2005 Hyundai Elantra VE review from North America

"Death sentence, not only financially"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Erything possible... Tranny let go, 4 sets of rear wheel assemblies, tie rods, 3 radios, 2 power window motors, 4 times window fell off track, hood wouldn't open, gas door cable disconnected, engine knock.

General comments?

Biggest piece of jumk on the road, underpowered, spent more time at the shop than on the road, and had to threated hyundai with a lawyer for them to honour their warranty. Car was so dangerous at one point that I had to have it towed on dolly cause rear end was swaying from one side to the other (hyundai didn't want to have it changed under warranty). Showed up with a laywers letter and threatned to sue, they finally changed the rear wheel assembly (2nd set, 2 more to follow after that). Hyundai is a death trap, I hated the car, nothing but trouble and a pain to run. finally got fed up when tranny was acting up and I traded it in for a chevy. I had so much money to put in that garbage that is was only 3000$ more to get a new car than putting money in that piece of crap. A buddy of mine bopught a hyundai and I told him he was crazy and told him he will go bankrupt running that car.
