2011 Hyundai Sonata body complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 73 of 73, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Twice the front bumper has separated from body on my daughters 2011 hyundai sonata, the first time the dealer stated she must have hit something but this was not the case even though the dealer insisted on putting the car up on a lift to inspect for damage, the car was only on the road for 3 days or less. The car was repaired by the dealer no charge. Now the car is 3 months old and the exact same problem has happened again. The bumper is not attached to the body properly in the design process, and whatever clips they use release the bumper when the car is driven. Sooner or later the bumper will fly off this car and either blind the driver when it damages the windshield or cause an accident when a driver behind the bumperless car avoids the debris of the bumper. This car should be investigated for an immediate recall. Defective attachment of bumper to body. Please look into this before someone is killed.
Front bumper clips break under normal driving conditions. Hyundai claims it's from scrubbing concrete curbs. The repair costs are around $800.00 - $1000.00. The bumper clips break while driving at normal speed the wind force pushes the bumper and wheel well onto the tires. Causing the wheel well to be ground away.
