What owners say
2006 hyundai santa fe. Consumer writes in regards to front coil spring corrosion recall notice and fuel tank replacement parts still not available to complete repairs.
Traveling slowly on a side road, the front passanger side of my santa fe collapsed with the sound of a terrific boom. The coil spring on the passanger side had broken and dug like a knife into the tire, shredding the tire almost all the way around, leaving a deep, wide gash. Upon inspection, I saw that part of the coil had broken off. This problem is related to hyundia's "capaign 124," a recall for inspection and possible replacement of front end coil springs.
On february 24, 2012 I went out to my car to go to daycare and work my car was lowered to the ground all four tires seem to be flat. I called the closest garage. They towed my car, repaired it for $2028.91. In september 2014., I received a recall from hyundai for the coil spring. After 6 months correspondence with them, they gave me only 949.03. I feel they should reimburse me the entire expenses.
My car is at a hyundai service center for the recall campaign 124 on the front coil spring and the coil is fractured. My vehicle has been there three days and now I was informed that the part is on backorder and may take one week to one month or more for the part to be released only the guard is available at this time but not the coil spring that needs to be replaced on my vehicle. I feel this is unacceptable amount of time to wait for the repair and hyundai should have had this part in stock and available to make the proper service needed on this recall. Please investigate this matter and advise. Thank you
