Vehicle sways at moderate to high accelerations and upon hitting obstacles, or even in significant winds or drafts. Veering slightly left or right after bumps was commonplace, but after 113,000, over the course of just a few days sway problem has become severe at accelerations above 45 mph. Have since read online about numerous hyundai owners experiencing the same problem and reporting to dealerships with this…

My 2014 hyundai elantra has numerous issues. The car feels unsafe when driving down interstate when a very small flaw makes it seem you are losing control of the vehicle. It feels as if the back end is coming around as if it is going to do a [redacted]. It also has a feeling in the steering wheel that it wants to lock up and have to apply more pressure to wheel and it finally breaks loose but feels uncomfortable as…

When driving on the highway or a street and encounter a curve in the road, with some bumps in the road, the car just chatters sideways. Sometimes enough to almost go into the other lane. When you hit a bump straight on it just feels like the car is bottoming out. In my opinion i really feel that the suspension system is absolutely terrible and is very dangerous as if you hit more than one bump the car literally…

Suspension consistently bounces over bumps on the freeway, sometimes so severe the car feels as if it will lose control and end up in another lane. Dealer replaced both rear shocks, which provided little improvement, as the front of the car still seems to bounce/hop over bumps at most speeds over 15mph. Vehicle still feels unstable, unsafe to drive. All dealers seem to deny there is an issue with seemingly little…

The car sways from side to side, it is noticeable at around 25 mph and it becomes an issue reaching speeds of 70mph and above (at this pint the car sways far too much and feels unsafe to drive). I thought this could be tires, balancing, or alignment, but after doing maintenance with those three things, the car continues to sway a lot. When i go over a small bump the car shifts to the sides. Upon further online…

When going around minor bends in the road if you hit a pothole the rearend fishtails. One stretch of road that is travelled daily is a 25 mph speed limit with railroad tracks on the bend. Every time you hit the tracks the back end jumps to the right. The other day we had light snow went around a turn at a green light the back end hit a bump and almost spun me out at a speed of 15. *js

On the elantra gt, there is notable problem with the rear suspension system. When holding the vehicle in a turn to go around a curve, such as a highway ramp, the vehicle's rear end will hop if it hits a bump in the road. I imagine this happens when going straight as well, but is not as noticeable. When going around a curve, the back and will fishtail slightly causing the vehicle to become unstable in its path. On…

On 5/30/14 i purchased a 2013 hyundai elantra close out with 54 miles on it. At 4300 miles i lost all control of the steering and the car went across 3 lanes of interstate 3 times before i regained control of the car. I returned the car to the dealer and had to "trade it in" to get a different car. I left the dealer with a 2014 elantra limited on 7/21/14 having to pay them an $4500 extra. The 2014 felt better on the…

While driving at highway speeds, the rear of the 2014 elantra consistently sways and at times causes vehicle to actually drift into other lanes which is a huge safety issue to me and my family, my fiancee is actually fearful of driving this car as i am. We have had the car back at dealer and have been told it's the way the car is made. I actually spoke on phone with hyundai motors eastern seaboard district manager…

I had filed a complaint once before on the same problem now to add to the problem is the fact that just yesterday on 25 april while driving on a [redacted] doing about 50 mph there were bumps in the road and i as i navigated the turn my car slid…

While driving at speeds up to 55-70 mph, i noticed when i go over potholes the entire backend fish tails. I took it to the dealer i purchased the vehicle from, they could not replicate. This happens every time i hit a pothole, uneven train tracks or uneven road conditions.took it to another mechanic who couldn't either. Now i'm at another hyundai dealership who also cannot replicate. I've noticed a lot of people…

Purchased vehicle may 2013. Noticed it pulled to the right severely. Dealership could not duplicate. Took shop foreman for a ride on 3 lane 65 mph highway. Taking a left curve i let go of the steering wheel. Car pulled to right and crossed two lanes. They decided to attempt to repair. All i remember is rotation of tires and i was told they could never be rotated again. Car is easier to drive but not completely…
