Description of the problem	While driving on a straight, smooth section of interstate highway my wife and i heard a very loud boom, as if we had hit a large rock or something. There was no vibration that an impact would have caused. We didn't know what had caused the noise. 2004 hyundai, santa fe drove fine. Two days later, when making a low speed right turn, the right front tire blew out. When the tire was removed it was discovered that the coil spring had broken, made contact with the tire and ripped it about three quarters around completely through. After researching the topic i was appalled at how many complaints there were about broken springs on 2004 santa fes. It seems to be a recurrent problem with this vehicle and should be recalled. If the spring had ruptured the tire when it apparently broke, on the highway i hesitate to think what would have happened, or how many lives would be at risk. I believe it is time hyundai stepped-up and recall the springs.
