Description of the problem	Car taken to dealer for recall work campaign 122 brake tube and campaign 123 transaxle shift lever. Dealer representative inspected car and notified owners that the steering coupler was failing and needed to be replaced. Representative showed us the part and stated that the material that it was made of was "too soft" and that the part would fail and leave the car "unsteerable" during operation. We authorized the repair of the steering flexible coupling part 56315-2k000-fff a $4. 41 part that required $270. 00 in labor to replace. This repair is not covered by hyundai warranty. A short search on the internet revealed that many other sonata owners are noticing the same defect in the steering. As owner of this car we are able to have this repair made for us and the motoring public's safety. My fear is that other hyundai sonata owners will ignore or not notice the clunk of the steering wheels operation before this part fails tragically.
