2006 Hyundai Sonata structure problems

“I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE REAR AXLE BROKE. ACCORDING TO RESEARCH, THIS IS A PART NOT REPLACED IN RECALL IN 2013. RECALL 113 I ALMOST COLLIDED THE VEHICLE WITH ANOTHER ONE.”

“I WAS DRIVING 25 MILES WHEN THE REAR AXLE BROKE. ACCORDING TO RESEARCH, THIS IS A PART THAT WAS NOT REPLACED IN RECALL IN 2013. I NEED THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOT MOVING. I ALMOST CRASHED THE CAR WITH ANOTHER ONE. WE WERE MY PREGNANT WIFE AND ME. RECALL 113”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE FISH TAILED OUT OF CONTROL. THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL STRUCK THE INNER WHEEL WELL AND SUBFRAME. THE CONTACT SLOWED THE VEHICLE AND MOVED THE VEHICLE ONTO ROAD SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE UPPER CONTROL ARM FRACTURED DUE TO CORROSION. THE SUBFRAME AND FUEL TANK WERE ALSO CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.”

“TL* THE CONTACT 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR AXLE CROSS MEMBER WAS RUSTED AND FRACTURED. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LUJACK HYUNDAI DEALER (563-445-4307, 101 W 37TH ST, DAVENPORT, IA 52806) AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER, STATING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER A WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 121,000.”

“TODAY I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL ON THE REAR CROSS MEMBER. I ALSO WANTED TO PAY FOR A FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT AT MY OWN COST. I DROPPED MY CAR OFF THIS MORNING ONLY TO BE CALLED A COUPLE HOURS LATER. THE GENTLEMAN STATED THAT HE COULDN'T DO AN ALIGNMENT ON THE FRONT TIRES BECAUSE "THE FRONT SUBFRAME IS ROTTED AROUND THE CONTROL ARM MOUNTING POINTS." HE SAID THAT MY CAR WAS "VERY UNSAFE" AND THAT I REALLY SHOULDN'T DRIVE IT. MY RIDE HAD LEFT AND I WAS 40 MINUTES FROM HOME. I HAD NO CHOICE. THANKFULLY, I MADE IT HOME SAFELY AND NOW IT'S PARKED FOR AWHILE. BUT AFTER SOME RESEARCH I SAW THAT 2001-2004 HYUNDAI SONATA WERE RECALLED FOR THE FRONT SUBFRAME ROTTING AWAY. NOT ONLY THAT, I SAW MANY CASES OF OWNERS OF 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING. HE TOLD ME THAT THE COST TO REPAIR WOULD BE OVER $1,300. OH MY. SO, MANY OTHER 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT SUBFRAME ROTTING AND RUSTING OUT. I REALLY FEEL LIKE SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS.”
