Description of the problem	My 2014 santa fe sport began shaking violently at 72 mph. I took it to a shop thinking the wheels had become unbalanced. Immediately the vehicle began shaking again. I again took it for re-balancing. Same shaking problem. I took it a third time to an auto repair shop who found that the calipers were so hot they were about to burn. You could feel and smell the heat. The shop replaced the calipers thinking the shaking was a braking issue since every time i applied the brakes, the vehicle would shake even worse. The caliper replacement did not fix the issue. Finally after replacing the brake pads, calipers, and rotors, the shop did another road test. Then the car not only shook but the engine started knocking due to tie rod failure. The vehicle continued to be dangerous to drive, so the shop had it towed to hyundai for an engine replacement under a tsb. Hyundai replaced the engine but would not take responsibility for the caliper and braking issues, which ended up being directly related to the engine issue.
