Read complaints for HYUNDAI ELANTRA (2020)
On may 2, 2021 i was involved in a hit and run accident.an individual in a pickup ran a red light and t-boned my car on the driver side.no air bags deployed.i was taken to the hospital with a severe concussion.
A car darted into my lane at 90 degrees. My rental car right corner ended up against the other car's left fender. The driver airbag did not deploy but did start to inflate.a lot of dark gray smoke issued from the steering column for a long time after the bag started to deploy.the bag cover appeared to extend about 6" from the steering wheel and the sides looked pleated, like an accordion bellows.also something happened under the dash around the pedals.i saw a rectangular light colored area 4-9' tall and 10-20" wide as if a panel had blown off a lower airbag but no inflation occurred there at all. Jan. 22, 2020 on bon air rd, kentfield.not sure if i was able to brake.passenger side airbag did not deploy even though there was a passenger in the front seat.rental company asked that the car be towed to a body shop.
My car sold to me with out it being disclosed that it was crashed now my lka will kill you if used and the fender is obviously repainted my steering is weird and it was supposed to be new purchased at 6 miles crash reported at 0 repair completed 2/10 my purchase 2/11
I started to hear a gridding noise that was progressively becoming louder when turning left or right while driving, fast or slow, highway or street, does not matter. I took the car in and the dealership had it for a week while replacing the steering assembly column (not 100% sure on exact names of parts replaced). I get the car back and the steering problems are worse. Now the steering wheel is moving around while driving. That lever that allows you to adjust the steering wheel does not work. I call hyundai and am told they are booked and can not get my car in for almost a week. It gets to the point that driving is almost impossible so i decide to take the car in a few days early. As i'm driving on the highway going about 70mph the steering wheel drops and is flopping around and all power to the car goes off making steering even worse than what i thought was the worst it can get. Now the car is in the shop for the second time for steering problems and now an electrical problem.
At approximately 16,000 ' 17,000 miles the car started having technical and electrical issues. There seemed to be an issue with the regular headlights and high beam setting. On the passenger side of the car, the glove box light, the overhead reading light, and the charging port for car adapters all stopped working. Shortly after those things went out in the vehicle, we were in an accident. We were driving from missouri to california and while driving on a 2 lane highway through kansas, the car unexplainably jolted to the left into the opposite direction lane of travel. I was going around 65 mph when this happened. It seemed the car then accelerated on its own with the rpms going to the red. The steering wheel locked up after the car had jerked over. The steering wheel wouldn't budge. Another vehicle was coming right at us. I was trying to get the car to go any direction but the steering wheel was locked. So we had a head on collision. The 2 other occupants in the car did not make it, i was the only survivor. These cars have electric steering. The car was having electrical issues, i did not know about the type of steering it had. I am wondering if anyone else has had any of the same experiences/problems?*dt*dt*dt

I believe someone else has linked into my car using an app, and has access to open it and also take control of the brakes, etc...
When i pulled out of my drive way at about 5 mph and began increasing speed (10-15 mph), i felt like my front tires may have needed air.i checked my dash and confirmed that all the sensors for tire pressure were on and working and the air pressure seemed to be fine.i began to increase speed and by this time was traveling east bound at aprox. 55 mphon the hwy, when the front left tire suddenly felt loose. I wasn't sure if it was my tire or the road itself but before i could even switch lanes my tire seemed to jerk me over to the left side of the road.my back tire fell off the ledge of the hwy and caused me to pull the wheel to try to correct the imbalance but i didn't have enough time before the steering wheel was wandering off toward the left causing me to smash head on into a tree into the center divider.

2/20/2020 - i was driving my new 2020 elantra (less than 5,000 miles on it) and i noticed the car was not accelerating smoothly. The rpm needle was revving abnormally whenever i tried to accelerate. When i pressed the gas from a dead stop the car would shutter before accelerating. On my way home from work the same day i was having the same issues but as i merged (turning) onto a highway the car suddenly stopped accelerating all together and i was not able to go more than 10-20 mph. Since it was at a merge there was almost a collision, but i was able to pull over before anything happened. 2/21/2020- the next day while i was at work my husband tried to drive my car to the dealer. He experienced the same issues and when he got to the dealership he was unable to turn the car into the service station because the car would not accelerate.

11/10/2020 as i was driving i noticed a burning smell coming from the outside of the car i had my windows down i pulled over in a grocery store parking lot because i thought the smell was coming from someone else car only to find out it was mine i only had the car for a little over 6 months the car had 2552 miles on it i reported to hyundai customer service only to be disappointed and given the runa round. I have a case number as well #17456723 i spoke with 2 managers and i was being told oh this manager handles this and then when i spoke with that manger i was told i had to speak to another manager, so i had the car towed to a dealership to only be told that they couldn't determine where the smell was coming from and don't worry about the smell on the outside of the car but they had performed a recall on the vehicle where i wasn't even informed about the recall from hyundai even when i went on the recall website there was no open recalls listed for my vehicle so i got frustrated and had them repossess the vehicle because i refused to risk my life by continuing to drive the vehicle with the overheating issue i also noticed that the thermostat would rise really quick and the car wouldn't even be running that long and it even took them a week to come get the vehicle now i'm being told that the car will be auctioned off and what ever they don't get for the vehicle i will be responsible in which i don't believe is fair after complaining that the dealership told me that the original dealership where i purchased the vehicle probably sprayed something on the engine to keep it from rusting i was upset because i never took it back to the original dealership of purchase i explained this to the manager as well i was told to take the car some where else i couldn't i have medical issues i am dealing with and that would have been to much for me.

There is a recall on my 2020 hyundai elantra that i was notified about on june 28th 2021. I called the dealership where i purchased my car and was told that since there is no remedy for the piston oil ring that there was nothing they could do until a remedy becomes available. My car has been hesitating when accelerating and that is one of the signs of my car affected by the piston oil ring. I was told that if i continue to drive the car i am taking a risk of damaging it further. According to the nhtsa website it says the remedy is to have the whole engine replaced and they are not going to fix the recall until a remedy becomes available on their end.

Hyundai has failed to remedy the engine manufacturing defect for the past few years. Hyundai has not been able to remedy the engine defect in the 2.0 nu mpi engine in a timely manner. The hyundai dealership, tipton hyundai sold me a dangerous, unsafe car with an engine manufacturing defect. The correct remedy for the engine 2.0 nu mpi defect is a buyback program issued by hyundai.

Vehicle engine seizes and will not start. Happens multiple times. Towed vehicle to dealership and they state there is no recall for this problem however; nhtsa has a recall number of: 21v301000. Really getting the runaround. Same problem happened on 2013 sonata we owned that caught fire, in which hyundai paid lien and offered discount pricing to buy 2020 elantra. Is this a trend?

The headlights on low beam have a black line across and only about 25 yard visibility, on high beam they are a very dull yellow and the visibility out is about 50 to 75 yards. The level of light is so low that you cannot see anything in the roadway. These lights are very dangerous. I have called the dealership parts and service and they told me that i could try changing the factory bulb.
At approximately 16,000 ' 17,000 miles the car started having technical and electrical issues. There seemed to be an issue with the regular headlights and high beam setting. On the passenger side of the car, the glove box light, the overhead reading light, and the charging port for car adapters all stopped working. Shortly after those things went out in the vehicle, we were in an accident. We were driving from missouri to california and while driving on a 2 lane highway through kansas, the car unexplainably jolted to the left into the opposite direction lane of travel.

The normal beam brightness for the front headlamps is about 50% of what it should be. It is not safe to drive the car at night on the low-beam setting. With the high beam setting, visibility is about as it should be for the normal setting.
The contact owns a 2020 hyundai elantra. While driving 60 mph, the forward collision avoidance system failed to warn of an ice bucket in the roadway. While attempting to avoid the ice bucket, the contact struck the ice bucket with the passenger side bumper. The contact stated that there was physical damage to the bumper. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for the body repairs. The vehicle was taken to atlantic hyundai (193 sunrise hwy north service rd, west islip, ny 11795, (631) 587-0700) where it was diagnosed that the forward collision avoidance system functioned as intended. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 500. The vin was not available. *dt *dl
When cruise control is activated, the engine rpm automatically increases by about 700 rpm. At 75 mph, the engine rpm is 2300. When control is activated, engine rpm increases to 3000 rpm and remains there. This decreases gas milesge and increases wear on engine.
The forward accident avoidance system repeatedly cuts off the gas and prevents the car from moving even when there is nothing that could be considered a hazard in front of the car. It leaves me stranded half way through a turn in an intersection or the entrance to a parking lot. The gas pedal is disabled until the computer decides that it is safe. The service manager at the dealer says there is nothing they can do as the system is extremely sensitive and they get a lot of complaints about it. To be left in the middle of an intersection as the light changes and cross traffic starts or to to be stopped halfway through a turn onto a road with approaching traffic is not safe.
The contact's boyfriend owns a 2020 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the forward collision avoidance system activated independently. The contact also stated that the forward collision avoidance warning light was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact had initially taken the vehicle to mitchell hyundai (1600 e. Park ave, enterprise, al 36330) where the service tech stated that the dealer tag may have caused the issue. The contact disputed the claim. The failure recurred twice. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 1,700.*dt
While driving on highway car lost power dropping down to 10-20miles per hour.appears car stuck in low gear and won't go forward over 10mph with rpm revinning
I just bought/ financed my new 2020 hyundai elentra on 11/15/2020 and recently in past couple of days i have experienced trouble with the gas/ throttle/ power of driving my new car. The rpm in my video jumps up & down with no power really pushing to drive. I almost got into 1 bad accident with a semi-truck. Also the tire pressure sensor was low reading psi of 29 and i never received a warning light until way later for psi reading 32. Even though i aired my tires to the correct psi my warning lights are still on.
2020 hyundai elantra. Consumer writes in regards to unintended acceleration. *ldthe consumer stated the cruise control was activated. While driving up a hill, the vehicle sped up past the set speed. The dealer and manufacturer were notified and stated the vehicle was operated as designed. While driving, the steering suddenly jerked to the left about 1.5 inches. The dealer turned the sensitivity level on the lane assist. Also, the vehicle does not a metal screen over the air intake for the heater. This could allow rodents to enter into the cab.
I rented a 2020 hyundai elantra from pittsburgh pa to rockville md. It was raining. Because the steering wheel was sensitive compared to other cars i had driven, i turned on the car's lane keeping assistance, which tightened the steering wheel a bit and made an alarm sound and steered back by itself when the car got close to a lane line. I drove under the speed limit and exercised all caution necessary on a raining day. On highway 70 east close to hagerstown md, i noticed the car deviate towards the left on a curve. Lane keeping assist did not alarm. To prevent it from hitting the left divider, i tried to steer back to the right but the steering wheel was locked up. I pressed the brake pedal, but the car did not slow down. The car suddenly slid to the far right, left the highway pavement, rolled over on the lawn. All of the front and side airbags on the driverā€™s seat and co-driverā€™s seat popped out. Smoke was everywhere. I got bruises on my knees and legs, and cuts in left hand and arm. The mileage was 43316 according to the rental company after the incident. I purchased the damage waiver so the rental company did not charge me or provide a report. Consumer stated she would like to withdrawal the complaint.

While driving 70 mph on ohio turnpike the transmission slipped out of gear and would not allow the car to shift into any gears. After pulling over and restarting the car the fastest it would go was 10 mph .
While driving on highway at full speed, the car shifted into 1st gear on its own. Traffic was heavy, but fast, creating a dangerous situation. I was able to get the car over.it was taken to service and the dealer found that the whole transmission needed to be replaced.
While driving on the highway, my vehicle experienced a cvt transmission failure. The vehicles tachometer started oscillating slightly, jumping up and down. The next symptoms was the car at times felt like it had a bucking/jerking sensation. The tachometer suddenly jumped up to around 5000 rpm. The car immediately lost power while traveling on the highway, dangerously almost causing an accident with the car behind me almost hitting/rear ending me from behind with this sudden unexpected loss of power and speed. The car slowed down and i found i could now not drive any faster than about 20 miles/hr. As i pushed down on the gas pedal, the tachometer just increased in rpm, with no transfer of power to the drive wheels. The car was purchased brand new in november 2020 and it now has 3700 miles on it. I have a video of the event happening as i started videoing when the car did not feel right.
Everytime when i driving around 20 minutes the transmission start failed on the first gear...every time when i stop at the traffic light and then go forward car loose the power in the first gear even sport mode or smart mode or normal mode he do that.... That's to dangerous cause if i have to crossing a way that only have a stop sign might can get an accident.

On june 4,2020,my 2020 hyundai elantra's transmission failed. This car had only 8,000 miles on it. I was on highways, city streets, and the car would stall at lights and not accelerate. The drivers behind me did not know that when the light changed, my car may or may not move. The transmission completely failed that day, and hyundai is not taking responsibility for the danger they put me in. I was not safe in that vehicle. The transmission was replaced, but i still could have died or been severely injured that day. Hyundai sussman in willow grove has all the details. When i arrived to the dealer that day, after stalling repeatedly on the road, they could not even start the vehicle. I called two hyundai dealers asking for help. One told me it was safe to drive and the other dealer would not answer their phone.
This isbrand new car that i purchased 35 days ago that now has 1295 miles on it. I entered the street from a parking lot, there was heavy traffic at the time so i did need to excellerate rapidly when i pulled out. Unfortunately once i was in the road the car had no power and would not pick up speed. The engine rpm was increasing but the car was not picking up speed. Cars were on my bumper blasting their horns and i can't blame them, i'm lucky i didn't cause an accident. I tried to manually shift the car to see if it helps but it would not change gears and i was slowing picking up speed. I had to call hyundai roadside assistance to come tow the car.

Because the steering wheel was sensitive compared to other cars i had driven, i turned on the car's lane keeping assistance, which tightened the steering wheel a bit and made an alarm sound and steered back by itself when the car got close to a lane line. I drove under the speed limit and exercised all caution necessary on a raining day. On highway 70 east close to hagerstown md, i noticed the car deviate towards the left on a curve. Lane keeping assist did not alarm. To prevent it from hitting the left divider, i tried to steer back to the right but the steering wheel was locked up. I pressed the brake pedal, but the car did not slow down. The car suddenly slid to the far right, left the highway pavement, rolled over on the lawn. All of the front and side airbags on the driverā€™s seat and co-driverā€™s seat popped out. Smoke was everywhere. I got bruises on my knees and legs, and cuts in left hand and arm. The mileage was 43316 according to the rental company after the incident. I purchased the damage waiver so the rental company did not charge me or provide a report. Consumer stated she would like to withdrawal the complaint.
At approximately 16,000 ' 17,000 miles the car started having technical and electrical issues. There seemed to be an issue with the regular headlights and high beam setting. On the passenger side of the car, the glove box light, the overhead reading light, and the charging port for car adapters all stopped working. Shortly after those things went out in the vehicle, we were in an accident. We were driving from missouri to california and while driving on a 2 lane highway through kansas, the car unexplainably jolted to the left into the opposite direction lane of travel. I was going around 65 mph when this happened. It seemed the car then accelerated on its own with the rpms going to the red. The steering wheel locked up after the car had jerked over. The steering wheel wouldn't budge. Another vehicle was coming right at us. I was trying to get the car to go any direction but the steering wheel was locked. So we had a head on collision. The 2 other occupants in the car did not make it, i was the only survivor. These cars have electric steering. The car was having electrical issues, i did not know about the type of steering it had. I am wondering if anyone else has had any of the same experiences/problems?*dt*dt*dt
I started to hear a gridding noise that was progressively becoming louder when turning left or right while driving, fast or slow, highway or street, does not matter. I took the car in and the dealership had it for a week while replacing the steering assembly column (not 100% sure on exact names of parts replaced). I get the car back and the steering problems are worse. Now the steering wheel is moving around while driving. That lever that allows you to adjust the steering wheel does not work. I call hyundai and am told they are booked and can not get my car in for almost a week. It gets to the point that driving is almost impossible so i decide to take the car in a few days early. As i'm driving on the highway going about 70mph the steering wheel drops and is flopping around and all power to the car goes off making steering even worse than what i thought was the worst it can get. Now the car is in the shop for the second time for steering problems and now an electrical problem.
At around 4,000 the miles the vehicle became increasingly difficult to steer with the steering wheel remaining very stiff at all speeds.i do not feel confident in the handling or safe maneuvering of this vehicle.sought help at dealership through warranty but they were unable to diagnose the issue.i am continuing to purse help on this matter.
When i pulled out of my drive way at about 5 mph and began increasing speed (10-15 mph), i felt like my front tires may have needed air.i checked my dash and confirmed that all the sensors for tire pressure were on and working and the air pressure seemed to be fine.i began to increase speed and by this time was traveling east bound at aprox. 55 mphon the hwy, when the front left tire suddenly felt loose. I wasn't sure if it was my tire or the road itself but before i could even switch lanes my tire seemed to jerk me over to the left side of the road.my back tire fell off the ledge of the hwy and caused me to pull the wheel to try to correct the imbalance but i didn't have enough time before the steering wheel was wandering off toward the left causing me to smash head on into a tree into the center divider.
Purchased used from carvana. Steering pulls to right and left, unexpectedly and sporadically. Noticeable by both drivers, independently. Also, noticeable from passenger seat and not by driver alone. Suspected lower ball joint issue which could result in sudden loss of control, crash, and death. If this work was done, perhaps defective "repair"? carvana advised this is a death trap (my words). Have been trying to return vehicle since monday 8/23. Driving to the 'vending machine' to hand back over their vehicle, uninvited yet announced, on 8/27 a.m. In las vegas. This issue occurs at low, medium, and highway speeds without any apparent cause, except perhaps dips and uneven road surfaces. Perhaps the mismatched set of front/back tires?
First the car was in the shop for a week having the steering fixed. A week later and steering is broken again. Steering wheel does not stay in place. Makes it for a fun drive on the freeway. I hope i get into an accident because of this because then hyundai might listen to my concerns.
While driving the car at the speed range of 40-70 mph the steering wheel undergoes abrupt stiffness change from stiff to very soft causing sudden jolt of the vehicle right or left depending on the road condition. This happens all the time at this speed range. Lost control resulting in almost crashing into a divide barrier. Driving requires maintaining the steering wheel in strong grip at all time and a lot of experience to avoid loss of control.
I was sold to me new i took it in for an inspection in the first week of ownership and the tech slipped me a notice of a accident and repair completed at 0-5 miles of its life i purchased at only 6 miles they keep telling me i'm lying.incident date 9/1/19 repair date 2/10/20 completed repair 2/11/20 date i purchased 2/12/20 i took it in because lka keep moving the wheel right left over n over, over correcting itself i believe. Very scary when on the freeway in traffic in downtown los angeles.i do not know anything detail of this repair or incident i was only given this paper after purchase they didn't disclose it before purchase.when i look up the vin it never comes up with my cars model either
My car sold to me with out it being disclosed that it was crashed now my lka will kill you if used and the fender is obviously repainted my steering is weird and it was supposed to be new purchased at 6 miles crash reported at 0 repair completed 2/10 my purchase 2/11
The car had many small problems to begin with. The steering wheel never sat straight and there were many lights for low tire pressure even though the pressure was fine. The transmission also broke 3 months after purchasing. I noticed the car started to shake and handle became very hard to control. Suddenly the rpm went all the way 8 on the highway. The car started to shake violently and i had to pull over to the side of the interstate. This was a near miss accident. If i had driven a little further where there was a merge in the highway, i would have definitely lost my life. When i called hyundai customer support, they also informed me that other hyundai elantra's were also experiencing transmission problems and they predicted a recall in the near future.
2020 hyundai elantra. Consumer writes in regards to unintended acceleration. *ldthe consumer stated the cruise control was activated. While driving up a hill, the vehicle sped up past the set speed. The dealer and manufacturer were notified and stated the vehicle was operated as designed. While driving, the steering suddenly jerked to the left about 1.5 inches. The dealer turned the sensitivity level on the lane assist. Also, the vehicle does not a metal screen over the air intake for the heater. This could allow rodents to enter into the cab.

The contact owns a 2020 hyundai elantra. The contact stated while driving the vehicle at an undisclosed speed, the tire pressure and check engine warning lights illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who checked the tire pressure and the engine oil levels. The contact was informed that the levels were at the correct levels however, the tpms warning light remained illuminated. The local dealer diagnosed the vehicle with a defective sensor. The dealer performed am electronic control module software update to attempt to fix the failure however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired.the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Car emitted carbon monoxide into car cabin, causing driver to lose consciousness and crash on highway and burst into flames
While driving on the highway my rpm started jumping while i was keeping a constant speed. A few moments later my rpm jumped and i was almost red lining. I slowed down to 35 mph and got off the highway and the car wouldnt go pass 30 without reving incredibly high. I took it in to the dealership and they told me they had to replace my transmission. My mileage was at 4500.

I baught this car sept 1st 2020, on october 3rd 2020 while driving the car pn my way to work on the hyway the transmition sliped and stopped shifting and wouldnt shift out of 2nd gear amd check engine light came on i was quick to put the hazard on avoiding collision from behind i took it into the dealership. Where they told me it would need a full transmition replacement due to manufacture defect. They are currently with gdpr the transmition to come so i'll have this loner car for the next 2-6 weeks.
While driving at 60 mph on a highway i engaged the cruise control.to my surprise the engine speed increased by 500-700 rpm.this seems to me to be a defect in the way the intelligent variable transmission (ivt) should operate or any transmission should operate.the result is that gas mileage will decrease and engine wear increase as a result of higher rpm than necessary.i believe this is a defect and should result in a recall by hyundai to change the operation of the transmission.there are many complaints about this issue from owners.i have contacted my dealer and they, in turn, contacted hyundai.i have also contact hyundai customer care.as of this writing i have not received any indication from hyundai that this condition exists and that it is a problem.i'm hoping you can require a recall to address the issue.
When cruise control is activated, the engine rpm automatically increases by about 700 rpm. At 75 mph, the engine rpm is 2300. When control is activated, engine rpm increases to 3000 rpm and remains there. This decreases gas milesge and increases wear on engine.
Conditions: while driving on a flat road surface/terrain, maintaining a consistent speed, and consistent pedal application. If you set cruise control, the rpms will jump by 500 or more. The jump in engine speed is maintained, not temporary. The sustained increase in engine speed will reduce fuel economy and increase mechanical wear on the vehicle. This issue has been present since the vehicle was purchased brand new. I do have a video but the 5 mb file size limit prevents me from uploading.
2020 hyundai elantra. Consumer writes in regards to cruise control problem. *ldthe consumer stated engaging the cruise control can cause higher rpms to maintain the set speed. This can cause extra wear on the motor and decreased gas mileage. The cause of the failure may be due to the new variable speed transmission.

Windshields safety defect ' hyundai elantra 2020 greetings, i am writing to inform you of my purchase of a defective brand-new hyundai elantra less than three weeks ago on january 06, 2020, from bob baker hyundai in carlsbad, california. While test driving the car, i noticed a haziness to the windshield when driving directly into the sun. I was told by a hyundai salesman, [xxx] that this haziness might be dirt and that the dealership would wash the car before i took it home thus taking care of the problem. Later, after a careful examination, i observed that the windshield had a speckle defect causing massive scattering and haziness of my field of vision when driving directly into the sun, a frequent driving condition here in southern california. I also observed that this defect exists in all six car windows (front windshield, four side windows and back windshield). This defect is particularly noticeable since i commute early mornings and evenings, times when the sun is low and directly in my field of vision. I want to emphasize that this manufacturing defect impairs the drivability of the car and is a considerable risk to my personal safety. It is hard for me to determine if this defect might not also be causing a mechanical degradation of the windshield's strength. On january 24, 2020, i took the vehicle back to the dealership and met with [xxx], the sales manager. During this meeting the hyundai representative easily detected and confirmed the windows' defect. This representative also told me that the dealership was aware of this defect and that other customers had reported this issue i also learned that i am not the only customer that has had this complaint and that the vehicle was knowingly sold to me in this condition. I'm attaching five (5) images that demonstrate this defect.best regards,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

It was noticed on my nexen tire that a bubble had occurred on the exterior/side of the tire. When i brought my car to the hyundai dealership to look at it, they told me that the bubble occurs when going over a bump in the road, and the cables on the inside of the tire push out to create the bubble in the tire. It is a safety hazard while driving, and a blowout could possibly occur. The technician at the dealership mentioned that they see multiple cars each month with these bubbles on the nexen tires. Nexen is the tire company that hyundai uses for their new vehicles. When i called nexen about the issue, they told me to file a claim, which has been approved and compensation will be provided for tire replacement. They didn't indicate if this was a common occurrence or not, but when in conversation with a representative, it appeared that they were familiar with the issue and were quick to respond about filing a claim.
