2007 Hyundai Santa FE wheel problems

WHEELS

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE CONTROL ARM 3 TIMES, (2/2013, 4/2014, 3/2015) AND ABOUT TO DO IT A 4TH TIME (2019). IT GOES BAD AFTER ABOUT 20,000 MILES AND AFFECTS THE ALIGNMENT WHICH CAUSES THE TIRES TO WEAR INCORRECTLY. BRAND NEW TIRES ARE GET WORN DOWN ON THE INSIDE EDGE AND IS NOT VISIBLE. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE. MY RELATIVELY NEW TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND NEARLY CAUSED A CRASH. I'VE SPENT $3000 IN REPAIRS AND ESTIMATE ANOTHER $1000 IN TIRES THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED PREMATURELY. I WILL FILL ONE OF THESE OUT FOR EACH OF THE INCIDENTS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

WHEELS

SOMETIMES WHEN I MAKE A LEFT OR IGHT TURN, THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN. THIS ISN'T THE ONLY ISSUE BUT THE CAR TURNS OFF AND THE STEERING LOCKS. IM NOT ABLE TO TURN OR STOP. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IM AT A VERY SLOW SPEED WHILE TURNING. IT HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. I WENT ONLINE AND IT WAS MANY COMPLIANTS AND REVIEWS ON THE 2003 TO 2006 MODELS. IM REALLY AFRAID THIS CAN CAUSE A COLLISION. IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAD ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND MADE A TURN ON A STREET WHILE STEERING. SOMEONE NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. I HAD OTHER RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE IN THE PAST.
