#11 of 34 Elantra? by irie1 Mar 17, 2009 (12:25 pm)
Hello all. Have any of you ever heard of this same sub-frame rust problem happening with an Elantra? I have a 2000 Elantra and just spent a mint to get it fixed... Thanks, Nancy Replies to this message: wealthpro (Mar 18, 2009 6:04 am) rusty43 (Mar 20, 2009 5:58 pm)

Replying to: wealthpro (Mar 16, 2009 6:32 pm) The local Hyundai service center called me. They said that the subframe needed to be replaced and that Hyundai was covering the cost. They said the part was on order and they should be done by Friday (3 days). They didn't offer a rental, so I mentioned that Hyundai had provided cars for others in this situation. He then said he would get me a loaner. I just drove home a new Elantra with XM Radio. Replies to this message: tntbaker (Mar 18, 2009 6:40 am) wealthpro (Mar 18, 2009 7:22 am)

#17 of 34 TXs for finding problem by roracer Mar 19, 2009 (3:54 am)
I checked my 2000 Sonata w/145,000 miles and the frame is in better condition than the body. No Rust it would be nice if Hyundai would recall this problem. I live in New England I drive year round I thought for sure I was going to be one of the rusty framed Sonata owner. I will continue to keep an eye on it. TXs again for posting this problem.

Replying to: roracer (Mar 19, 2009 3:54 am) I am glad to here your car is OK. Remember the rust is fron the inside out. the best place to check is where the A-arm bolts to the sub Frame. That is where everyone has seen the failure. The best way to view this is down through the engine compartment or if you have it on a rack at a repair shop.   Tom Baker Kansas City MO tntnknbjuno.com

Replying to: irie1 (Mar 17, 2009 12:25 pm) just happened to find this post, and to be clear, its the rear subframe that was rotted out on nancy's car. in case you haven't looked, it's what holds your rear wheels on the car. a single piece from one side to the other. w/ 120,000 mi it would have collapsed within weeks.at 65 on the northway, it would mean death. PLEASE CHECK YOURS
#20 of 34 2000 Sonata Sub Frame Rust by mark327 Oct 03, 2009 (7:45 pm)
I just got a couple of new tires today and was told I had a probable alignment problem. I took it to someone and they told me they could not even do the work on it due to a big patch of rust on the sub frame just behind and to the right of the driver side front wheel. The Midas shop told me I would probably have to get a new car but said that should not happen already. It only has 64K on it and we have kept it in the garage. No other rust on the car at all. I was just browsing the web and came across this site. Obviously it looks like others have had the same issue. It sounds like a number of you were able to get Hyundai to fix it with no cost? What exactly should I do? Do I first just take it to my Dealer? If they don't cooperate, who do I call? This is a life saver if this can be fixed. This car should still have a lot of years left for me with only 64K. Replies to this message: james1982 (Oct 04, 2009 4:04 pm) backy (Oct 04, 2009 4:40 pm) wealthpro (Oct 05, 2009 8:31 am)
