2000 Hyundai Sonata Suspension

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND SUDDENLY, HE HEARD A UNUSUAL SOUND COMING FROM PASSENGER SIDE; BEING VERY FAR FROM HOME HE COULD NOT STOP BUT THE NOISE GRADUALLY BECAME SERIOUS. HE PULLED OVER, GET OFF THE CAR AND REALIZED THAT THE FRONT TIRE, PASSENGER SIDE WAS WENT BEHIND THE NORMAL POSITION AND TOUCHED THE BODY OF THE CAR. LATER AT THE GARAGE THE MECHANIC PUT THE CAR UP AND DISCOVERED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS CUR AND IT TOOK OUT THE AXLE. (THE CAR HAD BEEN TOWED TO GET THERE). HE TOLD ME THAT I NEED A NEW PART THAT COST $850 AND THE LABOR COULD COST $500. MY SURPRISE CAME WHEN I WENT ONLINE TO SEARCH FOR A CHEAPER PRICE: FIRST OF ALL I DID NOT FIND ONE BUT INSTEAD, I FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE AROUND THE NATION, HAVING EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME CAR, SAME MODEL, SAME YEAR. THIS DEFECTION HAS CAUSED PROBLEM TO MY FAMILY: RENTING CAR, TOWING, WE STILL GOING THROUGH DIFFICULTIES AND WE CAN NOT AFFORD THE REPAIR NEITHER DRIVE THE CAR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROX 30 MPH MY FRONT RIGHT WHEEL FOLDED BACK AGAINST THE FENDER, BRING ME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. ONCE I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP WE FOUND THAT THE SUB FRAME HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND THAT THE CONTROL ARM HAD COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF OF THE SUB FRAME. I HAD TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE SUBFRAME ON THIS 6 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH ONLY 77000 MILES ON IT. *JB

DT: WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 55 MPH SUDDENLY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE CAR SPUN AROUND AND STRUCK A GUARD RAIL AND STOPPED IN TRAFFIC. NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. IT WAS TOWED TO PEP BOYS FOR REPAIRS, SERVICEMAN NOTED THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE CONTROL ARM BROKE IN HALF. NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENED, NOTED THIS WAS RARE. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT PEP BOYS FOR REPAIRS. CONTACTED HYUNDAI , WHO CLAIMED THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THAT CAR AND THEY COULD NOT HELP.*AK

THIS CAR WAS WRECKED PRIOR TO PURCHASE I WAS JUST TOLD THIS AFTER HAVING REPORTED THAT THE CAR HAS PULLED TO THE RIGHT SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. THEY DID REPAIRS TO REAR WHEELS, FRONT END ALIGNMENT, CAR CONTINUES TO PULL AND HARD TO KEEP ON ROAD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT, I WAS NOT INFORMED I PURCHASED A PREVIOUSLY WRECKED CAR OR I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED IT. DON'T REALLY KNOW WHERE TO GO OR WHAT TO DO BUT THE CAR IS DANGEROUS AND DIFFICULT TO KEEP ON THE ROAD. I NEED SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO PROCEED. JUST HAD A 30,000 SERVICE AND ASKED WHY CAR CAN'T BE FIXED WAS TOLD IT HAS BEEN WRECKED AND FRAME IS BENT, IT CANNOT BE FIXED. PLEASE ADVISE ME AS TO WHAT I SHOULD DO. THANK YOU WANDA KING. *AK
