Passenger side coil spring on my 2016 Elantra snapped after driving over a normally worn road. Taking to a mechanic tomorrow to assess the damage. This is the same issue my significant other had with his 2011 sonata and a friend of mine's 2015 Elantra. Finding it very odd that there are several recalls out for the same reason on many other years and on sonatas.

2/22/2019 car has 55,000 miles but for past year have had problems with braking on uneven surfaces [cracks, potholes] on highway, streets. When braking car feels like you are braking on full metal and bottom of car feels like it is coming apart. Another issue from the beginning of owning the car are issues with car hesitating upon lifting foot from the accelerator. My sister who owns the same car/year, has the same issue. Problems reported: Suspension/acceleration.

I purchased the 2016 Hyundai Elantra GT from van horn Hyundai in sheboygan wi on 8/18/17. It was sold as certified pre owned - no accidents. The auto check report they provided showed a clean history. I began experiencing what seemed to be suspension issues- car would skip sideways on bumps and had the feeling that it wanted to fishtail. I ordered a carfax report and it showed the vehicle was in 2 accidents, and after more digging, I found it was sold by insurance auto auctions to joe van horn Chevrolet in Plymouth wi. When I presented the dealership with what I had discovered, they claimed it was a mistake and that they had no way of knowing the history of the vehicle since it was originally purchased by one of their other dealerships. They did, however, show me the vehicle check list from joe van horn which shows major damage to this vehicle including frame repairs and air bag deployment. They purchased the vehicle back from me for what I paid and I got a different vehicle that actually did check out. This was a clear case of fraud by the dealership and they knew they were found out. I am happy that they didn't give me any grief about returning the vehicle, most definitely to avoid a lawsuit! however, the vehicle is now listed for sale again 2 days after I returned it with no disclosure in the listing as to it's history. I believe that the frame of this vehicle was damaged in such a way as to prevent it from ever being properly aligned to drive safely.

One day after purchasing this car my problem began. Going over speeds of 30mph, if I hit any uneven surfaces or bumps in the road the car just wants to fish tail all over the road. This is a very scary thing to happen especially on the freeway. I constantly have to keep a death grip with both hands on the steering wheel. Just yesterday I nearly had a head on collision after hitting a bumpy part in the road. Thankfully I got control before it happened. This will be my second attempt at the dealership to get this resolved. During first attempt the dealership told me that these cars just have squirrely suspension and that's how they drive. This is unacceptable! somebody or a family is going to get hurt or killed if this is not corrected. Lemon law is in my search bar.
