| Description of the problem | I was hearing a clunking sound and my steering wheel was shaking alot. I took the vehicle straight to my mechanic and he said that my intermediate shaft is bad and that it is dangerous . He said the connection could break and i could lose the ability to steer the vehicle. I called hyundai and they said there were recalls on the 2011, but my vin # is not one of the cars. My vin# may not be one of the cars in the batch recalled but i have this problem with my car. Why should i have to repair a safety issue that hyundai should be held responsible for? |
