Consumer Description

I OWN A 1999 HYUNDAI SONATA. I LIKE MANY OTHERS IN THE 99-2000 MY HAVE EXPERIENCED THE RIGHT SIDE SUB FRAME RUST DEFECT/SAFETY ISSUE. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON A WINDING ROAD, COMING HOME FROM WORK. SHE CALLED ME AND SAID CAR WAS DISABLED. SHE STATED CAR BEGAN TO PULL TO THE RIGHT ON A CURVE, MADE A LOUD NOISE....AND BECAME DISABLED. FORTUNATELY A COUPLE PEOPLE HAD STOPPED AND HELPED HER GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN I GOT THERE THE RIGHT WHEEL WAS ANGLED IN AT THE TOP. IT WAS CLEARLY DAMAGED. THE SUBFRAME HAD RUSTED OUT AND WHEEL SHAFT PULLED OUT OF THE ENGINE. THE UPPER CONTROL ARM TOO WAS DAMAGED. CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE LET ALONE A DEFECT.............I THANK GOD SHE WAS NOT INJURED AND THAT SO FAR IT APPEARS THAT MANY THAT HAVE REPORTED SAME PROBLEM HAVE NOT BEEN INJURED. *TR
