Consumer Description

I HAVE A HYUNDAI SONATA 2005 AND THE MECHANIC FROM HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP NOTIFIED ME THE SUBFRAME CORROSION ISSUE. THE SYMPTOM OF MY CAR EXACTLY SAME AS THE CASE FROM NICHOLAS CIRULLI AND ROBERT D'ELIA V. HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY AND HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA, WHICH EVENTUALLY RECALLED 2000 - 2004 HYUNDAI SONATA DUE TO THE SUBFRAME CORROSION ISSUE. I AM WONDERING WHETHER 2005 HYUNDAI SONATA OWNERS EXPERIENCE A SIMILAR ISSUE AND THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED ON THE RECALL AS WELL. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF NHTSA WOULD REVIEW THIS CASE. THANKS.
