| Description of the problem | Shaking in steering... (thought it was ball joints - metal to metal)... Told there was no problem with ball joints & no other issues determined (with their test drive). Local hyundai service manager would not return repeated calls for complaint. Very disappointed now that "factory warranty & recall for steering problem" not worthy of repair at that time. Violently shaking now and hyundai service department says it is not part of a steering recall (previously patched)... Said it is a steering coupling (not the u joint which was part of the recall). |
