Description of the problem | Hyundai recall 133: on friday, march 25, i was driving and in motion when i heard a metalic, clanky sound when i drove over a few bumps in the road. I finished my trip and again while driving on the way back to my home, i heard it again and heard metal drop on the road underneath the car. I looked out the rearview mirror and saw a metal piece bouncing and then come to a stop in the middle of the road. I pulled over and picked up the part. I had my husband inspect it and he said it may be from the front coil spring. We immediately took the car to our local mechanic and had them inspect the vehicle. The mechanic confirmed that it was the front spring coil that had eroded and fractured. The mechanic also informed me that the spring was under recall. However, when i inquired about the recall, hyundai motors of america informed me that my car was not covered under the recall notice 133. I have an open case with hyundai motors of america (case # 8968274). |
