2014 Hyundai Equus Complaints

Engine failure/thrown rod in engine while drive. 90k miles.

The air bag suspension in these model cars are a known issue and they been known to fail almost every equus has this same problem and Hyundai knows about it

I was driving my 2014 Hyundia Equus on the interstate going 65 mph when my from suspension collapsed. The air ride suspension failed as I was driving. The car became unstable as my safety and the safety of those around me could have been catstrophic. By the Grace of God, I was unharmed and able to get off the road without harming anyone in the process. The turning Ratius was cut to 1/4 of its full capabilities as the entire front of the car has collapsed completely where the tire is rubbing against the top of the wheel well.
