Replacing a non defective part with a better one? Great way to preserve the JD Power rankings.

Since it has been recalled, it won't count against them on the ratings. They will remain as one of the most "reliable" cars regardless of the number of trips you have to take to the dealership. Way to go JDP and Consumer Reports! LoL!

Better start using more cheap parts. These car companies will pay the price for penny pinching.

It's a good thing the Koreans manufacture high quality automobiles such as this one.

"Following at least one reported incident of a man who claimed his ear was sliced in half following the deployment of his side airbag, Hyundai has announced a recall for certain model year 2011 through 2013 Elantras"

Odd that this recall was posted over a week ago while the Honda one was announced this morning yet Autospies chooses to only post the Honda recall. Honda isn't sending in those advert checks fast enough?
