I replace my front axles to my vehicle, being that Hyundai, would cover the cost. and hell no I did go to Hyundai to have it fix. They over charge, and sometime these mechanic, don't know what they are doing.

Sonata LS 2.5L

The Whole point of buying a car from a dealership was to feel comfortable and safe that I don't have to go through these type of problems. I hate that I went through these so quickly after purchasing the car
