NHTSA Complaint #10261272 — 2000 HYUNDAI XG

I WAS DRIVING MY HYUNDAI SONATA WITH MY SON IN THE CAR WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED VEERING TO THE RIGHT AND THE STEERING WAS HARD. I TRIED TO TURN TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD OUT OF TRAFFIC AND THE CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE AND STARTED SHAKING. I THOUGHT MY TIRE WAS FLAT I GOT OUT AND THE WHEEL WAS ON THE GROUND.I WAS PETRIFIED I'M STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WITH CARS BLOWING. I CALLED ALLSTATE THEY TOWED TO NEAREST MECHANIC. I WAS TOLD ON MONDAY 03/09/09 THAT MY AXLE WAS BROKE, THE SUB FRAME WAS SEVERELY RUSTED AND THE COST OF REPAIRS ABOUT AROUND 2500.00. I DID FILE A COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS. I'M JUST THANKING GOD ME AND MY CHILD WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR
