Description of the problem | I bought my 2013 hyundai elantra gt on september 12, 2014, it had 41053 miles on it. As i left the dealership it was raining very hard and i noticed that it was very difficult to keep the car in my lane; my car was pulling to the right, not only that, i hit a bump or manhole and the bad end of the car fishtailed so bad that i thought i was going to hit the car that was in the right lane. I was driving a few days later, i hit another pothole and the car did that same thing but this time the roads were dry. At this point, i realize that the first incident had nothing to do with the roads being wet, it was the suspension on the car that's causes the car to pull to one side and for it to fishtail the way it does. I did some research and i realized that hyundai owners have complained about this problem for quite sometime but the hyundai corporation fails to acknowledge this as a problem; this is a very dangerous problem. To be honest, i'm a little frighten to drive my car; hyundai corporation needs to acknowledge that there is a suspension problem with the make and model and they need to do something to correct this problem asap before someone loses their life. |
