I WAS DRIVING MY HYUNDAI SONATA WITH MY SON IN THE CAR WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED VEERING TO THE RIGHT AND THE STEERING WAS HARD. I TRIED TO TURN TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD OUT OF TRAFFIC AND THE CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE AND STARTED SHAKING. I THOUGHT MY TIRE WAS FLAT I GOT OUT AND THE WHEEL WAS ON THE GROUND.I WAS PETRIFIED I'M STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WITH CARS BLOWING. I CALLED ALLSTATE THEY TOWED TO NEAREST MECHANIC. I WAS TOLD ON MONDAY 03/09/09 THAT MY AXLE WAS BROKE, THE SUB FRAME WAS SEVERELY RUSTED AND THE COST OF REPAIRS ABOUT AROUND 2500.00. I DID FILE A COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS. I'M JUST THANKING GOD ME AND MY CHILD WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

Across model years
Worst on record: 2002Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
