Owner report 11489653 · 2022-10-17 (October 17, 2022)
My 2020 Hyundai Elantra stalled on me in the middle of driving it. Only check engine light was on. Had an oil change three months prior to it stalling and not wanting to accelerate. Made an appointment with dealership, they stated it would be fine to drive for another month and a half when they were able to get my vehicle in to look at it. Spoke with guy on phone said there was no recalls, which was a lie. Because last year it had a campaign opened on it that i knew absolutely nothing about, on top of the three recalls on it. My car did not ma…

Owner report 11526204 · 2023-06-09 (June 9, 2023)
Tire size: 225/4R18 88W Code 2119 indicates manufacture on 21st week of 2019. Factory original equipment on a 2020 Hyundai Elantra GT (N-Line). At the dealer for an unrelated service at approximately 37,000 miles. Tech noticed cracking on sidewall of all original tires. Suspects it is dry rot. There is a previous recall for these tires in a different size from 2015, but it appears the issue has not been resolved. I've attached a photo as an one example of the cracking. All original tires have multiple cracks like this along the sidewall.
