Description of the problem	Steering wheel started to make a small "clunk" noise, which has now progressed to a large "clunk" noise and rattling of the wheel. This began some time ago, perhaps 4 months, and has just gotten worse. I took it in to a certified hyundai dealership to get it looked at and review for recalls. Well, after having to pay them $100. 00 without previously having agreed to, they tell me the part costs about $3. 00, but with labor would total $310. 00!!!! This should fall under a recall. I have seen so many people post online about the issue. I see where some people got it fixed for free, and others who had to pay! I emailed hyundai too, prior to taking it in to the shop, and they told me that i had to go to the shop to have it looked at. No help at all. I continue to drive my car, which i paid full price for, with the constant clunking! Mind you, i have children in the car and am terrified i will eventually loose control of the wheel and crash.
