The car is not mine, I am a mechanic,a 2003 sonata I do a lot of work on just had a rr lower control arm fail, I know they have a subframe issue,so knowing this, how many more of these"time bombs" are out their,they sell alot of these cars in the state I live in[new york], how many more major suspension components are failing due to corrosion! Alot of young people buy them because of price,the elderly also,that is why im writing this car belongs to an older widow who can't afford the repairs,the warranty should cover the repair but her late husband bought this car because of the warranty!!
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.
