At first brakes were making noise so I went to replace them after getting parts and I noticed that the brake pedal went to the floor I was able to get it on concrete pad but when I jacked it up I say big chunks of rust falling when I looked under car rear axle subframe was pretty much gone after I say that I decided to order the replacement subframe but when it come in and I was getting ready to do it I body mount where it is bolted also needs replaced I was trying to find them when I come across a factory recall about this issue when I contacted them and the dealer about this issue dealer said it couldn't be done because there was nothing left and he refused to put on a lift because he said the rear subframe would fall on ground but manufacturer denied to repair or make any resolutions for it even though they had in past and they new about the problem I have found over 1000 issues listed and they have repaired a bunch of the same vehicles for the same issue I told them I never received anything about the issue and they said it was my responsibility not there's so not only did they not do or even try to do what they have on recall but they refused to do anything for me and I was glad I didn't try driving after I heard noise because I could of caused a major accident and been severely injured in process not to mention someone else due to rear frame and brakes falling and falling out of car

2006 TUCSON HYUNDAI-11,000 MI AND HAD TO REPLACE REAR TIRES DUE TO TIRE WEAR. COMPLETELY BALD. COST-$300.00. DEALER STATES IT MAY BE DUE TO NEEDING ALIGNMENT OR DEFECT IN FRAME. WILL NOT HONOR BUMPER TO BUMPER 5 YEAR 60,000 MI WARRANTY. REFUSES TO PAY FOR ALIGNMENT OR TO SEE IF IT IS A FRAME PROBLEM. WILL NOT REIMBURSE FOR TIRES, EVEN THOUGH THE TIRE DEALER STATED THE MEASUREMENTS AND HOW IT WAS NOT RIGHT TO HAVE THEM THAT BALD. BUYING THE CAR BRAND NEW-I NOW AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IT WAS BOUGHT JUNE 2006, I HAVE BABIED IT AND DROVE ONLY FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS AND VACATIONS. YET NOW I FEEL IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COULD BE A FRAME PROBLEM, AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO INVESTIGATE. I AM HAVING TO TAKE IT TO A ALIGNMENT SHOP MYSELF TO HAVE IT CHECKED. YOUR SITE ONLY GIVES ME THE OPTION OF ONE TIRE REPORT. BUT BOTH TIRES WERE BALD! THANK YOU. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
