2015 Hyundai Sonata wheels problems

Filed Jan 20, 2026 · Wheels · UT

We have had issues with tires not wearing equally and tears on the inner tire/s shortly after replacing. This has happened twice so far. This has lead to air loss, severe vibration, and pulling while driving. Most recently, both back tires were losing air with one back tire having a structural issue on the inner portion of the tire making it unsafe to drive. We had just put on new tires in 1/2024 and had to replace one of those before this issue because of a tear on the inner portion. Both back tires were replaced and rotated. Severe vibration and pulling occurred. We took it in to have balancing and an alignment done only to find out that all 4 rims are bent to varying degrees on the inner lip that meets with the tire. All 4 tires were wobbling significantly during the service to balance resulting in the inability to balance the tires. As there hasn’t been any occurrence that would have caused all 4 rims to bend in the exact same place, and reading about the defects of the coating on the rims as well as other wheel related issues, we felt it necessary to file a complaint. Living in a state where there is salt put on the roads as well as salt in the snow itself, peeling and premature wear to the rims due to the lack of a safe and sufficient coating, exposes the metal to the elements and excessive salt during the winter months. This in turn weakens the metal making it susceptible to bend and sustain damage it would not otherwise sustain. We now have to replace all 4 rims to eliminate the vibration and alignment issues.

i've had my 2015 hyundai sonata now for A year. i took it to the hyundai place to have recalls on the security fixed. and told them about the valve cover gasket leaking. they said they fixed it. however every since i took it to the dealership i have had nothing but problems. my car makes a rattling noise when i accelerate, i smell a strong gas smell occasionally at random times but always while driving. my driver brake light has never worked, my driver headlight keeps blowing, my airbag light is now coming on randomly, my car has a bag vibration while going down the road, when i let off the gas it stops and i have replaced tires and still it won't go away no matter what i have done to fix it , and there has been many times after i return home the smell of something burning as off something is on fire is coming from my car. i have even been in panick thinking something today home was on fire but the smell was coming from my car. and others have even stated they smelled it as well. i've already taken out two loans to fix the valve cover gasket and the fuel pump filter, i can not keep taking out loans to fix problems that appears to be problems from the manufacturer and same problems others have had due to malfunctioning issues. i have children that ride in my car, i would hate for someone to get hurt or worse bc of manufacturing problems. then hyundai would have a bigger problem on their hands.

The day I bought the vehicle from carmax, it was brough to my attention that theses been a recall request on the vehicle's parking break system. I'd like to get that checked out. Also, it seems as tho my left rear tire runs out of pressure quite frequently, as I've had to fill it up twice in the last two days (it got down to 24 for a day.) these are immediate risks that I need taken care of asap. Thank you fr your time

6 alignments with tire balancing, untold tire balancing on other occasions. The car vibrates at high speeds, my first set of tires wore out through to the steel belts on the inside at 32000 miles with a a good 1/4 in of the tread on the outside left on the front two tires. I've complained the first week I had the car and multiple times since. Not hung vivible has been found. The tire alignments and balancing to the new tires didn't touch the vibration. My fear is it's a control arm or other front end suspension issue or failure that's not visible.

2 weeks ago, I found in my front passenger side tire a bauble and I took the tire to the discount tire to be checked. The tire specialist discovered other problems on both front tires. The tires are severely cupped the inside edge. He recommends me to check with the service dealership as soon as possible, he never ever experienced that type of problem in the past. Dealership service world car hyundai took the car for entire day and told me that they might think it needs to be done the alignment. I totally refused to do it because the alignment is perfectly fine, my steering wheel not turning in any direction and is not shaking while I am driving. This is what I found on forum!
