The sub frame in the front rusted out just like the salt belt 1999-2004 the car has only two spots of rust at the back fender. No other rust I took it to a service station because it was pulling to the right he lifted the car and the sub frame is rotted out just like they did on the 1999-2004 but Hyundai will not fix because its a 2005 I think the part is the same as the 2004 and they cant tell me that and wont help me.
Failed inspection in part due to front subframe rust through. Called Hyundai and spoke to a claims rep. By the name of nathan & tier2 rep tim. Both told me there were recalls on Sonatas up to 2004 for this problem, but not 2005. The 2005 model is the same model as 2004. The model year didn't change till 2006 so why was 2005 excluded from the recall? my car has 120k miles on it. Both told me it wasn't under recall or warranty, and that Hyundai would not be able to do anything for me, . How is it the a car 11 years old has a bad frame? hope you will be able to help us.
