What owners wrote
When coming to a stop, the consumer heard a rumbling noise. The vehicle vibrated soon after that. Dealership was unable to resolve the problem. The steering wheel would shake along with the vehicle when sitting at idle and more when the A/C was on. The vehicle also pulled to the right.
6-22-17 my daughter was return to work in her 2003 hyundai sonata, as she was leaving an adjacent parking lot to where she parked, the right front wheel popped loudly, the car lost power she stopped the vehicle going straight at a relative low speed. The car was inoperable so I had it towed to my house. 6-24-17 I begin to inspect what happened, I jacked the rt frt end off the ground and blocked it up. I found the lower control arm was somewhat loose. It was broken loose from the rt side subframe.
