Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2003 hyundai sonata. a problem has developed recently in which my hubcaps are rotating on the wheel and cutting the tire stems thus resulting in both of my front tire going flat at once. i reported this thru the hyundai complaint hotline. they thought i was nuts. i did a google search and found other sonata owners with similiar problem. they also reported this to the hyundai complaint hotline with similar unsatisfactory results. i believe this is a safety problem. the last occuarance that this happened was in heavy traffic on interstate 75 in ohio. after a "hard brake" both front hubcaps rotated and cut both hubcaps at once resulting in a dual flats in heavy traffic. |
