Description of the problem | When i first purchased the vehicle it stalled out on the freeway. Took it to hyundai but they could not duplicate issue. I have also had thick white smoke come out of the trail pipe on multiple occasions. The smoke is so heavy that i can't see the cars behind me. The dealership also can't duplicate this when i take it in so i haven't been able to diagnose the issue. To top it off i traded in a v6 that was getting 23 mph for the elantra so that i could save money on the combined 32 mpg. Not even close. In town is 21 mpg. Combined is normally 23 mpg. Another issue happens when i brake. If i need to brake fast and hard it sounds and feels like the car it's going to fall apart. This issue i haven't bothered to report as i am just so disappointed with all the issues. I have been a loyal hyundai owner of different models since 1999. I have a feeling this will be my last hyundai. |
