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.
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.
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.

I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AFTER DRIVING ONLY 10MPH, MY ENGINE CRADLE DROPPED DOWN THERE FOR SMASHING THROUGH MY FRONT AXEL, AND TURNING IN BOTH OF MY FRONT WHEELS. NOT REALIZING WHAT HAPPENED I CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO A REPAIR SHOP. BOTH TIRES POPPED. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND PAID AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT TO GET A TOW TO A REPAIR SHOP. I WAS WITHOUT A CAR FOR 2 WEEKS WHILE THEY REPLIED MY VEHICLE WHICH COST ME ALMOST $1,300. MY INSURE COMPANY WOULD NOT TOTAL OUT MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO SALT CORROSION AND RUST (WARE AND TEAR). DID I MENTION I WAS ON VACATION WHEN THIS HAPPENED? $$$. NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS TROUBLE SHOOTING SOMEHOW (151,000 MILES). IT'S HAVING TROUBLE SWITCHING GEARS AND IT HITS PRETTY HARD WHEN IT FINALLY DOES. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON, SOMETIMES THIS HELPS SOMETIMES IT DOES. MY RPM SHOT UP TO 4 OR 5 WHICH BURNS GAS LIKE CRAZY. THE RUST ON THE REAR WHEEL WELLS AND BOTTOM IS UNFIXIBLE. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES REALLY BAD AT SPEEDS 60+. MY REAR STRUTS ARE RUSTED AND NEED REPLACED. *TR

WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STAND STILL,( STOP SIGN, STOP LIGHT, ETC. ) THE CAR FREQUENTLY HESITATES BEFORE IT STARTS MOVING, WHICH MAKES IT DANGEROUS NOT KNOWING IF YOU ARE GOING GET ACROSS A STREET BEFORE TRAFFIC GETS TO YOU. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN MANY TIMES TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY HAVE FAILED TO FIND THE PROBLEM. BUT THEY HAVE DONE MANY EXPENSIVE REPAIRS THAT HAD NO EFFECT ON THE HESITATION. I SEE FROM OTHER BULLETINS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

RE- 2001 HYUNDAI SONATA I WAS ON WAY TO WORK GOING 93 NORTH TOWARDS BOSTON 1 EXIT AWAY FROM WORK WHEN I WENT OVER 3 SMALL BUMPS ON HIGHWAY NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY, YET MY TIRES FELT AS IF THEY WERE NOT STABLE I WAS ONLY GOING 60 SLOWED DOWN TO 30 TOOK OFF RAMP 1 BLOCK AWAY FROM WORK, THEN COMPLETELY STOPPED AT A CROSS STREET INTERSECTION TO TAKE A RIGHT. I PROCEEDED THEN I FLEW FORWARD IN MY CAR. MY CAR STOPPED SHORT FOR A SECOND I THOUGHT I HIT MY SHIFTER IN NEUTRAL OR REVERSE, THAT WAS NOT THE CASE, I WAS IN DRIVE. PUT CAR IN PARK IT MADE A SEARING UNGODLY SOUND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I GOT OUT OF MY CAR JUST AS TWO MEN CAME RUNNING OVER TO HELP ME. WE NOTICED THE TIRE COMPLETELY AGAINST INSIDE WHEEL FRAME. I JUST HAD A RIM REPLACED NOT EVEN 1 MONTH AGO AND NEW BRAKES AND TIRES YET I WASN'T SURE WHAT THIS TIRE LIKE THAT MEANT. I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY I SEEM TO BE HAVING TO REPLACE SO MANY THINGS, ONE RIGHT AFTER ANOTHER, HOWEVER I WAS TOLD AFTER TOWING CAR TO FIRESTONE THAT MY WHOLE CAR UNDERCARRIAGE FRAME SUBFRAME IS COMPLETELY ROTTED AND THAT THE AXLE IS SNAPPED AND MAY EVEN HAVE DAMAGED TRANSMISSION I CALLED HYUNDAI TO PUT A COMPLAINT IN. THEY TOLD ME I HAVE A RECALL ON MY CAR WHEN THEY LOOKED UP MY CAR BY THE VIN YET I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THEY SEEMED QUITE CARING AND EMPATHIC TO MY SITUATION, YET THE LAST QUESTION THEY ASKED ME, BLEW ME AWAY. CHRISTINE THE OPERATOR FROM HYUNDAI ASKED ME ONE MORE QUESTION MS.__ WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO GET OUT OF THIS? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHAT A QUESTION, I ASKED IF I SHOULD GET A LAWYER, AND WAS IT AN VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY RECALL SHE SAID THAT HYUNDAI PUT THIS RECALL INTO EFFECTS AFTER THE COMPANY REALIZED AND FOUND THAT THEY MAY HAVE A DEFECTIVE CORROSIVE SITUATION, YET ON THE WEB THEY WERE OBVIOUSLY INVESTIGATED FIRST THEN DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT. SHE SAID RECALLS STARTED IN JULY OF 09 AND ARE STILL BEING ISSUED TO DATE, SHE SAID SHE'D MAIL ME A PACKET TO FILL OUT AND SEND BACK -OH JOY!! CANT WAIT. *TR

I GOT MY CAR IN 2002 IT IS A 2001 SONOTA. WHEN YOU PUSH THE GAS TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC THIS CAR DOESN'T WANT TO GO! I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL CAR ACCIDENTS WHEN I TELL THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE PROBLEM THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG! ALSO IF YOU LOOK AT THE COMPLAINTS YOU WILL SEE THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON THAT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM IN ITS SELF. *NM
Power train, Dec 22, 2005
THE ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON CAUSING A DOWN SHIFTING AFTER A BANGING IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. IT WAS A SENSOR THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RUNNING GEAR. WITHOUT IT THE CAR DOES NOT DRIVE. THAT IS PART OF THE RUNNING GEAR. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY 231.00. IF I CAN NOT DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE RUNNING GEAR. *JB

WE PURCHASED A 2001 SONATA. WE HAD IT THREE WEEKS AND THE COOLANT SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOW,JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT(50000.) WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE SENSORS IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS CRAZY. THIS CAR GIVES US MORE TROUBLE THAN OUR OTHER CARS THAT HAVE DOUBLE THE MILES. I AM SURE THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD SUCH PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE THAT IS WHY YOU RAISED THE MILEAGE ALLOWANCE ON THE NEWER ONES. I WILL NEVER BUY ONE OF THESE CARS AGAIN!*AK

MY SANTA FE LX-AWD REAR DIFFERENTIAL WHICH ALSO COULD BE DEFINED AS REAR AXLE WAS TOTALLY FAILED AND ALL THE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID IS LEAKING AND THE WHOLE THING NEED TO BE REPLACE. MY CAR IS 87K MILE WHILE HYUNDAI SERVICES DEALER STATED THAT THIS PART IS COVERED UNDER THE 5/60K BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. I STILL BELIEVED THAT THIS PART SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY; WHICH IT IS 10/100K MILES. WHEN I GO INTO MOST WEBSITES TO SHOP FOR THIS PART THEY MOSTLY RELATED TO THE POWER TRAIN PARTS. THE DEALER EXPECTED ME TO PAY NEARLY $2400 FOR JUST THIS PART TO BE FIX. THIS IS NOT INCLUDED LABOR YET. THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS PART AND OF COURSE NOT TO MENTION ABOUT LABOR....I SERIOUSLY FEEL THAT THIS PART SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN 10/100K WARRANTY INSTEAD OF 6/60K WARRANTY. SINCE THIS IS PART OF A TRANSMISSION TURNING THE TRANSAXLE TO THE REAR BECAUSE OF MY CAR IS AWD! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY BUT THE PART IS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE FOR ANYONE TO AFFORD TO PAY ANOTHER $3K TO FIX IT. I FEEL TO POINT THAT I RATHER SAVE MY $3K RIGHT NOW AND BUY A USE ACCORD/CAMRY TO DRIVE. I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT HERE IS TO ASK NHTSA TO HELP ME VERIFY THE CONDITION OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL/REAR AXLE ON MY 2001 HYUNDAI SANTA FE LX AWD TO SEE IF THE PART SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER BUMPER TO BUMPER OR UNDER POWER TRAIN. AS YOU CAN SEE YOUR PART SELECTION IS ALSO STATED POWER TRAIN: REAR DIFFERENTIAL UNIT. I WAS HOPING FOR A RECALL THEN THAT WOULD BE GREAT OR CHECK AT THE PRICE POINT OF THE PART. IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE ($2400) JUST THIS PART ALONE. *NM

THE CONSUMER WAS GOING ABOUT 25 MPH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE JUST DIED. THE VEHICLE JERKED TO A STOP, THEN LATER DROVE NORMALLY. LATER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF, AND IT BEGAN TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHO WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM, BUT THE CONSUMER $135.00 FOR CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK ON 8/24/04, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY MADE A LOUD GRINDING METAL SOUND, THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED IT WAS THE TRANS AXLE. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THEY WERE GUESSING JUST TO GET HER OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP. *AK *SC *JB

ON APRIL 28, 2001 I AND THREE OTHER PASSENGERS WERE RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A LONG GRADE AT 35 TO 40 MILES PER HOUR. TOWARD THE BOTTOM OF THE GRADE THE ROAD CURVES TO THE RIGHT AND AT THE BOTTOM THERE IS A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. WHEN I CAME AROUND THE CURVE I SAW THAT THE LIGHT WAS GREEN AND PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE IN ORDER TO GET UP THE APPROACHING UPGRADE. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE THE ENGINE REVVED VERY HIGH BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN. TANSMISSION HAD SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL ALTHOUGH THE SHIFTER STILL INDICATED THAT I WAS IN DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT OUT OF NEUTRAL. I HAD TO MANUALLY SHIFT INTO LOW GEAR. TWO DAYS LATER I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND, AFTER THREE DAYS, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND THAT THEY WOULD MAKE NO REPAIRS. ON FRIDAY MAY 4, 2001 I WAS CONTACTED BY THE HYUNDAI REGIONAL SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHO TRIED TO CONVINCE ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THE MATTER WITH MY VEHICLE. HE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE VEHICLES "ADAPTIVE LEARNING" FEATURE THAT CAUSED THE SHIFT AND THAT WHAT I EXPERIENCED WAS PERFECTLY NORMAL. I FIND IT VERY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE NEW CAR I OWN WAS DESIGNED TO SHIFT AND STAY IN NEUTRAL WHEN IT IS IN A SITUATION WHERE ACCELERATION IS NECESSARY. BOTH THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTUER CONTINUE TO INSIST THAT THERE IS NOTHING THE MATTER WITH THE VEHICLE AND REFUSE TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS. ALSO, ONE WEEK BEFORE THE INCIDENT , MY WIFE AND I WERE ON THE SAME ROAD AND THE VEHICLE DID NEARLY THE SAME THING. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THAT AFTER ABOUT A SECOND OR TWO OF STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL TRANSMISSION SHIFTED ITSELF BACK FROM NEUTRAL INTO DRIVE. PLEASE HELP.*AK
