There was no vibration that an impact would have caused. We didn't know what had caused the noise. 2004 hyundai, santa fe drove fine. Two days later, when making a low speed right turn, the right front tire blew out. When the tire was removed it was discovered that the…

On april 21, 2011 went to back suv out of my driveway when the front left tire went flat. After removing the tire found tire had a hole on inside wall of tire . This was caused by the coil spring protruding out. Upon further inspection found the coil spring broken. The car had to be towed to a repair shop. I feel very lucky this did not happen while driving at a high rate of speed. *tr

Was just pulling the car down the drive way and the front passenger side tire blew out. I stopped the car and a friend was going to change the tire. He noticed the spring had broken loose and punctured the tire. The car had been sitting in the drive way for 12 to 15 hours before we went to drive it. We had not even made it on the road and was only going a couple miles per hour and about 15 to 20 feet. We were on our…

I tried to start my 2004 santa fe but the engine would not turn over (it cranked fine so we knew it was not the battery). While it was being dragged onto the tow truck the driver's side front tire deflated. The wheel did not turn while being dragged up the truck ramp. The repair shop said that the front spring had snapped and triggered a kill switch to the fuel line which prevented the car from starting. I never…

I drive a used, 2004 hyundai santa fe gls. Very recently, i was just leaving work when a seemingly very ordinary thing happened to my car. I was stopped at a stop sign, waiting to take a left turn. As soon as i accelerated and began to turn, my vehicle suffered a blown-out front-passenger side tire. As the tire blew out, i heard a loud "clunk"and then a "pop". Surprised, i pulled the car over as soon as i could, off…

I bought my 2004 hyundai santa fe new in february 2004. All of the brake pads had to be replaced at 23000 miles due to rusted calipers. However, my complaint is about something much more serious. The coil springs on both front mcphearson struts broke and penetrated the tires. The left front spring broke in february 2009 at about 23000 miles. The right front spring broke on 6/9/09 at approximately 24500 miles.…

I was traveling down the highway at 70mph when, all of a sudden, i heard a bang and the car veered out of control. It was a terrifying experience. I regained control of the car i was able to safely pull to the side of the road to investigate and i noticed that the coil spring broke. The following day i brought my vehicle to the hyundai dealer and they charged an outrageous amount to replace. Not very likely that i…

One month ago,with 40,600 miles on my hyundai santa fe the right front spring broke and shredded my tire which the hyundai dealer replaced under warranty. Three weeks later the left front spring broke and shredded that tire also. If i had been on the express way, i probably wouldn't be here to tell about it. In the past fifty years i have owned 15 cars and never had a front spring break down much less two in three…
