| Description of the problem | Our 2013 azera, with less than 29k miles, started wandering back and forth while driving. Even on neighborhood streets at slow speeds not just on city streets and highways. I started noticing that i had play in the steering wheel. At first it was only maybe a half inch but if i turned the wheel fast enough back and forth, it made a thumping noise and i could feel it in the wheel. Now there is 6 inches turn from left to right and the wheel and column rattles and thuds on every imperfection in road surface. The first indication was noticed 4 days ago. Today i fear it's not safe to drive anywhere. Even to drive in to get it repaired. The problem i have seems to be similar to those already documented complaints on this model and will be fixed at my expense since there is no recall for my year/model hyundai. As it is still under 30k miles, this is highly disappointing to say the least. |
