Description of the problem	5/25/2011, approx. Time 8:45 a. M. 2004 santa fe lx, 38,828 miles on vehicle. Original owners, bought new. Vehicle was sitting in our driveway, got in to leave for doctors appt., moved about two feet, when we heard this loud noise and air gushing sound from the right front of our car. Went out to investigate and found the coil spring had ruptured and cut through the sidewall of the tire. Thank god we were not traveling on any road or interstate hwy., i would not be telling this. Hyundai motors of america, corporate office was notified of my issue, and the fact the left spring could rupture at any time. They offered in good faith to pay for right spring and tire, but would not replace left front spring. Hyundai motors of america should be responsible for these defected coil springs and recall all 2004 santa fe to replace front coil springs and any other mechanical systems that were affected by the ruptured coil springs. Many owners of 2004 santa fe are not aware of this issue, hopefully hyundai will take full responsibility before their are any fatalities, god bless us, and i pray he will keep us safe!!!!!
