8/8/2010 - Virginia Pea
My 2000 Huundai Sonata subframe resulted in wheel failure as I was turning onto the street by my house. I am grateful I was driving at a speed of less that 5 mph or there would have been a serious crash. The defect on this model is definitely serious.

Do you drive a 2000 HYUNDAI SONATA?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
