NHTSA Complaint #10608327 — 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE

NUMEROUS VISITS TO THE LOCAL DEALER FROM 2010 THROUGH THIS VISIT FOR CLUNKING AND BANGING OF THE SUSPENSION WITH CONCERNS FOR SAFETY. THEY BEGRUDGINGLY REPLACED A TIE ROD IN 2011 ON ONE SIDE, LINK ASSEMBLY STABILIZER ON BOTH SIDES, LOWER ARM ASSEMBLY ON LEFT - AND NOW THAT RIGHT CONTROLLER ARM IS FAULTY AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH THEY REFUSE TO HONOR THE WARRANTY. WHEN THERE ARE CONCERNS OF SAFETY FOR OVER 3 YEARS FOR THE SAME ISSUE I BELIEVE THEY NEED TO LAUNCH A FULL SCALE INVESTIGATION. HYUNDAI IS IN THE NEWS FOR OTHER SUSPENSION FAILURES. OBVIOUSLY FAULTY/POOR QUALITY PARTS ARE KNOWN. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO LIVE UP TO THE 60,000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY I HAD, AND THE 10 YEAR 100,000 WARRANTY I STILL HAVE. THE WEAR AD TEAR ON THIS VEHICLE IS MINIMAL (DRIVEN TO WORK 6 MILES ROUNDTRIP AND EASY FREEWAY DRIVING MAYBE ONCE A MONTH). IN ADDITION TO THE SUSPENSION MY PASSENGER VISOR FELL OFF THE CEILING AND DANGLES UNLESS DUCT TAPED. WAY TO GO HYUNDAI. *TR
