| Description of the problem | When first purchased in march of 2014 noticed a little clicking in steering when turned left or right. Now its gotten worst! Even when parked it clicks. When we hit the smallest bump on the road it clicks and shakes bad. I'm to the point of scared to drive my own car. I'm scared i would have no control of the steering one day. I can not drive this car with my 3 kids in it. I thought i bought me a safe family car. I was wrong. I'm doing my research right now and see lot others have this problem. It needs to be a recall. My hyundai dealer says it's the coupling. He knew exactly what problem i was having. Like it isn't news to him. It'll gonna cost me $349 to get this fixed?!?!? |
