2007 Hyundai Sonata Suspension Problems

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY PULLED SIDEWAYS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE SIDEWAYS. THIS ACTION CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LEAVE THE ROADWAY AND STRIKE A CONCRETE POLE RESULTING IN SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. OCCUPANT WAS UNHARMED. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. PRIOR TO THE EVENT, THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING NO ISSUES.

ON OCTOBER 18, 2019 MY FUEL PUMP BROKE IT HAPPENED AT A PLAZA PARKED AND THEN ON FEBRUARY 10, 2019 WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR CRASH DUE TO A BALL JOINT FROM THE FRONT END PASSENGER SIDE. MY BALL JOINT BROKE AND EVERYTHING ELSE DETACHED IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY I WAS WITH MY KIDS AND THANK GOD I DIDN'T CRASH INTO A CAR BUT IT WAS A VERY SCARY TRAUMATIC MOMENT FOR ALL OF US. I KEEP REPLACING THE INNER AND OUTER TIE ROD, ALSO THE BALL JOINT AND NOW IT MAKES SENSE WHY, IT HAS TO DO WITH THE CONTROL ARM. I'M REPORTING THIS NOW BECAUSE I LOOKED INTO THE SAFETY RECALLS TODAY AND FOUND SO MANY MY VEHICLE FALLS UNDER THESE LISTINGS AND I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THE SAFETY RECALLS TO BRING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE PICTURES TAKEN WHEN MY CAR BROKE DOWN, BUT DON'T HAVE IT AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW I CAN PROVIDE IT AFTERWARDS AND I HAD MY CAR TOWED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE AND FELT AS IF THE WHEELS WERE NOT TOUCHING THE ROADWAY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND TO THE DEALER (HIXSON FORD OF MONROE, 6300 FRONTAGE RD, MONROE, LA 71202, (855) 519-9722) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER TIRES NEEDED REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THE TIRE SIZES WERE INCORRECT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH COOPER SCS ULTRA TOURING TIRES, SIZE:215/55R17 (DOT:U93R1CU1817), BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THERE HAVE BEEN VARIOUS PROBLEMS THAT WERE DISCOVERED RECENTLY MOSTLY BASED ON THE REAR SUSPENSION AND SHOCKS. THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT MANY TIMES AND THE ALIGNMENT IS FREQUENTLY INCORRECT, AND SO THE TIRES GO THROUGH A LOT OF WEAR. THE MOST RECENT TIRES WERE PLACED 9 MONTHS AGO AND ALREADY HAVE TERRIBLE WEAR FROM BOTH THE SUSPENSION AND THE ALIGNMENT. WHENEVER THE CAR IS IN MOTION, THE CAR DOES NOT DRIVE AS SMOOTHLY AS IT SHOULD AND BOUNCES LIGHTLY. THERE IS LOUD NOISE WHENEVER DRIVING OVER SPEED BUMPS AS IF THE TIRE PRESSURE IS POOR. THERE IS ALSO A GRINDING NOISE WHEN THE CAR TURNS SOMEWHAT SHARPLY. MANY OF THESE PROBLEMS HAVE EXISTED FOR A WHILE BUT WERE ONLY DIAGNOSED TODAY AT A MIDAS AUTO IN WILMINGTON, NC.
