Consumer Description

LEAVING WORK I HEARD A NOISE COME FROM THE CAR AS I WAS LEAVING PARKING LOT OF THE HOSPITAL WHICH HAS A TEN MPH SPEED LIMIT AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 9 HOURS. I REALIZED I FELT LIKE I WAS SITING LOOPSIDED. SO I TURNED OFF INTO MY EMPLOYERS FRONT LOT TO INSPECT THE CAR. I WALKED AROUND NOTICED THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WAS LOWER. TIRES LOOKED OK SO I LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND SAY THIS RUSTY DRAGGING STRUT/CROSS MEMBER PIECE.. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED AS I KNEW IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE IT DAMAGE TIRES, SHOCKS ETC. THE CAR VISUALLY APPEARED TO BE DRAGGING IN THE REAR ON DRIVERS SIDE DUE TO THIS. THIS PART WAS RECALLED BY HYUNDAI IN 2014 DUE TO CORROSION. .
