2013 Hyundai SONATA Structure Frame And Members Underbody Shield Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	958902
Internal NHTSA #	10492156
Manufacurer	Hyundai Motor Company
Brand	HYUNDAI
Model	SONATA
Model Year	2013
File date	05/01/13
Component	STRUCTURE: FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELD
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The plastic tabs on the left side bumper cover (so called bumper) broke completely off when it appears that the l- shaped lip of the plastic shield under the car rub up against a parking curve. The bottom of the bumper or the shield underneath the car was not scratched to indicate that the car dragged on the curve. The dealer stated the l-shaped lip of the shield rubbed upon the curve and lifted the bumper causing the tabs on the left side of the bumper to break off. The car will need a new painted bumper installed to repair this problem as the plastic tabs are molded to the bumper cover. I have never had a vehicle that would do any damage if the car shield scraped a parking curve. I have never seen a toy battery operated car break like this if it hit or scraped an object. It appears if i ran over a bottle, piece of wood, gravel, etc.,in the road and it hit this shield, if could break this bumper cover. I did not pay over $30,000 for a toy? The shield (should be other than bendable plastic) under this vehicle needs to be bolted to the frame of the car and not the bumper cover. When i pushed the shield under the car, the whole bumper cover lifts up! This is not a vehicle that should be on the roads and highways. It is a safety hazard! This car will not meet the 0 miles per hours test in a crash under any federal regulations safety tests. How could the manufacturer be allowed to put this car on the market? I would like to discuss this matter further and, also, would like for nhtsa to have a representative inspect this car. Because it is so fragile, i am sort of afraid to drive it!.
