| Description of the problem | This complaint refers to the srs airbag system in the santa fe. While the airbag system is intact i have been told by a certified hyundai repair center that the clock spring and the junction box have failed. Given the premature nature of this failure i believe that this system is flawed and represents a widespread hazard to the american public. In addition, all four brake rotors and the sway bar needed to be replaced with less than 70,000 miles due to excessive wear which rendered them unsafe (according to the aforementioned center). |
