The rear passenger control arm broke off of the subframe due to severe corrosion despite Hyundai applying a corrosion preventative under recall 17-01-013 on 12/1/2015. During all service work following the preventative in 2015, corrosion was never brought up as a concern by the dealership (we have all service records since date of initial purchase). Thankfully we had just reached our destination and were parking the car when the failure happened. Had the part failed 5 minutes earlier, we would have been on the highway at over 60mph and could have been seriously injured or worse. We had our Tucson towed to the dealership for repair as well as additional recall work under Campaign 952 for corrosion of the fuel band.

Took my car to get inspected and would not pass inspection due to rust underneath the vehicle salt corrosion. Was advised that engine was going to fall out. Took my vehicle to Hyuandai dealer for a gas tank recall which they fixed about a month ago and are now denying claims to fix the rust-which the whole car underneath is rusting. Hyundai bowser has rust issues with their vehicles and recalls. Hyundai Bowser PA-51 and Lewis Run Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15236 412-469-2100. My car was at Bowser Dealership on 05/19/2021 and Tina case manger called 06/07/2021 they denied to fix rust salt corrosion on vehicle.
MY 2007 TUSCON FAILED PA STATE INSPECTION DUE A LARGE HOLD IN THE LEFT REAR FRAME. ADVISED TO HAVE FRAME REPAIRED BUT COST IS MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH AT THIS TIME. WAS ADVISED THAT THIS IS NOT NEW DAMAGE, THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED ME, THEY HAVE WORKED ON THE CAR FOR OTHER MAJOR ISSUES 3 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. THE CAR HAD THE UNDERBODY CORROSION TREATMENT IN 2015 BUT THE DEALER CLAIMS THIS PART WAS NOT PART OF THE TREATMENT. I'M ASKING FOR HYUNDAI ASSISTANCE WITH THIS ISSUE, IT SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE AND COULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED IF REPORTED SOONER
