Worst car I've ever owned

2016 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 6A)

Fit and finish Terrible. Handling poor. Bad weather Handling DEADLY. It is so bad in snow and ice I just left it home. Brakes were bad from DAY 1. Dealers response was they couldn't find anything wrong. I eventually had to do an entire brake job. New pads and rotors. Dealer put an inspection sticker on it even with bad brakes and worn tires. Corporate Hyundai is a total waste. They are uninterested in anything but M O N E Y!!! You get subtle threats when trying to resolve an issue. I could go on and on but there isn't enough space here. But something else this company vehicles are a waste of time.

Did most of my dealing online and spent less time and hassle than going to a dealership. Saved money, too.

Buyer beware…have a ticking noise in my engine…service manager said due to wear and tear…I then stated yes it’s a 2016 bought new and it only has 58000km the service manager then said it was due to defective parts but because my warranty ran out late last year I am out of luck…they said it needs a new short block due to DEFECTIVE parts but they are basically saying sorry about your luck it sucks to be you…will never buy another Hyundai…due to the fact they do nothing about defects they are aware of you are best to buy elsewhere…just sayin

Two batteries in one week...

I have had two batteries die in one week. One of the totally new. This just tells me this 2016 piece of junk I bought continues to be worthless.
