Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 HYUNDAI SONATA A CAR I BOUGHT NEW IN FLORIDA AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN FLORIDA. MY ENGINE CARRIAGE RUSTED THROUGH AND SNAPPED THE CONTROL ARM ON MY CAR AND THE ENTIRE WHEEL CAME OFF SENDING ME INTO TWO LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT WAS TAKEN TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP I AM WAITING TO HEAR IF HYUNDAI WILL REPAIR THE HUGE DAMAGE TO MY CAR. NOT TO MENTION I WAS ALMOST KILLED DUE TO THIS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS NOW. LIVES ARE AT RISK. IT IS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. *TR
