Description of the problem	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 the shop plenty of times since i first purchased it but my theory is that i purchased a lemon car but apparently because the miles it don't qualify. Okay now what it qualifies for? Manufacturing defects smh when i drive in the rain the windows do not defross as it should therefore i'm afraid to drive it during bad weather
