Consumer Description

2002 HYUNDAI SONATA SUB FRAME CORROSION AND FRONT RT WHEEL COLLAPSED. LOCAL DEALER COVERED COST OF SUB FRAME REPLACEMENT, BUT CHARGED ME FOR A NEW SWAY BAR. FRONT FENDER WAS PUSHED AGAINST PASSENGER DOOR, WHICH HYUNDAI WOULD NOT FIX, AND CAR NOW HAS SEVERE WOBBLING WHEN DRIVEN, UNLIKE BEFORE THE CORROSION. HYUNDAI SAYS IT'S AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM AND MY RESPONSIBILITY. I AM WONDERING WHAT RECOURSE I HAVE AGAINST HYUNDAI, AS THE CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED AND DROVE SMOOTHLY BEFORE THIS DAMAGED OCCURRED. LUCKY NO ONE WAS HURT, SINCE THE WHEEL LET GO AT A LOW SPEED. *TR
