| I purchased my 1999 sonata from a used car dealer & have had numerous problems with the car, its been a nightmare, one problem after another!!!! the crankshaft sensor had to be completely replaced because the component had severely melted, issues with the transmission, abs/airbag warning light on, & have had to change out the half shaft on both drivers/passenger side, numerous tires, brakes but the most severe of all the problems which puts my safety, my 12 yr old son & fiance's safety, along with family/friend's safety at risk is the complete corrosion of the subframe i too to a mechanic today & he told me to not drive this car for anything because it will result in an accident where i can potentially end up hurting myself or other innocent bystanders becuase hyundai made a defective subframe especially for us that live & drive in hazardous conditions of the wintery/icy elements for 5+months out of the year in upstate new york!!! i will be calling hyundai's customer assistance ctr & fuccillo hyundai(local dealer)& the attorney general for new york. i cannot imagine what could've happened if i drove over a pot hole resulting in my tire(s) falling off especially if i was on the expressway doing 55mph my loved ones or other's loved ones, & myself couldve been severely injured or worse dead due to hyundai using a subframe that would severely corrode the subframe especially in the snow belt states!!!!! i just hope that i do not have a difficult time having hyundai fix the problem in a speedy fashion without trying to strong arm me inot paying for repairs that i am not responsible for because it is an inconvenience being without a vehicle now until it gets repaired. | |||
