| Description of the problem | 2015 hyundai sonata se - engine vibrations/rattles/droning when in overdrive at low rpm acceleration. At times the engine has been unresponsive. Was told by hyundai it was normal, but did not start until the car had around 600 miles - now at 7400 miles, still doing it and sounds horrid. Also, popping sound from steering/brakes when backing up and turning/using brakes at only 1200 miles. That was fixed by dealer, said i had overheated the brakes, which wasn't true, only drove on freeway and wasn't using the brakes. |
