problem #1

Oct 202006

Sonata 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 123,000 miles
I have had numerous complaints that I have filed with this vehicle. The latest complaint I have is with the drivers side upper control arm. My son could have been killed when this broke. I have talked to several garages including the dealership and no one has ever replaced an upper control arm except on a vehicle that is very old and then very seldom. My son was turning a corner when the drivers side wheel fell sideways. Upon looking at the problem we discovered that the upper control arm broke. This should have definitely should have not happened on a 2002 vehicle.
