Steering and stability unstable. Mechanic tells me that the rear sub frame is rusty and cracked. The entire frame was replaced around 2010 because of a recall. When you hit a bump lose traction and becomes unstable. Want to know if the replacement frame has a warranty. Want to keep the car still runs great. 170,000 miles

While slowing down to make a turn on side road, the lower left control arm pulled completely out of the frame. Inspection after found large hole rusted completely through the frame rail. Inspected right side and frame has same type of rusted and missing frame segments. Thankfully this happened at low speed and not on the interstate where outcome could have been very bad. Doing some research I have found that this appears to have been a known problem with this model for several years beginning with 1999 model.

While driving my 2000 Hyundai Sonata on good road and approaching a traffic light in the left through-lane of a multilane street, I made a quick stop (not and emergency stop) when the light turned yellow. The road was in good condition and dry, and the outside temperature was about about 80 degrees F. upon making this stop the car pulled unusually sharply to the right - if there had been a car in the right lane, I would have hit it. After this stop, the front tire(s) made unusual squeeling noises upon turning, and the steering felt unusual and shakey. I drove the car directly (about a mile) to the place we were visiting in las vegas and the next morning took the car directly to a Hyundai dealer. Upon inspection the dealer found that the front suspension frame crossmember (front subframe) had a corrosion hole through the front subbframe and the front subframe had failed, causing the right front (passenger) tire to move out of position and sitting at an angle. The dealer's advice was that this was a safety problem, and it could further fail and result in loss of steering control. They advised that I do not drive the car until this this front subframe was replaced. This is a replaceable piece - which was ordered, and replacement planned. The car was left with the Hyundai dealer, and not driven further. This situation is essentially identical to NHTSA reference number 13V354000 for the real suspension for some Hyundai vehicles that led to Hyundai recall campaign 113 approved in Sept 2013. Hyundai records show this car was purchased in Illinois (one of the approved 113-recall states) and it was driven there for about 4 years or so. I am the second owner. Hyundai has issued technical service bulletin campaign number 12-01-029 dated October 2012 (supersedes bulletin 09-01-020-2) which addresses this front subframe problem, but, I am told, it is not an approved recall.

My Hyundai dealer has refused to honor their 100,000miles, 10 years warranty" many times that I bring the car to be fixed under the warranty since the car was only 8years old and 76,000 miles since 2008. They refuse to fix the problems that I experienced by saying my car is not listed in any recall campaign. Unfortunately this year, on 10/11/12, I took my car for an annual state inspection for 2000 Hyundai Sonata and it fails the safety inspection. Here is what it says: ***vehicle memo*** vehicle is unsafe to drive...rear sub-frame has hole rotted through... due to the current financial situation, I don't know how I will get this car fixed because the car is now 115,000miles and 12 years old and I don't know if they will fix it. They have continuously refused to fix my car under warranty even when it was clearly within the warranty period and I was lucky then that I have been able to pay the fixes out of pocket but I don't have the luxury of paying out of pocket this time. I am in need of miracles now.

- Springfield, MA, USA

2000 Hyundai Sonata. NHTSA campaign no. 09V124000 Hyundai campaign no. 089. The consumer's daughter was driving when the front frame broke causing the body of the vehicle to fall to the pavement, which also caused the front wheel to become disconnected from the transaxle. The vehicle was towed to a collision center. The collision center contacted the dealership to get an estimate for the repair of the vehicle and it was determined that the estimate was roughly equal to the value of the vehicle and therefore, repairs were not recommended. The vehicle was subsequently scrapped. The consumer purchased another vehicle on March 14,2009. On January 12, 2010, the consumer received a recall notice for the vehicle that had previously been deemed as not cost effective to repair. The consumer is seeking reimbursement under the recall noting the vehicle was not repaired because the damage caused by the frame collapse while driving caused more damage to the vehicle than its value.
