My subframe rusted straight through like the older models of the same car described i was told the problem over many years now but i took my car in recently to get an alignment and that's when it was discovered that it had rusted all the way through and was told it is not safe or usual the consumer stated the vehicle had the same recalled subframe, but the vehicle was not included in the recall. *js
I am writing in regard to my 2005 hyundai xg350l with 143,500 miles. i am the original owner of this vehicle. on april 16 2009 there was an nhtsa vehicle safety recall # 09v124000 for suspension. this recall was for 2001-2004 sonata, 2001-2004 xg300 and xg350 vehicles sold in or currently registered in illinois and other rust belt states. the recall pertained to internal corrosion of the front sub-frame. at the time in 2009 i felt i had nothing to fear because my 2005 model was not included in the recall. low and behold now almost 9 years later from the april 2009 recall my sub-frame has the same issue (please see attached photos). i called hyundai motor america (hma) customer assistance and they made an appointment for me at ettleson hyundai in countryside il where i originally purchased the vehicle. the mechanic at ettelson inspected the car and service writer rich gibbons forwarded results to hma. on december 29, 2017 hma representative juan vazquez denied my claim stating: this prior authorization (pa) is declined due to excessive mileage and time past warranty coverage for this repair. no corrosion campaigns or settlements and the fact that ca case10874702 is not approving any repairs at this time. no one from the car dealer to hma has been able to answer my original question with hma customer assistance: why the 2005 xg350l model year was not included in the original april 2009 recall? incidentally, 2005 was the last year for this model, hyundai went to the azera in 2006 to replace the xg350l. i probably would not be having this $1157.00 dealer quoted estimate of a problem if it had been included in the 2009 recall. the 2005 hyundai xg350 should be included in the original recall for safety. any assistance you can render would be greatly appreciated. thank you for your time.
My 2005 hyundai xg350l was deemed "undriveable" tonight at the service center (after being taken in for an unrelated issue), as the frame was corroded to the point of nearly-crumbling. the car was driven in iowa (always parked in garages) from the year of purchase in 2005 to august 2016. the salt corrosion recall covers model years 2001-2004, but mysteriously does not include model year 2005. i am not the only person with this issue! i am very frustrated that hyundai does not cover my unsafe vehicle for an issue they created and for which they should be responsible. this is a disappointing and dangerous problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 hyundai xg350. while driving at approximately 5 mph, the front suspension arm on the passenger side fractured, causing the wheel to become detached from the vehicle. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified. the approximate failure mileage was 113,000.
