Consumer Description

I WAS JUST GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE AND WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN THE CAR MADE THIS CLUNKING NOISE AND THEN I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING. I COULD NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR. AFTER I GOT THE CAR HOME, IT WAS LOOKED AT AND I WAS TOLD THE CONTROL ARM ROTTEN OFF THE SUB-FRAME FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2001-2004 HYUNDAI SONATAS. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND THEY DID NOT SEEM TO WANT TO HELP ME AND TOLD ME THIS HAS NOT BEEN A PROBLEM IN THE PAST. IT APPERAS TO ME THAT IF THEY RECALLED PREVIOUS MODELS THAT THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT THE CONTROL ARM DID NOT BRAKE WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING AT 65 MPH. *TR
