, i was only getting ~25k miles per set. I was on my third set of tires(not discount tires, three different brands as well) with only ~78k miles when the rear passenger tire had a sidewall blowout. I was fortunate…

Three separate incidents over three years beginning in 2012 and continuing to 2015. Two cracked rims, three sidewall bulges, resulting in two tire blow-outs and one almost-ready-to-blow. Car has low-profile tires, which combined with hyundai stiff front suspension renders car unable to handle any kind of rough roads or potholes. Extremely dangerous. *tr

On numerous occasions the tires blow out or get a large bulge in the sidewall. And the rims also bend. The littlest pothole or bump will cause this to happen. This is because of a poor design by hyundai . These low profile wheels and tires don't belong on this car as the suspension is way too stiff for these wheels and tires. It doesn't matter what brand of tire i put on the car the same thing still keeps…

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the flat tire repair kit that consisted of fix-a-flat and an air compressor failed to remedy a flat tire. The contact believed the flat tier repair kit was a hazard since the vehicle did not come equipped with a spare tire. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. The…

On this 2011 hyundai elantra touring, the left (driver's side) front tire developed a bubble after only 2240 miles. The tire was a kumho solus kh16 215/45/17. The hyundai dealer advised me that the tire warranty was directly with kumho, not with the dealer or hyundai. Representatives of two kumho tire dealers (discount tire and sears) said any bubbles were the result of impact, such as with a pothole, and the kumho…
