Front Suspension Wheel Bearing Problems of Hyundai Sonata

I was driving on a side street, heard loud noise coming from left front wheel area when I heard a grinding sound and car was riding rough. Called for help. Instructed not to drive vehicle till it was looked at by a mechanic. Mechanic who evaluated and repaired vehicle said he has never seen "pitted wheel bearings" in 30 years of operation. He gave me back the faulty bearings and told me I should contact you and the corporate area of Hyundai, because this is a serious safety issue and warrants an alert or recall. The driver side lower ball joint and bearings had to be replaced. Please review ASAP, as this is a serious safety concern for the rest of the population. Thank you!.

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.

The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Sonata. While driving approximately 50 mph, a rattling noise emerged from the driver side wheel. The dealer diagnosed that the vehicle was safe to drive. The failure could not be duplicated. The contact also stated that the same failure occurred approximately four times. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealer after the most recent failure. The dealer diagnosed that the driver side wheel bearing was defective. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 18,400.

I have a 2000 Hyundai Sonata that the front right subframe has completely rusted through and there is another huge hole on the other side as well. I know Hyundai has issued a recall, but it does not affect my state-TN. I am a single mother and student who has put a lot of money in that car. Transmission, axles, timing belt, alternator, starter, both ball joints, both tie rod ends, both wheel bearings, air flow sensor - twice. This problem is one Hyundai needs to fix. Even for those not in the salt belt states.

18 months after purchasing my 2004 Hyundai Sonata brand new. The rear wheel bearing seized causing my tire to drag while driving and the tire then popped. I was able to have the wheel bearing replaced under warranty. However, they would not cover the tire.

Electrical system. I have already filed one complaint on the check engine light and the sensors. It has been in the dealership 9 times prior to this one. Now it is a cam sensor and I believe a speed sensor. Not only that but both wheel bearings are bad. It has roughly 78,000 miles. You can only get parts at a dealership. The parts are not only overpriced, but the dealership charges outrageous prices to do anything. You can unhook the battery and the light will stay off for a couple of months and then it comes back on. I take it to the dealership and they supposedly fix it and the light comes back on in a shorter amount of time than unhooking the battery. I have spoke with Hyundai when the problems started and all you get is we'll fix it until the warranty is up then you are out of luck. I can't keep the check engine light off long enough to even sell it.
