OUR 17 YR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 35-40 MPH WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND THE ABILITY TO STEER THE CAR WAS NON EXISTENT. SHE FOUGHT WITH THE STEERING TO TRY TO GET IT OFF THE VERY BUSY ROAD WITHOUT SUCCESS. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC WHO FOUND THE SUB FRAME HAD RUSTED OUT. THE CAR THEN HAD TO BE TOWED AT OUR EXPENSE TO THE DEALER. WE NOW HAVE TO RENT A CAR FOR THE DURATION THE SONATA IS IN THE SHOP. HYUNDAI IS NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR TOWING OR RENTAL EXPENSES, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGE TO THE CAR. THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED IN APRIL OF 2009, IT IS NOW OCTOBER 2009, WHY WERE WE NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS VERY SERIOUS RECALL? THANK HEAVENS NOTHING SERIOUS HAPPENED TO OUR DAUGHTER. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO TAKE MORE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS I FOR ONE FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION SUIT BROUGHT UPON HYUNDAI AND COVER EVERY CAR IN ALL STATES REGARDLESS OF "SALT" AND MAKE RESTITUTION FOR ALL EXPENSES INCURRED, SUCH AS TOWING, CAR RENTAL AND ALL OTHER VEHICLE EXPENSES THAT WERE CAUSED AS A RESULT OF TOO LITTLE TOO LATE. BOTTOM LINE, THEY ARE NEGLIGENT BY NOT SENDING ALL OWNERS OF RECORD A RECALL NOTICE!!!! WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THIS CAR, SAME ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER THAT THEY HAVE ON RECORD IN THEIR DATABASE... WHY WERE WE NOT NOTIFIED???? THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS, WHEELS
I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AND WHEN I PRESSED MY BRAKES MY DRIVING AXLE SEPARATED FROM MY FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE. AFTER THAT HAPPENED A MECHANIC LIFTED MY CAR UP AND WE SAW THAT THE FRAME WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY COVERED WITH RUST. I CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER FOR THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THE VEHICLE WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE FRAME IS UNDER RECALL AND IS TO BE REPLACED. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT THE BOLTS HAD SEIZED TO THE FRAME BECAUSE OF THE RUST AND THE ONLY WAY TO REPLACE THE FRAME WOULD BE TO CUT THE BOLTS OFF. BY DOING SO OTHER PARTS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED RESULTING IN FEES COMING TO A TOTAL OF $3500, WHICH IS MORE THAN THE VALUE OF THE CAR. BECAUSE THE FRAME WAS UNDER RECALL, I WAS UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT ALL DAMAGE TO THE CAR RESULTING FROM THE RECALLED FRAME WOULD BE COVERED BUT THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO COVER THE PARTS AND LABOR RESULTING FROM THE RUSTY FRAME. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PULLED OUT INTO THE ROAD FROM A STOP SIGN AND MY CAR LOSS POWER AS THERE WAS ONCOMING TRAFFIC ALMOST COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAD TO COME COMPLETELY OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND STOP, AS I RESUMED THE CAR BEGAN JERKING AND SLOWING RESUMING SPEED. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED WITH MY KIDS SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT. THE ALSO DID THE SAME THING AGAIN AS I BEGIN TO DRIVE UP A INCLINE/HILL, IT LOSS POWER. I EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM AT LEAST 3-4 TIMES A WEEK. I HAVE RESEARCHED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN 2000 HYUNDAI SONATA, V-6 CARS AND CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT STATED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I HAD SEVERAL REPAIRS DONE FROM PREVIOUS RECALLS. I INFORMED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSONNEL THAT I HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATIONS IN THE MAIL REGARDING RECALLS. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS MY OWN. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE? I DID LET CAPITAL HYUNDAI LOOK AT MY VEHICLE A WHILE BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR NEED TO HAVE SOME SENSORS REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2000 MODEL, SHOULD THEY NOT COVER THIS MATTER? IF THE COMPANY IS SHOWING THAT THERE ARE POSSIBLE REPAIRS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN DONE BASED ON RECALLS REGARDING SENSORS AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES, ARE THEY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE THE PROBLEM IS REMEDIED IF IT DIDN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM? *TR

I OWN A 2000 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AT ABOUT 20-30 MPH MY SUB-FRAME COLLAPSED WHICH CAUSED MY FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE TO COME COMPLETELY OFF. WHEN THE SUBFRAME COLLAPSED IT FELL ON MY AXLE WHICH DAMAGED. WHILE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SUBFRAME MY AXLE WAS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGHT THE SUBFRAME COLLAPSING IS A DIRECT RESULT OF MY TIRE AND AXLE DETACHING FROM MY CAR. AFTER VOICING MY CONCERN HYUNDAI STATED TO ME THAT THEY DO NOT COVER SUBSEQUENTLY DAMAGE AND THAT WAS NOTHING ELSE TO BE SAID OR DONE. THIS TO ME IS A BUNCH OF CRAP! IF THE SUBFRAME WAS NOT DEFECTIVE I WOULD OF NEVER ENDURED THESE PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR UNTIL NOW. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI'S CONSUMER RELATIONS AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING NO ONE IS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. I WILL CONTACT MY ATTORNEY GENERAL ABOUT THIS. THIS IS NOT FAIR! THANK GOD I WAS NOT SERIOUSLY HURT BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON MY OWN. AS THEY SAID THEY DO NOT COVER SUBSEQUENTLY DAMAGES. *TR
