Front Suspension problems of the 2002 Hyundai Elantra

2002 Elantra gt made r turn from full stop onto chester pike. Heard grinding from passenger front wheel. Car came to complete stop. Front wheel fell off. Fractured suspension arm was seen. Axle failure was found when care was inspected. Recall was issued 7/10/09. I am the original owner and have not received a recall notice. I do receive weekly ads from Hyundai suggesting trade in, so they know where I am. I now need to jump through hoops to get Hyundai to pay, as I did not find out about the recall until my car was towed to and repaired by an independent garage. Police were on scene with lights flashing to protect disabled vehicle until tow truck arrived. No report was filled as there was no accident or injury.

Air bag light is on when car is on and started. Also when turning left or right my car is making cranking noises up in the front of the car.

2002 Hyundai Elantra, consumer took vehicle to a local garage for an inspection, on 6-20-05, and mechanic rotated/ balanced tires, and replaced two tires with new ones. Also, replaced fuel injection system/ replaced a gasket/ front wheels were aligned/ steering wheel was centered, and they checked caster and camber angles. Then mechanic told consumer that vehicle passed NY state inspection. The consumer started traveling from NY to va on 6-30, and on 7-2 vehicle stalled, check engine light came on, vehicle had completely stopped although engine was still running, oil gauge warning light came on, it went up to highest point. This was first time vehicle stalled. The consumer had the vehicle towed to a mechanic who ran a diagnostic test on the vehicle and told consumer that he should take it to a dealership because of the warranty. Dealership ran a diagnostic and then replaced radiator and radiator pump. They told consumer that was reason for vehicle overheating and stalling. This was after consumer was told by dealership that vehicle was safe to drive. So consumer traveled back home, roads were wet and it was late in da. The check engine light came on again. As soon as light came on the speed reduced but the engine itself was still on but, the vehicle was not able to move at a safe speed and stalled. Consumer's and his family lives were in dangered although there were no actual accidents. Vehicle was towed to the dealership. They told consumer that problem was with transmission. There was a hose not connected properly which caused vehicle to leak transmission fluid.

The steering wheel and front wheels shake above 65 mph which can also be felt throughout the front of the car. I feel the excessive shake could lead to a loss of control of the vehicle.
