Consumer Description

THE SUB FRAME IN THE FRONT RUSTED OUT JUST LIKE THE SALT BELT 1999-2004 THE CAR HAS ONLY TWO SPOTS OF RUST AT THE BACK FENDER. NO OTHER RUST I TOOK IT TO A SERVICE STATION BECAUSE IT WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT HE LIFTED THE CAR AND THE SUB FRAME IS ROTTED OUT JUST LIKE THEY DID ON THE 1999-2004 BUT HYUNDAI WILL NOT FIX BECAUSE ITS A 2005 I THINK THE PART IS THE SAME AS THE 2004 AND THEY CANT TELL ME THAT AND WONT HELP ME.
