| Description of the problem | I have a 2011 hyundai sonata and recently had to have both front axles replaced, as the front end clunked when turning the wheel to park or driving over a pot-hole. The front end made a sound like it was "bottoming out". I was informed by the manager at kerry hyundai of florence, that there is a recall up to 2010 sonata's regarding the front axles. I contacted hyundai regarding replacing the axles as the axles are usually the last part that wears out on an automobile. It cost $640. 76 without tax to have them replaced. Hyundai relayed to me that the highway department handles recalls and referred me back to the dealership (like they are going to refund me)! Thanks |
