FRONT SUB-FRAME FAILURE DUE TO PREMATURE RUSTING. PART WAS REPLACED BY HYUNDAI AT NO COST, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS 19,000 MILES PAST THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THERE WAS ANOTHER FRONT SUB-FRAME IN THE SERVICE BAY OF THE DEALERSHIP WITH VERY SIMILAR CORROSION DAMAGE IN A VERY SIMILAR LOCATION. THAT DEALER IS LOCATED AT 7115 BROOD PARK ROAD, PARMA OHIO (GANLEY PARMA IMPORTS). *JB

APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AT AN INTERSECTION NEAR WORK, THE CAR MADE A LOUD KIND OF CRUNCHING NOISE AND CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP. I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS LEANING DOWN A LITTLE IN THE FRONT ON THE RIGHT SIDE. FROM INSIDE IT LOOKED LIKE I HAD A FLAT, BUT WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO CHECK I NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS LEANING OUT TOWARDS THE CURB AND APPEARED TO HAVE BROKEN OFF. I TRIED TO MOVE THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET, BUT IT WOULDN'T MOVE. I EVENTUALLY HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. I WAS INFORMED BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM HAD ROTTED AWAY FROM THE SUBFRAME. SINCE I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUMPER-TO-BUMPER, I CALLED THE COMPANY, UNIVERSAL UNDERWRITERS SERVICE CORPORATION. THEY LATER INFORMED MY MECHANIC THAT THEY WOULDN'T COVER ANYTHING BECAUSE THE SUBFRAME WAS NOT INCLUDED AS A COVERED PART AND ALSO BECAUSE THE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY CORROSION AND CORROSION VOIDS ALL COVERAGE. I THEN CONTACTED THE HYUNDAI DEALER WHO ALSO TOLD ME THE SAME THING. IT COST ME $2000 TO GET THE CAR FIXED. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE CAR, THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE OLD SUBFRAME AND WHERE IT HAD ROTTED OUT AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT. YOU COULDN'T EVEN SEE WHERE THE TWO HOLES THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BOLTS INTO WERE. THERE WERE JUST TWO BIG GAPING HOLES SURROUNDED BY RUSTED METAL. HE TOLD ME THAT THE NEW SUBFRAME HAD THREE DRAIN HOLES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SUBFRAME THAT WOULD ALLOW WATER TO DRAIN OUT. BECAUSE THE OLD SUBFRAME DIDN'T HAVE ANY DRAIN HOLES, HE FELT THAT THIS MEANT THAT HYUNDAI MADE THE CHANGES FOR SOME REASON. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT I WAS LUCKY THAT THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN TO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING FASTER ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I HAVE FOUND OTHER SONATA OWNERS ON THIS SITE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED FOR OTHER SONATA OWNERS WHO MAY BE DRIVING A PRODUCT WITH A CLEAR MANUFACTURE FLAW. THIS LOOKS LIKE A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE OWNER AND FOR OTHERS ON THE ROAD. I CURRENTLY HAVE THE PART IN MY GARAGE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WHEEL COLLAPSED AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE STATED THAT THE FRONT UPPER CONTROL ARM WAS RUSTED AND THE BOLTS SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE FAILURE WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 69,000.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
THE ENGINE WILL INTERMITTENTLY RACE INCREASING RPMS WITHOUT NOTICE, VERY DANGEROUS. IT HAPPENED WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. IF MY FOOT WAS NOT PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE I WOULD HAVE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT, IT WILL ALSO OCCUR WHILE IN PARK WITH THE ENGINE RPMS GOING UP TO 3200 AND DOWN TO 1500 LIKE IT WAS A HUNT LASTING SEVERAL MINUTES. IT WILL STOP ,BUT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW OR WHY. IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN DRIVING AT SUSTAINED HIGHER SPEEDS ON INTERSTATE, THEN GETTING OFF THE EXIT. I DO NOTICE THAT WHEN I ACCELERATE AWAY FROM A LIGHT WHILE THE PRMS ARE HIGH THE ENGINE ALMOST CUTS OFF THEN PICKS UP IN A JERKING MOTION. IF I TURN OFF THE ENGINE WHILE THE RPMS ARE HIGH RACING I AM NOT ABLE TO RESTART FOR A WHILE. I SMELL GAS, FLOODING I ASSUME. THE REPAIR SHOP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT IT SINCE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHILE IN THEIR HANDS. *AK

WHEN CHANGING THE OIL ON 1999 HYUNDIA SONATA GLS NOTICE DLARGE RUST HOLES ON THE SUBFRAME STRUCTURE, AND IT WAS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS SUBFRAME IS THE ENGINE CRADLE AND ALSO CONNECTS TO THE SUSPENSION. THE HOLE WAS LARGE AND COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH THE PART. THERE IS A CREAKING IN THE FRONT END WHEN HITTING A BUMP AS WELL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THEY ADVISED ME TO REPLACE THE PART AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, PART-$1400, LABOR-$600-700. THEY SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND THAT HYUNDIA WOULD NOT COVER IT. ALSO, THEY ALSO THEY NEVER HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE. I THEN CONTACTED CONSUMER AFFAIRS AT HYUNDIA AND THEY CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR INFORMATION ON THE ISSUE, AND THEY SAID THAT THE CAR WAS WAY PAST WARRANTY AND THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I ASKED IF THIS HAS EVER BEEN NOTED BEFORE, AND HE SAID THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF THIS FAILURE. THE TECH NICIAN AT THE DEALER SAID THAT THE CAR WAS A RISK TO DRIVE AT SPEED. *AK

FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL WOBBLE. EVENTUALLY GREW TO CAUSE VEHICLE TO SWERVE BADLY. TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SUB-FRAME WAS RUSTED THROUGH. REPLACED THE SUB-FRAME WITH NEW. OLD HAD ONLY TWO HOLES TO ALLOW WATER TO DRAIN OUT, WHEREAS NEW HAD EIGHT DRAIN HOLES AND WAS TWICE THE WEIGHT OF THE ORIGINAL. NEITHER THE MECHANIC NOR ALIGNMENT TECH COULD BELIEVE THAT A VEHICLE WITH NO SIGN OF RUST ANYWHERE, WOULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM. WE SPENT APPROXIMATELY 1,700.00 FOR THE REPAIR. I DO NOT HAVE THE OLD PART, BUT DID TAKE SEVERAL DIGITAL PHOTOS TO DOCUMENT THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC COULD GIVE HIS ACCOUNT AS WELL. AS A SON OF AN AUTOMOBILE MECHANIC I COULD RECOGNIZE THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT WENT FAILURE. SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT NOT AND COULD EASILY COST SOMEONE'S LIFE. AS A MATTER OF GOOD CONSCIENCE, I WAS COMPELLED TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. *JB

MY SON WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE LOCAL PIZZA SHOP WHEN HE NOTICED THE CAR WAS MAKING A STRANGE NOISE. HE ASKED ME TO LOOK AT IT, SO, I TOOK IT FOR A SHORT RIDE AROUND THE BLOCK. I WAS HALFWAY AROUND THE BLOCK, MOVING AT A SPEED UNDER 5 MPH, WHEN A LOUD GRINDING AND POUNDING NOISE OCCURRED. SOMETHING SERIOUS ENOUGH TO DISABLE THE VEHICLE HAD HAPPENED. I GOT OUT AND SAW THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WAS POINTED OUTWARD, AND HAD SETTLED BACK AGAINST THE WHEEL WELL. THANK GOD HE WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL SERVICE STATION WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A ROTTED OUT SUB FRAME. THIS VEHICLE SHOWS NO SIGNS OF ROT OR RUST. CERTAINLY NOTHING THAT WOULD PROMPT AN INSPECTION OF THIS PART. YET, THERE WERE PRACTICALLY NO WARNING SIGNS OF HOW EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IT WAS TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE. I CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL DEALER, AS DIRECTED BY THE CORPORATE WEBSITE (I WASN'T ABLE TO GET A HOLD OF THEM DIRECTLY), THEY CLAIMED THEY NO PAST HISTORY OF THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. HOWEVER, THEIR RESPONSE TO THE PROBLEM GAVE ME THE FEELING THIS WASN'T THE FIRST TIME THEY'D HEARD OF THIS PART FAILING. BECAUSE THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, AS PER THE POSTING ON YOUR WEBSITE, I'M REQUESTING YOU FURTHER RESEARCH THIS ISSUE. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, SUCH AS PREMATURE DETERIORATION DUE TO THE USE OF SUB-STANDARD MATERIALS, YOUR PROACTIVE APPROACH, COULD ONCE AGAIN, BE INSTRUMENTAL IN PREVENTING CATASTROPHIC INJURIES OR EVEN FATALITIES. IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO TO ASSIST, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. *NM

AIR BAGS, AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
I RECEIVED A RECALL ON MY 1999 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER ON AUGUST 02 2002. THEY INSTALLED A SIDE AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS. LATER THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK IN APRIL 13 2004, THEY RESET THE CODES, TURNED THE AIR BAG LIGHT OFF AND ADVISED ME NOT TO PUT ANYTHING UNDER THE SEATS. ON 6/14/2004 THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I CALLED THE OFFICE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD LOOK AT IT BUT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND NOT UNDER THE RECALL. THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. THEY ONLY FIX IT ONCE ON A RECALL. IF IT COMES BACK ON AGAIN I AS A CONSUMER NEED TO PAY TO FIX IT. I THEN CALLED HYUNDAI. I WAS CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE AIR BAGS STILL WORK AND THAT THE LIGHT WILL NOT AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE AIR BAGS. I HAVE DONE A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THIS OVER THE YEARS AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY INCIDENTS WHERE THE FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY . I FEEL THAT THE AIR BAG PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. *JB

WHILE DRIVING MY 1999 HYUNDAI SONATA( VIN# KMHWF35V5XA04162) ON SOUTH AVENUE IN STATEN ISLAND THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WHEEL FELL OFF.DEALER SAID THE CAUSE WAS CRACKED K FRAME, THEN LATER UPON ASKING FOR DAMAGE ESTIMAT SAID THAT IT WAS DUE TO BENT K FRAME. SINCE THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED DECIDED TO TAKE CAR TO MY OWN MECHANIC. UPON EXAMINATION HE SHOWED METHAT THE K FRAME WAS NEITHER CRACKE NOR BENT, IT WAS SIMPLY RUSTED THROUGHOUT AND THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY JUST FELL OFF WHEN THE RUST COULD NO LONGER HOLD IT TO THE FRAME.CALEED BACK BOTH DEALE AND CORPORATE HYUNDAI NOT ONLY FOR REDRESS BUT ALSO TO EXAMINE FOR DEFECT THAT COULD RESULTING INJURY TO OTHERS IN SIMILAR SITUATION. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT THE CAR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANT FOR THE K FRAME AND THAT ANY PROBLEM WHETHER DUE TO ROT, RUST, OR OTHERWISE WAS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. THEY WOULD NOT SEND ANY SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TO EXAMINE THE CAR PERIOD.IF THIS INCIDENT HAD HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURY OR DEATH, HYUNDAI'S REFUSAL TO EVEN TAKE A TIME OUT TO SEE IF THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM INDICATES A CALLOUS DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS WHO MAY BE DRIVING SAME MAKE AND MODEL. THE CAR IS ATILL INTACT AND AVAILABLE FOR WHATEVER YOU MIGHT ADVISE ME TO DO WITH IT. PLEASE RESPOND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS I CAN'T LEAVE IT WHERE IT IS FOREVER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH ANNETTE HYLAND

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
DT: CONSUMER OWNED A 1999 HYUNDIA SONATA. CONSUMER HAD TAKEN VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT WAS OVERHEATING. THEY FLUSHED RADIATOR, CLEANED THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE, AND REPLACED THE COOLANT. ALSO, PUT A NEW DRAINING PLUG IN THE RADIATOR. THE DEALER SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE COOLING FAN. THIRTEEN DAYS LATER ON 6-28-05 WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT A STORE IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. WHEN THE CONSUMER TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD HIM THAT ALTHOUGH HE WAS NO EXPERT IT WAS THE BATTERY THAT BLUE OUT. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THAT IT WAS THE COOLING FAN THAT CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE BATTERY WAS STILL PARTIALLY THERE AND THE COOLING FAN MELTED. HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, THEY TOLD HIM IT WOULD BE UP TO THE DEALER TO DETERMINE WHAT HAPPENED. THE CONSUMER SAID THAT HE COULD NOT EVEN GET A FIRE MARSHAL TO INSPECT THE DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE FIREMEN THAT CAME TO PUT FIRE OUT DID MAKE A REPORT. TO THE BEST OF THE CONSUMER'S KNOWLEDGE THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO ANY OTHER VEHICLE. *AK *TT
