What owners wrote

I want to create a safety recall on this vehicle if not other makes and models from this manufacturer. This vehicle is a fire hazard due to chronic corrosion on the fuel lines. It is also a safety hazard due to loss of brakes and steering due to chronic corrosion of the brake and power steering lines. Our 2007 hyundai sonata needed power steering fluid and brake fluid on a regular basis. Most recently we lost brakes and had the car inspected.
