| Description of the problem | I notice some play and a knocking noise in the steering wheel, along with a knocking /rattling sounds in the steering column area when driving on bumpy roads. This issue may have been present for the last few weeks and as of yet has not gotten any worst. This was mention to a coworker of mine who was a previous sonata owner and informed me that hyundai had a recall on this issue. Checked for recalls with vin and none were found. Other then for a certain year previous. From researching on line this seems to be more wide spread problem then hyundai is leading to believe. And no one says how dangerous this may be, if lost of complete steering is possible? |
