Risk and remedy
Risk
If that happens, the vehicle may lose drive power to the wheels, and the front wheel may make contact with the fender or wheel well, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will measure the thickness of the front sub-frame and inspect the front sub-frame for corrosion damage and, if necessary, the front sub-frame will be replaced with a new sub-frame that incorporates additional holes in the upper and lower panels. if the front sub-frame does not require replacement, the dealer will add drainage holes to the sub-frame and will treat the sub-frame with rust-proofing material to stop the corrosion process. this procedure will be performed free of charge. the recall IS expected to begin during april 2009. owners may contact the hyundai customer assistance center at 1-800-633-5151.

While slowing down to make a turn on side road, the lower left control arm pulled completely out of the frame. Inspection after found large hole rusted completely through the frame rail. Inspected right side and frame has same type of rusted and missing frame segments. Thankfully this happened at low speed and not on the interstate where outcome could have been very bad. Doing some research I have found that this appears to have been a known problem with this model for several years beginning with 1999 model. *tr

When I try to fill the vehicle with gas it stops every few cents, simular to when the gas tank IS full, even when it IS on empty. it takes upwards of 30-45 minutes to fill the gas tank. sometimes the gas gauge IS on low when I try to fill it up but it stops filling so often that I have to change pumps to be able to fill my tank to full. I have also had the gas spill out the top of the tank just by trying to put enough gas in my vehicle to make it home. I have done quite a bit of research on the issue and have found it to be a common problem among hyundai vehicle. we bought this car to have a good, reliable vehicle for our daughter to drive. I do not feel safe allowing her to go on a long road trip when she has to spend so long filling the car with gas. *tr

While driving my 2000 hyundai sonata on good road and approaching a traffic light in the left through-lane of a multilane street, I made a quick stop (not and emergency stop) when the light turned yellow. The road was in good condition and dry, and the outside temperature was about about 80 degrees f. Upon making this stop the car pulled unusually sharply to the right - if there had been a car in the right lane, I would have hit it. After this stop, the front tire(s) made unusual squeeling noises upon turning, and the steering felt unusual and shakey. I drove the car directly (about a mile) to the place we were visiting in las vegas and the next morning took the car directly to a hyundai dealer. upon inspection the dealer found that the front suspension frame crossmember (front subframe) had a corrosion hole through the front subbframe and the front subframe had failed, causing the right front (passenger) tire to move out of position and sitting at an angle. The dealer's advice was that this was a safety problem, and it could further fail and result in loss of steering control. They advised that I do not drive the car until this this front subframe was replaced. This IS a replaceable piece - which was ordered, and replacement planned. The car was left with the hyundai dealer, and not driven further. this situation IS essentially identical to nhtsa reference number 13v354000 for the real suspension for some hyundai vehicles that led to hyundai recall campaign 113 approved in sept 2013. Hyundai records show this car was purchased in illinois (one of the approved 113-recall states) and it was driven there for about 4 years or so. I am the second owner. Hyundai has issued technical service bulletin campaign number 12-01-029 dated october 2012 (supersedes bulletin 09-01-020-2) which addresses this front subframe problem, but, I am told, it IS not an approved recall. *tr

Rust rear control arm broke from subframe, made noise enough to take to mechanic who found problem why IS it that only front subframe & front control arms were included in recall? The rear parts are also rusting.... Parts are made from same material = same problem ... The recall should include both the front and the back. Why would only one side of the car rust and not the other ridiculous!! *tr

My hyundai dealer has refused to honor their 100,000miles, 10 years warranty" many times that I bring the car to be fixed under the warranty since the car was only 8years old and 76,000 miles since 2008. They refuse to fix the problems that I experienced by saying my car IS not listed in any recall campaign. unfortunately this year, on 10/11/12, I took my car for an annual state inspection for 2000 hyundai sonata and it fails the safety inspection. here IS what it says: ***vehicle memo*** vehicle IS unsafe to drive...rear sub-frame has hole rotted through... due to the current financial situation, I don't know how I will get this car fixed because the car IS now 115,000miles and 12 years old and I don't know if they will fix it. They have continuously refused to fix my car under warranty even when it was clearly within the warranty period and I was lucky then that I have been able to pay the fixes out of pocket but I don't have the luxury of paying out of pocket this time. I am in need of miracles now. *tr

While driving our 2000 hyundai sonata my husband's sonata came to an screeching halt in which he almost lost complete control of the vehicle. Fortunately, he was able to pull the vehicle over to the side of the road. Once out of the vehicle, it was very apparent that the axle had broken and the drivers front wheel had detached from the vehicle. the vehicle was relocated to the nearest hyundai dealer. It was determined that the damage was from hyundai's front sub frame corrosion treatment (corrosion class action CC1) group-campaign, number 11-01-038 date-october, 2011. The dealer could not find any record that this recall notice was sent to our home of address. *tr

I have a 2000 hyundai sonata. I have had several sensors replaced in this car already. It IS something electrical or another sensor, go figure. my wipers stopped working, and my wiper fluid pump also went out. had local auto shop replace wiper fluid pump, they tried whatever they could, then the wipers would not stop working,so they took out the relay switch.then my wipers start working and I can turn them off/on with out the relay switch in. My car power locks are not working either, which they did before. Then my car would not start for next three/four days, had to have it jumped each day. So I thought it was my battery or alternator, had those tested, it IS not either of them. Then my car the next couple of day starts a little better, but still barely starting, and sometimes when I start my car, the power locks lock automatically. My radio has always acted up by turning off and on when it wants and not saving the stations I save everyday, but now it goes from a station to my cd turning on, just by itself. I have seen other complaints about this on the internet, there IS seriously something wrong with the electrical wiring or the sensors of this car, there needs to be a recall this could be real dangerous. you never know what IS going to happen. Please help! *Tr

No signs of possible problem prior to being unable to drive the vehicle. The driver lost control of the vehicle when driving in a parking lot and was able to avoid additional damage and injury. The vehicle was then towed to a local auto repair shop that diagnosed the problem as a subframe rust issue on the driver's side, which did not allow the control arms to function. *Tr

In a letter dated april 14, 2009, hyundai-kia america technical center, inc (hyundai) notified nhtsa that hyundaiis conducting a safety recall of model year (my) 1999 through 2004 hyundai sonata vehicles manufactured prior to november 20, 2003 that are registered and operated in the following salt belt states and the district of columbia: connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, west virginia, and wisconsin.hyundai IS recalling the vehicles to remedy a condition where internal corrosion of the front subframe may lead to separation of the lower control arm at the forward mounting point and/or separation of the axle from the transaxle.this could result in a loss of vehicle control and/or vehicle disablement. The subframes will be inspected in the recalled vehicles using a procedure developed by hyundai to measure metal thickness.parts with perforations from corrosion or with metal below the specified thickness will be replaced with redesigned subframes.if the minimum metal thickness IS met, drainage holes and rust proofing material will be added to the existing subframe. Odi's analysis of complaint data revealed that 98% of the consumer complaints were from vehicles either originally sold or operated in saltbelt states. Similarly 99.7% of the warranty claims were from vehicles originally sold or operated in saltbelt states.odi identified 105 reports of lower control arm detachment and/or axle separation from the transaxle through analysis of warranty and complaint information and consumer interviews.one hundred three (103) of the 105 incidents involved vehicles in states covered by the recall.in addition to the subject vehicles, hyundai also noted in the april 14, 2009 letter that my 2001 through 2004 xg300 and xg350 were also being recalled as they were manufactured with subframes similar in design the subject vehicles.based on hyundai's decision to conduct a safety recall this engineering analysis IS closed.

The office of defects investigation (odi) opened preliminary evaluation, pe08-029, on april 22, 2008, based on 40 consumer complaints alleging front sub-frame corrosion in model year (my) 1999 through 2002 hyundai sonata vehicles.complaints describe severe corrosion of the vehicle sub-frame in the area where the right-front lower control arm IS attached.in some vehicles, sub-frame corrosion has caused complete or partial detachment of the control arm, resulting in wheel collapse or separation. In response to odi's information request letter for pe08-029, hyundai provided owner complaints, field reports, and warranty claim data for approximately 197,906 my 1999 through 2002 subject vehicles sold or leased in the united states.the base warranty for the subject vehicles IS 60 months or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first.according to hyundai, prolonged exposure to the road salts may result in corrosive damage to the subframe.hyundai redesigned the sub-frame early in the my 2004 production (november 2003) to address problems with premature corrosion of the crossmember near the right-front suspension attachment. Odi's analysis of both complaint and warranty data for the my 1999 through 2002 sonata vehicles shows that the failure rates are significantly higher in salt belt states, which account for approximately 50 percent of vehicle sales and over 90 percent ofcomplaints and warranty claims related to the alleged defect (note:for purposes of this investigation the salt belt includes connecticut, delaware, the district of columbia, illinois, indiana, iowa, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, west virginia and wisconsin).according to hyundai, the alleged defect results in a progressive loss of structural integrity of the subframe and there IS ample opportunity for the problem to be detected (by inspection, steering feel or tire wear anomalies) and repaired before it reaches a state where a safety related incident may occur.hyundai identified 4 allegations of vehicle disablement and 1 allegation of a crash; where the lower control arm broke from the vehicle while driving at 55 mph and the driver lost control and drove into a yard.there were no reported injuries.odi received a separate allegation of a crash, where the complainant alleged that while driving around a slight curve at 65 mph on a freeway, the vehicle sub-frame fractured and the driver lost control of the vehicle and went off the road.again, no injuries were reported.approximately one-third of the complaints to odi allege that the sub-frame corrosion resulted in a loss of control and/or a vehicle disablement due to wheel collapse or separation.this investigation has been upgraded to an engineering analysis (ea08-016) covering my 1999 through early-2004 hyundai sonata vehicles in salt-belt states and equipped with the subject sub-frame design to further assess the frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect.
