Consumer Description

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION INTO A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN MY 2000 HYUNDAI SONATA. I THEN HEARD A SNAP, A GRINDING NOISE, AND I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE MY CAR. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY SEVERAL CARS PASSING BY AT HIGH SPEEDS THAT DID NOT SEE MY CAR BECAUSE THEY WERE COMING AROUND A CORNER. TWO MEN STOPPED BEHIND ME AND PUSHED MY CAR BACK INTO THE PARKING LOT OF THE GAS STATION. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK, AND THEY LOOKED AT MY CAR THE NEXT MORNING. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT WAS DUE TO MY FRONT SUBFRAME BEING COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY. IT RESULTED IN ALMOST A COMPLETE SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM DETACHMENT FROM THE VEHICLE, AND WHEEL SEPARATION. THEY ARE CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE NEW PART TO COME IN, IN ORDER TO FIX THE CAR, BUT THE BILL IS ESTIMATED TO BE $1,500. *TR
