Failure Date: 08/08/2020

I was driving my car when I started hearing noises and the car started steering to the right. When I got my car home , I discovered that the front suspension cross member subframe had come loose because the bolts had completely rusted out and the cross member had rusted. I discovered that my vehicle had a recall #xg350 in July 2009. I purchased my Hyundai in the fall of 2009, but did not receive any recall notice. Is my Hyundai still eligible for recall repair? we like our Hyundai and it has been one of the best cars we have owned. The body and motor are still in good shape. What do I do next?.

4 Suspension Noise problem

Failure Date: 07/29/2010

There was not a crash, having major issues with the front suspension, have taken to numerous mechanics for inspection and they can not find anything wrong. . Feels like the wheels are going to fold under and when going around a corner with pavement level changes, it pulled dramatically. . Its going to cause an accident, and surely cause for recall. A recall for the suspension for vehicles in the salt states only. . . Does not make sense when im reading some of the issues folks are having issues can be caused just by faulty workmanship, very poor quality. And after contacting Hyundai they mentioned mine can not be part of it cause im not located on the east coast. This sounds odd, im having same issues . .
