Elantra 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 125,000 miles

The first month I bought the car the trunk latch broke, the passenger seat backing popped of and will not stay in place, and the interior trim has peeled off several locations. After 52k miles were put on the car the transmission housing blew apart. The first snow my rocker panel was damaged when I turned into my driveway and hit a pile of snow (my fault for hitting the snow but really buckling my rocker panels??) The first year I owned the car I had to replace all 4 valve stems due to them just blowing. Over all...I'll stick to Ford and NEVER buy another new car again since this was my first new car it hardly seems worth buying new again.
