My model,make and year have had recalls to rust under the carriage and underside. I had to replace my rotors due to rust. I se that you recalled in delaware and i'll. Due to salt. I live in the state of virginia and we have salt. I would appreciate if you would consider my rotors as included with this recall. I am enclosing pictures and am hoping maybe to recover some of the expense that i incurred.

While in heavy, slow moving traffic, a car stopped abruptly in front of me. I slammed on my brakes but my car seemed to accelerate. I had left space between our vehicles but the car kept moving forward and i hit the vehicle in front of me causing several thousand dollars of damage. This is the second occurrence.

The car creaks when you go at a slow speed or over a hump. The steering wheel also makes a clicking or knocking sound when steering it and when you turn the car to the left or right it makes a creaking noise. When you get out of the car, it seems that it creaks once the weight is lifted. The creaking is either when stationary or when going at a low speed over humps and when turning the wheel. When driving at normal…

While my wife, linda, was driving less than 1-2 mph, turning into a parking space, all of a sudden, the engine started racing and leaped forward. Hitting the brakes had no effect on stopping the vehicle. She desperately turned the wheel to miss parked cars, a steel pole was hit and torn out of the ground by the runaway vehicle. Finally the car came to rest after hitting a large concrete light pole, which must have…

My wife owns a 2010 hyundai elantra and the complaint i've got is about the lug nuts. I had to replace the rear brake pads, brake shoes and rotors. The first problem i ran into on this project was that the lug nuts were so rusted that the lug wrench supplied with the car wouldn't fit over them - the chrome plating on the nuts had deteriorated allowing rust to built up underneath the plating so that the wrench…

The brake booster vacuum check valve suddenly failed while driving resulting in vastly reduced braking power and near inability to stop the vehicle. I was lucky to have been able to let the car slow naturally and turn onto a side road. If i had been approaching an intersection i could have easily been injured or killed. When inspected the vacuum line was completely disconnected from the valve resulting in no power…

I took my vehicle to firestone auto for an oil change and inspection. The technician found that when he applied the brakes they pulsated. Upon further investigation he found that all of the brake rotors are rusted and pitted. The rear rotors are worst than the front. He also noted that the rear brake shoes are worn out and need replaced. Normally the front pads are replaced twice to once in the rear. My guess is…
