Description of the problem | The car had many small problems to begin with. The steering wheel never sat straight and there were many lights for low tire pressure even though the pressure was fine. The transmission also broke 3 months after purchasing. I noticed the car started to shake and handle became very hard to control. Suddenly the rpm went all the way 8 on the highway. The car started to shake violently and i had to pull over to the side of the interstate. This was a near miss accident. If i had driven a little further where there was a merge in the highway, i would have definitely lost my life. When i called hyundai customer support, they also informed me that other hyundai elantra's were also experiencing transmission problems and they predicted a recall in the near future. |
