There is visible rust/corrosion damage of the front sub- frame of my vehicle. The front subframe has thinned at rusted location. The rusted sub-frame is chewed half of my sub-frame. I am worried that corrosion may progress and may detach from the sub-frame, eventually increasing safety risk. I have noticed steering pull.

The air bag light came on when I moved the passenger seat. Mechanics can make the light go out by resetting the codes...however the light comes back on after a while and always when the passenger seat is moved. There are a great many similar complaints for hyundai xg350 2003, 2004 and 2005, yet the company does nothing about it. Haven't they learned from gm? Also where is the federal safety agency . Surely they see these complaints all over the web? I'm told that the air bags will not deploy while the light is on. This is a great concern - but I can't afford to pay $1,000 every time it needs to be reset by a hyundai dealer. The federal safety agency ---please put some pressure on hyundai to issue a recall to permanently fix the problem. By the way I'm bringing my 2004 xg350 to the dealer tomorrow to replace the subframe which is rotting - this does have a recall issued.

I was driving from virginia to new york on route 17 to route 81. I exited to get to a gas station. While turning left from a four-lane road into the gas station, my vehicle made a crashing sound and stopped in the middle of on-coming traffic. It felt like we hit something big. I could not move the car. We had it towed to a garage, where we learned the cv axle had snapped. They also had to replace rs spindle and rs ball joint because they had rusted out. There was cosmetic damage done to body when the axle broke and the car went down hard.

I was driving and rusted subframe collapsed control arm & right axel broke also power steering belt broke. I was able to get over nearly having an accident. I had my car repaired in 2010 as per recall yet I tried to push for sub frame replacement over repair at that time with no luck. I believe these sub frames that were repaired should be replaced. This is an extremely dangerous situation I could have been killed!

We own an xg350 hyundai. Car was brought in to dealer under manufacturer's recall for corrosion of subframe approximately three years ago. Dealer performed manufacturer-suggested repairs: drilled holes in subframe and treated with anti-corrosive. Three years later, subframe completely rotted out and car is a danger to drive. Problem was found when we noticed wheel misalignment (looked like right front wheel was skewed) and that car could not go over even small bumps without sliding across the road. The gentleman who inspected the car for what we thought was going to be an alignment, said that the car was extremely dangerous and in his opinion, was "totaled". We had to have the car towed to the dealership as it is too dangerous to drive the 2 miles. When we called the hyundai dealer, he agreed to replace the subframe at no cost, admitting that this was a hyundai problem. I believe that all those people who had the original "fix" are under a false impression that there is no further reason for concern. According to the dealer, the rust is not visible from the outside, which explains why no one saw it 4 months ago when we had snow tires put on. It just suddenly "bursts" from the inside out. He admitted it was dangerous. We are diligent about cleaning the undercarriage of the car every month as we are in a high salt area (massachusetts). We baby the automobile and keep it perfectly. I am angry because my son drives this car and last weekend he was going to take it on the highway for a trip with his friends. If the rust hadn't "burst" through when it did, we would have been unaware of the danger and let him and his friends take the car. This is a death waiting to happen.
