2000 HYUNDAI SONATA Structurebody Problems

STEERING AND STABILITY UNSTABLE. MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THE REAR SUB FRAME IS RUSTY AND CRACKED. THE ENTIRE FRAME WAS REPLACED AROUND 2010 BECAUSE OF A RECALL. WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP LOSE TRACTION AND BECOMES UNSTABLE. WANT TO KNOW IF THE REPLACEMENT FRAME HAS A WARRANTY. WANT TO KEEP THE CAR STILL RUNS GREAT. 170,000 MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTO SHOP WHERE THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED AS A CONTROL ARM FAILURE AND RUSTED SUBFRAME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

RUST REAR CONTROL ARM BROKE FROM SUBFRAME, MADE NOISE ENOUGH TO TAKE TO MECHANIC WHO FOUND PROBLEM WHY IS IT THAT ONLY FRONT SUBFRAME & FRONT CONTROL ARMS WERE INCLUDED IN RECALL? THE REAR PARTS ARE ALSO RUSTING.... PARTS ARE MADE FROM SAME MATERIAL = SAME PROBLEM ... THE RECALL SHOULD INCLUDE BOTH THE FRONT AND THE BACK. WHY WOULD ONLY ONE SIDE OF THE CAR RUST AND NOT THE OTHER RIDICULOUS!! *TR

MY HYUNDAI DEALER HAS REFUSED TO HONOR THEIR 100,000MILES, 10 YEARS WARRANTY" MANY TIMES THAT I BRING THE CAR TO BE FIXED UNDER THE WARRANTY SINCE THE CAR WAS ONLY 8YEARS OLD AND 76,000 MILES SINCE 2008. THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEMS THAT I EXPERIENCED BY SAYING MY CAR IS NOT LISTED IN ANY RECALL CAMPAIGN. UNFORTUNATELY THIS YEAR, ON 10/11/12, I TOOK MY CAR FOR AN ANNUAL STATE INSPECTION FOR 2000 HYUNDAI SONATA AND IT FAILS THE SAFETY INSPECTION. HERE IS WHAT IT SAYS: ***VEHICLE MEMO*** VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE...REAR SUB-FRAME HAS HOLE ROTTED THROUGH... DUE TO THE CURRENT FINANCIAL SITUATION, I DON'T KNOW HOW I WILL GET THIS CAR FIXED BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOW 115,000MILES AND 12 YEARS OLD AND I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WILL FIX IT. THEY HAVE CONTINUOUSLY REFUSED TO FIX MY CAR UNDER WARRANTY EVEN WHEN IT WAS CLEARLY WITHIN THE...

NOISE NOTED WHEN ATTEMPTING RIGHT TURN. DROVE & CAME TO STOP-HEARD LOUD NOISE FROM RIGHT FRONT END - CAR PULLED RIGHT & TIRE POPPED OUT. CAR UNDRIVEABLE. AFTER EXAM BY MECHANIC, IT WAS NOTED THE RIGHT FRONT CAR FRAME HAD SNAPPED IN HALF. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN CAR CRASH - I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. WITH THAT PARTICULAR DEFECT, HAD IT GONE OVER A POTHOLE ON THE INTERSTATE HWY @ HWY SPEED, IT COULD HAVE VERY LIKELY CAUSED A FATALITY ACCIDENT. *TR

ON AUGUST 25TH, 2007, MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING HOME ON THE SOUTHERN STATE PARKWAY. THERE WAS QUITE SOME TRAFFIC (STOP-AND-GO KIND OF THING) SO WE WEREN'T AT A HIGH SPEED. WHEN THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME HAD TO STOP SHORT, I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES, AND THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL OF MY CAR SUNK, AND THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE LIKE METAL SCRATCHING AGAINST THE PAVEMENT . AFTER I FINALLY MANAGED TO STOP THE CAR WITHOUT GETTING HIT BY ANOTHER DRIVER, AND CHECKING TO SEE IF MY WIFE WAS OK, I GOT OUT OF THE CAR JUST TO FIND OUT THAT MY FRONT RIGHT WHEEL WAS IN AN ALMOST HORIZONTAL POSITION. AFTER TOWING THE CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP, MY MECHANIC FOUND OUT THAT THE AXLE AND THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE BECAUSE THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS SEVERELY RUSTED, AND THEREFORE THERE WAS NO SUPPORT FOR THE...
