Body problems of the 2004 Hyundai XG350

Vehicle has a front rusted subframe in two spots on passenger side it will not pass inspection. It is dangerous to keep driving it it looks like there is a recall on this issue in 04/2009, but it says 0 unrepaired recalls which is obviously not correct manufacturer: Hyundai motor company mfr's report date: Apr 14, 2009 NHTSA campaign id number: 09v124000 ea08016 NHTSA action number: ea08016.

There is visible rust/corrosion damage of the front sub- frame of my vehicle. The front subframe has thinned at rusted location. The rusted sub-frame is chewed half of my sub-frame. I am worried that corrosion may progress and may detach from the sub-frame, eventually increasing safety risk. I have noticed steering pull.

Car was parked never had any issues went to crank it uo it just burdt into flames and burned to the ground engine was snoking and snoke coming from underneath and wss oiuring out flames burned up in like 20 minutes or so fire department had to come put it out car is nothing but scrap metal now.

I was driving from virginia to new york on route 17 to route 81. I exited to get to a gas station. While turning left from a four-lane road into the gas station, my vehicle made a crashing sound and stopped in the middle of on-coming traffic. It felt like we hit something big. I could not move the car. We had it towed to a garage, where we learned the cv axle had snapped. They also had to replace rs spindle and rs ball joint because they had rusted out. There was cosmetic damage done to body when the axle broke and the car went down hard.

We own an Xg350 Hyundai. Car was brought in to dealer under manufacturer's recall for corrosion of subframe approximately three years ago. Dealer performed manufacturer-suggested repairs: drilled holes in subframe and treated with anti-corrosive. Three years later, subframe completely rotted out and car is a danger to drive. Problem was found when we noticed wheel misalignment (looked like right front wheel was skewed) and that car could not go over even small bumps without sliding across the road. The gentleman who inspected the car for what we thought was going to be an alignment, said that the car was extremely dangerous and in his opinion, was "totaled". We had to have the car towed to the dealership as it is too dangerous to drive the 2 miles. When we called the Hyundai dealer, he agreed to replace the subframe at no cost, admitting that this was a Hyundai problem. I believe that all those people who had the original "fix" are under a false impression that there is no further reason for concern. According to the dealer, the rust is not visible from the outside, which explains why no one saw it 4 months ago when we had snow tires put on. It just suddenly "bursts" from the inside out. He admitted it was dangerous. We are diligent about cleaning the undercarriage of the car every month as we are in a high salt area (massachusetts). We baby the automobile and keep it perfectly. I am angry because my son drives this car and last weekend he was going to take it on the highway for a trip with his friends. If the rust hadn't "burst" through when it did, we would have been unaware of the danger and let him and his friends take the car. This is a death waiting to happen.
