2003 - Hyundai Santa Fe - March 29, 2011. The front right spring broke on my Santa Fe and punctured the tire. Luckly I was just pulling out of a parking lot and not on the road. Had this happened while I was driving, I may not be here today. I had to replace both front springs, struts, and four new tires for the entire cost of $1300. I would like Hyundai to be responsible for this repair cost since it was there defected spring that broke.
