The tires that came with my elantra ((hankook h426 215/45 17) had to be replaced in less than 18 months as the side wall was bulging dangerously. My son who has a 2010 elantra with hankook tires had a blow-out while driving. I think these hankook tires are dangerously unreliable. Thank you. *tr

Flat tire. Brand new from the dealer only 22000 miles on the tire. Not past warranty. No work was ever done on the tire. Found out that it was purchased brand new with a plug in it. *tr

Purchased 2013 elantra less than a year ago with hankook tires. Driver side tire blew out on 6/15/14 at 11k miles. Thank god it happened going around a corner at slower speed than highway driving. Another tire on the rear was also blistered and ready to pop - we had to change before driving to avoid bending another rim should tire blow. Anyway, to make a long story short, neither dealer or tire manufacturer would…

I was driving on the highway when all of a sudden my low pressure tire light came on. As i was slowing down, the passenger rear tire suddenly blew and i began fishtailing until i could control the vehicle and come to a complete stop on the side of the road. The vehicle came with hankook optimo tires, and they are only 10 months old with about 22000 miles on them, well under the warranty. Had to get a flatbed tow and…

Purchased new 2013 from dealer. Mileage at pick up - 212. I picked the car up, approximately 2 wks after signing paperwork, because my mom was hospitalized. I drove the car for a couple of wks - to work, the hospital. I'm 48 yrs old, i drive cautiously. It's my first new car in 17 years. I'm parking far from all cars + being very careful with the car. The car has been having some problems so i gave it a really close…

I was driving on i278 west bound in brooklyn, ny, and my driver side front tire went over a pot hole. It wasn't a deep pot hole since the impact was not severe, so i continue driving. After a minute of driving, the tire pressure indicator came on. That's when i pull over to the side of the highway, and called road side assistance. This has happened four times since i purchased the car. Three out of the 4 cases…

Service Brakes · Wheels
Our elantra began making grinding noises when we pressed on the brake pedal that sounded like the brakes or rotor were defective. When the shop inspected the car, they said they could not duplicate the noise, and told us the car was in perfect shape. Over the next few months, the noise became louder when braking, plus it began making a whump-whump-whump noise that appeared to be directly related to the speed and…

While driving my 2013 hyundai elantra down the highway @ approx 50mph, the left rear tire failed in the center of the tread. No warning. The car is driven by my teenage daughter for school and work. She hit nothing in the road. Hasn't hit anything with the tire. Dealership says it was due to a puncture. I refuse to believe that. If you have wire(s) showing, seems to me that would be a tire failure and not a simple…

The night i bought this car i drove home and there was a snow dusting on the road. The car seemed to float all over the road. Whenever i hit a small bump, pot hole, or a seam in the road (no matter how small) the car jerks out of control and swerves dangerously across the road. I thought i had to get used to the steering, but it has been a constant issue. I am very nervous for winter to lose control of the car and…

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that while traveling at unknown speeds, she hit a pot hole and experienced a blow out. Upon inspection, it was found that the vehicle was not equipped with a spare tire and the equipment provided was not sufficient to repair the blow out. The manufacturer was contacted about the issue.

The car came with continental tires and both the front tires sidewall have bubbles. Seems to be tire defect. Hyundai - brad benson hyundai - nj refused to cover the tires. Huyndai refused to replace the tires. Continental tires paid 50 % of the cost to replace both the front tires. I still paid 160/- for 2 front tires. There seems to be a defect in the tires or the elantra 2013 4 dr ltd design. I would like to be…

The rear end of the car jumps around and feels unstable in wind or on wet or uneven surfaces. It feels like i could easily lose control, very frightening. I have 4/32 tire tread left on 60k michelins after only 32k miles driven. The first set of tires lasted only 28k. This form will not let me proceed without a date, but this is a continuous problem, not a one time thing.

Every few months one of the tires on our 2013 elantra limited fails while driving. Our car currently has just 11,000 miles and is less than 1 year old and since we bought the car we have had 2 tires blow holes in the sidewall (months apart from each other) and a third developed a large blister. My dealer referred me to hyundai cust svc, hyundai customer service told me that they do not cover the tires at all and it…

I have a brand new hyundai elantra gt with 17" wheels. It has about 3200 miles on it. I know that i recently hit a pothole on the highway, but nothing that i thought was very serious. I discovered a bubble on my left front tire shortly thereafter and ordered a brand new nexen 215/45r17, which is the brand the car came with. When the shop installed the tire, they discovered that my other front tire also had a smaller…

My hyundai came with kumho tires. Just a little over a month old and one of the tires is defective. Dealer and hyundai say it is not their problem, call the manufacturer. Tire has a ping pong ball size buldge. Manufacturer is rude and says sorry but we don't care. Sears says that all the other manufacturers they deal with (goodyear, michelin, etc) would cover but they always have problems with this company. They…

Vehicle fishtails and sways when hitting a bump or a seam in the road. This happens every time. Yesterday evening i hit a seam in the road on a curve (dry pavement) and it threw me into the other lane. I'm grateful there was not a car in the other lane it would have caused an accident. Dealership states there is no recall or known issue but this is a very dangerous characteristic of this vehicle and it's going to…
