Body problems of the 2008 Hyundai Elantra

The entire undercarriage of the vehicle is rusted, allowed for 3 sections is not sufficient as it does not accurately account for the damage. The fuel suspension is also affected from the known corrosion and rust issue. I have had to make many costly repairs in the last 4 years and I did not know about this issue with the vehicle I have now had for 17years. Had I , I would have done my own repairs to ensure the unit was safe and operational and not only relied on Hyundai's very delayed and subpar solution - considering my unit is a 2008 and the campaign did not come out until may 2014, of which I know for a fact my car was never listed.

Leaving work I heard a noise come from the car as I was leaving parking lot of the hospital which has a ten mph speed limit after being parked for 9 hours. I realized I felt like I was siting loopsided. So I turned off into my employers front lot to inspect the car. I walked around noticed the drivers side rear was lower. Tires looked ok so I looked underneath and say this rusty dragging strut/cross member piece. . Had to have car towed as I knew it was unsafe to drive as didn't know what else it damage tires, shocks etc. The car visually appeared to be dragging in the rear on drivers side due to this. This part was recalled by Hyundai in 2014 due to corrosion. .

2008 Hyundai Elantra has a know issue regarding the subframe �campaign tt1�. My Elantra's subframe is rotting and has holes rotted through in a few areas. It's a 12 year old car that is otherwise in good condition. Hyundai won't help since I had this recall �fixed� originally in 2014. They reissued the campaign in 2017. I bought this car new. It's been a reliable car and it still runs and looks good. But since my frame is rotting away, I won't be able to pass another inspection and the car will be unsafe to drive.

While driving home on the highway after a rainy day, the abs light and parking brake lights came on. I checked the parking brake; it was not engaged. The car seemed to be braking on its own as I continued to drive. Upon arriving home, there was some smoke coming from the left front wheel which, after it dissipated, I assumed to be hot, locked up brakes. About an hour later my housemate called to me from the living room telling me my car was on fire and to call 9-1-1. The car was parked in front of my house, under a magnolia tree. The flames engulfed the entire front end of the car, and were about 4-5ft high. The fire department came and hosed the car down, taking about an hour to put out the blaze. The front tires were flat, had melted, and the entire front end was decimated. The drivers side of the windshield had shattered from the fire, and the drivers side floorboard had burned through to the cabin. The entire cabin is damaged from the smoke, the drivers side visor melted through. While there is damage to the entire front end, the drivers side is worse, and the drivers side of the engine compartment appears to have the most damage. There is no visible fuse box or battery after the fire.

Door handles keep falling off, even after being repaired at shop. Driver door handle is one of those that fell off and can't get inside car now.

Takata recall. Driver lost control of the car and over corrected and hit a tree which pushed her into another tree. The front end of the car was wrecked and the air bags did not deploy. We were never contacted about the recall on the car so we had no knowledge that the air bags were defective.
