Consumer Description

AFTER FAILING A NEW YORK STATE INSPECTION, I WAS SHOCKED TO DISCOVER THAT MY 2000 HYUNDAI SONATA GLS HAD A RUSTED ENGINE CRADLE THE SIZE OF A FIST ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. NO PREVIOUS INSPECTIONS HAD INDICATED THAT THERE WAS THIS IMPENDING HAZARD. CONSEQUENTLY, I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE MY VEHICLE, AND ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, IT WAS A MERE MATTER OF DAYS OR A SIMPLE ROUGH ROAD THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED MY SUBFRAME TO DETACH WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND AM AWAITING A RESPONSE AND FULLY EXPECT THEM TO NOT ONLY REPAIR THE ENGINE CRADLE, BUT MAKE OWNERS AWARE THAT MODELS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 1999 AND 2002 FACE THIS HAZARD TO THEMSELVES AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD DUE TO THEIR OWN MANUFACTURING DEFECTS. *TR
