Driving on clear paved street @ approximately 20 mph when loud crackling noise of front right fell to pavement. No loss of control, merely steered vehicle off main lane of street. No structure or object found on paved street for approximately 50 yds to final point of exiting off of street. Witness in car with driver can attest to no pot holes or other noted objects anywhere in area of tire markings on paved street. Auto required full tow to closest dealership.
Our car was excessively vibrating; we were told that the harmonic stabilizer needed to be fixed and that hyuandi cars were known for having this problem.
I currently own a 2004 Hyundai Sonata with a severe sub-fame deterioration, unfortunately it does not fall under the so called salt belt states, that being said I don't know how kansas does not fit that especially north east kansas. Wondering if there's some way that they could reconsider on this matter and maybe get some help. I know the cars almost 20 yrs but it's in good shape with only 108000 miles on it. Thanks for any help with this matter. I was just informed by Hyundai that they would not do anything with it so I guess my only option is to drive it at my own risk and hope for the best. Regardless I'm very upset with there decision and that there okay with a persons life knowing this was a issues with many Sonatas that probably didn't make the recall list.
: the contact stated when the road slanted to the right, the vehicle pulled to the right. The dealership where the vehicle was purchased, as well as another dealership, aligned the vehicle. This has not repaired the problem. Updated 03/15/06.
