Description of the problem	I bought my 2004 hyundai santa fe new in february 2004. All of the brake pads had to be replaced at 23000 miles due to rusted calipers. However, my complaint is about something much more serious. The coil springs on both front mcphearson struts broke and penetrated the tires. The left front spring broke in february 2009 at about 23000 miles. The right front spring broke on 6/9/09 at approximately 24500 miles. Fortunately, the santa fe was parked in my garage both times the springs broke. Had the springs failed while i was driving down the road or on the thruway, there's no doubt in my mind that i would have crashed or rolled over. Although the tows and repairs were made under warranty at no cost to me, i don't trust the santa fe anymore and i do not intend to keep it.
