| Description of the problem | The car is registered to me and my daughter uses it. She went to get an oil change and was advised that there was a serious situation with corrosion in the front coil spring and it is dangerous to drive as it could cause a tire to blow out. A week later i received an "interim notice" of an important safety recall from hyundai. Apparently there is no remedy at this time. I called two dealers and they have no parts or instructions to remedy the situation at this time. When will there be a remedy? Hopefully it happens before a fatality occurs! |
