Description of the problem	Driving and heard a loud "bang" and felt vibration from front of car. The steering became very difficult and car was almost uncontrollable. Pulled over to side of road, exited vehicle and could see car was sitting very low to ground on front passenger side, tire was flat and could see interior side wall was shredded. Replaced the tire with spare and drove approx. Three miles to tire dealer as we suspected it was only a tire failure at that time. They looked at car and stated that the coil spring had broken and had cut the tire. Subsequently had car towed to dealership for repairs. Had been driving car earlier in day with no apparent issues and had not hit any potholes or other road hazards that would have broken a coil spring. There were no issues with road conditions at the point of incident either. Extremely concerning that this would fail with no indication of any issue with suspension/steering system. This seems like a premature time for a coil spring failure. Hyundai has also refused to provide any warranty service as it is 4,000 miles over the 60,000 mile warranty. ...
