| Description of the problem | I own a 2007 santa fe hyundai. My power system went out about three months ago. Luckily, i had just left the grocery store and was still in the parking lot. My car at the time had 26,334 miles on it. At first i thought it was the battery, but i had someone jump start my car, and after i drove it about three feet, i knew something was wrong. I couldn't steer it and coasted to a stop by a wendy's restaurant. I called my son and when he lifted the hood, he saw a round part just hanging there. I had to have my car towed to a dealer in waldorf, maryland. Apparently, the damper pulley came apart. They replaced damper pulley and belt. I was under warranty, but i still worry about it happening again every time i have to drive it on a main highway and in a lot of traffic. |
