Front right control arm rusted until it failed while driving. Very dangerous! 2003 hyundai tuburons have a recall for this but 2005 does not. It should because hyundai obviously did not fix that underlying issue.

Since I've purchased this vehicle, I initially told the dealer that there was something wrong with the steering. They, jeff wyler claimed to have looked at the car and stated nothing was wrong. Now at 44,000 miles, another dealer states that the tie rods have excessive wear and need to be replaced. This issue has been going on for over 4 years and still no resolution. I have since found that there has been a recall, but when I contact hyundai, they state that my car doesn't fall into that recall. I am upset and confused, that a car that initially had 9700 miles when purchased in 2006 that now has 44000 5 yrs later has excessive wear on the tie rods. I have asked for an explanation, yet I am only getting the run around. I need help!

Purchased vehicle on april 25, 2005. Vehicle was under recall for steering: gear box (other than rack and pinion). Consequence would prevent steering control of that front wheel by the separated tie rod which could result in a crash. Recall was issued on april 8, 2005 and owners were to be called and instructed not to drive the vehicles. I was not notified of this recall when I purchased this vehicle.
