2003 Hyundai Santa Fe body problems

Filed Dec 17, 2020 · Body, Suspension · 147,263 miles · ND

Brought my vehicle in for a alignment and they discovered the rusted and corradiated rear left trailing control arm on my 2003 hyundai santa fe, I brought to dealership after that to get a recall and the told me that since the vehicle was bought in nd and that state is not included in the recall they will decline the work, even thou minn. Is right next door like I live about 1 mile to mn they still wouldn't except the recall, it is obvious the part that is on recall fits my car, when looking on the right side arm there is no rust or corrosion. The dealer states it is not safe to drive vehicle, because the arm is starting to bend also. So what do I do now, it will be very costly to fix,

Sub frame was replaced due to hidden rotting of internal mounting structure separation of suspension components, causing poor control of vehicle and tire wear in aug. 2013. Under body was exposed to corrosive water in july, 2017 about three years ago and has turned the steel to " crackers " rust condition and made it unsafe to be road worthy due to possible separation of sub frame at body mounts.. All repairs where at my expense. I found some recalls to late on the computer. I`m in the process of replacing the unit. I kept all records of repairs and maintenance since I purchased it used. The power train is in good running order. I`m not to computer savey ! I have a fax mechine. Thank you.

Car has clunking noise in front end. Mechanic said it's the subframe bushings going in and out of the subframe and recommended replacing subframe. Said car is "unsafe to drive in this condition." there is a recall in "salt-belt" states. Not sure it they consider utah a salt-belt state, but salt is used here extensively in the winter.

My airbags were defective. I was in a car accident, and the airbags did not deploy. After the accident, I was taken to the hospital to treat multiple bodily injuring, which could have been prevented if the airbag had deployed. I was driving in town when the accident occurred. I overshot a turn and hit a poll on the left side of the car. The car flipped and was totaled. Again, no airbags were deployed. I have included pictures of the car after the accident. My main concern is the issue with the airbags. I feel as though these should have worked properly and that I am fortunate enough that the accident was not any worse, as more serious injuries could have then occurred. If needed, I have more pictures; however, due to the file size allowed, I have limited it to key picture. Please let me know.
