The lower control arm completely rusted through. Have pictures. Son driving car on our driveway and car started making noise and started pulling hard to the left. Drove back to house to inspect and lower control arm on drivers side had rusted apart allowing tire to be uncontrollable. Contacted Hyundai and they say there is no problem. Several instances of this same problem on the internet, with many involving crashes. This is a very serious issue and could cause serious injury or death if it happens at road speed. Lucky for us it was on our driveway.

The lower control arm rusted and broke allowing the wheel to break lose and tilt in at the bottom. Had this happened at highway speeds the results likely would have been loss of control and crash. It's a defect Hyundai is aware of but failed to notify all owners. And Hyundai is shorting the recall to certain states blaming the issue on road salt corrosion. While in fact it is a huge problem that Hyundai is ignoring and leaving their consumers in harms way. There has to be many Hyundai vehicle owners driving today in cars that are ticking time bombs. People will be hurt or killed if action is not taken very soon. All vehicles effected by this same manufacturing flaw are very dangerous to operate.

Luckily driving slowly. . . Applied my brakes and the passenger wheel turned inward causing the car to hop. The lower control arm on that side had rotted and failed leaving no control to steer that wheel. Car was towed and repaired at a aaa repair station. Have the rotted part(the lower control arm). I never received a recall for this from Hyundai.
