    Loud clanking noise on right front side. Strut is broken. Popping cover off under hood. Lot of movement. I read there are a lot of issues with right front suspension on 2012 santa fe. If this is true where is the recall. Parts are very expensive

    Front coil spring rusted and broke; it rubbed against my tire. Not sure how tire did not rupture while i was driving on i-95. The other front coil spring was rusted, but it did not break yet.

Created case number 11066195 with hyundai, but they have not acknowledged any responsibility, despite my repeated…
