Suspension Noise problems of the 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe

Driving at 25 mph, there was a loud noise and vehicle started swaying violently in the rear. Luckily no other cars were around and I hadn't gotten on the freeway yet. After tow, discovered the trailing arm cracked the suspension. This was supposedly "corrected" during previous recall. Obviously not. Dealer won't look at it stating they have new owners. 3 people with 70 years of repair experience have never seen anything like this. Vehicle is not drivable, opened case with Hyundai, not expecting much. Vehicle also had to have engine cradle replaced (Hyundai did replace at no expense) however they screwed more up and it had to be returned to fix their mistakes. Vehicle was "inspected" front to rear and was "ok", twice. That was end of 2015. This corrosion could not happen in that short amount of time. Everything is rusted to almost beyond recognition underneath.

On 6/17/14 my cars front right wheel fell off. I found two recalls on the internet for the front and rear suspension system. The car was towed/repaired for 782. 00. In July 2014, Hyundai made an inspection of the work. I asked for reimbursement for the recall but was declined as not being within a campaign. Recently, the rear brakes, rotors, and caliper were replaced (for the second time). . Afterward, a noise I heard became louder. On 8/11/16 the noise was diagnosed. It was found that new shocks were needed, and "rear passenger lower control arm is starting to rot from rust and cause noise. " I was told to have it repaired by Hyundai. I bought the car from national auto sales in glassboro, NJ. Hyundai apparently did not know I am the owner of the car, and I never received any recall notices from Hyundai. The vehicle has had engine and sensor problems and many others. I want to avoid another accident. Hyundai should repair recall #NHTSA 09v123000 free of charge. The front suspension is now campaign 124 as of 10/16/14, four months after the accident. I am seeking reimbursement for the cost of 782. 00 to have my vehicle towed and repaired. Please urge Hyundai to recognize a campaign for the rear suspension for my vehicle so that I can have this additional situation rectified to prevent an accident from taking place again. I believe that almost all of the repairs to the Hyundai I own have been recalled and I should not have had to pay. I understand that it was found that cars manufactured in alabama were all part of many recalls and obviously other plants vehicles are too. The expenses should not have been my responsibility. The repairs cost roughly 5600. 00 since November 2011 when I bought the car. For 5000. 00. The air conditioner as well never worked. That repair would cost another 400. 00.

The contact owns a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that while driving at speeds of 25 mph, she heard a squeaking noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where a diagnostic test was performed. The failure was contributed to corrosion on the rear suspension arm. The contact verified that she had previously received notification of NHTSA recall campaign id number 09v123000 (suspension: rear) and was advised by the dealer that the failure was directly related to the recall. The dealer stated that the parts needed to make the recall repairs were not available and that the vehicle was deemed as unsafe to operate. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000 and the approximate current mileage was 160,000.
