I recently experienced a possible recall event on my 2011 Sonata limited 4cy. The rear upper control arm attachment bolt sheared while at a stop light. I was stationary at a stop light, the light turned green and as soon as I starting moving the bolt sheared and I heard a grinding noise. Luckily, the event didn't happen while driving on the highway at a high speed. I looked up online to see if there has been any recalls and I found 'campaign TP3 - rear lower control arm replacement. I think the rear upper arm should be included in the campaign as the bolt shear was out of the ordinary and this vehicle has never been in an accident. I still have the rear crossmember that was replaced with the threaded part of the bolt still in it and the sheared bolt.

Was reversing out of my driveway and heard metal clank sound coming from front passenger side. I then kept driving down the block and heard something metal fall on the road. I got out and found a piece of a spring. It had rust on it where it cracked off. Brought to dealer and they said it needed to be replaced and was not covered under any recall. This car model had a recall for the springs (NHTSA campaign number: 15V629000) but for some reason my car was not covered under that recall as per the VIN lookup. Obviously my car has that issue, the only recal similar is the under body corrosion recall, but they told me that this does not cover this type of corrosion.

The contact owned a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. While driving highway speeds, an abnormal noise could be heard from the front end of the vehicle. The contact also stated that the door latches failed, which allowed the doors to remain open even when the vehicle was in drive. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the door latches and the front coil springs were defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that they could not be of any assistance due to the VIN not being included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 10V070000(latches/locks/linkages) and 15V629000 (suspension). The contact was informed that NHTSA had issued out the recalls and they were regulated by the manufacturer. The approximate failure mileage was 135,000.

E-brake was not holding on a slope for about 2-3 days. Took to service station for adjustment. Mechanic adjusted E-brake, but noticed that the left rear steering knuckle was cracked and deemed it was not safe to drive. Had to have the steering knuckle replaced. Took photo of the defective part (attached). Want some reimbursement for the replacement of a part that should not have been cracked (attached invoice). This vehicle has just under 20,000 miles on it.

- Indianapolis, IN, USA

Fracture of both front coil springs in suspension. Resulting in dangerous situation in which coils could have ruptured tires resulting in dangerous situation. I recognized issue early and had both front coils replaced and sway bar links replaced as well. I see that earlier Sonata models from my same year have been recalled for this concern. I brought this to attention to local Hyundai dealer - they stated my VIN showed no recall. Obviously, recall should be expanded to include my model (made in Nov 2010 in Alabama).

The steering wheel feels loose and when I try to turn the car acts as if your on ice or like I'm loosing control of steering the vehicle, I was advised by discount tire that the from suspension issue are causing my inner tires to wear and the dealership was only trying to sale me tires for $600 and did not mention any issues with the inner tire on that the tread was a little low. I have been driving on the highway and surface streets when the steering problems occur.

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.

I started to hear a clunking noise every time I went over any type of bump in July 2016. I took it to the dealership and they stated the sway bar end links needed to be replaced on the left and right side. My warranty wouldn't cover it so it took me a month to come up with the money to fix it. Two days ago right before my appointment to get the end links replaced the right side sway bar ended up breaking off while driving. I noticed it hanging off when I parked. I had it fixed yesterday for $285. When I picked up the car this morning now my eps light is on. Waiting to hear back from the dealership.

Over the past several months a progressively worsening clunking noise, with a reverberating rattle, has been coming from the front left side of the car when driving over bumps. In addition, the steering column has made progressively worsening clicking noises and became progressively looser when driving over bumps, to the point where the steering wheel would visibly shake back and forth. A Hyundai dealer said that this issue was caused by a failed steering column rubber coupler (a bushing in the steering column), that this issue is well known, and that eventually it would hinder the ability to safely drive the car. Fearing for my safety, I had the dealer replace the coupler at a cost of $375. Given the age of my vehicle and comparatively low mileage I do not believe that this issue reflects normal wear and tear and is instead related to a defective part.

This vehicles steering column shakes, rattles, and pops while driving, turning, etc.. I have had to also replace 4 front tires and several front end alignments within a years time frame. The tire couples inside every time I have had to replace from abnormal wear and wires are visible on the inside of the tires. When I reach 55-60 mph the whole front end shakes violently, and as stated front end alignments do not last long.

Hyundai recall 133: On Friday, March 25, I was driving and in motion when I heard a metalic, clanky sound when I drove over a few bumps in the road. I finished my trip and again while driving on the way back to my home, I heard it again and heard metal drop on the road underneath the car. I looked out the rearview mirror and saw a metal piece bouncing and then come to a stop in the middle of the road. I pulled over and picked up the part. I had my husband inspect it and he said it may be from the front coil spring. We immediately took the car to our local mechanic and had them inspect the vehicle. The mechanic confirmed that it was the front spring coil that had eroded and fractured. The mechanic also informed me that the spring was under recall. However, when I inquired about the recall, Hyundai motors of America informed me that my car was not covered under the recall notice 133. I have an open case with Hyundai motors of America (case # 8968274).

While driving the car I heard a metallic noise when I hit small bumps/cracks in the road. I pulled over to inspect the vehicle and could not find anything out of the ordinary. Further down the road I heard a bang/pop and a clunk. I then saw a small piece of metal fall out from under the passengers side of the car. I turned around and found the piece in question. It is a part of the front coil spring. I did some research online and found that Hyundai has a recall for this exact problem. I called the Hyundai customer care line and was told that my car did not fall under this particular recall. My car was manufactured 4/28/10 and the cars being recalled were manufactured between 12/11/09 and 02/28/10. I called the dealer and was told that the repair would cost $529. I was told that because of my manufacture date, that my car is not covered. I asked him if the springs involved in the recall were different than the ones in my car" he said he didn't know. If there is a known issue with these springs breaking at what point did Hyundai switch to a different spring? my car was manufactured within 2 month of the effected vehicles, my assumption is the spring in my car is the same spring that is in the recalled vehicles. Hyundai did not know there was an issue with the spring until 10/2014..... how many vehicles have the exact same spring installed as the "official" recalled vehicles" this is a known issue and Hyundai has a current recall for it, my vehicle should be repaired under the same recall, I'm sure it has the same broken spring as the others.

I have 71,000 miles and was told by Hyundai dealership, I need to replace axle. It is my understanding that I think in 2010 there was a recall, obviously they did not fix the problem. On the internet I am seeing several complaints about the axle on the 2011 Sonata.
