2011 Hyundai Santa Fe Suspension

The undercarriage is completed rusted and is not drivable, I had the treatment done by the dealer to have it coated to protect it from rust. well, its rusted.

PURCHASED USED VEHICLE SEP 2018 FROM USED CAR CHEVY DEALER. 3 DAYS INTO DRIVING THE RIGHT FRONT SPRING BROKE AND PUNCTURED THE TIRE FORCING ME TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE QUICKLY, LUCKILY WITHOUT ACCIDENT. CAR TOWED & REPAIRED BY DEALER. HYUNDAI WOULD NOT RESPOND TO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EVEN THOUGH HAVE SEEN OTHERS WITH SAME ISSUE. CAR SOUNDED HORRIBLE AND I HAVE HAD THE SUSPENSION STRUTS AND COILS REPLACED NOW TWICE WITH THIS VEHICLE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS DUE TO BAD WEAR, ABRASIONS AND SQUEAKING IN THE SUSPENSION. REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT WORK DONE AGAIN ON SEP. 2020. POOR QUALITY METAL AND PARTS WITH THIS VEHICLE BRAND AND DESIGN.

FRONT RIGHT STRUT SPRING RELEASED FROM THE MOUNTING WITH A LOUD BANG AND WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE TIRE. THIS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH. THE TIRE WAS DAMAGED. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH FRONT STRUTS.

BROKEN COIL SPRING. COULD HAVE COLLAPSED ONTO TIRE WHILE MOVING. GARAGE FOUND THE PROBLEM AND HAD IT REPAIRED WITH NEW QUICK STRUTS.

2011 HYUNDAI SANTA FE GLS (ALL WHEEL DRIVE) 2.4L ENGINE. MILEAGE = 61,339 TRAVELING AT APPROX. 40 MPH ON A SECONDARY PAVED ROAD THE EVENING OF 3/31/2015, HEARD A LOUD BANG AND GRINDING NOISE ORIGINATING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE SPRING, WHICH ALLOWED THE SPRING TO FALL DOWN AROUND THE STRUT AND COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE INSIDE AREA OF THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE. SPRING HAD TO BE REPLACED AT OUT OF POCKET COST BECAUSE VEHICLE IS JUST OVER THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY LIMIT. CALLED HYUNDAI AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO ACTIVE RECALL FOR BROKEN COIL SPRINGS ON THE 2011 SANTA FE MODELS. HYUNDAI WOULD NOT COVER THE PARTS/LABOR TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM EVEN AS A GOOD FAITH EFFORT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS 1,339 MILES PAST THE WARRANTY LIMIT. *TR
