Description of the problem	While driving to work from my residence, i began hearing a clicking sound when turning my steering wheel, as well as experiencing extensive "play" in it as well. This made it difficult to maintain my lane on the highway, which has very close traffic, and made response to my steering actions seem delayed because of said play. Even on normal city, surface streets, it was not handling correctly, and took effort to maintain my designated lane, as well as making turns and response to other traffic where my steering was pertinent. The issue progressively worsened to the point i was afraid to drive it. I researched the issue and found that it is not an isolated incident in hyundai vehicles, as well as their kia vehicles. I could not find a recall, but did see where they extended the warranty on kia vehicles to address the problem and avoid the recall. So why not on the hyundai vehicles affected with this safety problem.
