general problems of the 2003 Hyundai Elantra

Tl- the contact owns a 2003 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that her right control arm had become defective which cause difficulty while steering at various speeds. The contact then called superior Hyundai south(238 w mitchell Ave, cincinnati, OH 45232) where she made an appointment and was informed to check if there were any recalls on her vehicle. Upon investigation, the contact linked her failure to NHTSA campaign number: 09v125000(suspension); however, her vehicle was not included in the recall. The contact also stated that upon starting the vehicle, the vehicle would stall out without warning upon depressing the accelerator. The contact then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with a defective O2 sensor which was then replaced. Despite the O2 sensor being replaced, the failure persisted. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of either failures. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 153,000. Jo.

My daughter was driving home from school and the strut/axle broke and caused her to skid off the rode, luckily she was not injured and was able to come to a stop in an empty lot. The tire was ruined and the fender was also damanged. We were able to get this fixed at the repair shop, for just under $500, however now the vehicle will not pass inspection due to the subframe being deteriorated. Upon researching the cost to replace this, I found that the vehicle has had several recalls, and wow both of these were on the list. My concern is that the vehicle is 2003 and we are not the original owners. I am concerned now that the other recalls may also affect thei vehicle. The safety of my daughter and grandson is top priority. What can you help me with. Can we still use the recall to have the vehicle repaired?.
