45 Wheel problem of the 2001 Hyundai Sonata

Failure Date: 01/30/2019

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.

48 Wheel problem of the 2011 Hyundai Sonata

Failure Date: 08/01/2018

This is independent of campaign 10v426000 which involved "potential loss of steering ability". In 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, there have been numerous complaints involving the 2011 Hyundai Sonata in which the steering wheel shakes aggressively at speeds of 60+. In addition, there is a loud clicking sound that you can hear and feel when turning the corner or driving at speeds of 35+. While sitting idle, if the steering wheel is even slightly moved from left to right, you can hear and feel a knocking/clicking sound. When driving at speeds of 20+, any imperfection in the road or highway causes this "unsteadiness" in the steering wheel and the continued knocking noise. In all cases, it almost feels as if the steering wheel or the tires are going to detach from the car while driving. The car feels unsafe to drive in normal weather conditions and could be life threatening at high speeds or in adverse weather conditions. Given the vast number of complaints, I'm concerned that NHTSA has not taken action. Please find below the online complaints regarding this matter. This problem is likely impacting hundreds of thousands as not everyone will take the time to write a complaint. Given the past issues with a "steering issue' for the Hyundai Sonata 2011, your immediate attention in expeditiously identifying a possible life threatening problem would be greatly appreciated. Hyundai has been contacted by the public but has taken no action on their own accord. I have attached examples of the complaints online concerning this issue. Thank you for your assistance and review. . Read more...

54 Wheel problem of the 2007 Hyundai Sonata

Failure Date: 01/22/2018

There have been various problems that were discovered recently mostly based on the rear suspension and shocks. The brake lights have gone out many times and the alignment is frequently incorrect, and so the tires go through a lot of wear. The most recent tires were placed 9 months ago and already have terrible wear from both the suspension and the alignment. Whenever the car is in motion, the car does not drive as smoothly as it should and bounces lightly. There is loud noise whenever driving over speed bumps as if the tire pressure is poor. There is also a grinding noise when the car turns somewhat sharply. Many of these problems have existed for a while but were only diagnosed today at a midas auto in wilmington, nc.

55 Wheel problem of the 2014 Hyundai Sonata

Failure Date: 09/18/2017

The car was token the dealer, where it was bought, since they had told us they had some repairing to do but the car stayed the same. The engine makes a very unpleasant noise, every time. With the steering wheel, while turning left, it semi gets stuck. In order for that to not happen, you basically have turn it right away. It is at very high risk due to the fact that if it would manage to get stuck, it may cause an unnecessary accident. When it comes to the wheels, every time it turns left or right it makes a very rocky noise. We have called time and time for a reparation or to at least have something done. No one has seemed to really care nor catch their attention.

61 Wheel problem of the 2013 Hyundai Sonata

Failure Date: 05/11/2017

Found out today from a non-dealer mechanic that I need a wheel bearing on the front-right of my 2013 Hyundai Sonata GLS. Mileage 56k. Vehicle is garage kept, and when I'm at work it's in a covered parking garage. Symptom: excessive road noise, even after tire rotation. Seems to be a little premature for a wheel bearing to go out, and of course it won't be covered under Hyundai's 5/60 warranty. Was told that other failures could occur if part is not replaced.

65 Wheel problem of the 2012 Hyundai Sonata

Failure Date: 02/03/2017

We have a 2012 Hyundai Sonata, bought new, and now with very low mileage. . . Less than 13,000 miles as of February, 2017. Original tires are kumho p205/65r16. The left front tire consistently loses air pressure when garaged. Took only a few days to go from 33 psi to 24. This tire has to be re-inflated at least each week. Car was taken to the local Hyundai dealership, tires were inspected, and reported as having no problems. Car was taken back to this dealership few days ago. Service advisor was sympathetic but offered no help. Smiled, then walked away. Will now be taking the car to a tire outlet, at our expense, for yet another tire inspection. We feel that these kumho tires may be unsafe. We may end up replacing them with a more superior brand tire and / or selling the car.

68 Wheel problem of the 2011 Hyundai Sonata

Failure Date: 10/01/2016

While driving on the long island expressway in queens NY, an extremely busy highway, the control alarm on my front right tire completely snapped off. This caused me to lose control of my car and go across 3 lanes on a major highway with cars traveling 70 mph past me. Luckily no cars were hit and luckily myself or nobody was killed. Whats more disturbing instead of the dealership doing it's job to make sure my car is completely functional, they let me leave the lot with an issue they clearly knew about and just didn't say anything to me. After all they provided a complimentary wheel alignment so they clearly were examining my wheels at the time. And up to this point the car had been driving fine, smooth, no issues. I just had an oil change about a month back and nothing was noted to me by the mechanic then. I spoke with the dealership a few months back and they told me there had been a recall on the rear control alarms, which I know are about the same parts as the front control alarms. My car wheel just snapped off and I almost died on a highway as a result of this car. And I have been reading consumer complaints that similar issues have happened and there were possible recalls on the front control alarms to the wheels. This incident occurred on 10/1/16. It has been 10 days and Hyundai corporate has not contacted me. They are trying to avoid being responsible for a clear safety and road hazard with my vehicle. In addition my engine ceased on fathers day 2014 and they repaired the engine. Then in April 2016 I had metal fragments in my engine and they performed a complimentary wheel alignment. 3 months later my control arm is snapping of my front passenger tire.
