| Description of the problem | I took my sonata in to a independent mechanic for the annual state inspection and was told that the front sub- frame was rusted/corroded and would need replaced. I was researching this on the computer and saw that this is not an uncommon safety issue and called hyundai customer service and they took my info and told me that my car was not covered, but i could at my own expense take it to an authorized dealer and have it evaluated. They gave me a case # 10454251, i told them i was going to file a complaint with the nhtsa. My car has 114,000 plus miles on it. |
