What owners wrote
The 2016 hyundai elantra was wrecked at 501 miles . It was bought brand-new it struck a telephone pole at 45 miles per hour the airbags did not deploy hyundai has a defective airbag system which needs to be looked into I have a claim number against hyundai the claim number is 8922194. My son who was driving the car at the time of the accident suffered injuries due to the fact that the airbags did not deploy.
The sport steering is over sensitive which is a hazard. The slightest turn of the steering wheel causes the vehicle to turn abruptly. I have measured that a quick lane change could take place by moving the steering wheel by 1/4 of an inch in either direction. The slightest movement could cause an accident and bodily injury at highway speeds.
