Description of the problem	While purchasing new tires, it was determined that the left front spring on my daughter's 2013 hyundai sonata (only 43,000 miles) was broken. Driving under this condition could have caused loss of control and a serious accident if the spring had moved and punctured the tire. My daughter said she occasionally would hear a rattle at the front wheel-well while driving prior to the break being identified. I drove the car and found the rattling noise to be continuous on small road defects/bumps on the way to the repair shop. Suspension springs should normally last the life of the car. The car was at the shop for four days awaiting a hyundai dealer to get the part back in stock, forcing my daughter to get a rental car. The replacement hyundai part number is 54630 3q114. A limited recall was issued several years ago for 2011 sonata's with the identical problem. A google search shows that numerous other sonata owners have experienced this exact problem since that recall but so far it has not been expanded. The problem is apparently more prevalent in northern climates where salt is used for snow/ice removal causing corrosion in the springs. Hyundai needs to come up with a permanent fix for this problem and issue an expanded recall for all sonata's.
