Sonata 6-cyl

  • 42,000 miles
I took my 2004 Sonata for inspection and was told that it would not pass due to a large hole from corrosion in front passenger subframe near control arm bolt costing $1200 to fix. After finding out that this was recalled and I was never notified, I contacted Hyundai and was told that my car was covered (I am in so-called "salt belt"). when I called the dealer back, I was told that my VIN is not included in the recall. The dealer then called Hyundai and dealer called me back stating that Hyundai would not cover. This hole can get larger and potentially cause the wheel to fall off while driving. My approx mileage is only 42K. Why is it not covered"!?!?!" I'm getting the run around.

Our car was excessively vibrating; we were told that the harmonic stabilizer needed to be fixed and that hyuandi cars were known for having this problem.

: the contact stated when the road slanted to the right, the vehicle pulled to the right. The dealership where the vehicle was purchased, as well as another dealership, aligned the vehicle. This has not repaired the problem. Updated 03/15/06
