problem #1

Elantra GT GLS 1.8L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 3,000 miles

Hyundai said nothing was wrong with rear suspension but a government official found a leaky rear shock and Hyundai would only replace the one shock but this not not remove the poor and dangerous handling. After having to have the steering box replaced I also had the mechanic replace both rear shocks this time and the problem subsided greatly and almost drives like a normal car now. If Hyundai had just replaced both rear shocks at the time of finding one broken and not forcing me to take them to court regarding the one rear shock replacement, then maybe I would not have had to replace the steering box which has also failed and I stated in another complaint.

Do not purchase a Hyundai vehicle because you only be harassed and belittled by this horrible company when your car is not working correctly. They will not repair or replace anything under warranty and you will have to fight to even have them do regular maintenance correctly. I was charged twice for a rad flush and had to fight to get my money back when I showed them they had already changed it 3 weeks earlier.
