Consumer Description

FRONT COIL SPRING FRACTURED AND CONTACTED TIRE. LUCKILY I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT. BY THE LOOKS OF THE DAMAGE TO THE TIRE, I AM VERY FORTUNATE I HAVE BEEN LIKE THIS AND NOT AT ANY LEVEL OF SPEED. THE FOLLOWING MORNING I LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM AND FOUND AN ARTICLE BY EDMOND IN MAY 2015 THAT TALKED ABOUT YOUR ORGANIZATION RECALLING HYUNDAI ELANTRA'S?S FOR FRONT COIL SPRING PROBLEMS. FROM THE ARTICLE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR. I CALLED HYUNDAI CORPORATION THEY SAID IT WAS NOT UP FOR A RECALL. TWO CALLS TO DEALERSHIPS I WAS AGAIN TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL. PLEASE FORCE HYUNDAI TO RECALL THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AT THEIR EXPENSE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
