Then I started to hear rattling I pulled in my driveway that has a curb and noticed an object sticking out that looks like it should have been screwed into something.

Just to clarify, the VIN number claims my vehicle is a 2017 Hyunda Elantra… but it is a 2017 Hyundai Elantra LIMITED, which there are differences in the design/model of the vehicles. The vehicle was not inspected at time of purchase like originally mentioned to me in our agreement.

I bought a 2017 hyundai elantra limited edition at the end of 2016 it had 43 miles on it. I have taking it to about 6 different dealerships due to transmission issues and engine power loss and out if the 6 I have gone more the a few times. Their response to my concerns about the car is we cannot reproduce this so there is no problem or there's not a check engine light on.

Both drivers and rear passenger door actuators have gone bad. I see online this is a very common issue and have been told by the dealership that it is as well. They will not cover the costs of repair.

At speeds under 40-45mph, when turning only right, over bumpy and uneven roads (railroad tracks, manhole covers, humps in the road, seams in concrete), there is a clunking/clicking noise from the front of the car with an accompanying feeling in steering/pedals. Suspension during these situations feels very loose/unsteady. Feels like control could be lost if car is not handling properly.
