Front Suspension problems of the 2000 Hyundai Sonata

Backing out of drive, right front fell. I am told the sub frame is rusted.

The contact owns a 2000 Hyundai Sonata. The contact received a recall notification regarding the NHTSA campaign id number was 09v124000 (suspension). The contact attempted to notify the manufacuturer on several occassions which there were no resolutions. There were three appointments scheduled for the recall repair which were rescheduled by the dealer. The vehcile had not been repaired under the recall. The contact was concerned about the safety risk. The current mileage is 83,032.

I was using the as normal, then the car began to pull to the right. My first thought was that I needed an alignment, but as I was pulling into a store I heard a pop and then the right wheel would not roll. I then contacted a tow truck to have it towed. I got the car a Hyundai Sonata lifted on jacks and jack stands an noticed rust and corrosion on the subframe and seen that the arms connecting the wheel components to the frame had broken.

I own a 2000 Hyundai Sonata. While driving my car at about 20-30 mph my sub-frame collapsed which caused my front drivers side tire to come completely off. When the subframe collapsed it fell on my axle which damaged. While there was a recall on the subframe my axle was not covered even thought the subframe collapsing is a direct result of my tire and axle detaching from my car. After voicing my concern Hyundai stated to me that they do not cover subsequently damage and that was nothing else to be said or done. This to me is a bunch of crap! if the subframe was not defective I would of never endured these problems with my vehicle. I have not had any major problems with my car until now. I have contacted Hyundai's consumer relations and they have done nothing no one is taking responsibility. I will contact my attorney general about this. This is not fair! thank god I was not seriously hurt because I would have been on my own. As they said they do not cover subsequently damages.

2000 Hyundai Sonata engine cradle rusted out, no accident, one owner, NJ. Hyundai covers repair for years 2001-2004 for the same exact defect but will not cover the year 2000.

Frame rusted out on right front passenger side. Right front wheel came loose collapsed, breaking trans axle. . . . . Repair costs over $2000. 00. . . Not. . . Including possible damage to transmission, if I did get frame repaired. . . Many conversations with Hyundai, never told there was a recall on this problem with this vehicle. . . Junked car. . . . Found out about recall nbr-78622 after getting rid of the car. . . . Hyundai told me, since I no longer own the car. . . . I am out of luck. . . .

2000 Hyundai Sonata, 1200000 miles noticed car was pulling to the right ion snow covered roads, did not drive to work next day on highway, son was taking to repair facility, right front wheel collapsed. Lucky was not on highway, repair facility says front suspension/frame was rusted through.

The vehicle started rattling in the steering column and randomly jerking to the right slightly. Over a period of 2 days the jerking to the right frequently (about every 30 seconds or less) made the car almost uncontrollable. The wheel has shifted about 1 inch back on the passenger side. The car is in the shop now and the engine cradle has almost completely rotted out on the passenger side. If it had gone on for any more time, people could have been killed. The fix costs well over $800. 00 and I am absolutely outraged to see that this has happened in the same year and model of my vehicle to many other people.

After failing a new york state inspection, I was shocked to discover that my 2000 Hyundai Sonata GLS had a rusted engine cradle the size of a fist on the right hand side. No previous inspections had indicated that there was this impending hazard. Consequently, I can no longer drive my vehicle, and according to the mechanic, it was a mere matter of days or a simple rough road that would have caused my subframe to detach without any prior warning. I have contacted Hyundai and am awaiting a response and fully expect them to not only repair the engine cradle, but make owners aware that models manufactured between 1999 and 2002 face this hazard to themselves and others on the road due to their own manufacturing defects.

I have a 2000 Hyundai Sonata. When the car was first purchased in February of 2006 the car had transmission problems where the car would not accelerate past 25 mph. I had to have the transmission replaced. Then later in that year while driving on the highway at about 65 mph I noticed the car would sway dramatically when you turned the will right. Taking the car back to the dealer they claimed to be just that the car needed an aliment. Now in 2008 I have had to have the right axle of the car replaced because while pulling away from a stop light the right wheel fell from the car at a 45 degree angle. Taking it to a tire shop to have the car inspected they informed me that the whole front underside of the frame was drastically rusted and that driving the car in the state would lead to a wreck or worse. Now I am lost and don't know what to do I have done research on the problem and I have found over 20 reports of this car model having this problem and it is very upsetting that no recall has been placed on these death traps on wheels. Someone needs to take responsibility for this before some dies.

I have a 2000 Hyundai Sonata v-6, and during a mechanic's inspection of a worn rear strut he noticed that two, large holes had rusted through the sub frame, engine mount. The mechanic stated that this is a dangerous condition and poses serious threat.

Right front wheel became detached and car skidded to a halt on busy road. The same thing happened 8 weeks ago to the left front wheel. I have since seen on the internet that this is a known issue with this make/model of Hyundai.

I was on my way to work, when I drove over a pot hole and the front end on my car is now resting on my tires due to severe rust in the frame.

Rusted frame, unsafe to drive.

This complaint involves a 2000 Hyundai Sonata. I was having routine maintenance done on the vehicle and was notified during service that the entire front end suspension and frame on my car is rusted out. When I looked at it, there were large rust holes apparent in the crossmembers and every weld I could see is completely covered in rust. My mechanic advised me that this is not normal for an eight year old car and that it may be unsafe to drive it much longer for fear that the suspension or frame will collapse.

My husband was driving the car and suddenly, he heard a unusual sound coming from passenger side; being very far from home he could not stop but the noise gradually became serious. He pulled over, get off the car and realized that the front tire, passenger side was went behind the normal position and touched the body of the car. Later at the garage the mechanic put the car up and discovered that the engine cradle was cur and it took out the axle. (the car had been towed to get there). He told me that I need a new part that cost $850 and the labor could cost $500. My surprise came when I went online to search for a cheaper price: first of all I did not find one but instead, I found thousands of complaints from people around the nation, having experienced the same problem with the same car, same model, same year. This defection has caused problem to my family: renting car, towing, we still going through difficulties and we can not afford the repair neither drive the car.

The paint on the car has come off going through the car wash. The front end squeaks. The windows would not go up or down the rear view mirror stopped working. The radio turns off/on at random. The check engine light turns on/off at random. Dt.

This car was wrecked prior to purchase I was just told this after having reported that the car has pulled to the right since the day I bought it. They did repairs to rear wheels, front end alignment, car continues to pull and hard to keep on road. I don't know what to do about it, I was not informed I purchased a previously wrecked car or I would not have purchased it. Don't really know where to go or what to do but the car is dangerous and difficult to keep on the road. I need suggestions on how to proceed. Just had a 30,000 service and asked why car can't be fixed was told it has been wrecked and frame is bent, it cannot be fixed. Please advise me as to what I should do. Thank you wanda king.
