Tire size: 225/4R18 88W Code 2119 indicates manufacture on 21st week of 2019. Factory original equipment on a 2020 Hyundai Elantra GT (N-Line). At the dealer for an unrelated service at approximately 37,000 miles. Tech noticed cracking on sidewall of all original tires. Suspects it is dry rot. There is a previous recall for these tires in a different size from 2015, but it appears the issue has not been resolved. I've attached a photo as an one example of the cracking. All original tires have multiple cracks like this along the sidewall.

My 2020 Hyundai Elantra stalled on me in the middle of driving it. Only check engine light was on. Had an oil change three months prior to it stalling and not wanting to accelerate. Made an appointment with dealership, they stated it would be fine to drive for another month and a half when they were able to get my vehicle in to look at it. Spoke with guy on phone said there was no recalls, which was a lie. Because last year it had a campaign opened on it that i knew absolutely nothing about, on top of the three recalls on it. My car did not make it in time for the appointment. The engine blew up even though it had another oil change a week before. Dealership wants to blame me. Hyundai National also refuses to accept that it is something malfunctioned bad in the engine that is a safety hazard. I believe the piston rings were bad. Theyd rather blame me because i went over my miles for an oil change the first year i bought the car brand new. Also it had a recall when i bought the car. To my knowledge its illegal to sell anyone a brand new car with a recall on it. Thank god i didnt injure anyone or myself when the vehicle died on me in the middle of a turn with traffic coming behind me. Also i have a full platinum warranty that they refuse let me use. They do not care about their customers. This is also a second car i have bought from this dealership. The first one had a recall on it. It was a kia optima, the dealership did not tell me they are suppose to pay to fix it, instead i traded it in for this piece of crap.
