I am driving a 2007 Hyundai Sonata which I bought used in 2012. It has just over 75,000 miles and I noticed my first problem on Friday, 11-13. The problem is the is front end noise which first sounded like my tire rubbing something. Now it is more like a thump like a flat tuire which you can hear after you take yiour foot off the gas while it is not accelerating and you are braking. Any thoughts?

Does it sound like the above? They say it is a wheel bearing.

I would have bought a newer Hyundai for the same amount of a 2007 Sonata, you probably could have bought a Elantra.

I have a 2007 Sonata V6. Over 102k miles. Still no problems like yours. Did have to replace the battery and the starter so far. But I really didn't think I had to replace the battery but most likely needed one soon. Oh yeah, one more thing the key ignition switch.

Could be a few things, but likely either a motor mount, or CV joints. Why not take it to a small garage mechanic, yeah it costs, but it also costs to guess and get the diagnosis wrong.

I really don't recall saying what I spent on my 2007. I had been hit buy a mack truck truck 2 weeks earlier. He totalled my car. It was a 2002 Hyundia Sonata. Bought it in 2002. 12,000 miles. Loved it and I owned it out right. VERY satisfied with Hyundia. I had to finance very little, and I did not want a new car. Only listed as new til you drive it off the lot.

Replaced original battery a couple months ago. My issue turned out to be brakes and rotors. Thanks Mike.

Brakes and rotors. Happens to every car. Had a 2002 Sonata demolished 2 weeks before buying. Financed very little. Own it out right 3 1/2 years. I am not flashy, don't need new. Too much of a payment. I have bigger plans than a car payment.
