Steering and stability unstable. Mechanic tells me that the rear sub frame is rusty and cracked. The entire frame was replaced around 2010 because of a recall. When you hit a bump lose traction and becomes unstable. Want to know if the replacement frame has a warranty. Want to keep the car still runs great. 170,000 miles.

When driving to work the wheel start to pull. When I got to work I took a look at the frame there was a 2 inch crack in one side and a 1/4 inch by 20 inch crack in the other side. When I touch it the frame was rotten.

My Hyundai dealer has refused to honor their 100,000miles, 10 years warranty" many times that I bring the car to be fixed under the warranty since the car was only 8years old and 76,000 miles since 2008. They refuse to fix the problems that I experienced by saying my car is not listed in any recall campaign. Unfortunately this year, on 10/11/12, I took my car for an annual state inspection for 2000 Hyundai Sonata and it fails the safety inspection. Here is what it says: ***vehicle memo*** vehicle is unsafe to drive. . . Rear sub-frame has hole rotted through. . . Due to the current financial situation, I don't know how I will get this car fixed because the car is now 115,000miles and 12 years old and I don't know if they will fix it. They have continuously refused to fix my car under warranty even when it was clearly within the warranty period and I was lucky then that I have been able to pay the fixes out of pocket but I don't have the luxury of paying out of pocket this time. I am in need of miracles now.

I own a 2000 Hyundai Sonata. While driving my car at about 20-30 mph my sub-frame collapsed which caused my front drivers side tire to come completely off. When the subframe collapsed it fell on my axle which damaged. While there was a recall on the subframe my axle was not covered even thought the subframe collapsing is a direct result of my tire and axle detaching from my car. After voicing my concern Hyundai stated to me that they do not cover subsequently damage and that was nothing else to be said or done. This to me is a bunch of crap! if the subframe was not defective I would of never endured these problems with my vehicle. I have not had any major problems with my car until now. I have contacted Hyundai's consumer relations and they have done nothing no one is taking responsibility. I will contact my attorney general about this. This is not fair! thank god I was not seriously hurt because I would have been on my own. As they said they do not cover subsequently damages.

2000 Hyundai Sonata. Nhtsa campaign no. 09v124000 Hyundai campaign no. 089. The consumer's daughter was driving when the front frame broke causing the body of the vehicle to fall to the pavement, which also caused the front wheel to become disconnected from the transaxle. The vehicle was towed to a collision center. The collision center contacted the dealership to get an estimate for the repair of the vehicle and it was determined that the estimate was roughly equal to the value of the vehicle and therefore, repairs were not recommended. The vehicle was subsequently scrapped. The consumer purchased another vehicle on March 14,2009. On January 12, 2010, the consumer received a recall notice for the vehicle that had previously been deemed as not cost effective to repair. The consumer is seeking reimbursement under the recall noting the vehicle was not repaired because the damage caused by the frame collapse while driving caused more damage to the vehicle than its value. Updated 04/02/10.

I have a 2000 Sonata with 128,165 miles with a sub-frame rust problem. The right side lower control a-arm is separating from the sub-frame with more than one rust hole evident in the sub-frame. It was discovered by our local alignment shop. Took the car to them for an alignment because the car pulls to the right and tires squeal while negotiating right turns. Upon their inspection they pointed out the rust and a-arm separation from the sub-frame as well as pointed out how the wheel actually was sitting more than an inch rearward. After they pointed that out it was very obvious the wheel was not even close to being centered in the wheel well. Nothing has been repaired as I am researching options available; specifically to see if Hyundai will correct this safety issue.

Suspension system suddenly collapsed on right side while I was driving in parking lot in fairfax, va. Car would not move. Had to be towed to Hyundai dealer. Dealer stated that tie rod and engine cradle damaged. I had originally thought that I had hit something during a recent thunderstorm when tree branches fell, but now I know otherwise. Have read reports on the internet of numerous incidences like this one. I was lucky I was not on the road.

When I was at the grade school picking up my daughter, the car started to lurch and then stopped. I got out and the front tire on the passenger side was twisted to the side.

Upon taking it to our automotive repair shop, he called us the next day to say that the front right frame cradle had rusted in half. We went to take a look and yes it was rusted through the cradle with a spot the size of an orange the frame had broken in half. We have finally gotten to the Hyundai dealer. They have said that they will fix the axle and the frame. But the 2 front tires are now not any good 1 of which was new, they will not replace either of them. They said that tire dealer that put the new one on should of noticed the problem and so it is their fault. Also when the tow truck went to pull the car up on the flat bed the front right tire gave way and bent under the car in the process doing damage to the front fender, this also Hyundai said that it was the fault of the tow truck driver and that they would not pay to fixed it. As of today July 9, 2008 I am not sure what is going to be fixed or not.
