Failure Date: 01/10/2022

At first brakes were making noise so I went to replace them after getting parts and I noticed that the brake pedal went to the floor I was able to get it on concrete pad but when I jacked it up I say big chunks of rust falling when I looked under car rear axle subframe was pretty much gone after I say that I decided to order the replacement subframe but when it come in and I was getting ready to do it I body mount where it is bolted also needs replaced I was trying to find them when I come across a factory recall about this issue when I contacted them and the dealer about this issue dealer said it couldn't be done because there was nothing left and he refused to put on a lift because he said the rear subframe would fall on ground but manufacturer denied to repair or make any resolutions for it even though they had in past and they new about the problem I have found over 1000 issues listed and they have repaired a bunch of the same vehicles for the same issue I told them I never received anything about the issue and they said it was my responsibility not there's so not only did they not do or even try to do what they have on recall but they refused to do anything for me and I was glad I didn't try driving after I heard noise because I could of caused a major accident and been severely injured in process not to mention someone else due to rear frame and brakes falling and falling out of car.

3 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/14/2013

I was on a mountain road on the way to shaver lake, when suddenly the right front wheel locked up pulling the car hard to the right. I was lucky I was only doing 25 mph other wise it could have rolled the car. This happen 3 more times in a matter of minutes. I noticed they have a recall on the esc for 2005 models but not for 2006. I have only had the car a week! purchased used. Interesting fact is stevens creek Hyundai in santa clara new about this issue and did not list it on the car fax report. Than took the car in on trade in and sold it at auction knowing about this safety issue. I have the paper work to prove this as well.

4 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 10/10/2009

This has happened several times, so I'm not sure of the first date it happened, but when I hit a pot hole or bump with my brakes on, the SUV suddenly accelerates (seems to lunge forward) for several seconds (and braking doesn't work). This is very scary and I've come close to hitting another car because I speed up on it at a stop (sign or light) after I hit the pothole. I've taken it in to the dealer, who cannot reproduce problem and claims nothing is wrong. I've also hit a patch on the road that my car considers slippery (even though there's no ice) and I can hear my abs kick in (even though the brakes aren't even on).
