Tl* the contact owns a 2007 hyundai elantra. While driving 40 MPH, the rear axle detached from the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated before the failure. The contact stated that the rear axle was rotted and there was frame corrosion on the rear side of the frame. The contact had the vehicle towed to riverhead hyundai (1800 old country rd, riverhead, ny 11901, (631) 369-0600) and was advised that nothing could be done. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 120,000.
While driving my right front axle completely came off the frame. After taking it to a hyundai mechanic I was told that my frame was corroded and that caused my axle to dislocate. I asked if the repair was covered under the tt1 campaign and was told that it was only for preventative measures and did not cover repairs.
Rear sub frame rotted and broke while I was driving. There is a recall for front end corrosion. Called hyundai and was told tough luck.
In february of 2015 my son was driving my car the elantra when the steering locked up..my husband had to reset the computer then it worked other than the key sometimes getting stuck in the ignition when you where in park and the car was off.then in april of 2015 hyundai sent us a recall notice for a defect in the steering so I had it repaired .when I got my car back the steering did not lock up anymore and it seemed to steer very easy the key would still get stuck sometimes.well onjuly 27 2015 I was driving around a roundabout in the inside lane when I lost control of the steering and it skidded to a stop in the outside lane when I got out to look at my tire I noticed that my rack and pinion had snapped clean in half.my car has less than 98000 miles on it and I did not hit anything .when I came home I did some research and found that the 2008 elantras were recalled for this exact problem.upon speaking with hyundai they said there is no connection between the to but an independent mechanic has said otherwise.so if you could look into this it would be greatly appreciated so no one gets hurt.
2007 hyundai elantra. Consumer writes in regards to steering wheel vibration issues. *smd the consumer stated as he was driving, he heard a noise and then the steering wheel started vibrating. The consumer stated he pulled over, turned the vehicle off and removed the owners manual from the glove compartment. The consumer stated no where in the owners manual was there a section relating to struts, springs or shock absorbers, which he thought was the cause of the vibrating steering wheel.
The rear suspension cross member rotted where the control arm attaches to it and broke free. The control arm then fell down and the entire rear tire and suspension was dragged underneath the rear end of the car. The metal that the control arm attaches to is very thin and the only thing under the car that is not undercoated is that suspension cross member. If this part broke free at 55mph I may not have survived the crash. It broke free as I turned into my driveway, more than likely from the twist of the turn.

While traveling 55 MPH, the contact traveled over a small road bump and noticed that the rear of the vehicle suddenly lost control causing the vehicle to crash into a ditch. No one was injured during the incident. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the contact was informed that the driver side inner bolt flange needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The current and failure mileages were 60,000.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 hyundai elantra. While starting the vehicle the air bag light came on and stayed on. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who replaced the defective air bag sensor. The first air bag failure occurred in september 2008, since that time the failure had occurred three additional times. The air bag sensor was replaced three times and the last failure that occurred the dealer replaced the air bag control module. The front tires were replaced four times due to the suspension which included a front end alignment. She was also informed by the dealer on november 19, 2010 that the rear camper was out of specification and that the front sway bar links were replaced twice. The vehicle had not been repaired for the rear camper specification. The failure mileage was 13,000 and the current mileage was 68,000.
I have a 2007 hyundai elantra that wears the front tires unevenly. The original tires had about 28,000 miles on them. The tires looked fine on the outside but were worn down to the steel belts on the inside. They also had a diagonal wear which made the front end hop. After replacing the tires with snows I took it to a service auto center for an alignment and was told there was no adjustment for the tire wear. I then took back to dealer and was told the vehicle was in specs but they could not correct the problem. The service person said I should rotate the tires every 5,000 miles. I have done this to no prevail.the snows had less than 8000 miles when the noticeable hop returned. Spring came and put new all season tires on. I just hope the tires don't blow out while driving.
1. Wearing tires, 2. Non adjustable rear suspension out of spec. 3. Dealer states loosened bolts and adjusted. Replaced tires at 34,200 miles.
One of my elantra's started shaking really bad to the point that I couldn't drive. I brought it into the closest shop. They told me that the alignment was way off spec. They ordered the proper parts and were able to put the front alignment in spec. Then they told me that the bad could not be fixed, they are non-adjustable struts. I then took it to the dealer which has now told me the same thing. The car is 1 years old and cannot be fixed. I contacted hyundai corporate and they are sending a rep to check out the situation. Upon researching this problem I found that there were other elantra owners out there with this same problem. My mechanic believes that this has to do with the car not being built to hold even the maximum weight capacity. I am also concerned because I have another of the same car.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 hyundai elantra. While driving 60 MPH or greater, the rear of the vehicle swayed from left to right. The failure was prevalent when there was extra weight in the vehicle. The dealer stated that the extra weight changed the rear alignment and caused the vehicle to sway. The dealer attempted to align the rear of the vehicle on four different occasions, but was unable to correct the failure. The current mileage is 8,252 and failure mileage was 2,783. The consumer stated the defect is due to unequal camber and toe settings is what the consumer was informed by the hyundai dealership. Specialty parts company engineers suggested replacing upper control arms that the defect was due to poor suspension. The consumer provided numerous repair invoices and pictures for the vehicle. Updated 08/13/07
Rear camber goes out of factory specification with loads 75 pounds and over causing unstability in the rear end causing the rear of the car to over react when steering the car.
Alignment on my vehicle (2007 hyundai elantra se) is not adjusted properly, and cannot be adjusted properly. Vehicle is unsafe to drive on the highway. Rear end goes sideways because camber settings are creating oversteer situation.
