Consumer Description

THE LOWER CONTROL ARM RUSTED AND BROKE ALLOWING THE WHEEL TO BREAK LOSE AND TILT IN AT THE BOTTOM. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE RESULTS LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN LOSS OF CONTROL AND CRASH. IT'S A DEFECT HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF BUT FAILED TO NOTIFY ALL OWNERS. AND HYUNDAI IS SHORTING THE RECALL TO CERTAIN STATES BLAMING THE ISSUE ON ROAD SALT CORROSION. WHILE IN FACT IT IS A HUGE PROBLEM THAT HYUNDAI IS IGNORING AND LEAVING THEIR CONSUMERS IN HARMS WAY. THERE HAS TO BE MANY HYUNDAI VEHICLE OWNERS DRIVING TODAY IN CARS THAT ARE TICKING TIME BOMBS. PEOPLE WILL BE HURT OR KILLED IF ACTION IS NOT TAKEN VERY SOON. ALL VEHICLES EFFECTED BY THIS SAME MANUFACTURING FLAW ARE VERY DANGEROUS TO OPERATE. *TR
