Beware: Frame is rusting out

Beware - I just learned my 2002 Hyundai 350XG has a serious safety problem - the frame is badly corroded, particularly the engine cradle, which actually has a hole in it. This car has fewer than 90,000 miles and it has been garaged its entire life. I'm the first owner and I had it serviced regularly by Hyundai until I got fed up late last year. I never would have known this problem existed except I was forced to have it towed to an AAA Service Center because the power steering hose leaked - causing a failure of power steering.  I was driving with my son at the time.  The AAA technician said he was shocked to see the extent of the  frame corrosion  in a car of late vintage that was not  involved in some kind of catastrophe (ex. Katrina). Previously, I had a problem with the engine mounts. I had to replace the shocks at my expense, not to mention the brakes, battery, etc. etc.  Oh, the power steering problem cost me $400.  I doubt there were be many second-time buyers of Hyundai products and at some point, all the first time buyers will be gone and the cars on Hyundai's lots will rust out and blow away. .
