| This problem was discovered oct 26, 2012. my son noted some loss of control after hitting a road bump. i inspected the car and noted that the rear diver-side wheel was at a weird angle. the car was moved to my local repair shop on nov 1st. they informed me that there was subframe corrosion effecting the rear control arm and making the car unsafe to drive. he advised me to have my hyundai dealership look at it. i called garvey hyundai, of queensbury, ny, where i purchased this vehicle. i spoke to the service manager and arranged to have the vehicle towed from my shop to garvey. he informs me that there has not been any prior problems with subframe corrosion and this model year and no recalls. he tells me that it will cost between $1350 and $2400 to repair and although hyundai is not responsible they offered me $500 toward the repair work. i feel that this should not be an issue with a vehicle that is only a 2006 and that the repair should be covered in full by hyundai. the car has spent winters in a garage when not driven. i have had multi issues with this vehicle, including needing to have the engine replaced (while still under warranty) i see that there has been subframe corrosion issues with prior years. *tr | |||

| This complaint applies to a 2007 hyundai sonata limited (no option for 2007 was available in drop down menu) (issue 1) at or around the initial few days after taking delivery i began to notice abrupt vibration and shaking coming from the steering wheel; substantial enough to feel in the seat. vehicle was taken back to dealership on 3 separate occasions to remedy the problem but they reported that they were unable to duplicate the problem and reported the vehicle to be in manufacturer specification. nonetheless, dealer attempted wheel balance and radial force balance as a good will gesture. problem is now more articulated and the issue remains unresolved. (issue 2) engine emits a rattle noise similar to lifter clatter upon start and continues throughout operation; particularly in colder weather. timing chain tensioner was replaced and one noise was resolved but the continual nature of the lifter clatter remains. dealership and hyundai representative reported that they were unable to duplicate the problem and the issue remains unresolved. (issue 3) fuel sloshing coming from the fuel tank. manufacturer and dealer claims this to be normal and not a safety risk. sound is more pronounced at or around 3/4 tank. brought this to the attention of the dealer and the manufacturer directly and remains unresolved. *nm | |||
