THE VEHICLE WAS LIFTED UP, AND IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE FRAME WHERE THE CONTROL ARM WAS ATTACHED HAD RUSTED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED, WHO SUGGESTED TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED, WHO INFORMED THE FRAME WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE REMAINED INOPERABLE AFTER THE INCIDENT. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED CONCERN BECAUSE THE FRAME SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE VEHICLE'S 100000 MILE WARRANTY.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL AREA. UPON INSPECTION OF THE WHEEL, THE WHEEL WAS OBSERVED TO BE ANGLED SLIGHTLY INWARD. THE TREAD ON THE TIRE WAS ALSO WORN TO THE POINT OF PRESSING THE TREAD INWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SERVICE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SUB FRAME WAS RUSTED, AND HAD FRACTURED DUE TO THE RUST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL, #01V347000 , REGARDING THE AIR BAGS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN.

THE BARS, IN THE CONSUMER'S 1999 HYUNDAI SONATA, THAT HOLD THE MOTOR UP WERE RUSTED THROUGH ON ONE SIDE AND CRACKED AND RUSTED ON THE OTHER SIDE . *TS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE OF THE RUST PROBLEM. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATES THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE IS PULLED OVER AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WILL RESTART. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT COME ON BEFORE THIS.

WHILE DRIVING MY 1999 HYUNDAI SONATA( VIN# KMHWF35V5XA04162) ON SOUTH AVENUE IN STATEN ISLAND THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WHEEL FELL OFF.DEALER SAID THE CAUSE WAS CRACKED K FRAME, THEN LATER UPON ASKING FOR DAMAGE ESTIMAT SAID THAT IT WAS DUE TO BENT K FRAME. SINCE THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED DECIDED TO TAKE CAR TO MY OWN MECHANIC. UPON EXAMINATION HE SHOWED METHAT THE K FRAME WAS NEITHER CRACKE NOR BENT, IT WAS SIMPLY RUSTED THROUGHOUT AND THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY JUST FELL OFF WHEN THE RUST COULD NO LONGER HOLD IT TO THE FRAME.CALEED BACK BOTH DEALE AND CORPORATE HYUNDAI NOT ONLY FOR REDRESS BUT ALSO TO EXAMINE FOR DEFECT THAT COULD RESULTING INJURY TO OTHERS IN SIMILAR SITUATION. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT THE CAR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANT FOR THE K FRAME AND THAT ANY PROBLEM WHETHER DUE TO ROT, RUST, OR OTHERWISE WAS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. THEY WOULD NOT SEND ANY SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TO EXAMINE THE CAR PERIOD.IF THIS INCIDENT HAD HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURY OR DEATH, HYUNDAI'S REFUSAL TO EVEN TAKE A TIME OUT TO SEE IF THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM INDICATES A CALLOUS DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS WHO MAY BE DRIVING SAME MAKE AND MODEL. THE CAR IS ATILL INTACT AND AVAILABLE FOR WHATEVER YOU MIGHT ADVISE ME TO DO WITH IT. PLEASE RESPOND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS I CAN'T LEAVE IT WHERE IT IS FOREVER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH ANNETTE HYLAND
