2004: “There is a recall for the this vehicle but Hyundai does not have it for my VIN.I brought the car in for a wheel alignment and the repair shop told me that the sub frame is rotted away this is the recall that they had for vehicles the same years as mine. I've been informed this is a very very dangerous unfortunately we cannot afford buy new car.”
NHTSA complaint #11256198, filed 2019-09, 90,000 miles2005: “My subframe rusted straight through like the older models of the same car described I was told the problem over many years now but I took my car in recently to get an alignment and that's when it was discovered that it had rusted all the way through and was told it is not safe or usual the consumer stated the vehicle had the same recalled subframe, but the vehicle was not included in the recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11288949, filed 2019-12, 150,000 miles2003: “The airbag light stays on. I have read numerous other complaints about this. There appears to be no solution to prevent the light from coming back on, despite different attempts to fix the problem. I understand if my vehicle is involved in an accident,the airbag will not deploy, which could result in a serious injury to someone in the passenger seat.”
