UNKNOWN On January 24,2026, I was thankfully traveling only about twenty mph a block from my home and something happened in the front drivers side suspension that caused me to almost hit three parked cars.

It seems that it could be what is described in recall 069. However when I put my vin in it said zero recalls. I see a letter to the original owner of this car, but I don’t see any info with the recall being repaired. The car hasn’t been worked on yet as we had a huge snowstorm the night the car broke and have since had sub zero temps and I’ve not found anyone to work on it in front of...

As I was driving about 25-30 mph when the front drivers side lower control arm snapped, resulting in loss of control and steering, which could’ve caused a major accident if driven on a highway/interstate at a higher rate of speed. The damage revealed the control arm had rotted from the inside and had broken from the bushing connected to the frame, with no indication of rust in the outside, which has been something that has documented with other same generation Hyundais. I have not been able to bring it to a dealer or mechanic to have it checked

I WAS 1 MILE FROM MY HOME AT A RED LIGHT WHEN MY 2005 ELANTRA ACCELERATED WITHOUT THE GAS PEDAL BEING TOUCHED. I FIRST TRIED THE BRAKES WHICH DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING. I TURNED THE CAR AROUND AND HAD TO RIDE THE BRAKES UNTIL I COULD GET THE VEHICLE HOME. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN A VARIETY OF POSITIONS, FOR EXAMPLE DRIVE, PARK, AND NEUTRAL THE ENGINE STILL RACED. THE VEHICLE SMELLED OF A BURNING SMELL. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE SHOP.
