I pulled out of a parking lot and heard a semi-loud bang and some clatter in the back passenger side, sounded like a raccoon or some animal was banging uner the body trying desperately to get out. I drove 15 minutes home and it made the banging when i would hit bumps and i would accelerate. Shifting into neutral would quiet the banging on smooth parts of the road. I jacked up the car, rotated the tire and it spun freely, tried moving it back and forth and it wasnt loose. the spring wasn't shot, strut was in tact, control arms not cracked. i don't know what was causing that terrible sound.

SOURCE: the rear passenger side makes a loud banging noise

Check to see if your strut spring is loose. If there is a lot of rust in the area, check to see that none of the spot welds came free and he strut came loose. It may be a rear shock on that car and not a strut, Either way. Check to make sure nothing is missing a bolt or moves when pushed or pulled. You don't want to find out by losing control on the expressway.

SOURCE: i have a knocking sound

For a car part, a Hyundai dealer or a parts store always comes to mind for me and most other folks.
Bear in mind that parts stores will be way cheaper than a dealer, and that what you do on one side should always be done on the other as it is just about to fail. So save some time and labor costs and do both struts at once. If you have no idea where to find a part then you also are not going to be able to install it yourself. So you will need to find a shop, call around for prices to do both sides and stay away from chain muffler stores. There is no law against taking your own parts and saving the shop's mark-up on them.

Go back to the dealership and have a mechanic go with you on a test drive , point out to him the problems. The clicking sound is usually a bad CV joint , the banging is probably suspension.
Sounds to me like the dealership doesn't want to do any FREE waranty work.
I always tell people not to go to dealerships , but your car is only 1 year old.

Smoke coming back passenger side tire smoking and made loud bang sound

My guess is the brake is being applied by the ABS system due to a leaking hydraulic valve in the hydraulic control section of the ABS module.

Oil pressure gauge does not reach 40 PSI. Heard the sounds like a loud ticking coming from the engine on the passengers side. Then pressed on the gas peddle and it didn't want to add power. Ticking n

Not sure if there is a question here or not. If the pressure is always below 40 and you are hearing engine noise, chances are the oil pressure really is low. You could replace the sending unit or use a mechanical gauge to verify.

Loud banging noise when i go over a bump on passenger side front and a clicking when i pull into a parking spot or three point turn both left and right took it to dealership say they cant find anything

The clicking is the halfshafts or front wheel drive axles. I have a hard time believing that they have went bad already but anything is possible. The banging noise is something in the suspension, perhaps struts or a sway bar link.

Loud metal bang when turned tires to right

You may have to remove the tires but they are very well known for braking the front coil springs.

Front brakes replaced and then heard a loud bang

A noise like that in brakes are not something to guess at, or play around with. Call the place that did the brake job, and explain to them what happened. My guess is that they will come to you, or advise you to very carefully bring it to them for a look. Might have been a stone wedged or something but don't take the chance, have it looked at, a.s.a.p. and don't drive it if you don't have to until then.
