"takata recall" I thought I needed a new inner tie rod on my 2005 Hyundai Sonata. When I went to the shop the mechanic told me you have bigger problems. " your sub-frame on this car is rusted out and the car is unsafe to drive." With that information, I called the Hyundai support number, they gave me a reference number, I then went to the Hyundai dealership to get an estimate for repairs and to see if Hyundai would repair the subframe. The dealership told me that Hyundai corporation refused to pay any goodwill money to fix the car but they did tell me, " our advice: " is to not drive the car, it is unsafe." This is not a mechanical issue this is a safety issue, and even though I did not find any recalls for 2005 subframe, it was obvious that Hyundai knew they did have a slew of Sonatas that had a serious subframe corrosion problem. In my bit of research, there has been a definite problem with the Sonatas and the subframe rotting out, all different years and mileage and age that Hyundai did repair the cars that I found on edmonds.com and on the internet.
