problem #1

Sep 292013

Sedona LX 3.8L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 111,000 miles

We purchased this vehicle used in January 2013. It passed NH safety inspection when purchased and again in early August at its annual inspection. On September 29, as my wife was making a slow speed right turn into a parking lot, there was a loud rubbing noise and it shook violently. After having it towed to the service center, it was found that the left front control arm had rusted and failed. While it was scary enough to have this happen a slow speed, I cringe at what would have happened if it had failed on the highway, as we were supposed to be on the Interstate that morning with a full van including 2-3 children. Luckily we changed our plans earlier in the week and decided not to make the trip. I will be notifying the manufacturer and NHTSA about this. Seeing how there have been other instances of this problem, and similar problems on other Hyundia/Kia vehicles, I feel that they should look into this and issue the appropriate resolution. I have been driving for 35 years and have owned a lot of vehicles older and with more mileage than this one and I have never had a control arm break.
