| Description of the problem | Taking my car to the dealership on dec. 1 to get seatbelt recalls addressed and requested that they check my steering wheel issue. The steering clanks and rattles when turning and when going over rough roads it is terribly noisy. Driving over 60 causes the steering wheel to rattle and vibrate too. It is just a scary sound and feeling to be driving and thinking your steering wheel might fly off and you'll go heading into the woods! They said they have a lot of complaints about this same issue and i am not alone. They deal with this hyundai issue daily. Hoping this will be just an easy fix of the gasket or whatever has eroded and not become something greater. I am glad i can schedule an appointment to address this concern. |
