6-22-17 my daughter was return to work in her 2003 Hyundai Sonata, as she was leaving an adjacent parking lot to where she parked, the right front wheel popped loudly, the car lost power she stopped the vehicle going straight at a relative low speed. The car was inoperable so I had it towed to my house. 6-24-17 I begin to inspect what happened, I jacked the rt frt end off the ground and blocked it up. I found the lower control arm was somewhat loose. It was broken loose from the rt side subframe. I came in the house and researched the internet and found this was a problem with Sonata's from 1999-2004 campaign number 09V12400, I contacted Hyundai customer service 6-24-17 around 12:30pm. I gave the car info to the lady and she said only an A-C recall was available for the car. I asked about the recall and gave the number, she said not for my car and that was all they could offer. When the control arm broke loose from subframe it caused the axle to pull out of the differential and that was why it lost power. I also found that the subframe is almost rusted through and weak.

Heard about recall and investigated. Car was inspected for recall in 2010 passed then at dealer in marlton, NJ. Waiting for call back from different dealer to find out the procedure to file a claim. Dealers in SE pa are not customer oriented so making complaint here to document incident.

I have a 2003 Hyundai Sonata. I have had nothing but trouble with this vehicle. I purchased 2 sets of new tires in the past 4 years and have had roughly 15 flat tires. I also most recently almost killed myself and my 3 kids w/ having the tire rod almost crack. I had a bill of $385 to have just that one part to be fixed. I have been on hold for over an hour now for the recall number I received in the mail. I am a single parent and need to be reimbursed for my troubles as this was directly related to the recall letter I just received. Please contact me.
When coming to a stop, the consumer heard a rumbling noise. The vehicle vibrated soon after that. Dealership was unable to resolve the problem. The steering wheel would shake along with the vehicle when sitting at idle and more when the A/C was on. The vehicle also pulled to the right.
