Consumer Description

ON NOVEMBER 27TH, 2009 I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT THE BOTTOM OF AN INTERSTATE OFF-RAMP, WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE IN THE FRONT OF MY 2002 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT. I TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD AND IT FELT LIKE I HAD A FLAT TIRE, BUT WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL WAS TURNED INWARD. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND INSPECT THE UNDER CARRIAGE, THE LEFT FRONT CONTROL ARM HAD RUSTED TO THE POINT THAT IT HAD CRUMPLED WHEN I TRIED TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND WAS REPAIRED BY REPLACING BOTH FRONT CONTROL ARMS (THE RIGHT ARM WAS ALSO RUSTED). THE REASON I'M SENDING THIS MESSAGE IS BECAUSE MY STATE (KENTUCKY) IS NOT INVOLVED IN THE HYUNDAI RECALL (ID #58993) THAT WAS INVESTIGATED BY THE NHTSA, ACTION NUMBER PE09011. *TR
