2011 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET, HEARD LOUD NOISE COMING FROM LEFT FRONT WHEEL AREA WHEN I HEARD A GRINDING SOUND AND CAR WAS RIDING ROUGH. CALLED FOR HELP.INSTRUCTED NOT TO DRIVE VEHICLE TILL IT WAS LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC. MECHANIC WHO EVALUATED AND REPAIRED VEHICLE SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN "PITTED WHEEL BEARINGS" IN 30 YEARS OF OPERATION. HE GAVE ME BACK THE FAULTY BEARINGS AND TOLD ME I SHOULD CONTACT YOU AND THE CORPORATE AREA OF HYUNDAI, BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND WARRANTS AN ALERT OR RECALL. THE DRIVER SIDE LOWER BALL JOINT AND BEARINGS HAD TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE REVIEW ASAP, AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE REST OF THE POPULATION. THANK YOU!

EVERY TIME I STOP AND START TO GO AGAIN IN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR IT FEELS LIKE MY CAR IS SLIPPING AND NOT WANTING TO CATCH THE GEAR SEEMS TO ME LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ONE DAY

STEERING WHEEL IS VERY LOSE, WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP OR THE CAR SHAKES AND THE STEERING SHAKES AND FEELS VERY LOSE LIKE ITS GOING TO FALL OFF, EXTREMELY BAD ON HIGH WAYS AND BUMPING ROADS OR SPEED BUMPS

WHILE IN DRIVE AND PARK, BRAKES LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. HAVE REPLACED BULBS 4 TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR. BOTH SEAT BELT LIGHTS CONSTANTLY FLASHES EVEN WHEN BUCKLED UP. AIR BAGS AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT AFTER RESETTING REPEATEDLY. DOME LIGHTS NO LONGER WORK IN AUTOMATIC

IT JERKS TIME TO TIME WE TOOK IT TO A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY CHECKED TRANSMISSION AND TEST CAME BACK FINE. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD AND THE INTERMITTENT JERKING SCARES US. IT HAPPENS WHEN IT HAS DIFFICULTY SHIFTING SOMETIMES. DON'T KNOW WHEN TO EXPECT IT. IT CUT OFF ONE DAY IN CITY STREETS THEN STARTED BACK. ON HIGHWAY IT DOESN'T HAVE AS MANY PROBLEMS , BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN I HAVE TO MANUALLY SHIFT ON HIGHWAY. IT IS A HYBRID SONATA 2011

I WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE JUST CAUGHT FIRE AND THE VEHICLE BURNT DOWN

WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY, MY ENGINE, EPS, BATTERY AND OIL LIGHTS ALL WENT ON AND MY ENGINE STALLED OUT. THIS RESULTED IN A TOW TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP, WHERE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS LIKELY A ROD BEARING FAILURE IN THE ENGINE, WHICH REQUIRES REPLACING THE ENGINE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED ACTIVE HYUNDAI RECALL 132 - ENGINE INSPECTION / REPLACEMENT, WHICH IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT I EXPERIENCED.THIS RECALL IS NOT CURRENTLY ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN, HOWEVER, DESPITE FITTING THE DESCRIPTION AND MODEL YEARS AFFECTED. SHOULDN'T I HAVE BEEN ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO GO CRAZY.
