Sonata

  • miles
The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Sonata. While driving speeds above 50 mph, the vehicle would shake and felt as if the wheels were not touching the roadway. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and to the dealer (hixson Ford of monroe, 6300 frontage rd, monroe, la 71202, (855) 519-9722) where it was diagnosed that the front driver and passenger tires needed replacement because the tire sizes were incorrect. The contact stated that the tires were replaced with cooper scs ultra touring tires, size:215/55R17 (dot:U93R1cu1817), but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

There have been various problems that were discovered recently mostly based on the rear suspension and shocks. The brake lights have gone out many times and the alignment is frequently incorrect, and so the tires go through a lot of wear. The most recent tires were placed 9 months ago and already have terrible wear from both the suspension and the alignment. Whenever the car is in motion, the car does not drive as smoothly as it should and bounces lightly. There is loud noise whenever driving over speed bumps as if the tire pressure is poor. There is also a grinding noise when the car turns somewhat sharply. Many of these problems have existed for a while but were only diagnosed today at a midas auto in wilmington, nc.

On May 17th, 2014 I was in an accident on interstate 95 in broward county, fl. A drunk driver hit me on the left side of my trunk then hit the cement median then came back and hit me in the middle of my driver side and back driver side door, then hit the median again came back towards my car and flipped and hit the front left side of my vehicle. So basically the whole left driver side of my car is smashed in. I was wearing my seat belt when this accident did occur. What my concern is, I did some research and it states the notable features included on this vehicle is six airbags standard. Not one airbag deployed and if I wasn't wearing my seat belt I would have been through the front windshield and probably lost my life. My entire left side of my body is damaged and the more severe injury is to my left leg and foot. With the exception of my left big toe, all other four toes have no feeling in them and my foot is deformed. I do plan on taking this issue to my attorney that is handling the accident case for me and hopefully Hyundai has a very clear explanation for why not one of the 6 airbags deployed.

The wheels are showing an extraordinary amount of rust. I have owned over twelve cars and have never seen rust on any wheels. This one has shown rust from 2009 and it has gotten worse. I am concerned if this will effect the safety and stability of the wheel structure. Are these wheels constructed with the same type of materials that the current investigation of the 2006- 2008 Hyundai Sonata's bumper/structural rust issues" are the wheels also under investigation like the undercarriage"
