Description of the problem | Rust on the left rear frame that needs to be repaired before is fails, i am not sure what the outcome will be when this part of frame fails. Hyundai has years of rust problems that they don't seem to want to fix at the dealer level or the manufacturing level unless you have thousands of dollars for repairs or pay for rust proofing at your expense when you buy the car, they need a good fine slapped on them to wake them up, maybe then they will stop making cars that they what you to scrap after 11 years and 144,000 miles. This car was serviced by the dealer where it was bought, by the book and the book and the dealer should warn that rust not lack of service will cause it to fail. Please do something to stop the rust parade coming from korea. Look up hyundai rust problems, this has been happening over 16 year time period, make them repair this at their expense and maybe figure out have to prevent it before it does some real harm to the public. |
