MY 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAS NUMEROUS ISSUES. THE CAR FEELS UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE WHEN A VERY SMALL FLAW MAKES IT SEEM YOU ARE LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT FEELS AS IF THE BACK END IS COMING AROUND AS IF IT IS GOING TO DO A 360 IN THE ROAD. IT ALSO HAS A FEELING IN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT IT WANTS TO LOCK UP AND HAVE TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO WHEEL AND IT FINALLY BREAKS LOOSE BUT FEELS UNCOMFORTABLE AS IF YOU ARE GOING INTO OTHER LANES. IT DOES THIS IN EITHER DIRECTION. SOMETIMES I FEEL THE STEERING IS LOCKING UP AND COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY DIFFERENT REPORTS OF THESE SAME ISSUES AND APPARENTLY HYUNDAI CHARGES OUTRAGEOUS PRICES JUST TO TELL YOU NOTHING IS WRONG. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE CARS AND REALLY NEEDS ATTENTION BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

AFTER LESS THAN 2 YEARS, THE CAR BATTERY DIES AND DISABLES THE CONTROL OF THIS PARTICULAR CAR AND YEAR. MANY CUSTOMERS, ACCORDING TO REVIEWS, SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. SHOULD THE BATTERY FALTER WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, SERIOUS ACCIDENTS COULD RESULT. MY VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT A SLOW PACE IN THE PARKING LOT WHEN THE BATTERY DIED. I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. I WAS NOT EXPECTING THE BATTERY TO DIE AS IT IS ONLY ABOUT 18 MONTHS OLD. I DO NOT HAVE A PICTURE. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP.

I HAVE A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WHICH FOR SOME REASON WHEN GOING INTO A TURN ON A ROAD OR STREET THAT HAS SOME BUMPS ON IT THE CAR WHEN HITTING THE BUMPS CHATTERS SIDEWAYS. I HAD FILED A COMPLAINT ONCE BEFORE ON THE SAME PROBLEM NOW TO ADD TO THE PROBLEM IS THE FACT THAT JUST YESTERDAY ON 25 APRIL WHILE DRIVING ON A 2 LANE ROAD DOING ABOUT 50 MPH THERE WERE BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND I AS I NAVIGATED THE TURN MY CAR SLID SIDEWAYS APPROXIMATELY 2 FEET AND HIT THE SHOULDER WHICH BLEW MY REAR TIRE. I JUST CALLED THE SERVICE STATION AND IT WILL BE APPROXIMATELY $161 TO REPLACE THE TIRE. THE SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS. I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT SERIOUSLY OR KILLED, THE CALL WAS VERY HARD TO CONTROL AFTER HITTING THE SHOULDER AND BLEW OUT THE TIRE

THE STEERING LOCKS IN THE CENTER AS IF THERE IS A CATCH OR SOMETHING, WHAT HAPPENS IS, WHILE DRIVING YOUR TRYING TO KEEP CENTER IN YOUR LANE, AS THE CAR WILL EITHER DRIFT TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, IT WILL NEVER STAY CENTERED, OK SO WHILE DOING SO, ONCE YOU TRY TO CORRECT TO CENTER THE CAR, THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO LOCK OR CATCHES, SO AS, WHEN YOUR TRYING TO CORRECT IT, IT TAKES A LOT OF FORCE TO OVER COME THIS LOCKING OR CATCHING IN THE STEERING WHEEL, SO MUCH AS TO, ONCE YOUR ABLE TO OVER COME THE LOCKING/CATCHING IT THEN OVER CORRECTS AND CAUSES THE CAR TO DART THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. IT HAS CAUSED ME NUMEROUS TIMES TO GO INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC OR ONTO THE SHOULDER, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS I RACE DIRT TRACK, I KNOW HOW TO HANDLE A CAR AND I CAN SAY WITH A 100% FIRM CONVICTION, THAT THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNSAFE AND A HUGE HAZARD TO HUMAN LIFE.. AND THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE IT AND AT ALL SPEEDS, THOUGH BECOMES INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS AS SPEEDS INCREASE, NOW ALSO ILL BE MAKING A YOUTUBE VIDEO OF IT SOON.. 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA ELECTRONIC STEERING DANGERS OR SOMETHING OF THE LIKE.. I REALLY HOPE THIS IS RESOLVED ASAP.. PEACE AND THANKS FOR THIS FORUM.

2014 ELANTRA WITH APPROXIMATELY 13,000 MILES. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 50-70MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS AT THE CENTER POSITION. SLIGHT PRESSURE NORMALLY REQUIRED TO CHANGE LANES DOES NOT EFFECTIVELY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL ENOUGH TO CORRECT STEERING IN ORDER TO REMAIN IN A STRAIGHT LINE. WHEN ENOUGH PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO CORRECT STEERING, A SLIGHT POP IS FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL.
