#10016760April 30, 2003
SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM
AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF ONLINE RESEARCH, I FIGURED OUT THAT MY CAR'S FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM RUSTED AND EVENTUALLY BROKE. I CALLED A FEW HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO GET MY CAR FIXED. MOST OF THEM WERE NICE UNTIL I MENTIONED THE FACT THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS A RECALL ITEM. THEN OF COURSE THEY COULDN'T GET ME AN APPOINTMENT FOR A FEW WEEKS OR I HAD TO SUPPLY THEM WITH ALL MY INFORMATION OVER THE PHONE. I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE GIVING A STRANGER SUCH INFORMATION SO I CHOSE NOT TO. ONCE THE CAR WAS AT THE CLOSEST LOCATION FROM MY HOUSE, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT A RECALL ITEM BASED ON THE VIN NUMBER. PERSONALLY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW ELSE A FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM CAN JUST RUST OUT AND BREAK. SO NOW WHAT DO I DO. DO I JUST SIT BACK AND PAY ALOT OF MONEY TO GET IT FIXED OR DO I PERSUE FINDING A WAY TO GET MY VIN NUMBER ON THE LIST OF RECALLS?
