REAR SUBFRAME OF MY 2007 HYUNDAI TUCSON RUSTED THROUGH. THE REAR SUBFRAME WAS TREATED FOR RUST IN MARCH 2017. OCTOBER 2019 THE REAR SUBFRAME RUSTED TO THE POINT OF NOT PASSING INSPECTION. CONSIDERING THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH OTHER HYUNDAI MODELS, HYUNDAI WOULDN'T STAND BY THEIR SAFETY AWARDS AND HELP ME WITH THIS BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF ANY RECALL PERTAINING TO REAR SUBFRAMES RUSTING.

Rear subframe has excessive corrosion which lead to a a lower control arm failure. In short the control arm bracket on the subframe rusted away and the control arm fell off. My wife could have been killed. It seems that this same issue pertains to several Tuscons. Car is sitting on transport trailer currently.
