Hyundai Sonata-2-5l 2000

• Recall 87391 [USA]: If that happens, the vehicle may lose drive power to the wheels, and the front wheel may make contact with the fender or wheel well, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
  Hyundai is recalling 188,282 my 2001-2004 sonata and my 2001-2004 xg300 and xg350 vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, west virginia, wisconsin, and the district of columbia. Road salt applied in these jurisdictions during the winter months may result in progressive, internal corrosion of the front sub-frame on the vehicles, and may result in thinning or perforation of the sub-frame steel. The corrosion is frequently visible and often discovered during inspection or routine maintenance, and owners may also hear noises or notice tire misalignment and steering pull. If these signals are undetected or unheeded, the corrosion may progress and the forward mounting of the lower control arm may detach from the sub-frame.
  dealers will measure the thickness of the front sub-frame and inspect the front sub-frame for corrosion damage and, if necessary, the front sub-frame will be replaced with a new sub-frame that incorporates additional holes in the upper and lower panels. If the front sub-frame does not require replacement, the dealer will add drainage holes to the sub-frame and will treat the sub-frame with rust-proofing material to stop the corrosion process. This procedure will be performed free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during april 2009. Owners may contact the hyundai customer assistance center at 1-800-633-5151.
  hyundai recall no. 089.Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.Safercar.Gov .

• Recall 2741 [USA]: Non-deployment of the srs side impact air bag could increase the risk of injury during a side impact crash.
  On certain passenger vehicles, an intermittent condition that leads to the supplemental restraint system (srs) air bag warning light illumination could result from motion of the side impact air bag wiring harness and side impact air bag wiring harness connector which mount to the adjustable seat cushion assembly. This condition only relates to the side impact air bags and could prevent air bag deployment during a crash where such deployment should occur.
  dealers will more securely fasten the side impact air bag wiring harnesses and connectors to the vehicle's front seat cushion frames. Owner notification began may 28, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.

• Recall 2009123 [Canada]: Structure
  On certain vehicles operated in areas of heavy road salt usage (ontario, quebec, new brunswick, nova scotia, prince edward island, and newfoundland & labrador), road salt can collect in the rear portion of the side members of the subframe and may result in internal corrosion leading to thinning or perforation of the subframe steel. The corrosion may ultimately lead to separation of the lower control arm at the forward mounting point to the subframe. When separation occurs, in most cases, the movement of the arm will cause the axle to pull out of the transaxle and the vehicle will no longer have drive power to the wheels. In extreme cases, the wheel can also rotate off its designed axis and make contact with the fender or the wheel well. Both outcomes could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the front subframe assembly. Should the subframe not require replacement, drainage holes will be added, as well as treatment with rust-proofing material to arrest the corrosion process.

I understand there is an airbag recall on some model cars, i drive a 2000 hyundai sonata gls that has an airbag light activated on the dashboard. I don't know if the airbag is defective, i should not drive it, or what to do, please advise. This airbag lite on the dashboard goes on as soon as i start the engine, and stays on all the time the engine is running, this airbag light does not go off until i turn the engine off.

Steering and stability unstable. Mechanic tells me that the rear sub frame is rusty and cracked. The entire frame was replaced around 2010 because of a recall. When you hit a bump lose traction and becomes unstable. Want to know if the replacement frame has a warranty. Want to keep the car still runs great. 170,000 miles

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 hyundai sonata. While driving 5 mph, the front passenger side wheel detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an auto shop where the failure was diagnosed as a control arm failure and rusted subframe. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 140,000.

"takada recall " transmission don't shift check engine light is on it is suck in 3rd gear next time start car no check engine light car shifts but bangs hard in and out of next gear then check engine light comes on and car is stuck in third gear.Also air bag light is on all time.

While slowing down to make a turn on side road, the lower left control arm pulled completely out of the frame. Inspection after found large hole rusted completely through the frame rail. Inspected right side and frame has same type of rusted and missing frame segments. Thankfully this happened at low speed and not on the interstate where outcome could have been very bad. Doing some research i have found that this appears to have been a known problem with this model for several years beginning with 1999 model. *tr

The fuel tank on 2000 hyundai sonata is cracked and leaking gasoline. There is a strong gas odor in the cabin. The fire department and hazmat team responded. I could have been killed in an explosion if the gas vapors ignited. There is a recall for the previous model year hyundai sonata. The fuel tank can crack and leak gasoline. That is what happened to my 2000 sonata. The car is now at a dealership where they are replacing the subrame because it has a recall for sever rust. They do not want to recall the issue with the rusted, cracked fuel tank. *tr

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. *tr

Air bag light came on and stayed on. Dealer (taylor hyundai) denied that there was an air bag recall on this model. *tr

While driving my 2000 hyundai sonata on good road and approaching a traffic light in the left through-lane of a multilane street, i made a quick stop (not and emergency stop) when the light turned yellow. The road was in good condition and dry, and the outside temperature was about about 80 degrees f. Upon making this stop the car pulled unusually sharply to the right - if there had been a car in the right lane, i would have hit it. After this stop, the front tire(s) made unusual squeeling noises upon turning, and the steering felt unusual and shakey. I drove the car directly (about a mile) to the place we were visiting in las vegas and the next morning took the car directly to a hyundai dealer. Upon inspection the dealer found that the front suspension frame crossmember (front subframe) had a corrosion hole through the front subbframe and the front subframe had failed, causing the right front (passenger) tire to move out of position and sitting at an angle. The dealer's advice was that this was a safety problem, and it could further fail and result in loss of steering control. They advised that i do not drive the car until this this front subframe was replaced. This is a replaceable piece - which was ordered, and replacement planned. The car was left with the hyundai dealer, and not driven further. This situation is essentially identical to nhtsa reference number 13v354000 for the real suspension for some hyundai vehicles that led to hyundai recall campaign 113 approved in sept 2013. Hyundai records show this car was purchased in illinois (one of the approved 113-recall states) and it was driven there for about 4 years or so. I am the second owner. Hyundai has issued technical service bulletin campaign number 12-01-029 dated october 2012 (supersedes bulletin 09-01-020-2) which addresses this front subframe problem, but, i am told, it is not an approved recall. *tr
