| Description of the problem | I just got off the highway and coming into town approaching a four way stop. I stopped and when i started to go the car made a horrible loud noise and would not go forward. I made it half way through the intersection and it completely died. The car wouldn't go forward or backward. I called roadside assistance and they picked up my car and took it to the dealer ship and the dealership called me the next day and told me i had a broken axle that they would have to replace. I bought the 2013 santa fe in september and this happened on march 2013 only about 6 months old. |
