2005 Hyundai Sonata

I HAVE A HYUNDAI SONATA 2005 AND THE MECHANIC FROM HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP NOTIFIED ME THE SUBFRAME CORROSION ISSUE. THE SYMPTOM OF MY CAR EXACTLY SAME AS THE CASE FROM NICHOLAS CIRULLI AND ROBERT D'ELIA V. HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY AND HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA, WHICH EVENTUALLY RECALLED 2000 - 2004 HYUNDAI SONATA DUE TO THE SUBFRAME CORROSION ISSUE. I AM WONDERING WHETHER 2005 HYUNDAI SONATA OWNERS EXPERIENCE A SIMILAR ISSUE AND THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED ON THE RECALL AS WELL. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF NHTSA WOULD REVIEW THIS CASE. THANKS.

I OWN A 2005 HYUNDAI SONATA GLS. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY BECAME HARD TO CONTROL, AS IN IT STARTED PULLING EXTREMELY HARD TO THE RIGHT. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH THE STEERING WHEEL COCKED TO THE LEFT IN ORDER TO GO STRAIGHT. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE SHOP THINKING IT NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT - BOTH FRONT TIRES WERE TILTED IN AT THE TOP - WHAT I FOUND OUT WAS THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED IN HALF. IT SEEMS VERY SHADY TO ME THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM FOR PRETTY MUCH EVERY YEAR EXCEPT 2005. THIS IS THE SAME MODEL AS THE 2004 AND IT WAS MANUFACTURED THAT YEAR AS WELL. *ALSO, THE TRIM ON THE CAR, WHICH IS WHAT MAKES IT MORE EXPENSIVE, IS CONSTANTLY COMING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. THE SILVER TRIM AROUND THE PASSENGER WINDOW FLEW OFF ON THE TOLLWAY. THE DRIVER'S WINDOW TRIM CAME OFF DUE TO ICE - IT WAS REPLACED BY A BODY SHOP, BUT LATER FLEW OFF ON THE TOLLWAY AS WELL. THE TRIM ON ALL FOUR DOORS IS NOW BOLTED ON AS THAT KEPT FALLING OFF TOO. *ALSO, THERE IS SIGNIFICANT RUST RIGHT ABOVE THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD TO THE POINT THAT IT WILL SOON BE RAINING IN MY CAR.

FAILED INSPECTION IN PART DUE TO FRONT SUBFRAME RUST THROUGH. CALLED HYUNDAI AND SPOKE TO A CLAIMS REP. BY THE NAME OF NATHAN & TIER2 REP TIM. BOTH TOLD ME THERE WERE RECALLS ON SONATAS UP TO 2004 FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT NOT 2005. THE 2005 MODEL IS THE SAME MODEL AS 2004. THE MODEL YEAR DIDN'T CHANGE TILL 2006 SO WHY WAS 2005 EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL? MY CAR HAS 120K MILES ON IT. BOTH TOLD ME IT WASN'T UNDER RECALL OR WARRANTY, AND THAT HYUNDAI WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME, . HOW IS IT THE A CAR 11 YEARS OLD HAS A BAD FRAME? HOPE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HELP US.

(TAKATA RECALL) I HAD A ACCIDENT ON 1/20/2016. MY AIRBAG DID NOT INFLATION, WHEN THE AIRBAG CAME OUT IT WAS DEFLATED. THE AIRBAG LET OUT CHEMICAL IN MY FACE, EYES, NOSE, THROAT.THE AIRBAG EXPOSURE CAUSE ME EYE TRAUMA, FACE SKIN IRRITATED , AND SINUS INFECTION, HEADACHE . I HIT SOME BLACK ICE ON HIGHWAY 77, THREE MILES BEFORE YOU GET TO NEWBORN, TN. MY CAR SLIDE OF THE ROAD IN TO A DITCH. THE BAG DID NOT CAUSE THE ACCIDENT, BUT IT CAUSE BODY PROBLEMS.

FAILED INSPECTION IN PART DUE TO FRONT SUBFRAME RUST THROUGH. CALLED HYUNDAI AND SPOKE TO A CLAIMS REP. BY THE NAME OF MIKE EXT.631677. MIKE TOLD ME THERE WERE RECALLS ON SONATAS UP TO 2004 FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT NOT 2005. THE 2005 MODEL IS THE SAME MODEL AS 2004. THE MODEL YEAR DIDN'T CHANGE TILL 2006 SO WHY WAS 2005 EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL? MY CAR HAS 115K MILES ON IT AND THE UNDERBODY IS ALWAYS WASHED DURING WINTER SEASONS. MIKE TOLD ME IT WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY, AND THAT HYUNDAI WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME, TO CONTACT MY DEALERSHIP, MAYBE THEY WOULD DO SOMETHING. I HAVE A 1969 CAMARO AND THE SUBFRAME IS FINE. HOW IS IT THE A CAR 10 YEARS OLD HAS A BAD FRAME? HOPE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HELP US.
