Consumer Description

I OWN A 1999 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH THE PASSENGER RIGHT SIDE WHEEL COLLAPSED AND VEHICLE STOPPED. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE STATED THAT UPPER CONTROL ARM WAS RUSTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND THE BOLTS SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,000. IT WAS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I MADE OVER 30 PHONES TO TRY AND RESOLVE THIS MATTER I WAS PREPARED TO GO TO THE MEDIA WITH STORY. THE MANUFACTURER FIXED MY CAR AFTER MANY WEEKS. I DO FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR
