The original car jack supplied with the vehicle failed. The jack is intended to be used in an emergency where the tire needs to be removed and replaced by the driver. The jack almost folded in half. The jack was installed correctly under the car. I had removed the damaged tire, and suddenly that end of the car had fallen. If I had been in the act of installing the spare tire I could have been severely injured by the falling car. I have the car jack and it can be inspected if you need it to be.
UNKNOWN; My car moved from pavement to dirt rode. I pressed the break and attempted to turn left. The car did not slow down or turn. I went straight off the curve and hit a tree. Upon impact broke 4 bones(hip, ribs, arm, shoulder shoved into my chest) , lacerated 2 organs, and major concussion. I go for a secondary hip surgery to correct the failed device inside my body now.

2009 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE COVER ASSEMBLY AIR FILTER AND RECALL ISSUES. *SMD *CN
DRIVER SIDE VISOR DOESN'T STAY IN POSITION AND DROPS ON ITS OWN. THUS IT BLOCK THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD. WHEN I SEARCHED THE GOOGLE, I ENCOUNTERED SEVERAL THOUSAND OWNS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR ISSUES.
EMERGENCY BRAKE HANDLE IS LOOSE. RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING THE EBRAKE LIGHT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD. TO MAKE THE LIGHT GO AWAY, I HAVE TO TAP THE BRAKE DOWN. THE LEVER HANDLE IS LOOSE AND SHAKES WHEN I AM DRIVING. THIS COULD BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS HAPPENS DAILY. THIS STARTED HAPPENING A FEW MONTHS AGO.
WHILE DRIVING, THE AIR CIRCULATION SYSTEM TURNS OFF AUTOMATICALLY EVEN WHEN IT IS TURNED ON AND THEN AFTER A WHILE IT TURNS BACK ON AGAIN ON ITS OWN. AGAIN WHILE DRIVING, WHEN THE AIR CIRCULATION IS TURNED OFF, IT TURNS ON SPORADICALLY AND TURNS BACK OFF AGAIN. SO FAR THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ONLY FOR A SHORT DURATION BUT THE CONCERN IS THAT IF IT TURNS OFF FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME DURING WINTER DRIVING OR DURING RAIN THEN THE WINDSHIELD DEFOGGER WILL NOT WORK WHICH WILL END UP BEING A SAFETY HAZARD. NOT SURE IF THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM - MAY BE A LOOSE CONTACT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR A WIRING ISSUE. NOT CLEAR IF THIS WILL END UP AFFECTING OTHER DEVICES SUCH AS LIGHTS, ETC. LATER. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE SECOND HAND IN SUMMER OF 2015.
