My 2013 hyundai elantra gls has the swerving problem. Any time i'm on an uneven patch of road or a bump, it's like i lose control of my car. You have to keep 2 hands on the wheel at all times to try & keep some control. I hope you agree that this is a safety issue. Please open an investigation. This safety defect exists in a group of cars please order a recall. *tr

I purchased this car in july 2014. A. 2013 hyundai elantra and after 3 weeks the front passenger tire went out after barely hitting curb around by september 2014, the drivers tire was deflating replaced. On 2/10/2015 the tire in rear went out while driving on highway, the dealership says it could because a nail got into the tire and caused the problem. It just seems a bit unusual for 3 tires in less than a year of…

My 2013 elantra coupe fishtails when you hit a bump or uneven place in the road. This is a very scary feeling and will cause accidents. I am very shocked that hyundai has not recalled these cars for safety reasons because there are many many complaints on here so it must have been brought to their attention. It is my hope that they recall this issue now before there are more accidents. I also have the problem with…

As others have mentioned, i have had both problems starting the vehicle (the car could not be started on two occasions so far, despite having adequate fuel and a charged battery), and with the rear of the car swinging out when traveling over a bump or on slippery road conditions (even at speeds as low as 35 mph, there is a noticeable kick from the rear of the vehicle, which has worsened with time). For both cases,…

As soon as i bought my car and drove it away, i noticed that it fish tails when it drives over uneven roads or potholes. My first time on the freeway with it was definitely a frightening experience. As soon as i hit about 60 mph i was fishtailing so bad that i had to death grip my steering wheel with both hands until i could exit off. I feared for my life, i seriously felt like i was going to lose control of my…

Since buying this car in november 2014, i noticed an issue with stability while driving on the highway and was unsure as to what was causing the car to feel like it was jumping after hitting small bumps. After doing some research i understand now that it is the suspension that is causing this instability. The bumps i hit on the highway are not major bumps, these are just the small ones that transition from section…

They car drives fine until you hit a any sort of bump or hole in the road. When that happens the back end wiggles and in the rain it is much worse. It is even worse on the highway going at a higher speed. I have read several other complaints online with drivers facing similar issues. I am worried that it will one day lose control. I do not feel like i am in control of the car, i've taken it to the dealer several…

I bought my 2013 hyundai elantra gt on september 12, 2014, it had 41053 miles on it. As i left the dealership it was raining very hard and i noticed that it was very difficult to keep the car in my lane; my car was pulling to the right, not only that, i hit a bump or manhole and the bad end of the car fishtailed so bad that i thought i was going to hit the car that was in the right lane. I was driving a few days…

On my way to work i was exiting the highway and i hit a bump. I was taken by surprise as what felt like the rear of the car bounced up abnormally and lurch toward the guard rail. The handling on rough surfaces is awful. This could lead to an accident. I just bought this car used and the engine is noisy which i am told this is the timing chain. I never had a car like this in my long life. The handling really worries…

Today apr. 23 i brought my car in again for service and received the same…

I have found that since purchasing my hyundai elantra that anytime i hit a pothole or bump that the whole car shifts to the right or left. I went around a corner the other day at a low speed and hit a bump, the whole back end slid to the right. I find this very unsettling. I'm not sure if this is a suspension problem with my vehicle or a vehicle defect in general with this car. I find it unsettling and unsafe that…

When you drive over a bump / pot hole / road irregularity the rear end of the car jumps and acts as if it is going to fishtail (like hitting a patch of ice in the wintertime). This occurs at any speed above 25 and get more pronounced the faster you are driving. A quick search of the internet indicates that this is not isolated to just my car. *tr

Recall please !! I spent my life savings on this car and it is dangerous to drive. The car fish tails over small bumps and at low speeds. In winter driving its almost out of control and a separate set of snow tires is mandatory so you don't get killed. When it crosses railroad tracks it actually tends to turn on its own onto the direction of the tracks ! If you hit a dip in the road the car seems to lose control.…

My girlfriend purchased a brand new hyundai elantra last year and since purchasing the vehicle it has not driven properly. At first i attributed it to the fact that she had studded tires on the vehicle during the winter, however that is not the case. The vehicle drives wherever it wants, basically. It pulls to the left, it pulls to the right--anywhere but straight!! It is difficult to steer the vehicle. I have…

From the day i bought the car home seemed alittle funny how the back of the car shifts around. Thought maybe after a few miles it would go away. The next day my dad took the car out for a drive and noticed the same thing. Now today on the highway was driving back from work and hit a little bump with a very small curve and i thought i would crash into the dividers. The back of the car shifted around alot. Almost lost…

I purchased the 2013 hyundai elantra gls with 13,400 miles on february 15, 2014. After a few days of driving the vehicle i realized that the car floats all over the road when driving pretty much at any speed. You have to hold the steering wheel with both hands to keep control of the vehicle. The rear of the vehicle also jumps around when driving over imperfections on the roadway. The back end suspension is very…
