I was driving my 1999 Sanota and was making a right turn off the highway and
lost control of my steering power. The a-frame of my car went left and the
body of my car went right. The body fell off the frame due to the main frame
axil bolts and part of the a-frame rusting completely through. I had no
control of the car. Is this typical in Hyundai Sanotas? The wrecker service
said I was lucky I wasn't still on the highway, it could have caused me
serious injury. I keep my car in the garage, it never sits outside when I am
home. This seems like a very dangerous hazard and I cannot understand why
the a-frame and bolts would have gotten to the state of being rusted totally
through. In the process, of this happening, it also ruined my transmission.
Has this happened to anyone else? Although I was unable to move my car after
this happened it was still in gear which of course didn't work. When I tried
to put the gear shift in park, there were no gears, I just had to turn the
car off.
