Description of the problem	Took my 2005 hyundai santa fe in to the shop for an oil change/tune up and was told the frame on the vehicle is almost entirely rusted out in two different locations, the front passenger area near the engine and the driver side area below the front door. The car is 10 years old and i do live in a salt belt state, but i see that there were recalls for the 2003 hyundai santa fe for similar frame rust issues, so i now recommend that the recall investigation be extended to the 2005 models as well. I wonder if i am only narrowly avoiding loss of life for myself and my 4year old daughter because of this rust issue? I can only imagine what may have happened, had waited just one more month before having the undercarriage of the car reviewed by a professional? I shudder to think of it!! At any rate, this will be my last hyundai purchase since they clearly have not met my own personal standards for safety. I hope you will agree with my own opinion on the lack of safety of this vehicle (in salt belt states) by beginning an investigation into the later model santa fe frame rust issues, as well. Thank you very much

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
