2001 Hyundai Santa Fe SE review from North America
"Rust Box"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The entire under carriage is completely rusted. Lost my steering 2 days ago while driving 20 mph over a bridge. The entire rear suspension has to be replaced due to rust and corrosion. I owe 3000 on the car and it will cost more than that to have everything replaced.
I have read all over the web about Hyundai's rust problems. Nobody from Hyundai is doing anything about it. I only have 88,000 miles on this car. I live in Massachusetts and they consider it a high salt area. Which it is. Then why doesn't everyone's auto rot out. I have photos posted at: http://boston.craigslist.org/nos/wan/987256383.html
