Jerks When Changing Gears
2013 Hyundai Elantra
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.

2013 Hyundai Elantra started jerking hard while shifting from 1st to 2nd gear on cold shift. This problem started at about 45,000 miles and the transmission was finally replaced at 58,000 miles. The technician said the transmission fluid was a quart low and smelled burnt. He also said it wasn’t leaking it so there wasn’t enough transmission fluid put in at the factory. This is just inexcusable that Hyundai has such a bad quality control, they can’t even put enough transmission fluid in their cars at the factory.
