I have a hyundai that has a severe subframe rust. The dealer states it will only replace the part and nothing more. The subframe is so rusted that the part cannot be attached. They need to replace more than the part on recap to fix it. They have had my vehicle for 3.5 weeks of nothing but the runaround. I need your assistance to get this serious saftey issue fixed. There will be a crash if they don't fix it

My 2005 hyundai tucson was recalled for rust/corrosion problem on the undercarriage subframe. The service work was done in november, 2015 by my hyundai dealer in plymouth, ma. It was inspected again approximately 1 month later and determined that it needed additional preventative rust recall service work to be done. Hyundai motors of america asked for additional photos and another inspection and concluded that they refused to repair more rust problems that had become systemic and will eventually affect the safety of my car as the rust continues to spread over time. This determination came in february, 2016. My car only has 82,000 miles and I was hoping to keep the car for some time longer but now I may not have that option and may not qualify for safety inspections in the future. I have many emails that were exchanged with my hyundai dealer relating to this problem and hyundai service center and hyundai corporation made me wait almost 3 months with continuous trips to the dealer while this issue was being processed. Very upset with hyundai motors of america and their unwillingness to co-operate and prevent a serious problem that will ultimately result in a safety problem. I will no longer be a hyundai customer after this ordeal.

Letter to nstb and ma attorney general, re hyundai underbody corrosion on 8/6/2015 I received a hyundai "service campaign notification" on my 2005 tucson for "under body corrosion." I did have the recall service completed. ('arrests' it, they claim, but not removes it.) by that date I had already experienced two failures caused by the corrosion, both of which I believe had high potential for serious, even fatal accidents. The repairs cost almost $2,000, but they refused to reimburse. I am more concerned with the safety issues. Luckily, the fuel tank falling onto the drive shaft did not rupture and explode. The right front control arm failure caused loss of steering control and an abrupt stop into the right curb. Had it been the left front,, I would have been steered into oncoming traffic. Had it been at turnpike speed I suspect a likely rollover. The left front arm was also near failure. I sent two emails to hyundai, and made a number of calls, in part requesting repair reimbursement, but more importantly to tell them my concern the car was unsafe to drive. I asked them to buy it back at a fair price. No response. Twice, they promised to contact me in 2 to 5 days, they didn't, ever.. When I later called them and told them I had sold the car (at a loss in value) they just brushed me off. (to paraphrase them: 'it's no longer an issue since you now don't own it'). I can provide documents (repair invoices, with findings, and emails if you wish). I am requesting you take action to investigate, and as needed, take action to issue stronger sanctions against hyundai, they should be forced to recall all the affected cars.

Steering wheel material is disintegrating. The material is a rubbery coating and first began cracking and proceeded to come off in larger chunks exposing the inner steel frame. Dealer and hyundai refused to offer resolution.

My vehicle was parked in my driveway when I opened the rear hatch. The hinges suddenly disintegrated, busted right off. The rear window fell out striking me. The only way it was being held up and kept from falling to the ground, was by its shocks that keep window up when opened. I see that are numerous reports on this matter from various times. Is there some kind of recall on this problem?

As I was driving down the highway, I noticed that one of the windows in my 2005 hyundai tucson sounded like it had been rolled down. Almost immediately, my daughter yelled, "our window is coming off!" I had just enough time to look in my rearview mirror to see the right rear quarter panel window being held on by just a small strip of some sort of adhesive. In less than a second, the window flew off, began pinwheeling through the air and narrowly missed the vehicle just behind me. Even the repairman at the hyundai dealership that replaced the window for me was speechless when I told him what happened. I contacted hyundai, and all they would tell me is that my car is out of warranty. While it would have been nice for them to offer to pay for the repair, I was much more concerned with their lack of concern for anything other than the fact that the vehicle was out of warranty. They did not ask for any details or offer any concern for the possible damage and/or loss of life that could easily have occurred had that window hit the car behind me.
