| Description of the problem | Had my 2012 santa fe towed in to a local repair shop for a horrible noise, and was advised not only did i need new brakes at only 43,159 miles (seems early for this too) but that both front coil springs and strut mounts were extremely rusty and completely broken. These springs already had the 'boot' from the factory which was their 'fix' for prior model years with this same problem. There have been recalls for this problem up to 2011 model year - but not the 2012. My vehicle was just out of warranty. --- note - i still have the broken coil springs as proof. |
