ON MARCH 07, 2014, MY HYUNDAI ELANTRA WAS HIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY A LARGE JEEP. WE TOOK OUR 17 YEAR OLD GRANDSON TO THE HOSPITAL TO BE CHECKED OUT BECAUSE OF A HEADACHE BUT OTHER THAN THAT THERE WERE NO INJURIES. MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP AND NOW TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. MY CONCERN IS; THERE HAVE BEEN TWO (2) FRONT AXLES PUT IN MY CAR AND NEITHER WORKED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WERE DEFECTIVE. THEY ORDERED A THIRD (3) ONE AND IT WAS DEFECTIVE. THEY DID NOT INSTALL IT. NOW THEY HAVE ORDERED THE FOURTH (4) AXLE TO INSTALL, IF IT ISN'T DEFECTIVE. IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR ALMOST 3 MONTHS. I DO NOT TRUST LUCK FOR ANOTHER DEFECTIVE FRONT AXLE. *TR

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2011 Hyundai Elantra Gt verdict →
