Upper rear control arm is connected to the subframe of the car and it-??s rotted/ rusted out where the bushing goes to hold the control arm in place. Where am I supposed to mount the bushing now since it-??s no longer there.
Control arm completely separated/ broke from the subframe. Called Hyundai as mechanic said this should have been included under a recall that came out several years ago for "because of a potential corrosion risk involving the front sub-frame...corrosion may progress and the forward mounting of the lower control arm may detach from the sub-frame. If that happens, the vehicle may lose driver power to the wheels. The front wheel may make contact with the fender or wheel well." "separation of the forward mounting of the lower control arm may increase the risk of a crash" this is exactly what happened to my 17 year old daughter yesterday and fortunately she did not crash as she was not in a populated area, but it could have been much worse. Why is this particular 2001 Hyundai Sonata not covered under this recall. It needs to be covered and covered asap. Please assist. Vehicle is currently at columbia family auto care in jessup md 301-362-0777
The contact owns a 2001 Hyundai Sonata. While making a right turn, there was an abnormal noise coming from the front passenger side tire. It was discovered that the control arm had fractured from the frame, which was crumbling due to rust and corrosion. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing and then towed to the contact's residence and to the dealer (Hyundai of chantilly, 14848 stonecroft center ct, chantilly, va 20151, (703) 480-9000). The contact was not sure if the vehicle was included or excluded from NHTSA campaign number: 09V124000 (suspension). The manufacturer was to provide a follow-up response to determine their solution for the dealer's repair. The vehicle was unable to be driven due to the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 133,000.
Was informed approximately 2006-2007 by good samaritan, bill osterhage, that his daughter's 2002 Hyundai front tire rod axial broke D/T major corrosive issues with frame defects. He contacted an attorney for class action law suit to be started D/T safety issues to prevent death to others & repair frame to rob carey at rob.carey @att.net & amyw@hbsslaw.com. From 2006- until 2009 during routine oil changes, I asked kerry Hyundai in alexandria, ky to check my frame D/T visual rust & about recall. Hyundai finally admitted after multiple complaints during routine maintenance in a letter to me on 6/24/09 that there was a recall on 4/16/09 and my frame to be replaced. 8/15/16 I lost control of my 2001 Sonata, Hyundai while driving on expressway during rush hour D/T major corrosive issues causing right rear tire rod to break. I did two 360 degree turns from fast lane to slow lane. Grace of god I didn't crash or cause any accidents. Filled report with Hyundai dealer & corporation 8/16/16. Corporation stated that there is corrosive settlement for front frame and another for the rear frame. Has been two weeks and Hyundai corporation has not contacted me back, but stated compliant alone with pictures taken by dealer has been sent to "regional agent". manager of service department from dealership at kerry Hyundai alexandria, ky, jeff, stated "the matter is out of his hands and representative from Hyundai corporation is to handle matter. Also, jeff, manager of service department at kerry Hyundai, stated "damage to frame cost more than what care is worth". mechanic at kerry Hyundai stated that "Hyundai has major issue with frames, this is the third one this month, of August, that has come in D/T corrosive defects, and one of the cars was only three years old". please do something before someone is killed. Life is a precious gift and no monetary amount can replacement it.

The subframe has rusted out on the right side of vehicle causing it to no longer be drivable until the subframe is replaced. I was pulling into my driveway when the vehicle became inoperable because it turns out subframe had rusted through.

The dealer diagnosed that as a result of the under body rust, both the brake lines and the fuel lines were corroded. The dealer was in the process of repairing the under body, brake and fuel lines. The manufacturer assisted with the repair of the under body only and denied assistance with repairing the brakes and fuel lines. The failure and the current mileage was 162,000.
While driving my 2001 Hyundai Sonata, my right front lower control arm broke off, separating my wheel / it collapsed. The tow truck driver told me this and showed me how severe the sub frame was corroded. It broke off, he never saw anything like it. Please help. Is this a recall that I didn't get?
