Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 30MPH AND THE CAR STARTED SWERVING LEFT AND RIGHT LIKE 'CRAZY'. I PULLED OVER AND NOTICED THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WHEEL WAS BENT EVEN THOUGH WHEELS WERE STRAIGHT. I LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE CAR AND THERE WAS CRACK ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE SUBFRAME OF THE CAR WHERE THE LOWER TORQUE ARM ATTACHES TO THE WHEEL. THE TORQUE ARM LOOKED FINE BUT WHERE IT ATTACHED WAS RUSTED SO MUCH IT BROKE. I TOUCHED THIS AREA AND NOTICED A FIST SIZED HOLE OF METAL HAD RUSTED AWAY. HYUNDAI APPARENTLY USED VERY CHEAP METAL WHEN BUILDING THEIR PRODUCT. I CHECKED THE OTHER SIDE AND NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM. THE OTHER FRONT WHEEL SIDE IS ABOUT READY TO BREAK TOO AND FALL OFF THE CAR. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT HOME TRYING MY BEST TO STAY IN ONE LANE WHICH WAS VERY HARD AND DIDN'T ALWAYS DO THAT. I WILL TAKE SOME PICTURES LATER. *TR
