Front Suspension Control Arm problems of the 2005 Hyundai Tucson

Front right control arm broke while driving straight at 40 mph, car swirved off the road. Car had to be towed. Mechanic stated it broke due to rust and rot. Both front control arms were replaced. Car has 115k miles. Other complaints found for same issue. Appears to be no recall for this. If traveling on a highway at higher speeds, it could of been a much worse accident.

I want to have a four wheel alignment service completed. The automotive technician invited me back to view the underside of my vehicle. What I saw was very disturbing. The whole rear left side of my vehicle is rusted something awful. This subframe is totally rusted through and through. I also recently had to replace rusted out lower control arms.

On my 2005 Hyundai Tucson GLS (94. 5k miles, single owner, garage kept and regularly car washed), lower left control arm was so rusted (holes) to a point that it can be bent with little pressure when pushed against hardware surface. My young adult son was driving the car and it started pulling to side on local state highway. Very very dangerous!! thank god my kids were not in a major crash due to this. The lower right control was rusted as well to a point it may need a replacement in next year or two. Replaced both lower control arms and ball joints at my expense as I figured Hyundai will not cover this. There is just so much amount of rust under this car that is unbelievable. In April 2018, local Hyundai dealer voluntarily replaced the fuel tank bands (TSB#18-01-015) under a recall #952 (no recall notice received from Hyundai) when I went for an oil change, however they made no mention about rusted lower control arms and other rust. I feel that Hyundai and it's dealers are aware of sever rusting on 2005 Hyundai Tucson, but keeping their customers in dark and risking their customers lives!! btw, I own 2006 Honda odyssey ex-l with 130k miles has solid control arms with minimal to no rust. I think Hyundai may have use a lower quality and low cost material!!.
