| 2001 | STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS | DRIVING 2001 SONATA CAR WAS SWAYING ON ROAD WHEN GOING ON TURNS WAS NOT WORKING WITH STEERING IN TIMELY MANNER. HAD MECHANIC LOOK AT TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. HE FOUND ON PASSENGERS SIDE OF CAR THE LOWER FRAME RUSTED FROM INSIDE OUT WHERE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ATTACHES AND IS NOW ONLY SEMI ATTACHED SO THE ASSEMBLY MOVES AROUND. THERE IS A HUGE HOLE IN FRAME. CAR IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE AS WHOLE ASSEMBLY WILL FALL OFF. AS YOU CAN SEE CAR IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE CAR ONLY HAS 111000. MILES ON IT. THE CAR IS IN MY DRIVEWAY HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN APART ALL PARTS ARE ORIGINAL NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. CAN'T BE DRIVEN AS IS. I NOTICED OTHER COMPLAINTS OF SAME NATURE I DON'T CONSIDER THIS CONDITION ACCEPTABLE IN A 7 YEAR OLD CAR FRAMES SHOULD LAST MANY MORE YEARS. *TR |
