This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
When driving to work the wheel start to pull. When I got to work I took a look at the frame there was a 2 inch crack in one side and a 1/4 inch by 20 inch crack in the other side. When I touch it the frame was rotten.
I was approaching a red light and when I pressed my brakes my driving axle separated from my front driver's side tire. After that happened a mechanic lifted my car up and we saw that the frame was almost completely covered with rust. I called the customer service number for the company that makes the vehicle where I was informed that the vehicle frame is under recall and is to be replaced. Once the vehicle was taken to the car dealership, the service department informed me that the bolts had seized to the frame because of the rust and the only way to replace the frame would be to cut the bolts off. By doing so other parts would have to be replaced resulting in fees coming to a total of $3500, which is more than the value of the car. Because the frame was under recall, I was under the assumption that all damage to the car resulting from the recalled frame would be covered but the dealership refuses to cover the parts and labor resulting from the rusty frame.
Right front wheel became detached and car skidded to a halt on busy road. The same thing happened 8 weeks ago to the left front wheel. I have since seen on the internet that this is a known issue with this make/model of Hyundai.
Right front wheel bearing has had to be replace 2 times in under 110K miles! first time at approximately 85K miles and now at 108K. A period of less that 8 months has passed since having the bearing replaced the first time. Now, since its been more than 12K miles since the replacement - I am stuck with the repair bill! shouldnt a wheel bearing last a little longer than 23K miles"!"!
