So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.

NHTSA action # EA08016 my 2003 Sonata which was purchased in NY operated there until 06/2008 was not recalled under the above action #. I feel this is a mistake as this car is showing symptoms described in the recall # 09V124000. I called Hyundai America with negative results.
I have a 2003 Hyundai Sonata. I have had nothing but trouble with this vehicle. I purchased 2 sets of new tires in the past 4 years and have had roughly 15 flat tires. I also most recently almost killed myself and my 3 kids w/ having the tire rod almost crack. I had a bill of $385 to have just that one part to be fixed. I have been on hold for over an hour now for the recall number I received in the mail. I am a single parent and need to be reimbursed for my troubles as this was directly related to the recall letter I just received. Please contact me.
I took my 2003 Hyundai Sonata in for a routine inspection and found out that the engine cradle had rusted through and was no longer drivable. The engine cradle had to be replaced, which is no small feat on this vehicle. I have read several other complaints of this and know it's under investigation, but wanted to log my complaint as well.
