Description of the problem	Dear sir/madam, i'm contacting you to report what i strongly believe is a defect in the steering unit of hyundai sonata, 2011. In an article that was published in september 2010 at yahoo news, a recall problem of the sonata was reported after "complaints have come in about feeling looseness while driving or abnormal sounds coming from the steering columns." (http://voices. Yahoo. Com/hyundai-recall-2011-hyundai-sonata-sedans-steering-6864748. Html) my problem with hyundai matches the description of the complaints, with more complication: 1) when i start the car, without driving, if i steer the steering wheel left and right, i could hear an obnoxiously loud noise in the form of "clicking." one consumer videotapes this problem in this video https://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=otkcp-8xhsw 2) when i drive on a road that is less than perfectly smooth, i can hear a loud rattling noise, a noise that appears to be coming from loose parts in the column. The noise becomes most obvious and loudest when i drive slowly on brick roads. 3) the problem becomes most dangerous when i drive on the freeway. As i slow down to take an exit, the steering wheel goes viciously vibrating, making it hard to control or keep stable. This vibration is associated with a loud rattling noise coming from the steering column. I took the car to the hyundai dealer and talked to hyundai usa, both parties distanced the problem from campaign 97 (a steering intermediate shaft recall). The dealer says that i need to replace the entire steering column on my expenses. If the dealer is right that the problem is not related to the recall, then it is a new problem that needs to be addressed and investigated. Please take into account that the safety of hyundai sonata drivers could be endangered by this problem if not fixed. I hope to hear from you soon regarding this matter.
