2011 HYUNDAI SONATA Suspension Problems

I started to get engine knocking noises about 6 months after the purchase of the used car. This knocking noise began to increase in frequency as I pressed my foot on the accelerator and the car would not accelerate when I pressed my foot on the gas pedal. Then the car would shut down in the middle of traffic. After waiting about 30 -45 mins, I would try to start the car again and would start and initially run as long as I drove less than 20 miles/hour the knocking noise level would decrease but if I went above 15 - 20 mph the car would shut down. The check engine light and engine oil light would come on. So I would check the engine oil level oil using the dip stick and it showed oil levels were ok. On October 10 2023 while driving to Walmart the engine turned...

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving at approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle started swerving in the lane to the right and the left. The contact heard an abnormal thumping noise from underneath the floorboard. The contact stated that the power steering and brakes functioned as needed. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the rear cross member needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V354000 (Suspension). The failure mileage was approximately 162,000.

AIR CONDITIONING DRAIN DRIPS ONTO FRONT SUB FRAME, WHICH HOLDS THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. IT ALSO HOLDS THE SUSPENSION BOLTS. DRIPPING FROM AIR CONDITIONING DRAIN IS CAUSING SUB FRAME TO RUST, ROT OUT AND WEAKEN PREMATURELY. THIS WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION TO DROP OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE SUB FRAME COLLAPSES.

The contact's daughter owns a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would bounce up and down without warning. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer where she was informed that her vehicle was not covered under warranty or recall. The contact then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with a fractured front coil spring. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V629000 (Suspension). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided the contact with the same information as the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

While I was driving in the access road I heard a pop and my car started making. A weird noise just for me to get out my car and my tire wasn’t straight it was dislocated I bought the car in april

The rear crossmember bolt snapped off on the passenger side with no warning. It caused the rear passenger complete wheel assembly to breakaway and fold backwards.

Car is very low I found a piece of my spring to my car in the street

CALLED FOR HELP.INSTRUCTED NOT TO DRIVE VEHICLE TILL IT WAS LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC. MECHANIC WHO EVALUATED AND REPAIRED VEHICLE SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN "PITTED WHEEL BEARINGS" IN 30 YEARS OF OPERATION. HE GAVE ME BACK THE FAULTY BEARINGS AND TOLD ME I SHOULD CONTACT YOU AND THE CORPORATE AREA OF HYUNDAI, BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND WARRANTS AN ALERT OR RECALL. THE DRIVER SIDE LOWER BALL JOINT AND BEARINGS HAD TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE REVIEW ASAP, AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE REST OF THE POPULATION. THANK YOU!

HYUNDAI SONATA 2011 WHEN DRIVING THROUGH BUMPS OR A SMOOTH SERVICE IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR IS GOING TO FALL APART. SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IT HAS A CLUNKING AND RATTLING SOUNDS UNDERNEATH AND A FEW REPLACEMENTS HAS BEEN DONE BUT IT STILL FEELS AS IF ITS LOOSE UNDERNEATH. THE CAR HAS GONE THROUGH MANY RECALLS PLUS WAS OUT OF SERVICE FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS FOR ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR IS NOT ALIGNED AS IT SHOULD. THE BEST PART IS WHILE DRIVING THE ENTIRE INNER COVER OF THE WHEEL ON THE DRIVER SIDE FELL OFF, AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHILE HAVING MY CHILD IN THE CAR. ENGINE WAS RECENTLY REPLACED. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR HAS NO TYPE OF ACELLATOR PICK UP. WHEN TURNING LEFT IT SOUNDS LIKE A CRANKING NOISE "CLUCK, CLUCK, CLUCK" ITS HORRIBLE. I HAVE THIS CAR IN AND OUT OF...

MAKING A SQUILLING NOISE AS I'M DRIVING AND THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE DRIVER FRONT TIRE. FRONT END (AXEL'S) SOUNDS LIKE IT'S LOOSE

WHEN I'M TURNING I HEAR POPPING NOISES. AND AS I'M DRIVING I HEAR A SQUILLING NOISES FROM THE FRONT

SINCE,I HAVE OWNED THE CAR I HAVE,NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL FEELING LOOSE. OVER,THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS I HAVE EXPERIENCED UNCONTROLLABLE RATTLING AND INCREASED SHAKING. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO BE LOOKED AT AND 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS TOLD ME MY STEERING RACK WAS ABOUT TO GO. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ON MY MAKE AND MODEL, IT IS DETERMINED THAT SOME 2011 SONATAS MADE BETWEEN CERTAIN DATES HAD FAULTY STEERING RACKS FROM THE START. THE CAR IS ALMOST UNDRIVEABLE AND HYUNDAI CONTINUES TO IGNORE THIS PROBLEM WHEN IT SHOULD GO INTO RECALL. THERE ARE OVER 1100 COMPLAINTS TO THE SAME ISSUE.

WHEN BACKING UP AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL A KNOCKING OCCURS. ALSO WHEN MOVING AT A SLOW SPEED AND TURNING THE WHEELS THE KNOCKING OCCURS.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON THE US 101 NORTHBOUND INTO SAN FRANCISCO MY 2011 SONATA SUDDENLY BEGAN VEERING OUT OF ITS LANE AND WAS HARD TO STEER OR CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND STEER JUST ENOUGH TO GET TO THE RIGHT HIGHWAY SHOULDER WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING AS THERE WERE NO CARS IMMEDIATELY TO MY RIGHT. I WAS STUCK ON A DANGEROUS PART OF THE HIGHWAY SHOULDER FOR AN HOUR WAITING TO BE TOWED, WITH THE VEHICLE SEEMING DANGEROUS TO DRIVE TO A SAFER SPOT. WHILE WAITING FOR A TOW ON THE HIGHWAY SHOULDER I WAS ABLE TO LOOK AT THE REAR-LEFT WHEEL WHICH WAS INCLINED INTO THE WHEEL-WELL AT ABOUT 30 DEGREES ON THE TOP SIDE. AFTER GETTING TOWED OFF THE HIGHWAY THE TOW-TRUCK DRIVER WAS ABLE TO LOOK UNDER THE CAR AND NOTICED THAT THE UPPER REAR CONTROL ARM OF THE BACK LEFT WHEEL HAD BROKEN....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN A CLICKING AND POPPING NOISE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER TAYLOR HYUNDAI (3233 WASHINGTON RD, AUGUSTA GA) WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. *BF*JB

PASSENGER SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ON SUSPENSION ENGINE MAKING A RATTLING NOISE WHILE DRIVING

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN TURNERSVILLE NJ THEY CLAIMED THEY BUT A "NEW" ENGINE AS A REPLACEMENT OF MY RECALL BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND SO THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR 3 MONTHS THEN THEY CALLED ME ON MEMORIAL WEEKEND TO PICK UP MY CAR TWO DAYS AFTER I PICKED UP MY CAR THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT BACK ON SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK THEN SERVICE DEPARTMENT WANTED TO CHARGE ME TO FIX IT WHICH I REFUSED TOO. NOW LAST MONTH I GET ANOTHER RECALL FOR MY HYUNDAI 2011 SONATA WHAT IT'S GOING ON MY ENGINE LIGHT STILL GOES ON AND TO BE HONEST I'M SO DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS CAR THAT I DON'T EVEN DRIVE EVEN THOUGH I'M MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT STILL. I HATE MY CAR AND HYUNDAI CARS

THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR LIGHT BULBS KEEP ON GOING OUT. HAVE CHANGED THEM ABOUT TEN TIMES IN ONE YEAR! I CANNOT CHANGE THEM ANYMORE AS THE PLASTIC CASING HAS MORPHED BY THE HEAT OF THE FUSE CONNECTOR TO THE BULB! THERE ARE TWO BULBS ROLLING IN THE CASING AS THEY CAME OFF WHEN TRYING TO EXTRACT AND REPLACE. ALSO I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY LIGHTS ILLUMINATE ON MY DASHBOARD, EVEN WHEN MY ENGINE WAS KNOCKING DUE TO SHAVINGS IN ENGINE (THAT WAS REPLACED, THANK YOU). LASTLY, HAD TO REPLACE MY SHOCKS AND STRUTS THIS YEAR AND WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC AT BIG O TIRE THAT THEY CONTACTED HYUNDAI DIRECTLY AS THEY RAN INTO AN ISSUE WITH REPLACING WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECT STRUTS. THEY WERE TOLD THIS PARTICULAR CAR WITH ASSOCIATED VIN HAS THE 'GOOFY' STRUTS!!! I'M SORRY BUT I DIDN'T PAY A GOOFY PRICE FOR THE CAR!

I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 SONATA AT A SLOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT WHEN I HEARD THE SOUND OF METAL HITTING THE GROUND UNDERNEATH MY VEHICLE. I WALKED OUT TO FIND A FRACTURED FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SPRING COIL WHICH HAD COMPLETELY SNAPPED OFF. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE BUSY INTERSTATE WHICH IS WHERE I WAS HEADED. I REALIZE MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2011 SONATA IN "SALT BELT STATES". I AM IN WISCONSIN. THIS DEFECT IS REFERENCED UNDER HYUNDAI RECALL 133, THOUGH I, LIKE MANY OTHERS, HAVE A VIN THAT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, DESPITE THE NUMEROUS INCIDENTS OF THIS HAPPENING WITH VEHICLES OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL VIN RANGE. CLEARLY THESE ARE NOT ISOLATED DEFECTS. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT COULD EASILY PUNCTURE A TIRE AND RESULT IN DEATH IF IT OCCURS AT A HIGH SPEED....

THE FRONT DRIVER'S SUSPENSION SPRING BROKE OFF AT LOW SPEED, BUCKLING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE BECAME DISABLED AS THE BODY CAME AND REMAINED IN CONTACT WITH THE WHEEL. IT COULD HAVE LED TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE TIRE COULD HAVE BEEN PUNCTURED IF IT WAS TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED. THERE IS A RELEVANT RECALL: 15V629000 (ON 2011 ELANTRAS AND SONATAS, FRONT SUSPENSION SPRINGS COULD CORRODE AND SNAP IN COLD REGIONS), BUT HYUNDAI SAID THAT IT DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT MANY VIN#S MIGHT HAVE BEEN MISSED IN THIS RECALL NOTICE. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, THAT RECALL# ONLY INSTALLS TUBING AROUND THE SPRINGS SO THAT IN THE CASE OF SPRING FAILURE(SNAPPING), THE BODY WILL NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH THE WHEELS OR PUNCTURE TIRES. THAT IS, THE RECALL WORK STILL ALLOWS THE SPRINGS TO SNAP. BUT, IS THIS CORRECTIVE ACTION SUFFICIENT FOR A SAFETY...

DRIVER SIDE COIL SPRING SNAPPED WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. THE PIECE REMAINED IN THE FRONT END AND FELL OUT DOWN THE ROAD, WOULD HAVE SHREDDED MY TIRE IF I OR ANYONE ELSE RAN IT OVER. THIS PART HAS BEEN RECALLED IN MY MODEL VEHICLE BUT ONLY FROM A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURING PLANT.

FRONT DRIVERS SIDE COIL SPRING BROKEN. I WAS NOTIFIED AT FIRST SERVICE AFTER HAVING PURCHASED USED VEHICLE. THE COIL SPRING APPEARS TO HAVE CORRODE FASTER THAN NORMAL WHICH CAUSED COIL SPRING TO BREAK. THIS VIN IS NOT LISTED ON THE CURRENT COIL SPRING RECALL.

HAD CAR ALIGNED BY DEALER AND OUTSIDE REPAIR SHOP. VEHICLE PULLS TO RIGHT AND LEFT. ALL OVER THE ROAD

HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND BRAKES

2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BROKEN DRIVERS SIDE STRUT SPRING. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE, BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. *JS

THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

I WAS DRIVING AT LOW SPEED 20-25MPH ON A CITY STREET WHEN I HEARD SOME ODD NOISE COMING FROM MY PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL. I WENT OVER A LITTLE BUMP AND THERE WAS A LOUD CLINK OF SOMETHING BRAKING OFF AND HITTING THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. I FOUND MY CAR TO BE SLANTED TOWARD THE PASSENGER SIDE. I LOOKED ON THE STREET AND FOUND THE BOTTOM RING OF THE SUSPENSION COIL. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART IN THE "SALT BELT STATES" SO I CALLED HYUNDAI. HYUNDAI TOLD ME MY CAR WASN'T UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS MADE AT A DIFFERENT FACTORY. IT'S VERY CONCERNING TO ME THE NUMBER OF OTHERS WHO HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME SITUATION AS MINE. THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS HARM TO MYSELF, PASSENGERS AND ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD...

TAKATA RECALL FOR SUSPENSION FEEL LIKE WE ARE BOUNCING UP IN DOWN OR THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO FALL APART. I NOTICE THE LIGHT ON FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THE SEAT BELT KEEP GETTING STUCK OR SOMETIME WANT LOCK. THIS IS CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE WE TAKE ROAD TRIPS AND HAVE TO DRIVE A LONG DISTANCE TO GET TO WORK MYSELF AND HUSBAND WOULD LIKE TO FEEL SAFE. I REALLY FEEL THAT THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS AND SIDE AIR BAGS ARE DISABLED AND THE SUSPENSION IS A RISK FOR MANY PEOPLE LIVES. I SUBJECT YOU GET THESE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP ASAP BEFORE SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPEN. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT EACH SHOP HAVE AN EXPERIENCE MECHANIC LAST MECHANIC WE HAD FOR A RECALL WE HAD TO COME BACK SEVERAL TIME AND THE VEHICLE STILL RUN LIKE CRAP. MAYBE YOU SHOULD REFUND PEOPLE THE REMAINDER OF THERE...

A PIECE OF ONE OF MY COILS SPRINGS BROKE OFF AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. ACCORDING TO HYUNDAI, MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF CAMPAIGN 133. I LIVE IN MASSACHUSETTS. THEY ARE INSISTING THAT I GO TO A DEALER TO HAVE IT INSPECTED. THE CAR IS ALREADY REPAIRED BY MY MECHANIC. MASSACHUSETTS HAS A RIGHT TO REPAIR LAW. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2015.

ELECTRIC FAILURE AT FIRST, ALWAYS STUCK ON ROAD. ENGINE WAS REPLACED ON RECALL, CLUNKING SOUND UNDERNEATH, STRUTS REPLACED AND HAD TO PAY, THAT DID NOT FIX PROBLEM, THEN THEY REPLACED COUPLING IN STEERING WHEEL, NOISE STILL HAPPENING WITH CLUNKING SOUND, WHICH ALSO IS WEARING OUT TIRES IN FRONT THST WERE REPLACED 3 X. DEALER DID NOT FIX PROBLEM, THEY DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS., CLUNKING IS WHILE DRIVING OVER A LITTLE BUMP OR WHILE STEERING CAR AND TURNING.

I LIVE IN MINNESOTA AND FOR QUITE SOME TIME I WAS HEARING AN INTERMITTENT RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT OF MY WHEEL WELL WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I FINALLY TOOK IT IN I WAS TOLD THE COIL SPRING WAS BROKEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I UNDERSTAND THAT OTHER 2011 SONATA'S HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD THE VEHICLES RECALLED DUE TO CORROSION OF THE COILS CAUSING THEM TO BREAK. I BELIEVE THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO OTHER 2011 SONATA'S

FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE AND PUNCTURED TIRE. I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY ON TO THE MAIN ROAD WHEN THE SPRING BROKE AND CONTACTED THE TIRE MAKING A HORRENDOUS GRINDING NOISE THE CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER AND I HAD TO STOP IN THE STREET. MY CAR WAS AFFECTED BY A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND WAS SEEN BY A DEALER ON MARCH 14, 2016 FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER :15V-629. IT SEEMS THE RECALL WASN'T ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE COIL SPRING FROM FRACTURING A PUNCTURING MY TIRE. I AM GLAD THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE I WAS ON INTERSTATE AT 75MPH.

ON 10/24/2017, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP REGARDING SOME RECALL ISSUES, AMONGST WHICH WAS THE ISSUE OF THE CAR MAKING CLICKING NOISE AS THE CAR TURNS. AFTER THE CAR WAS DELIVERED TO ME, AND DRIVING IT, I NOTICED THAT THE ISSUE WAS UNRESOLVED. I MADE THIS KNOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THEM. I DID REPORT THIS TO HYUNDAI USA. IT'S BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS NOW,BUT HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM REGARDING THE COMPLAINTS. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF OTHER RECALL ISSUES SINCE THEN, BUT NOT SURE HOW TO GO ABOUT THEM, AS THE FIRST ISSUE REMAINS UNRESOLVED.

2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FRONT COIL SPRINGS SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE DRIVER PULLED OVER, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE THEN CAUGHT FIRE. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE ITEM LOST IN THE FIRE AND EMOTIONAL STRESS. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED AT A LOW SPEED, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD. UPON INSPECTION FROM AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE OF A LEAF SPRING FRACTURE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110,000.
