| Description of the problem | My vehicle started handling funny. Seemed to be slipping and sliding and did not seem to have control over vehicle. This was very concerning seeing i was driving 55 miles an hour at 5:00 am on a country road. Took it to my mechanic and he stated that the sub frame that holds the engine in place is totally rusted away and was falling apart. There was a recall on different hyundai vehicles for the same problem but, my santa fe was not included. I am having the same issue that owners of the sonota were having and they had a recall. My vehicle is parked right now because it is unsafe to drive. |
