Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings Problems of Hyundai Elantra

When braking the brake pedal seemed "soft" and after about 40 miles of driving it went all the way to the floor. I had reached home by then. There were drops of fluid on the pavement after I backed in and parked. I had the car towed to the Hyundai dealer and inspection revealed that not only both brake lines had rusted through, but, the fuel lines had also rusted through and were leaking.

Brake lines get corroded by the holding bracket screws probably because of not water resistant type of metal and start leaking.

On 06/19/14, I purchased a 2013 model car at rick case dealership, lauderhill, florida. Odometer showed 7413 miles. Supposedly certified and with 10 yrs warrantee, etc. I drive some 7000 miles/yr so vehicle stays in driveway most of the time. Very seldom do I take it our on the highway. At about 7715 or so miles of slow, street driving, I take it on the highway and notice a loud racket, banging noise. I take it in the dealer. Dealer says they found "a couple of loose bolts" which they tightened and that was it. They returned the vehicle to me. About a week later,[around 7850 miles] I take it again on the road. It took about 15 miles or so of 70+ m/h driving for the racket to show itself again. I take it once more to the dealer. This time I pointed our that I had noticed something unusual with the alignment of the rear,left shock absorber. Upon inspection the dealer tells me the car has been in a serious accident of some sort as the undercarriage is all banged up, the absorber is misaligned, the brake line is hanging precariously close to the tire, etc and that I must have caused this problem. [their gall and audacity is amazing!], as a result, I have to assume all costs!. They clearly want to take advantage of me, the customer. Sales manager says that I "should have inspected" the car before I bought it. . Again, the gall of this man! I saw no proof that the car had been "thoroughly inspected" as he claims. I swear under penalty of perjury that this car was like that when I bought it. I contend that the dealer had full knowledge of this and willingly and wantonly sold it to me in the hope that I do not notice maybe?. Finally, when I told the service manager the danger involved in driving this car, his solution was to "keep it in the garage" until I'm able to pay for the fix. . . Again, the gall of these guys!. I made them write everything.
