2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

I WAS DRIVING 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY, THERE WAS NO DEBRIS ON THE ROAD THAT CARS HAD TO AVOID RUNNING OVER. THIS WAS ON THE 405 FREEWAY SO IF THERE IS ANYTHING ON THE ROAD CHP COMES TO REMOVE IT BECAUSE IT IS AN INCREDIBLY BUSY FREEWAY.WHILE DRIVINING, ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR A LOUD POP AND MY TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR KIGHTS STARTED TO FLASH AND I STARTED TO LOOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR. I MANAGED TO CONTROL IT IN TIME TO AVOID CRASHING AT 65 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND NOTED MY TIRED POPPED AND DEFLATED. I WENT TO BIG O TIRES AND THEY TOLD ME THIS BLOWOUT WAS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER MALFUNCTION. THE TIRE HAS 8,000 MILES ON IT AND IT CAME WITH MY BRAND NEW CAR IN MARCH SO THEY ARE NOT OLD. I HAVE READ SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED BLOWOUTS FOR NO REASON WITH THEIR NEXEN TIRES THAT HYUNDAI IS USING. THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE CAUSED ME MY LIFE IF I HADN'T REACTED QUICKLY TO KEEP FROM CRASHING. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE RUINED OR OVER DUE TO NEXEN

WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE ON AN INCLINE USUALLY SENDS ME HEADING BACK IN REVERSE AGAIN UNTIL I APPLY THE BRAKE PEDAL HARD FOR A FEW SECONDS. THIS HAPPENED TO ME A LOT IN MY DRIVEWAY AND MOST RECENTLY ON A STEEP MOUNTAIN, WHICH WAS REALLY SCARY. THE VEHICLE STARTS FROM STATIONARY MOTION TO REVERSE, THEN STOP, SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND IT ROLLS BACK IN REVERSE AGAIN. ALMOST LIKE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION DOES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

PURCHASED A 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA LIMITED WHICH CAME WITH NEXEN BRAND 225 45 R17 TIRES ON IT. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE I HAD TO START PUTTING AIR ON THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON. AFTER A FEW WEEKS THE LEAK BECAME WORSE AND AUTOMATICALLY ASSUMING I MAY HAVE RAN OVER SOMETING I TOOK TO TIRE SHOP AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A MALL PIN HOLE TYPE LEAK ON THE INSIDE WALL OF THE TIRE, POSSIBLY BY A SEAM. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INSPECTED AND ALSO AGREED IT WAS A DEFECT, VEHICLE AND TIRE HAD LESS THAN 5,000 MILES PRIOR TO TIRE FAILURE. ATTEMPTED TO REPORT TO NEXEN WITHOUT RESPONSE.
