| Description of the problem | At around 107,000 miles the motor on my 20111 sonata shut off on the 91 east freeway while traveling about 70mph. I was forced to pull off on the hard shoulder of the road and the vehicle had no power steering or power brakes. The motor started back up eventually but was making a loud noise and failed completely shortly after. I replaced the motor in the sonata with a used motor and repaired the damage to the suspension and tires. |
