My 2002 Hyundai Sonata failed stare inspection due to right front rot on subframe. I contacted my local Hyundai dealer and they are going to repair problem. Until then, it will not pass inspection. I have already received a citation for it not being inspected . I am left with an uninspected and rotted car until they can take it in. Hyundai does not give out loaner cars!.
