Description of the problem	I drove to work without incident on a major interstate at 6am. My car was parked in a secure lot for 8. 5 hours. When i went to leave for the day, i started the car, put it drive and began to roll forward. When the car began to move i heard a loud grinding noise and stopped immediately. I called my husband and had him listen to it by phone. We had the car towed to out local hyundai deal who informed us that the drivers side spring had broken which broke the strut, pinched the brake line and bent the sway bar. Total repair cost was 1053. 31 with tax. We opted to replace both front springs and struts because we felt this was the safest thing to do after researching on the internet and discovering that there were hundreds of the same complaint in all santa fe's no matter what the year especially after reading that many of them occurred on an interstate traveling at 65 mph resulting in further damage and injury accidents.
