Santa Fe

  • 100,000 miles
The contact owns a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. While driving approximately 65 mph, the contact heard a loud abnormal noise coming from the front of the vehicle. Additionally, the vehicle swayed to the right and the contact had to apply excessive force to the steering wheel. The contact discovered that the coil spring was fractured and exposed, causing the front passenger side tire to blow out. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the front coil springs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the loud noise persisted. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 14V435000 (suspension), but the remedy was not yet available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
