CarComplaints.com Notes: Be aware that there's a significant trend of owners complaining that the Elantra's fuel economy is significantly less than the EPA estimates.
car started with noise awhile after putting new tires on car. So I thought it was the tires. 15 to 20k miles later it is getting worse. Took to tire shop. they said not tires. it is suspension. So have to take care to dealer to see cost. out of warrenty now with 70k on car.
also if you notice on these cars. both of the Elantra 2008 and 2012 both run about 2 miles hour less than actually driving. So I wonder if really getting mpg if you are putting more miles on car per tank than what actually driving?
Update from Apr 2, 2016: I took to tire shop. they say suspension. I take to hyundai they say tire. So traded it got another car. but was thinking. I think about time I put new tire on driver side because of flat. and shortly later noticed noice started. I am wondering if new tire on one side threw off ballance of axle and let lower tire bounce and start the cupping of tire on in side of tire which make tire make noise? if you have input let me know. but traded 2012 car in. kinda sad because had it payed down. new 2017 prices are just to much money. good luck.
