| Description of the problem | As i was driving and/or steering i would hear a clicking noise. This was a safety concern to me so i did contact hyundai to see if there had been any recalls. I was told not at this time only recall was for a shift level cable. Ok so i proceed to the dealership to learn that the part is $7. 00 and the labor is $224. 00. Nice. I am currently unemployed and need a car to find a job so its a lose lose situation. In my option this part should have been on a safety recall as i review the complaints i see this issue has occurred in many of hyundai cars. Hyundai should take the responsibility to correct this safety issue. I was told that if i did not repair this part that much more damage would occur. I am asking that hyundai research and come to their senses and issue a recall and a refund to me for their error. Updated 09/15/15*lj updated 11/3/2017*cn |
