The contact owns a 2005 Hyundai Tucson. The contact took the vehicle to vision Hyundai webster (755 ridge rd, webster, NY 14580, (585) 787-2111) for an unknown NHTSA campaign for corrosion on the rear subframe. The dealer took photos to submit to the manufacturer for repair approval. The dealer informed the contact that there was an 80% chance that the subframe could fracture and the vehicle would be undrivable. The dealer offered no guarantees that another vehicle would be provided for the contact if the subframe was fractured beyond repair and would charge the contact for further repairs. The contact called the manufacturer and was assigned a case number and case manager. The manufacturer had not called back and the vehicle was currently unrepaired at the contact's home. The contact continued to drive the vehicle and the dealer refused to provide a loaner vehicle. The failure mileage was 161,000.
Rear subframe is rotted. My 17 year old was driving on the highway, she lost control, it could have been tragic.the car has been towed and sitting in a parking lot for 2 months as I can not find this part! my mechanic said it was a recall with these cars.
Front right control arm broke while driving straight at 40 mph, car swerved off the road. Car had to be towed. Mechanic stated it broke due to rust and rot. Both front control arms were replaced. Car has 115K miles. Other complaints found for same issue. Appears to be no recall for this. If traveling on a highway at higher speeds, it could of been a much worse accident.
I want to have a four wheel alignment service completed. The automotive technician invited me back to view the underside of my vehicle. What I saw was very disturbing. The whole rear left side of my vehicle is rusted something awful. This subframe is totally rusted through and through. I also recently had to replace rusted out lower control arms.
The contact owns a 2005 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the vehicle's subframe and suspension were severely rusted and corroded. The oil pan, fuel tank, fuel tank clamps, rear chassis cradle, and front end suspension (including the struts, sway bars, sway bar clamp, sway bushings) were replaced by an independent mechanic. Garber Hyundai (5450 bay rd, saginaw, mi) and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The contact indicated that the vehicle still experienced front end vibration while driving. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 155,000.
On my 2005 Hyundai Tucson gls (94.5K miles, single owner, garage kept and regularly car washed), lower left control arm was so rusted (holes) to a point that it can be bent with little pressure when pushed against hardware surface. My young adult son was driving the car and it started pulling to side on local state highway. Very very dangerous!! thank god my kids were not in a major crash due to this. The lower right control was rusted as well to a point it may need a replacement in next year or two. Replaced both lower control arms and ball joints at my expense as I figured Hyundai will not cover this. There is just so much amount of rust under this car that is unbelievable. In April 2018, local Hyundai dealer voluntarily replaced the fuel tank bands (tsb#18-01-015) under a recall #952 (no recall notice received from Hyundai) when I went for an oil change, however they made no mention about rusted lower control arms and other rust. I feel that Hyundai and it's dealers are aware of sever rusting on 2005 Hyundai Tucson, but keeping their customers in dark and risking their customers lives!! btw, I own 2006 Honda Odyssey ex-L with 130K miles has solid control arms with minimal to no rust. I think Hyundai may have use a lower quality and low cost material!!
I have a Hyundai that has a severe subframe rust. The dealer states it will only replace the part and nothing more. The subframe is so rusted that the part cannot be attached. They need to replace more than the part on recap to fix it. They have had my vehicle for 3.5 weeks of nothing but the runaround. I need your assistance to get this serious saftey issue fixed. There will be a crash if they don't fix

2005 Hyundai tuscon, rear sub-frame completely rotted out. The garage was shocked to see where the 4 bolts are to hold the crossbar completed broke off! while driving on the highway at 65 mph, and changing lanes the vehicle seemed to have a delayed reaction or like it was "fish-tailing". the incident didn't happen on the highway, however when turning a corner on my street, suddenly a loud rubbing sound and grinding sound happened and the vehicle waved side to side while trying to drive it up the street. The steering was extremely loose and it felt like it was going to crash into the side of the road on the curb. There was rubber from the tire on the inside wheel well on the piece that covered the shocks. Hyundai replacement parts is almost $1000!!!.....updated 10/01/15
