| 1995 | SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT | NHTSA RECALL 02-V-341-000: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, REGISTERED AND OPERATED IN THE STATE O.F NEW YORK. DURING WINTER MONTHS, LARGE QUANTITIES OF SALT ARE USED TO DE-ICE ROADS. THIS ROAD SALT COULD RESULT IN CORROSION OF THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS.

| 2012 | STRUCTURE:BODY | THE METALLIC SILVER PAINT THAT THE COMPANY USED TO COVER THE BLACK PLASTIC HOUSING FOR THE WINDOW AND LOCK BUTTONS EASILY SCRATCHES AND SCRAPES OFF WITH "NORMAL" ROUTINE TOUCHING AND WITH "NORMAL" RESTING OF THE ARMS ON THESE AREA. THE COMPANY REP WON'T ADMIT THAT THEY USED CHEAP PAINT OR DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THESE "HIGH TRAFFIC" AREAS WHEN DECIDING TO USE INFERIOR NON-DURABLE PAINT ON THESE PARTS. I HAVE ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR 6 MONTHS AND THE DPSM FROM HYUNDAI (MARIETTA, GEORGIA - SOUTHERN HEADQUARTERS) IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE BAD MANUFACTURING CHOICE OF USING THE SUBSTANDARD, NON-DURABLE COATING FOR THESE PARTS. THESE METALLIC PAINTED PARTS CANNOT WITHSTAND EVERYDAY "NORMAL" USE, AS THEY BECOME UNATTRACTIVE AND WORN IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. (WITHIN 6 MONTHS - IN MY CASE). *TR |
