Hyundai Sonata-2-5l 2001

• Recall 87392 [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 2742 [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.
  customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

• 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.

Recently i had a situation where i was driving on county road way and my car suddenly collapsed and came to an immediate stop. To say the least, i was a little shook up. I got out the car and noticed that the driver side wheel had lodged against the wheel well. The car would go into gear but it was making a knocking noise so i turned it off. A driver of a green sedan car was behind me and i was trying to wave her around me but she stopped and assisted me into getting my car off the street by pushing my car while it was in neutral. I am only telling you this because there was nothing wrong with my car before this incident. I was told by hyundai thompson that my car would not start after it was towed there. I went there the next day and the car did start but it would not go into gear which was a surprise to me. I was told that they may have to check the transmission and talk to you to see if that damage would be cover under the recall for replacing the engine cradle. After hyundai thompson repaired my car i had to take it back for a roaring noise caused by the wheel bearing in the wheel that jammed against the wheel well when the axle snapped off the subframe. They also could not preform a wheel alignment. I also took it for a safety inspection and it failed due to some items i feel are related to the repair of replacing the subframe like the wheel bearing, the front end alignment, both front upper control arms and the outer tie rods missing cotter keys. I want to know my rights concerning this recall and i also want my car in the driving condition before this incident occurred. Case # 15551136 with hyundai.

I was driving down my street when the drivers cv axle popped out of the transmission. I got the vehicle towed home and removed the wheel to find that the subframe was corroded completely into. I know there are recalls pertaining to this exact issue on this type of car

Control arm completely separated/ broke from the subframe. Called hyundai as mechanic said this should have been included under a recall that came out several years ago for "because of a potential corrosion risk involving the front sub-frame...Corrosion may progress and the forward mounting of the lower control arm may detach from the sub-frame. If that happens, the vehicle may lose driver power to the wheels. The front wheel may make contact with the fender or wheel well." "separation of the forward mounting of the lower control arm may increase the risk of a crash" this is exactly what happened to my 17 year old daughter yesterday and fortunately she did not crash as she was not in a populated area, but it could have been much worse. Why is this particular 2001 hyundai sonata not covered under this recall. It needs to be covered and covered asap. Please assist. Vehicle is currently at columbia family auto care in jessup md 301-362-0777

He contacted an attorney for class action law suit to be started d/t safety issues to prevent death to others & repair frame to rob carey at rob.Carey @att.Net & [email protected]. From 2006- until 2009 during routine oil changes, i asked kerry hyundai in alexandria, ky to check my frame d/t visual rust & about recall. Hyundai finally admitted after multiple complaints during routine maintenance in a letter to me on 6/24/09 that there was a recall on 4/16/09 and my frame to be replaced. 8/15/16 i lost control of my 2001 sonata, hyundai while driving on expressway during rush hour d/t major corrosive issues causing right rear tire rod to break.

Please do something before someone is killed. Life is a precious gift and no monetary amount can replacement it.

Bad fuel vapor smell in cabin, no check eng light on. Checked eng light at auto zone anyway, code said vapor valve going to canister/dump after warm up. Hyundai by phone said canister needed replaced($400+). I live on disability ssi, too expensive. Took to small garage, after lifting, bottom of gas tank was wet with gas(by the exhaust). One guy went to access point for fuel tank for replacing fuel pump. A 6 inch rubber hose connecting the line out of the fuel tank connecting to metal rail fuel line bent at over 90 degrees, had a hole at the weakest point, in the inside bend. I am not the first owner, but [xxx], could only drive it after midnight in hot summer. Code explained car after warm up opens this valve to dump vapor build up in canister. Sounds right, code and everything, after i finally had them check for codes without check engine light not coming on. Such a cheap cost of a rubber hose could have easily been a braded flexible metal connection. [xxx], i'm lucky. I gave hyundai dealership repair guy over the phone the engine code.

My son was in an accident in which someone pulled out of a side road into his path of travel. The front of the hyundai from just past the grill on driver's side to entire passenger side hit the front driver wheel forward on the other car. Neither the steering wheel nor the passenger side airbag deployed in my hyundai. He hit with such force the steering wheel was bowed and steering column was broken along with the bottom of the dash where his knees hit.
