hyundai elantra's (2003) low ground clearance,brake and suspension isuues
 

hi,
My 2003 Elantra GLS which is done about 1600 miles and got following
issues:-

1.front frame started hitting the sloppy ground when I back up from
driveway .is this due to some suspension problem .the vehicle goes
visibly down when we apply brake and give a feel of soft suspension. I
can also feel even a slightest road irregularity at all speeds.

2.the brake pedal goes down to the floor and it's giving a soft
non-assured feeling. It's an ABS equipped all disc brake.

How can I rectify above problems and please give some suggestions.

First thing I would check right before I drive to the dealer to have them
check it out is the brake fluid. Air in the lines could also be a cause I
believe.

At any rate, with only 1,600 miles you should be well within the warranty
and able to get it checked and fixed for free.

Can't resist this: if it only hits sloppy ground coming out of your
driveway, try cleaning the ground up so it's "neat" ground!

At 1600 miles your warranty should cover any concerns. Bring it to a
dealer and let them check it out.
