Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“In november 2016 the exhaust pipe from the front axle to the muffler fell off due to brackets rusting. A couple weeks later a recall notice was received from Hyundai about rusting to the chassis and suspension. Repair work was done at the time of the incident. Hyundai sprayed the underside for rust-proofing, then denied a reimbursement claim on the exhaust system. In april 2017 the rocker arms and rotors had rusted, and required full braking system and rocker arm replacement. In june 2017 the entire suspension system required replacement, due to rusting of the shocks and struts. …”

“Purchased 2008 Hyundai Accent from metro suzuki, dartmouth ns on august17, 2009. Was informed by salesman when buying the car that the rear passenger tire had a broken and missing stud. But was reassured the car was safe to drive home(500km distance). A few days later when I had the stud replace there were also two more studs broken on that same tire, so in actuality I drove a car 500km with three broken studs. The car was safety inspected and passed with no infringements only days before the purchase by mechanics employed by metro suzuki. …”
