| Manufacurer | Hyundai Motor Company |
| Brand | HYUNDAI |
| Model | SONATA |

| Component | SUSPENSION |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Before getting deployed to afghanistan, i took my sonata to a hyundai dealership to have some repair work done so i could let a friend borrow my car while deployed. Much of the suspension had rusted out and needed to be replaced. I also had to get a new set of tires, despite the fact that the tires i had weren't much more than one year old. In any case, i'm writing this to you after reading an article about an nhtsa investigation into hyundai sonatas (2006-2008) for having similar problems. Fortunately, i replaced the parts before an accident occurred but wanted to let you know about the issue in case it helps the investigation. Unfortunately, i cannot provide you with detailed information because all of my paperwork is in storage while i'm in afghanistan. |
