2014 Hyundai Elantra driver assistance complaints

This has happened about 4 times, but yesterday was the latest. While driving on the turnpike at 75 MPH, the traction light came on (which is for the ESC) and the car immediately de-accelerated to about 35 MPH. I had no control over the car could not accelerate or brake. The car made a grinding noise and sounded like it had a flat tire - it was hard to maintain control of the car. It finally returned to normal. I took the car in to the dealership today and they checked the computer system and the sensors on the engine, transmission and traction control and found nothing wrong either by computer error codes or by visually inspecting the parts or sensors. So, I have no recourse other than calling hyundai and getting a case set up so that it can be documented.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH, the traction control warning light illuminated as the vehicle decelerated to 40 MPH. The contact mentioned that when the traction control warning light shut off, the vehicle resumed to normal. The failure occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the repairs were unknown and the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000.
While driving at highway speeds, the rear of the 2014 elantra consistently sways and at times causes vehicle to actually drift into other lanes which is a huge safety issue to me and my family, my fiancee is actually fearful of driving this car as I am. We have had the car back at dealer and have been told it's the way the car is made. I actually spoke on phone with hyundai motors eastern seaboard district manager [xxx] ( his phone number is [xxx] )and claims he has never heard of the swaying issue. I feel I am loosing control of car and possibly going to have accident, seems like manufacturer won't do anything until someone is killed because they refuse to accept responsibility and issue a recall. For the money I paid for this car I feel I got ripped off. Hyundai needs to be sued in court. If anyone is interested in getting a class action lawsuit going please contact me, my email is [xxx] we have rights, let's band together and force hyundai to fix problem before someone we love gets killed by hyundai's refusal to fix this extreme safety issue. If enough of us stand together we can win, hyundai doesn't care about our safety or the safety of our loved ones riding in these cars. So email me and let's get this lawsuit started before someone gets hurt or killed, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
On 5/30/14 I purchased a 2013 hyundai elantra close out with 54 miles on it. At 4300 miles I lost all control of the steering and the car went across 3 lanes of interstate 3 times before I regained control of the car. I returned the car to the dealer and had to "trade it in" to get a different car. I left the dealer with a 2014 elantra limited on 7/21/14 having to pay them an $4500 extra. The 2014 felt better on the road now at 1300 miles I start felling the same fish tailing feel when the car is going interstate speed 70mph. As I write this the car now has 1944 miles and the condition is getting worse. I drive the same interstate everyday and the road conditions have not changed. I no longer can drive this car interstate speed, I now have to drive it at no more than 55mph. The 2013 did this fish tail or wander also, and just before it went out of control it did it sharply for no reason. Now I have concern this will happen with this car also as the symptoms that are starting are the same. I called hyundai customer care and filed a complaint, they said they would do what needed to be done to fix this issue. The wobble and unstable feel driving this car, is a very on edge unpleasant ride as one does not know if it will lose control. I do not know if it is the steering or the stability control or even the suspension that is the issue. You can't feel the wobble in the steering wheel, you feel it though out the car. I have now had two elantra's driven them a combined mileage of 7000 miles in 8 weeks and both have the same issue. Something is very wrong with the control of these cars and there needs to be a recall, I can't be that unlucky to get the only two cars out there with the same issue.
