“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.”

My 17 year old was driving on the highway, she lost control, it could have been tragic.the car has been towed and sitting in a parking lot for 2 months as I can not find this part! My mechanic said it was a recall with these cars.”
NHTSA complaint #11339665, filed 2020-07, 150,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11143926, filed 2018-10, 94,500 miles“I have a 2005 Hyundai tuscon gls 4wd. Although my dealer had the recall repair on the suspension, this SUV still has squeaking noise or abrasion noise coming from the right side of the body while I drive above 80 MPH on highway. Not everytime, but most time. This noise, followed by some sort of braking really scared me on highway. I had this SUV back to dealer twice but they can't fix it.”
NHTSA complaint #10157840, filed 2006-05, 3,000 miles“Front right control arm broke while driving straight at 40 MPH, car swerved 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.”
