NHTSA Complaint #11093273 — 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2012, A COUPLE WEEKS LATER I BEGAN NOTICING AND STILL TO THIS DAY, WHEN I HIT ANY SIZE OF BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE BACK TIRES FEEL LIKE THEY ARE COMING OFF THE GROUND AND THE REAR OF THE CAR FISHTAILS. THIS HAPPENS FROM ABOUT 45 MPH ON UP. ON THE HIGHWAY, I HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE WHEN I SEE A BUMP, AND LET OFF THE GAS. (NOT SURE HOW MUCH THAT HELPS, BUT IT'S JUST MY INSTINCT). IF THERE IS A ROW OF BUMPS/HOLES, I HAVE TROUBLE KEEPING CONTROL OF THE CAR. ALSO I HAVE TO REPLACE TWO TIRES ABOUT 24,000 MILES, AS THEY GET UNEVEN WEAR FROM A FIXED? REAR AXLE THAT IS DESIGNED TO NOT BE ALIGNED. NOT SURE IF THAT IS RELATED TO THE CAR FISHTAILING. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH INTENTION OF PASSING DOWN TO MY DAUGHTER, BUT WOULD NEVER LET AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS CAR FOR FEAR OF THEM DYING.
