Consumer Description

I WAS PULLING INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND HEARD A LOUD CRACK, SO I PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND SAW THAT MY DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE WAS SLANTING INWARD (SEE PICTURES). I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND SAID THAT THE CONTROL ARM WAS CRACKED AND THAT THERE WAS RUST/CORROSION AROUND THAT AREA ON THE SUBFRAME. NOW IT'S AT THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED...A VERY COSTLY REPAIR (REAR CROSSLINK/SUBFRAME). THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY/MAJOR ROAD AND THIS HAPPENED I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD! THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS TYPE OF ISSUE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE'S BEEN A RECALL BEFORE ON THE RUST/SUSPENSION PROBLEMS HYUNDAI HAS HAD.
