2008 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAS A KNOW ISSUE REGARDING THE SUBFRAME 'CAMPAIGN TT1'. MY ELANTRA'S SUBFRAME IS ROTTING AND HAS HOLES ROTTED THROUGH IN A FEW AREAS. IT'S A 12 YEAR OLD CAR THAT IS OTHERWISE IN GOOD CONDITION. HYUNDAI WON'T HELP SINCE I HAD THIS RECALL 'FIXED' ORIGINALLY IN 2014. THEY REISSUED THE CAMPAIGN IN 2017. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW. IT'S BEEN A RELIABLE CAR AND IT STILL RUNS AND LOOKS GOOD. BUT SINCE MY FRAME IS ROTTING AWAY, I WON'T BE ABLE TO PASS ANOTHER INSPECTION AND THE CAR WILL BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

THE IN-DASH FRONT-PANEL CONSOLE PIECES MAKE VERY IRRITATING SQUEAKY NOISES WHEN DRIVING OVER EVEN LITTLE BUMPS DISTRACTING THE DRIVER FROM NORMAL DRIVING EXPERIENCE. *TR
