general problems of the 2001 Hyundai Sonata

Recently I had a situation where I was driving on county road way and my car suddenly collapsed and came to an immediate stop. To say the least, I was a little shook up. I got out the car and noticed that the driver side wheel had lodged against the wheel well. The car would go into gear but it was making a knocking noise so I turned it off. A driver of a green sedan car was behind me and I was trying to wave her around me but she stopped and assisted me into getting my car off the street by pushing my car while it was in neutral. I am only telling you this because there was nothing wrong with my car before this incident. I was told by Hyundai thompson that my car would not start after it was towed there. I went there the next day and the car did start but it would not go into gear which was a surprise to me. I was told that they may have to check the transmission and talk to you to see if that damage would be cover under the recall for replacing the engine cradle. After Hyundai thompson repaired my car I had to take it back for a roaring noise caused by the wheel bearing in the wheel that jammed against the wheel well when the axle snapped off the subframe. They also could not preform a wheel alignment. I also took it for a safety inspection and it failed due to some items I feel are related to the repair of replacing the subframe like the wheel bearing, the front end alignment, both front upper control arms and the outer tie rods missing cotter keys. I want to know my rights concerning this recall and I also want my car in the driving condition before this incident occurred. Case # 15551136 with Hyundai.

Was informed approximately 2006-2007 by good samaritan, bill osterhage, that his daughter's 2002 Hyundai front tire rod axial broke d/t major corrosive issues with frame defects. He contacted an attorney for class action law suit to be started d/t safety issues to prevent death to others & repair frame to rob carey at rob. Carey @att. Net & amyw@hbsslaw. Com. From 2006- until 2009 during routine oil changes, I asked kerry Hyundai in alexandria, ky to check my frame d/t visual rust & about recall. Hyundai finally admitted after multiple complaints during routine maintenance in a letter to me on 6/24/09 that there was a recall on 4/16/09 and my frame to be replaced. 8/15/16 I lost control of my 2001 Sonata, Hyundai while driving on expressway during rush hour d/t major corrosive issues causing right rear tire rod to break. I did two 360 degree turns from fast lane to slow lane. Grace of god I didn't crash or cause any accidents. Filled report with Hyundai dealer & corporation 8/16/16. Corporation stated that there is corrosive settlement for front frame and another for the rear frame. Has been two weeks and Hyundai corporation has not contacted me back, but stated compliant alone with pictures taken by dealer has been sent to "regional agent". Manager of service department from dealership at kerry Hyundai alexandria, ky, jeff, stated "the matter is out of his hands and representative from Hyundai corporation is to handle matter. Also, jeff, manager of service department at kerry Hyundai, stated "damage to frame cost more than what care is worth". Mechanic at kerry Hyundai stated that "Hyundai has major issue with frames, this is the third one this month, of August, that has come in d/t corrosive defects, and one of the cars was only three years old". Please do something before someone is killed. Life is a precious gift and no monetary amount can replacement it.

Hyundai wont pay for the tires that had to be replaces many times or a car to drive while mine was in the shop its their fault their lack of quality build of the car. The dealer is fixing the frame due to the recall no charge to me but I will have to pay for new tires and a car to drive till mine is fixed and to realine after I just feel thats unfair. . It all should be included on the recall. . I wont own one again.
