Dt: while driving on interstate at about 55 MPH suddenly vehicle began to spin out of control in rush hour traffic. The car spun around and struck a guard rail and stopped in traffic. No previous problems with the car. It was towed to pep boys for repairs, serviceman noted the rear driver's side control arm broke in half. No explanation as to why this happened, noted this was rare. Car is currently at pep boys for repairs. Contacted hyundai , who claimed there were no recalls on that car and they could not help.
When I was at the grade school picking up my daughter, the car started to lurch and then stopped. I got out and the front tire on the passenger side was twisted to the side. The right axle had blown out. I could no longer drive the car. I was in the process of moving back to illinois at the end of may I had to rent a car dolly to tow the car behind the u-haul. Upon taking it to our automotive repair shop, he called us the next day to say that the front right frame cradle had rusted in half.
