On October 18, 2019 my fuel pump broke it happened at a plaza parked and then on February 10, 2019 was involved in a car crash due to a ball joint from the front end passenger side. My ball joint broke and everything else detached it happened on the highway I was with my kids and thank god I didn't crash into a car but it was a very scary traumatic moment for all of us. I keep replacing the inner and outer tie rod, also the ball joint and now it makes sense why, it has to do with the control arm. I'm reporting this now because I looked into the safety recalls today and found so many my vehicle falls under these listings and I never received a letter stating the safety recalls to bring my car to the dealership. I have pictures taken when my car broke down, but don't have it available right now I can provide it afterwards and I had my car towed.

Traveling at 50 mph highway off ramp. A rattling in the engine - broken rod - loss of power and no acceleration.

At 107,000 miles the engine started ticking. I drove to the dealer and the first mechanic who listened - didn't even open the hood, just listened said "you need a new engine". Cost of engine replacement with labor was estimated $4000-$5000 which was more than the car was worth, so I drove it another 20,000+ miles with the ticking getting louder until one morning it blew a hole in the block on the freeway. I've heard of this with other people and there low mileage Sonatas. Seems to me Hyundai is refusing to address the issue of a bad engine - this was a single owner 7 year old car with the original battery. Yep, the battery lasted longer than the engine!.

Had just had my car smog checked, oil checked, tires rotated and began my drive from san diego CA. To san antonio TX. I get to ozona TX I hear a clinking in my engine. I pull off the freeway and the car dies, the car behind me almost hit me my car is towed to the Hyundai dealership in san angelo the following Monday, and the mechanics said it was low on oil and the engine had seized. I could not afford to have an engine put it in at the time, as it is an expensive engine costing 5, -$7,000. 00. I had the car towed to san antonio TX where by a mechanic who said it was low on oil (had just had oil changed @ Hyundai). He added more oil. The people at Hyundai said they changed the oil and got the car to unseize and turn on but it was knocking. My car was later taken to am aamco, where the mechanics looked at it and found parts falling off it as they removed the oil pan. They called Hyundai, because another can just like mine came in that day with the exact same problem. The person at Hyundai said there is now a service bulletin out on the car but it has not been voluntarily recalled as of yet, because not enough people have stepped forward n filed a formal complaint. They do know that there is a problem with the way the filter soaks up the oil in the engine. It happens with no warning. No indicator lights came on in my car. . . No engine light, no oil light, no overheating or smoke or anything. Was running fine, and died. In this horrific place ive been put in, being stranded in a small texas town for a weekend, then another, and having to pay for rental cars, towing, multiple mechanics, I have learned alot about the car. The engine (according to Hyundai)is expensive because they didnt make very many. It costs more than the v-6!! many people have had the same exact problem with their cars, its all over message boards online and known among the salvage yards, machinists etc.

When driving the car, there was a noise under car, took to mechanic, bolts loose on engine mounts, also a bolt was gone,.

2007 engine tap on 3. 3 Hyundai Sonata when starting seems Hyundai used a paper oil filter design rather than a spin off possibly engineers failed to include a oil check valve to stop the oil from draining outof the engine, engine taps for 5-10 seconds until oil gets up to motor.
