| 2006 | STRUCTURE: FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS | THIS PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED OCT 26, 2012. MY SON NOTED SOME LOSS OF CONTROL AFTER HITTING A ROAD BUMP. I INSPECTED THE CAR AND NOTED THAT THE REAR DIVER-SIDE WHEEL WAS AT A WEIRD ANGLE. THE CAR WAS MOVED TO MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP ON NOV 1ST. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS SUBFRAME CORROSION EFFECTING THE REAR CONTROL ARM AND MAKING THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HE ADVISED ME TO HAVE MY HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT. I CALLED GARVEY HYUNDAI, OF QUEENSBURY, NY, WHERE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND ARRANGED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED FROM MY SHOP TO GARVEY. HE INFORMS ME THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY PRIOR PROBLEMS WITH SUBFRAME CORROSION AND THIS MODEL YEAR AND NO RECALLS. HE TELLS ME THAT IT WILL COST BETWEEN $1350 AND $2400 TO REPAIR AND ALTHOUGH HYUNDAI IS NOT RESPONSIBLE THEY OFFERED ME $500 TOWARD THE REPAIR WORK. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY A 2006 AND THAT THE REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED IN FULL BY HYUNDAI. THE CAR HAS SPENT WINTERS IN A GARAGE WHEN NOT DRIVEN. I HAVE HAD MULTI ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE, INCLUDING NEEDING TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED (WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY) I SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN SUBFRAME CORROSION ISSUES WITH PRIOR YEARS. *TR |
| 2012 | STEERING | WE PURCHASES THIS VEHICLE IN 2012. WE NOTICED THAT WHEN DRIVING WE HAVE TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL REALLY TIGHT TO STAY IN HIGHWAY LANES. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE STEERING PULLS RIGHT AND LEFT CAUSING US TO WANDER REALLY CLOSE TO OTHERS LANES. WE HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE LAST YEAR AND THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO FIX IT. WE FEEL VERY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS AND FEAR AN ACCIDENT IS WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR |
