| 2007 | STEERING | 1) EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE: I WAS PULLING OUT OF A LEVEL PARKING SPOT AT ABOUT 2 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD SNAP AND MY STEERING WENT OUT OF CONTROL. 2) THE FAILURE: THE RIGHT FRONT TIE-ROD BROKE! THE INNER TIE-ROD END DISCONNECTED FROM THE OUTER TIE-ROD END! THE THREADS ON BOTH THE INNER AND OUTER TIE-RODS WERE STRIPPED AND THEY PULLED APART COMPLETELY! THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WAS COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM THE STEERING MECHANISM AND WAS RANDOMLY FLOATING/TURNING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. I TURNED THE WHEELS LEFT, BUT THAT WHEEL WAS STILL TURNED RIGHT! THE CAR WAS DRAGGING THAT WHEEL AROUND AS I TRIED TO DRIVE FORWARD! THE TIRE MADE A TERRIBLE SCREECHING NOISE. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT 70 MPH (I JUST GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY) THE CAR WOULD HAVE FLIPPED END-OVER-END KILLING/INJURING ME AND THOSE AROUND ME! 3) WHAT WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE: THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. HYUNDAI REPLACED BOTH THE INNER AND OUTER TIE-RODS AND DID A REALIGNMENT. THE HYUNDAI DEALER REFUSED TO GIVE ME THE OLD PARTS. *TR |
