Suspension Unstable
2013 Hyundai Elantra (Page 2 of 2)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Hyundai dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: We're not used to seeing any major problems with Hyundai, which makes the early signs of trouble with the 2013 Elantra very surprising, in a bad way.
Early trends show problems with the steering wandering / pulling to one side along with premature tire wear. Elantra owners have tried sensor adjustments, wheel alignments, even replacing axles, most with no luck. Hyundai has made vehicle buybacks through arbitration, but that rarely works out well financially for owners in the end.
Also there is a pattern of complaints about the 2013 Elantra brakes grinding at very low mileage. It seems there was a bad batch of OEM pads & rotors, but so far Hyundai is not doing a recall. Instead Hyundai issued a TSB & dealers have been replacing pads & rotors on a per-complaint basis.
The final straw is that for several years in a row, Elantra owners report significantly lower gas mileage than the EPA estimates, & there's a small trend of engine problems.

My first car buying was a disaster thanks to Hardin Hyundai in Anaheim, California. Besides the shady business the finance guy was trying to do behind my back, the worst problem I have with this car is its horrible cheap ass suspension!!!! This car jumps and rattles at every little bump on the road and is horrible on the highway! I am scared to drive this car sometimes because it feels so unstable. I took the car to the dealer within 2 days of purchasing it and all they said was they checked it out and everything is okay. This is extremely unacceptable and I am especially upset since this is my first brand new car, which I am A LOT of money for. If I had known this car was going to give me this kind of issue I would have just stayed with my old HOOPTIE which had better suspension that this "Car of the Year" B.S.!!!!!!
