Consumer Description

THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A STREET. IT KEPT JUMPING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, THE STEERING WHEEL GOT REALLY HARD TO MOVE. IT MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I TRY TO TURN IT ON, WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR WHITE SMOKE THAT SMELLS REALLY STRONG STARTS COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST AND THE CAR WON'T DRIVE, IF I PUT IT ON DRIVE IT JUMPS A LOT AND TURNS OFF BY ITSELF. I HAVE READ AN ARTICLE IN WHICH MANY USERS OF THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA FROM THE YEARS 2011 TO 2015 HAVE THIS SAME MOTOR ISSUES. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THE ENGINE. EVEN BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS REALLY ROUGH, ITS NOT SMOOTH ITS NOT EASY TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A U- TURN OR TURNING ON A STREET, I HAVE TO PULL REALLY HARD TO MAKE TURNS, I DON'T THINK THIS IS SAFE. *TR
