| I own a 1996 hyundai elantra. my ex purchased this vehicle from a used car lot. we have had the car for over 3 years. on monday morning i was on my way to the dentist and noticed a very loud loose bumping sound..i know that probably doesn't make sense....upon my quick return home i noticed that the driver rear tire (the entire thing) seemed to be loose and wobbly...i had a friend come and take a look to see what was wrong. after jacking the car up, with the car in the air and the tire still on the ground he thought that the strut was broken. so after further investigation, it was noticed that the strut mounting t the frame had fallen thru a rusted hole in the frame of my car. distraught as i was, and with no help from the hyundai dealer in the louisville area, i was out of luck on how to rectify this situation. now i am still paying for a car that i can never drive. i am wanting to know if any other hyundai owners have this problem. i mean the car is not even 10 years old...and the frame is rusting out on me.....there are no other rust spots on the car anywhere....i am just trying to understand why my car is broke and no one is able to help me fix it.*ak | |||
