| Description of the problem | Noticed my vehicle was pulling to the right and just felt wrong when i drove, took it to a mechanic to check the alignment and brakes (because it was time for pads). The mechanic was shocked to find the strut on the passenger side had rusted and broken completely. Hyundai was going to charge me to check it out and repair because i was outside of my warranty. The mechanic told me to check for a recall since it was not a common issue, there was not a recall so he suggested i file a complaint. |
