Description of the problem | My hyundai makes a clunking noise from the front end. It happens whenever i shift from park to drive/reverse, drive to reverse, and vice versa, and also if i speed up, or slow down quickly. I tried getting the vehicle checked out at a dealer, and i was told "i don't know why, but many of the elantra's come from factory making that noise, and we don't know why. Obviously, if it was a safety issue, then hyundai would have issued a recall by now." i was upset by this statement, because it does cause my vehicle to jerk when i am accelerating and breaking, as well as other strange things, so i am concerned that there is a safety issue here. I did buy this vehicle pre-owned, and it has been happening since the day i bought it. I brought the vehicle back to try to get it repaired under warranty, but i was told that there wasn't anything that could be done to fix the issue. I feel really uncomfortable driving my own vehicle when there is something wrong with it, and according to the dealer, there is nothing i can do to resolve this issue. |
