Front Suspension Control Arm Problems of Hyundai Accent

Having the vehicle stationary, I jacked it up to do some brake work in the front driver's side. The lower control arms (as well as various frame parts underneath) are extremely rusty. When lowering the vehicle using a floor jack (after doing the repair) the lower control broke. I feel very fortunate this happened in my yard on my property. This vehicle has only 84,000 miles.

I had just gotten off interstate 76 at route 14 after driving the posted speed limit of 70 mph. I came down the ramp and as I applied the brakes, the front left wheel locked up. Thank god it didn't happen on interstate 76. The traffic was very heavy with semi's all around along with regular traffic. I come to find out the front left lower control arm collapsed allowing the tire to come back against the left fender wheel well. It pulled the car to the left and I slid off the ramp onto the berm after trying to steer hard to right. I had to have the car towed. I've owned the car since July 14, 2014. I come to find out the right arm has already been replaced. When I bought the car, it had 80,362 miles. In todays world, that is low miles. If this had happened when I was traveling at 70 mph, someone could have gotten killed. How many more are running around like this. The ball joints appear to be good but the control arm rusted out to the point of weakness and collapsed. The car doesn't even have 100,000 miles on it. They need to recall all of these cars and have the control arms inspected. You cannot control the car even at 10 mph.

I was driving in a traffic at about 15mph and my lower control arm broke in the middle I was lucky that I wasn't in the highway or driving fast so you aren't looking for my complaint. After checking from the bottom even the sub-frame is almost broken,I guess it is a big manufacturing problem for safety I recommend for all owners of Hyundai to check there control arms and sub-frames. (note). I called Hyundai they told it isn't under warranty(10years or 60000milles), I told them it is about safety those parts should be lifetime warranty!!!!!!!!!!!!.

There was a recall on a 96 Hyundai Accent, received letter in mail about two years ago, took car to repair center at that time tech said everything was fine. On Jan 30,2006 was driving car and front control arm snapped pertaining to the recall that was done. Called Hyundai corp was just told to wait for paper work and investigation even though if I were going at a high speed the police officer said the car could have flipped and caused more damage. I hold Hyundai corp liable for not fixing the problem when they did the recall, it seem to me like they were more worried at offering me more services at fee then actually fixing the problem at the time I was a the shop. If they don't act within a timely manner to resolve this problem I believe the government should intervene.
