My 2013 Hyundai Sonata Gt was a part of the Class action lawsuit in which the engine was replace. Within a year, I've had the vehicle checked and serviced at two different auto repairs shops for an extremely rough ride, loud rumbling-thumping and also a squeaking noise. The vehicle still drifts after having two separate wheel alignments. The steering wheel rattles and shakes with the slightest bump in the road. It feels like the underneath is falling apart and I'm going to lose control of the vehicle. With the sounds it makes and how it drives, it feels like I'm now driving a military tank instead of a car. I've spent over $2,000 for replacement-repairs of the: Tie Rods, U-Joints, Bushing, Brakes, two alignments and four new tires. I called the Ofallon IL Hyundai dealer who said there were no recalls or warranty left on these parts. After not getting any assistance from Auffenberg Hyundai, I researched online and found hundreds of complaints involving the suspension, Steering coupler, defective coil springs puncturing tires and causing motor vehicle accidents and serious injury. There were no warning messages prior to any of these symptoms. I feel that these mentioned parts contribute to maintaining control of the vehicle. I'm sure this could lead to a serious accident which could cause fatalities to eveyone involved! .........

Every time I go to start my car it gives me a warning to check brakes. I read online that many hyundai owners are having similar issues. This warning keeps the engine from starting. Along with this, there are also issues with the steering column and suspension.

While parked at the airport for 2 weeks, the right front suspension coil broke. I noticed the problem when I attempted to leave the parking lot and heard a horrendous metal scraping noise. Upon stopping the car and inspecting, I could see the coil spring hanging down. It scraped up the sidewall of the tire in just the short time to drive across the parking lot to where there was more light.

Took my car into jim click hyundai dealer..fixed rack and pinion covered under recall and they said they test drove, and found no issues regarding a bad ride on the road..I am beginning to think they are lying and haven't checked a full suspension check and may not have done a through test drive..it should ride nice instead of a bad ride with bumping and thumping sounds under the car..this isn't the first time a dealership mechanic technician couldn't find anything wrong when there clearly is!!!

The left, front spring on my 2013 hyundai sonata turbo broke during normal driving and punctured the tire. A similar event on the hyundai santa fe has triggered a recall, so it seems likely that the two vehicles may have the same defect. I suspect that the two models have similar suspension design, since the sonata turbo model has stiffer suspension. I believe that hyundai may have simply used the santa fe's spring, rather than creating a new design. This multiple usage of parts is common in the auto industry, and makes sense as a cost-saving measure. Therefore, I think the hyundai sonata may need a recall for their front springs on the sonata turbo model. The turbo is not a very common model, so there might not have been a large number of these failures.
