Description of the problem	I believe my problem started since i purchased the car in aug-2010. On the third day of purchase i returned to the dealer cause i noticed that on the freeway it lend to the right, nothing was done. This continued for severe months along with different exam & testing nothing ever conform a problem. About july of 2014 driving 80mph (to avoid being hit) i noticed steering wheel vibrated violently, since i had never driven over 75mph this problem was unknown to me. I thought it was the road or the sudden acceleration. Recently on april 27,2015 driving to work i noticed that no matter what speed over 50mph i was going, it cause the steering wheel to shake violently like if i have a flat. When car was checked i was told that the issue is in the steering column something bent/cracked. My car was manufacture on july 2, 2010 in alabama, a friend told me about a recall on 2011 sonata's. But when i called dealer i was told my car was not one of the recall ones. I don't understand how or who decides which car should be on the list, if a problem occurs in a specific time period shouldn't all vehicles be given the same importance. Safety should always be first before $$ doesn't hydundai know that this is how you keep families coming back. I had planned to purchase one for my daughter who is graduating in june but will have to rethink that . I love my car but not if safety is a issue, hydundai really needs to re-look at this problem!
