Description of the problem | From the day i bought the car home seemed alittle funny how the back of the car shifts around. Thought maybe after a few miles it would go away. The next day my dad took the car out for a drive and noticed the same thing. Now today on the highway was driving back from work and hit a little bump with a very small curve and i thought i would crash into the dividers. The back of the car shifted around alot. Almost lost total control of the car for a good few seconds. Scared the hell out of me. Wondering why hyundai has not made a recall on this situation. By the way it is not my first time i noticed the car doing this. Was searching around seems like this is a very big problem on the elantra's. Is hyundai just waiting for a big lawsuit to happen? |
