Description of the problem	The steering wheel has some very noticeable play when turning the steering wheel to the left and right. The steering wheel makes a clicking clunking sound when turned both ways. Also whenever the car goes over any kind of pothole or any bumps in the road it makes a very loud rattling sound coming from the steering wheel column. The rattling has progressively gotten worse. Taking the car in today but i see that this is obviously a very common problem with this make and model. Love my sonata but disappointed i how a second owner is treated with issues that have nothing to do with being a second owner. If you believe your cars are built to last 100k miles stand by it and keep the mileage plan for everyone. Changing the miles and years just because someone new bought the car is unfair. I had to replace a hybrid battery cable for this car already, part cost $10 and the labor cost $300. Now from what i am reading the part for this fix is potentially $1 and i am going to pay 300%+ in labor.
