Consumer Description

1999 HYUNDAI SONATA FRONT RIGHT WHEEL WAS SEVERED FROM FRAME WHILE MY DAUGHTER, WHO IS A NEW DIVER, WAS DRIVING, FRAME WAS BADLY RUSTED. CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICE 6 MONTHS AGO TO HAVE FRONT STRUTS REPLACED AND DEALER DID NOT INDICATE THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM OR THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING THIS IN OTHER SIMILAR CARS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS I CAN SEE THAT THESE CARS HAVE A PROBLEM AND NEED TO BE PULLED FROM THE ROAD BEFORE SERIOUS HARM COMES FROM THIS ISSUE. HYUNDAI SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS 96,000 MILES AND HYUNDAI IS REPLACING THE SUB FRAME UNDER WARRANTY, BUT MY CONCERN IS THAT THEY ARE NOT TELLING ANYONE PRIOR TO FAILURE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. *TR
