I have a 2001 Sonata and while i was getting my oil changed my mechanic asked to show me something on my car. Well it turns out that Hyundai's garbage sub frame has a fist-sized hole in the right front sub frame. The worst part about it is that my mechanic said it would cost between $1,000 - $1,500 to fix! I looked at him and said that's way more than i could afford with the economy going in the dumps. I just filed a complaint with the NHTSA and hopefully somebody will contact me. In the mean time i plan to go back to my Hyundai dealership and make them call somebody at Hyundai so we could figure this out. I'm looking for Hyundai to pay for that garbage sub frame so i don't get hurt or killed and also the airbag that is under recall. About 2-3 years ago i went to my dealer and told them i had a problem with my airbag light coming on. They said it would cost $500 to repair and i said they were out of their minds so i just let it go. Now it turns out that there was a recall and they are going to get it from me. It's sad that Hyundai would use garbage for a sub frame... i mean come on there are cars from the 60's with better frames than these pieces of crap! Anyways i hope all goes as planned and Hyundai steps up to the plate and pays what they owe! If they don't and i get hurt or killed they will take a 10 incher up their @$$es instead of the 7 incher i plan to give tomorrow!
