| Description of the problem | Model: hyundai sonata 2011 limited issue: rattling/clunking/ knocking sound from suspension you have to know this issue about sonata 2011 limited. Shock/strut knocking at low speeds 1mph to 40mph sounds is easily noticeable. I mostly drive on freeway/highways/toll and 90% but the sound has started to come loud and annoying. I am afraid of my dear life while driving this car , since at speeds 60 and above the steering too is making knocking sound and hard to control the car at while on turns. This is common issue what i found from forums online and want this issue to be bought to hyundai notice to issue recall on suspension this is a life threatening situation for any driver who is driving this car since i feel the frame or suspension would break while driving.
