2017 Hyundai Elantra

I WAS DRIVING A SAFE DISTANCE BEHIND A CAR THAT CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP IN FRONT ON ME. THE CAR THAT STOPPED IN FRONT ON HER WAS AN OLDER MODEL EXPLORER 4 DR. THERE WAS ALSO A AT THAT SUDDENLY STOPPED IN FRONT OF THE EXPLORER . AS I APPLIED MY BRAKES IT WAS AS IF THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP. I'M NOT SUE IF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BRAKE LIGHTS WERE WORKING BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE HOW I HIT THE CAR FROM BEHIND ! MY CAR WAS TOTALED AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY DROPPED ME FOR THE ACCIDENT ! I WAS ON A CITY STREET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TEAM HYUNDAI OF BEND (2250 NE HWY 20, BEND, OR 97701, (833) 236-6111) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LACK OF OIL CHANGES CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 11617234. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,400.

THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AS A NEW CAR WITH 3 MILES ON THE ODOMETER FROM AN AUTHORIZED HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN JUNE 2016. IN AUGUST 2018, THE CAR WAS DRIVEN FOR A LITTLE OVER 30,000 (HIGHWAY)MILES AND WAS CHECKED FOR THE 30K-MILE-SERVICE AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. THE DAY AFTER, ENGINE CHECK LINE TURNED ON AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING HEAVILY IN BOTH HIGH AND LOW SPEED. ALTHOUGH I KNEW THAT THE ISSUE WAS RELATED TO THE ENGINE MISFIRE, AND WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE A OBDII SCAN RESULTS FROM AUTOZONE, BUT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP COMPLETELY IGNORED ALL INFORMATION I PROVIDED. IN FACT, THEY BOASTED ABOUT HOW WELL THEIR "HYUNDAI SCANNERS" ARE THE ONLY SCANNERS THAT CAN CORRECTLY SCAN THE VEHICLE. CONSEQUENTLY, I HAD TO MAKE FOUR VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP WITHIN FIVE DAYS IN ORDER FOR THEM TO ADMIT THEIR MISTAKE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, NOW THE ENGINE IS STILL THROTTLING IN AN UNUSUAL MANNER AT A VERY SUBTLE LEVEL. I SPOKE TO THE HYUNDAI'S REGIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT HOW THIS MISFIRE COULD LEAD TO DANGEROUS SITUATIONS ON A HIGHWAY WHERE A DRIVER'S AT A GREATER RISK IN HIGHER SPEED TRAFFIC. BUT THE RESPONSE WAS SIMPLY ADVISING ME TO CONTINUE VISITING THE DEALERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA EQUIPPED WITH HANKOOK TIRES, TIRE LINE: VENUS S1 NOBLE 2, TIRE SIZE: 225/40/R18 N/A WITH A SPEED RATING OF 88W, DOT #: 5MRL1AH4716. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TURNING INTO A DRIVEWAY AT 15 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT TIRE EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THREE OF THE VEHICLE'S TIRES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE, EXPERIENCED SEVERE CRACKING AND PEELING AROUND THE SIDEWALLS. CNS CAR COMPANY (812 WASHINGTON ST, WATERLOO, IOWA 50702 (319-291-7321)) WAS CONTACTED REGARDING THE FAILURE AND SCHEDULED THE CONTACT AN APPOINTMENT TO INSPECT AND REPLACED THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT TIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO WARRANTY COVERAGE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE OF THE OEM EQUIPMENT WAS INITIALLY 4,500. THE FAILURE MILEAGE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT TIRE AND VEHICLE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000.

BOUGHT CAR BRAND NEW, FROM DEALER. ALL 4 HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE2 TIRES EXHIBIT CRACKING AND SEPARATION ON SIDEWALL OF TIRES, INSIDE HUB AND EXTERNAL. THIS IS NOT OZONE CRACKING. DEALERSHIP DETERMINED DEFECTIVE TIRE BASED ON MAINTENANCE RECORDS, VISUAL INSPECTION AND TIRE CARE. THIS ISSUE IS IDENTICAL TO ONE DESCRIBED IN PREVIOUS HANKOOK TIRE RECALL FROM JANUARY 2016, EXCEPT FOR TIRE SIZE AND DOT. HANKOOK TIRES WANT TO ISSUE PARTIAL CREDIT. TIRES ARE UNSAFE FOR USE AS DEALERSHIP MENTIONED ONE POT HOLE AND A BLOWOUT WILL OCCUR.

I FIRST EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM 08/14/18 DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON I295N, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR DIDN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE. ON 08/16/18 THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED BUT THIS TIME IT LASTED UNTIL I MADE IT LATE THAT EVENING. I TOOK IT TO HYUNDAI OF ORANGE PARK 08/17/18 HERE IN JACKSONVILLE AND THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK 08/22/18 MY CAR STARTED DOING THE SAME THING ONLY THIS TIME YOU COULD FEEL THE VIBRATION OF THE CAR NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WOULD GO OFF AS I'M CHANGING GEARS AND SOON AS I AM DONE SHIFTING IT STAYS ILLUMINATED.I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER AGAIN AND SHE SAYS TO BRING IT BACK IN FOR TESTING AND THEY CAN ONLY FIX IT IF THEY CAN DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC NOT KNOWING IF IT WILL CUTOFF AND I AM HIT.

WHILE THE CAR WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVE, THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF ALL OF THE LIGHTS EXCEPT THE HEADLIGHTS AND REVERSE LIGHTS TURNED ON. THE ONLY WAY I COULD TURN THEM OFF IS IF I TURNED THE CAR ON AND BACK OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 DAYS. THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT HAPPENED WAS ABOUT 2 HOURS APART FROM EACH OTHER. THE SECOND TIME THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF ON THEIR OWN WITHIN 30 MINUTES. THE THIRD TIME I WAS AT WORK AND AM NOT SURE HOW LONG THE LIGHTS WERE ON BUT I WALKED OUT OF WORK TO THEM ON.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA EX CAR OFF THE LOT THAT CAME STOCK WITH ALL NEXEN TIRES. WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE OF MONTHS, UNDER 2000 MILES, I NOTICED THE TIRE LOOKED LIKE THE RUBBER WAS SHREDDING AND SAW SIDEWALL BUBBLING. HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW TIRE WHEN THE ORIGINAL TIRE HAD HARDLY ANY USE. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER, WE NOTICED A BUBBLE ON THE REAR TIRE, TOOK IT IN TO GOODYEAR, ANOTHER BARELY USED TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE. WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER, HE GOT A FLAT AND THE WHOLE SIDEWALL WAS SEPARATED AND DAMAGED, THE 3RD DEFECTIVE TIRE. YESTERDAY, WHILE DRIVING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ON OUR WAY HOME, A BLOWOUT IN THE LAST OF THE NEXEN TIRES. LITERALLY A HOLE IN THE SIDEWALL. THIS WAS A NEW CAR, WITH NEW TIRES. ALL 4 MANUFACTURED TIRES ON THE CAR WERE DEFECTIVE. THANK GOD WE WERE NOT KILLED ON THE FREEWAY OR HARMED ANYONE WITH THIS HAZARDOUS BRAND OF TIRE. THIS TIRE HAS FAILED, ALL FOUR NEW TIRES FAILED. 2 IMAGES ARE ATTACHED. TWO FAILED ON THE HIGHWAY, TWO FAILED ON CITY STREETS. SHAME ON NEXEN FOR NOT RECALLING THIS TIRE YET. I'VE CALLED NEXEN WARRANTY BUT HAD TO LEAVE A MESSAGE.

I HAVE HAD A TON OF ISSUES. MY BLIND SPOT SENSORS ONLY WORK OCCASIONALLY. (I ACTUALLY KNOW SOMEONE ELSE WITH A HYUNDAI THAT IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM). ADDITIONALLY, SENSORS GO OFF AT RANDOM. I HAVE HAD THE WARNINGS FOR FLAT TIRE POP UP MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN THERE WAS NO FLAT TIRE. ONE OF THE TONES MY STEERING WHEEL ACTUALLY LOCKED UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH MY RADIO SCREEN AND THE RADIO PLAYING. MY PUSH TO START BUTTON ALSO HAS ISSUES. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT TURN THE WHOLE CAR OFF. THEY REPLACED SOMETHING IN THE BOTTOM BUT IT IS STILL HAPPENING. TODAY IT ACTUALLY HAD A HARD TIME STARTING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I GOT THE CAR. I'VE HAD IT LESS THAN A YEAR AND IT HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP A COUPLE DOZEN TIMES. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL TIMES BOTH WHEN I'M MOVING AND NOT MOVING DEPENDING ON THE ISSUES. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING SLOWER AND FASTER. MY SCREEN HAS ALSO FROZEN AND I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO USE IT. BOTH IN MOTION AND PARKED. P
