| Description of the problem | I took my car in for the rear crossmember recall in 2016. Even though it was rusted they did not replace it however the did replace the front cross member because it had holes in it and was rusted. They replaced rusted brake and fuel lines (which i paid for) the car has never been right since and now the power steering lines are rusted and the car is not able to be driven. I am the original owner. The car has 87,787 original miles on it. Always garage kept, not driven in the winter. There is no reason this car should be in the condition it is in. With the car now out of warranty by a few months hyundai refuses to do anything even though they should have replaced corroded lines and other parts last year when it was under warranty. We also own a 2006 buick which was driven in the winter and it does not have one speck of rust on it. This is a known hyundai issue. I shouldn't have had to pay for the last repair, certainly not this one. The only repairs made have been to corrosion of the underside of the car. The body is completely intact with no rush. |
