I was driving home on a rural street and heard a long clanking sound and then starting to smell rubber. I drove about 1. 5 miles like this and when I got home, the strut/coil spring on the right front was broken off and scraping my tire on the inside. Had I been on the beltway, my tire could have blown and a major accident would have occurred. Hyundia refuses to cover even though they have recalls for other models/years. I no longer trust this car.

After hearing a metal rubbing sound when turning right, took the 2012 Santa Fe into the shop. The mechanic discovered that the front right strut ruined was ruined, the plate it was attached to was broken, and both front coils rusted and broken at the same spot. This seems like a major defect for both coils to be broken at the same spot. This greatly jeopardized me, my wife and the three children in the back seat.

Had my 2012 Santa Fe towed in to a local repair shop for a horrible noise, and was advised not only did I need new brakes at only 43,159 miles (seems early for this too) but that both front coil springs and strut mounts were extremely rusty and completely broken. These springs already had the 'boot' from the factory which was their 'fix' for prior model years with this same problem. There have been recalls for this problem up to 2011 model year - but not the 2012. My vehicle was just out of warranty. --- note - I still have the broken coil springs as proof.

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. Clearly this part is defective. Coil had plastic sleeve on it, water must collect underneath and rust it out. Created case number 11066195 with Hyundai, but they have not acknowledged any responsibility, despite my repeated concerns about safety. They also would not reimburse me for repair because �it was outside warranty� and that I went to my family mechanic (due to lack of responsiveness from Hyundai). I saw online that Hyundai has had a history of defective front coil springs (even as recent of 2018), yet they have not taken my complaint seriously.

Traveling slowly on a side road, the front passanger side of my Santa Fe collapsed with the sound of a terrific boom. The coil spring on the passanger side had broken and dug like a knife into the tire, shredding the tire almost all the way around, leaving a deep, wide gash. Upon inspection, I saw that part of the coil had broken off. This problem is related to hyundia's "capaign 124," a recall for inspection and possible replacement of front end coil springs.

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.

Hyundai recall campaign 124/the dealer ordered the front coil spring on 12/16/2014 and has never received it. Hyundai can not tell them where the part is and has not been helpful in locating another part. A tire burst due to the recalled part so the car has been sitting undriveable at the maguire dealership in ithaca NY for over a month. As a consumer we have not been able to get any answers from Hyundai. This is a recalled part and they are not making any effort to fix the vehicle.

While driving heard a load noise in the front left of the car, then a rubbing noise. Upon inspection it was determined that the front left spring coil had broken. The tip of the broken spring was right up against my tire. If driven any further the spring could have shredded the tire and caused an accident.

I was in TN when I heard a slight "thunk" and then a continuous rattle under the vehicle. I assumed a broken exhaust bracket and left TN on 8/17/2014 to return to my home in saint louis mo. I traveled i55 in speeds in excess of 75 mph and listened to the rattle for about 100 miles. And then the rattle stopped and I assumed that the broken bracket had finally come loose and is now located somewhere on i55. I took my car to firestone and was stunned to learn that my right front suspension coil spring was missing and my right front strut was broken. An inspection of the left front coil spring also indicated significant corrosion and needed to be replaced for safety. Hyundai has recalled 419,000 vehicles of this type in DC and 20 other states specifically stating excessive corrosion as a result of road salt--this list excluded the state of mo which happens to also use road salt. My Hyundai has been in mo for 12 years. Hyundai needs to do the responsible thing and expand its recall to all states that use salt and perhaps to coastal states that have ocean salt.

Started to back my vehicle out of the driveway and heard a loud grinding noise. Stopped, got out and inspected to find that the front right coil spring had snapped and punctured my tire. Vehicle is undrivable and had to be towed. There was absolutely no warning. I have read dozens of other complaints about this same thing happening on other 2005 Hyundais. Hyundai really needs to look into this problem/defect. Thankfully, I was not driving at 55 mph on a highway as I'm sure serious injury/damage would have occurred.

My car is at a Hyundai service center for the recall campaign 124 on the front coil spring and the coil is fractured. My vehicle has been there three days and now I was informed that the part is on backorder and may take one week to one month or more for the part to be released only the guard is available at this time but not the coil spring that needs to be replaced on my vehicle. I feel this is unacceptable amount of time to wait for the repair and Hyundai should have had this part in stock and available to make the proper service needed on this recall. Please investigate this matter and advise. Thank you.

I was backing out of my driveway at 4am to go to work. I heard a loud grinding noise. My driveway is not long and I am on the road in about 5 ft. As I was turning the wheel I heard a loud pop and the right side of the car went down. I assumed I ran over something or that my brand new tires had failed. I managed to pull the car back into the driveway. Later that day as my husband was changing the tire he discovered the right front coil had broke and it punctured the tire. Thank goodness this didn't happen as I was driving on the highway. By reading all the other broken coil issues this is obviously a big problem for 2005 Hyundai's and it should be addressed and investigated.

Coil springs rotted and broke, about 5 years ago, just pulling away from the pumps at the gas station. Already paid for replacement out of own pocket. Happened while driving resulting in severe damage to tire and front end assembly. Nhtsa recall number: 14v435000. Not capable of scanning to computer due to lack of knowledge on how to.

Driving home from work at 9 pm loud pop and pulled over thought had blowout on my 6 week old new front tires! discovered my front right coil spring broke. Popped thru my tire. Out in freezing cold had to be towed and now have no car til fixed, seeing others on here with same car same issue.

While backing out of my garage during the cold month of December I heard a loud bang noise from the front of the vehicle. As I was moving the noise continued as I got onto the driveway. I got out of the vehicle and noticed that the front passenger side of the SUV was lower than the driver side. I was not able to move the vehicle due to the loud noise that got worse if I turned the wheel. I called for a tow truck and had it towed to the repair shop. The repair shop informed me that the front coil spring had snapped and was embeded into the tire. I ended up replacing the coil spring with a good/used one which was still very expensive. I have pictures of the vehicle.
