| Description of the problem | After the wheel of my car started vibrating while turning as well as rolling back when on a slight incline, i decided to look the issue up and found other sonatas with the same year had a recall. While my vin# did not have the recall does not mean the car was not part of the recall. After visiting a dealer, he determined the axle was indeed the issue and needed to be replaced. Having dealt with recalls in my own company, it is 100% possible that a recall does not catch all of the vehicles with the issue. Hyundai called me on my concern and said they would make a note of it, meanwhile, i could very well have a fatal accident due to an axle separation from a known issue. This issue began when turning left and has now started while driving straight which clearly indicates it is getting critically worse. |
