Tl* the contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving 40 MPH, the contact heard a knocking noise coming from the front driver's side tire. The contact also heard a clicking sound when depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken to jim burke hyundai (1424 5th ave n a, birmingham, al 35203), but the dealer was unable to replicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 73,700.
We have a 2012 hyundai sonata, bought new, and now with very low mileage...less than 13,000 miles as of february, 2017. Original tires are kumho p205/65r16. The left front tire consistently loses air pressure when garaged. Took only a few days to go from 33 psi to 24. This tire has to be re-inflated at least each week. Car was taken to the local hyundai dealership, tires were inspected, and reported as having no problems. Car was taken back to this dealership few days ago. Service advisor was sympathetic but offered no help. Smiled, then walked away. Will now be taking the car to a tire outlet, at our expense, for yet another tire inspection. We feel that these kumho tires may be unsafe. We may end up replacing them with a more superior brand tire and / or selling the car.
I'm hearing clicking in steering wheels , it feels as though the steering will fall off. I was told I need steering coupler replacement
Low profile hancock tire 225 / 45 r18 has a sidewalls with a lip on it that extends above the wheel's .. Each of the tires shows spots where a part of the tire's lip was sliced right off or in big gashes...or is it tire rot? . Each gash are noth even close to the rim and shows no sign of hitting a curb. Each of my tires have a vo u please of these gashes. Dealer said nope thats not normal but its holding air so nothis they can do. . The new 2012 hyundai sonata equipped with these tires was purchased in july 2014.
My car caught fire while being towed by my motorhome in south miami, fl on route to key west, fl. A south miami, fl hyundai dealer repaired my car but did not replace all the parts paid for by my auto insurance company. The repair shop did not keep the burned parts as requested by me and my insurance company representative. Later, another hyundai dealer completed the repairs as authorized by hyundai USA after numerous communications with me, but the hyundai dealer would not provide me with the burned parts as requested. Hyundai did not report that a fire had caused the damage. Not sure if hyundai USA or its dealers have requirements to report fires in their vehicles. I have names of contacts with hyundai USA in ca. I have the burned TPMS sensor not replaced by hyundai, but paid for at my expense to a tire store in my home town. I have pictures of my car on fire; pictures of the burned parts on car in possession of my insurance company representative; I have receipts from the south miami hyundai repairs, and I have receipts from the other hyundai dealer for parts needing replacement but not replaced by the south miami hyundai dealer but paid for by my auto insurance company. I also have a receipt for replacement of the burned TPMS sensor by a tire store in my home town. I filed a complaint against the south miami hyundai dealer with the local government agency responsible for licensing auto repair shops in that county.
Rear tires are cupping every 10,000 miles. I had front and rear alignment done and no change. Read online it is a big issue with these. Maybe faulty manufacturer struts? Sounds like tires are about to fall off the rear hubs. Very loud. And keep having to buy new tires.
Tires wear unevenly and excessively fast. 60,000 miles and three alignments and four set of tires.
I was driving from my sisters at 17 mile and garfield home when I noticed my low pressure tire warning light had come on. I stop at the marathon gas station at 14 mile between hoover and schoenner to fill the tire. That is when I noticed the tear/cut in the sidewall of the tire. Air would not fill back into the tire. I even tried to use fix a flat, and that would not work either. I just had my oil changed at the dealership a few days ago, and they had checked on their sheet that everything was normal. Needless to say I am very frustrated with this. Especially since I had heard there has been issues with hyundai and their tires having this exact problem! I am hoping to have this problem rectified...don't even no where to start! [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The passenger side airbag deployed without reason. The tremendous force and flying debris caused the driver to react and brush the front passenger side wheel against the curb. Plastic pieces were thrown throughout the front of the car. Luckily, there were no injuries. Earlier that same day the car had been serviced by the hyundai dealer for a radio issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata with kumho solus kh25 tires, size: p205-65-r16. The contact stated that the tires on the front end of the vehicle were exhibiting an abnormal noise. In addition, the tires became worn prematurely. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where the cv joint and axle were replaced.

The 18 inch tires on the 2012 hyundai sonata have zero traction on any surface that is not dry. A dusting of snow makes it impossible to drive this car. Traveling at 5 MPH while turning from a dead stop into the neighborhood on a light coating of snow caused the car to slide out of control and hit a large rock causing front fender/ bumper damage then bounced back onto the road. This is not the first time the car has slid on anything but a dry surface. All last winter, we had to leave the car in the garage if there was any snow on the ground. We have never had this problem with another vehicle. It is undriveable in any snow. I have complained to the dealer and they say they have heard about complaints on the 18 inch tires, but offer no solutions. These tires are a hazard and need to be replaced. I have looked for snow tires or other solutions, but they are not made for 18 inch wheels.
After purchasing the car new in sept of 2011, we received notice from hyundai advising of recall due to pulling whiling driving. We contacted the local dealer multiple times and were advised they were waiting on the technical specification on how to fix the problem. This has continued since november of 2011. The driving condition of the car has continued to decline and has even caused the front two tires excessive wear. The front tires already need replacement. The car drifts off to the right severely when you release the steering wheel, causing fatiguing of the arms due to continued correction of the steering.
