2007 Hyundai Entourage Tires Problems

“I bought a used 2007 Hyundai Entourage in july 2009. When we test drove it, there was no highway to take it on and it seemed ok on local road. There was a slight shimmy but we were told it was just from it sitting on lot. After purchase, when we took it on the parkway, we noticed a strong vibration in steering wheel at highway speeds. Had front and back brakes and rotors replaced, and tires balanced as well - all non warranty repairs. The problem still exists and is occurring while going down steep hills as well. …”

“My 2007 Entourage limited has several quality deficiency issues and recurring maintenance issues. The rear sliding doors (both) have been worked on several times, yet they continue to malfunction, I.e come undone/re-open, not fully latch, and consistently beep as a notice of failure. This is where my babies sit, both of them. The dvd screen has been replaced because it quit functioning properly. The van shimmies or rattles at speed around 70 MPH. It causes the center console to shake vigorously. The wheels were balanced on a special wheel balancer but this only reduced the problem. …”

“After 23k miles of use, these tires have virtually no tread left. This was a brand new vehicle purchase and the tires came stock as part of the vehicle. We have been conscientious in rotating the tires and ensuring that the tires have proper inflation.”

“1. Driver side sliding door has not worked properly since purchase. Also happens on occasion with passenger side sliding door. Herculean effort needed to open them. Very risky in emergency situation. 2. Tire pressure monitoring system failure. In replacing all 4 tires at 47,000 miles (10-25-08) , the valve stems containing the tire pressure monitoring system were not removable without tremendous effort. Once reinserted, the valves proceeded to flatten one of our new tires and seriously reduce inflation in another. Result: need another new tire and replacement of valve stems.”

“The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Entourage. While driving various speeds, the vehicle suddenly shut off and the electronic stability control and tire pressure monitoring system indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to capitol Hyundai(2820 eastern blvd, montgomery, al) for repairs, but the failure recurred. No diagnosis information was available. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the transmission, but the failure continued. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000. The VIN was invalid.”
