I took my 2000 Hyundai Elantra gls in for an alignment. The alignment could not be performed I was told and shown because the vehicles rear sub frame has multiple holes, is weak and needs to be replaced. I was told that the vehicle is unsafe to drive and will not pass the next Maine inspection. I was told that for the work to be done it would cost over $2,000 dollars. The drivers side rear sub frame has a very large hole.
On 1 July 2010 had daughter's 2000 Hyundai elanta at mechanic's for yaerly pa state -mandated safety inspection. Car failed owing to extensive rust on rear (not front) subframe (not noted in previous inspections) compromising structural integrity of rear suspension and putting driver, occupants, and others at risk of serious injury or death in the event of a catastrophic failure of part.
