What owners wrote
Was making a left turn at a intersection and t boned a pick up truck, extensive damage to front end of the elantra front end,[ air bags did not deploy on the elantra ] even though the whole front end was tore off. Driver door damaged,windshield cracked both front fenders damaged, plus unknown if transmission and or transaxle has been damaged until the car can be repaired. Hyundai has stop any repairs until they send a hyundai investigator to look at the car, which they say could take up to 6 to 8 weeks to check it.
The tires that came with my elantra ((hankook h426 215/45 17) had to be replaced in less than 18 months as the side wall was bulging dangerously. My son who has a 2010 elantra with hankook tires had a blow-out while driving. I think these hankook tires are dangerously unreliable. Thank you.
