Consumer Description

2002 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HATCHBACK, DRIVER SIDE CONTROL ARM RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING IT BREAK IN HALF, NO BODY WAS HURT, NO COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES OCCURRED. THE DAMAGE CAME TO OVER $1,000.00. THE CONTROL ARM ON A CAR SHOULD NEVER UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES FAIL. IT SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IF WE HAD BEEN ON A MAIN HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS. THE CONTROL ARM METAL IS EXTREMELY THIN MAKING US THINK IT MAY BE A DEFECT FROM HYUNDAI. *TR
