NHTSA Complaint #10254306 — 2000 HYUNDAI SONATA

I HAVE A 2000 HYUNDAI SONATA AND TOOK IT TO MEINEKE, THEY TOLD ME THE WHOLE FRONT SUBFRAME WAS ROTTED OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, WHICH WOULD COST 1750.00. THE CAR US NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE METAL HYUNDAI HAS USED WITH SOME OF ITS MODELS, ESPECIALLY THE SONATA. IF IT IS A DEFECT, IS THE CAR GOING TO BE RECALLED. I FEEL THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD FIX THIS WITHOUT ANY COST TO ME. WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE COMPLAINT, IS THERE A RECALL ON THE HORIZON. I DON'T HAVE 1750.00 TO FIX MY CAR AND HAVE TO TAKE IT OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE IT IS TO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE ENGINE IS LITERALLY FALLING OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR, THE MECHANIC AT MEINEKE SHOWED ME THAT BOTH SIDES OF THE SUB FRAME WAS RUSTED AND THE TIRES WERE SLANTED OUT BECAUSE OF THE STRESS OF THE ENGINE ON THE RUSTED FRAME. I LITERALLY COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF HYUNDAI IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS DEFECT. *TR
