Consumer Description

PURCHASED 2011 SONATA GLS NEW N JULY 2010. WITH 40,000 MILES ON THE CAR, NOW IT MAKES STRANGE BANGING, METAL ON METAL, SOMETHING LOOSE SOUND FROM FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR WHEN BRAKING. THIS SOUND IS MUCH LOUDER WHEN MAKING HARD LEFT TURN, LIKE GETTING OUT OF A SHOPPING CENTER TO BUSY ROAD TO TAKE A LEFT TURN. WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY. I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS KIND OF ISSUE ONLY AFTER 3 YEARS AND AROUND 40,000 MILES. *TR
