| Lost control of the steering of the vehicle but was able to avoid an accident and stop on the side of the road. upon visual inspection, noticed that front driver's side control arm was rusted through and disintegrated. wheel was basically detached from the car and folding up under the wheel well. this is a recall item in all northern states because the material rusts when exposed to road salt. because i'm in north carolina, the recall doesn't apply to my car. however, i live in the mountains of nc where the vehicle is exposed to road salt throughout the winter season. this vehicle needs to be included in the recall, as it's a serious safety issue. *tr | |||

| After 1 1/2 months of driving this brand new car i began having problems with the steering. the car would wonder in different directions on the road and freeway. i also had steering wheel shimmy. they have aligned my car at least five times on different occasions and forced balanced the car twice to no avail. in march of 2003 an independent service evaluated my car and found both tie rod ends (outers)were extremely lose and needed to be replaced. because of the faulty rods both the front tires are now cupped on the outer edges and the dealership refuses to replace them. hyundai performed the work and the problems got a little better, but have since gotten worse again. i am so fed up with this car and need help! i have filed complaint with hyundai customer service, but the problems still exist! | |||

| The hubcaps are soley retained to the rims by a plastic split ring retaining washer, upon making the first tire rotation the consumer discovered that the washers had melted on the front lug nuts, the remaining unmelted section fell apart while handling, the consumer believes that the high temperature generated by the front brakes caused the washers to melt. nlm | |||
