2010 Hyundai Elantra Tires & Wheels Problems

THE TIRES WEAR OUT ON THIS VEHICLE, EVEN AFTER BEING PROPERLY ALIGNED! I HAVE HIM THROUGH 4 COMPLETE SETS OF TIRES AND HAVE 110,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I HAVE KEPT THE AIR PRESSURE AS IT SHOULD BE AND HAVE ROTATED THE TIRES EVERY 3000 MILES. ALL 4 SETS OF TIRES WORE OUT THE EXACT SAME WAY, WHICH WAS INNER EDGE TREAD WEAR. THE ALIGNMENTS WERE DONE BY HYUNDAI TWICE AND TWO SEPARATE BUSINESSES AFTER THAT. ALL SAID THE ALIGNMENT WAS WITHIN FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO ADJUSTMENTS FOR CASTER AND CAMBER ON THIS VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM CAN APPARENTLY BE REMEDIED WITH AN AFTERMARKET CASTER CAMBER KIT WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY $200. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI, AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET AND LEARNING THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH OTHER HYUNDAI MODELS INCLUDING THE ELANTRA. HYUNDAI ADVISED ME THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR A RECALL. I AM AVERAGING APPROXIMATELY 27,000 MILES PER SET OF TIRES!!! MY HYUNDAI CASE #10494797.

TIRE AIR VALVE BROKE AND TIRE WENT FLAT INSTANTLY. CAR WAS IN DRIVEWAY AND I WAS CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE.

MY WIFE OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA AND THE COMPLAINT I'VE GOT IS ABOUT THE LUG NUTS. I HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKE PADS, BRAKE SHOES AND ROTORS. THE FIRST PROBLEM I RAN INTO ON THIS PROJECT WAS THAT THE LUG NUTS WERE SO RUSTED THAT THE LUG WRENCH SUPPLIED WITH THE CAR WOULDN'T FIT OVER THEM - THE CHROME PLATING ON THE NUTS HAD DETERIORATED ALLOWING RUST TO BUILT UP UNDERNEATH THE PLATING SO THAT THE WRENCH WOULDN'T FIT. (I THOUGHT OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD TO CHANGE FLAT TIRES ON THE ROAD AND WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET THE FLAT TIRES OFF.) I CALLED THE DEALER TO SEE IF NEW LUG NUTS WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY SAID NO, THAT THEY'D GIVE ME A 'DEAL' OF $10/NUT - AROUND $200 TO REPLACE ALL THEM ON THE CAR! I STILL HAVE THE RUSTED LUG NUTS ON THE CAR BUT CARRY AN ADDITIONAL WRENCH THAT WILL FIT OVER THEM. I DID MANAGE TO REPLACE ALL THE PARTS, INCLUDING RUSTED AND WARPED ROTORS MENTIONED IN SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I'VE SEEN BUT CAUTION ANYONE WHO PLANS TO TACKLE THIS JOB TO BE PREPARED FOR A GRUELING JOB.

I BOUGHT 4 MICHELIN TIRES ON 11/02/2012. A 90,000 MILE TIRE. < 40,000 MILES 2 OF THE 4 TIRES HAVE UNEXPLAINED WEARING AND 1 TIRE HAS A BUBBLE. MICHELIN DEFENDER XT 195/65R15 (GREEN X)90,000 MILE WEAR. THE CAR AND TIRES ARE SERVICED ON A REGULAR BASIS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA TOURING. THE TIRE BRAND WAS KUMHO SOLUS KH16 AND THE TIRE SIZE WAS P215/45/R17 (NA). THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE TIRES DEVELOPED BUBBLES ON THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BECOME UNBALANCED AS IF HE WERE RIDING ON AN UNEVEN PAVEMENT. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A WARRANTY TIRES AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE TIRES WERE LOW PROFILE AND DUE TO THE AREA OF THE CONTACTS RESIDENCE THAT HE WOULD CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,400.
