What 1,293 owners told NHTSA about the 2013 Hyundai Elantra Gt

PURCHASED WHAT I BELIEVE IS A LEMON FROM THE STAMFORD HYUNDAI. VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED AND RECALL ISSUES NOT ADDRESSED. ANOTHER CAR THAT HIT MINE STATED THAT MY CAR BRAKE LIGHTS INDICATED I STOPPED WHEN I ACTUALLY RELEASED THE BRAKE PEDAL. I BELIEVE THAT THE DEALERSHIP OVER CHARGED ME FOR A DEFECTED VEHICLE AND FAILED TO ADDRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL ISSUE WHICH CAUSED MY LANE CHANGE ACCIDENT. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE CAN ASSIST ME WITH THIS SERIOUS INFRACTION. AGAIN MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION BUT THE OTHER DRIVER SAID IT APPEARED TO BE. I WASN'T INFORMED BY THE SALESMAN OF ANY DEFECTS OR ISSUES. THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT I WAS DRIVING IN BROOKLYN NY ON REMSEN AVENUE. IMPACT OCCURRED ON REMSEN AND KINGS HIGHWAY. ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THIS WILL BE APPRECIATED. I PURCHASED THIS CAR CASH 6405.70 WHEN THE ASKING PRICE WAS 4670. I'VE BEEN RIPPED OFF AND COULD HAVE GOTTEN KILLED. HELP PLEASE.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN JULY 2014. A. 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA AND AFTER 3 WEEKS THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WENT OUT AFTER BARELY HITTING CURB AROUND BY SEPTEMBER 2014, THE DRIVERS TIRE WAS DEFLATING REPLACED. ON 2/10/2015 THE TIRE IN REAR WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT COULD BECAUSE A NAIL GOT INTO THE TIRE AND CAUSED THE PROBLEM. IT JUST SEEMS A BIT UNUSUAL FOR 3 TIRES IN LESS THAN A YEAR OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE, WHICH WAS NEW PURCHASED JULY 2014. 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. *TR

THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC TRAVELING AROUND 60 MPH. IT FIRST BEGAN WHEN I FELT AN UNBALANCE OF THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE. THE CAR SUDDENLY VEERED TO THE RIGHT REGARDLESS OF MY EFFORTS TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. MY CAR FISHTAILED FOR A MOMENTS AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO ANOTHER CAR. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR WHEN MY CAR CRASHED INTO THE WALL THAT LINED THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. AFTER VISUALLY INSPECTING THE WHEEL, IT APPEARED THAT THE FRONT RIGHT RIM WAS CUT IN A HALF VERTICALLY AND ALL AROUND. IT WAS CUT IN A NEAR-PERFECT STRAIGHT LINE - SIMILAR TO WHAT A OPENED CAN LOOKS LIKE. THE TIRE REMAINED FULLY INTACT WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE. THE BODY SHOP MECHANICS TOLD US THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THE RIM CUT LIKE THAT BEFORE AND SAID THE ONLY EXPLANATION WOULD BE A DEFECT IN THE RIM. WE HAVE PICTURES AND CAN PROVIDE THEM UPON REQUEST. THE BODY SHOP MECHANICS AND INSURANCE ADJUSTERS ARE ALL CLUELESS TO HOW AND WHY THIS OCCURRED. PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION TO HELP US DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THE TOTAL ESTIMATE OF THE COSTS HAVE ESTIMATED TO BE AROUND $14000. *TR
