Front Suspension Control Arm Problems of Hyundai Tucson

I just spent about $100. Fixing ball joint and control arm and was rotating wheels and looked under car and seen rear subframe all rusted out. The car has a great body and runs very good. I bought this car brand new and I drive my grandkids in this car and now looks un safe to drive.

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!!.

The contact owns a 2006 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving 15 mph the passenger front tie rod and control arm failed. The vehicle was towed to a local mechanic. The local mechanic stated that the failure was a common failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact stated the failure was due to a defect in the material. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 72,000. Updated 07/05/lj.
