2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA — Complaint #1367542
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS filed March 31, 2017
NHTSA complaint #1367542 (ODI reference 10897767) concerns a 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA and was filed on March 31, 2017. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 19, 2016. The vehicle had 49,461 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Minnesota based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as suspension:front:springs:coil springs, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HYUNDAI ELANTRA cohort independently describe similar suspension:front:springs:coil springs failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
