This was covered by hyundia recall campaign 124. I filled under case # 9878948. Spring repair 2/12/14, sold car 4/5/14, recall 2/4/15. They only would pay for $318 of the $917 total repair and said it has to go to a hyundia dealership. They refused to pay for the sensers, strut mounts , sway bar link etc per the invoice. I contacted the person I sold it to and made a dealer appmt but they didn't show. Hyundia consumer affairs 800‑633‑5151 told me to file a dispute with bbb autoline which I did under case # hyu1713624. They never responded. Bbb autoline now says that they don't handle recalls disputes but you do. I just talked to them and they referred me to you. Without ever talking to me, while I was trying to get the car into a dealer and waiting for the bbb autoline response hyundia closed out the case. Ironically hyundia would have replaced both springs with oem, all other damaged parts and any damaged tires per their recall. It would have cost them 2x as much as the $917. They wouldn't even call my mechanic who the local hyundia dealer acknowledged as reputable. In our case, the broken spring bent the strut, damaged the sway bar and tore the ABS sensor wire. The language in the recall information actually calls for the dealer to replace installed non-oem struts with oem struts so the new bracket will fit properly. Given this, I am surprised that you chose not to pay for the cost of the one strut and mount ($62.1 6 +$135.88) & repair ($37.20) and the spring repair ($37.20). Likewise hyundia chose not to pay for the damaged ABS sensor ($175.94) and its repair ($55.80). In minnesota, like most states, parts are subject to sales tax of 7.125%. In this case it added up to ($45.25) which hyundia chose not to pay. Likewise hyundia choose not to pay the shop supplies ($13.18) and the environmental fee ($4.93) which are pretty typical.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 hyundai santa fe. While the vehicle was undergoing an alignment, the independent mechanic diagnosed that the front coil springs were rusted, fractured, and needed to be replaced. In addition, the ABS warning indicator illuminated, there was an abnormal noise, and the vehicle was unstable when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact had to cautiously apply the brake pedal and, at times, depress the brake pedal with force to ensure that the vehicle would stop. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 14v435000 (suspension) and 04v131000 (service brakes, hydraulic); however, the manufacturer issued three tsbs for the brakes and three tsbs for the suspension. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was not available. *tt

Hyundai recall campaign 124/the dealer ordered the front coil spring on 12/16/2014 and has never received it. Hyundai can not tell them where the part is and has not been helpful in locating another part. A tire burst due to the recalled part so the car has been sitting undriveable at the maguire dealership in ithaca ny for over a month. As a consumer we have not been able to get any answers from hyundai. This is a recalled part and they are not making any effort to fix the vehicle.
