NHTSA Complaint #10243185 — 2001 HYUNDAI SONATA

2001 HYUNDAI SONATA GLS - THE VEHICLE SPRANG A LEAK UNDERNEATH OF STEERING FLUID. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC HE PUT IT UP ON THE LIFT, FOUND A PROBLEM WITH THE SUBFRAME BEING SO WEAK AND RUSTED THAT WE CAN'T DRIVE IT. MY MECHANIC CALLED A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER WHO SAID THE WHOLE PROBLEM WAS COVERED (INCL STEERING LEAK CAUSED BY BENDING SUBFRAME). I THEN TOWED IT TO WHERE I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY CALLED TO TELL ME I NEEDED TO PREBUY OVER $2000, SUBFRAME NOT COVERED. HAMPTON HYUNDAI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, 177 LAFAYETTE ROAD. I FOUND TWO OTHER DEALERSHIPS WHO SAY BOTH PROBLEMS SHOULD BE COVERED. I AM ORIGINAL AND PRESENT OWNER, UNDER 93,000 MILES. *TR
