When driving over a speed bump in a mall.,I heard a noise from the front of car.looked at front of car did not see anything wrong and proceeded to drive it. It made a funny noise and you could smell burning rubber and smoke started to come from front drivers side wheel compartment.called a tow truck and the mechanic said looks like the front coil spring broke. I was wandering if you have had any complaints on this year as I know the 2011 had a fracturing problem with the front coil springs.this just happened today 11-21-15 and is at a repair facility to be looked at on monday when they open for business.

Purchased elantra 3 days ago and noticed car pulling to left. On highway especially nearly went off road, veered into other lanes. Must keep constant pressure on wheel wants to pull away if hand pressure releases. Car at 200 miles went to dealer after 2 days, they acted surprised as if they never heard of it happening. Dealership looked at car (2 hours) stated they centered the steering wheel? And did an alignment. During test drive later with mechanic car veered to left constantly and nearly went off the road several times when I let go of steering wheel. Mechanic reported that car performed within standards. Have filed complaint with hyundai, and with bernardi dealership. Car is unsafe to drive! Brand new just days old. Requesting replacement of car since I have safety concerns about the vehicle.
