Description of the problem | I own a hyundai 2013 elantra and i have had several issues with this car. The car has several times refused to start and the break pad gets stuck and i can't move the car out of park. I've had to call the tow truck several times and the only way to make the car start again is to manually shift it into neutral. This is a huge safety hazard, the car almost ran over me, once when i didnt apply the emergency break on when the person was manually putting the car in neutral!!!! Additionally, the car shakes. I took it in to the dealership and because it was still under warranty they inspected it. Once i came back they said that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle, and that the shaking was due to the power of the motor, that i needed to get use to it!! I've had to also replace my tires because they seem to wear off, and i can't drive the vehicle over anything without swerving. I've had the car aligned and my car still swerves/pulls to the left! There needs to be a recall on this car!! I cant get my car fixed because the dealership cant find anything wrong with it! I am now stuck making car payments to a lemon car! I've had two accidents on this car already one i reported to the my insurance and they were able to fix it. There was a tire on the highway and i was too scare to swirve the car to avoid it because i know the car cant handle something like that. So i had to get the impact of it. Please recall this car! |
