Description of the problem	I went into garage to move my 2004 hyundai santa fe out so my husband could put our 2009 hyundai sonata into it. The santa fe had been sitting in the garage for about 4 days undriven. When i started to back up, it was making a loud noise. I got out of the vehicle to make sure there was nothing in the way. Not seeing anything in my way, i continued to back the santa fe out to the street still hearing a loud noise. My husband came over to see what was making the noise and noticed that the whole front passenger side fender was resting on the tire. Upon raising it with the jack, he noticed that the front passenger suspension coil was broken. I even took pictures of it while it was jacked up. The upside to this whole thing is that we weren't driving it at a high speed when this happened. I'm sure we would have flipped the vehicle and been seriously injured or even killed. We have 84,647 miles on it and were always very meticulous with maintenance. We will call the dealership tomorrow, but from what i can see, it looks like an expensive repair.
