Internal NHTSA #	10761939

Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Beginning august 31st, 2015 my 2011 hyundai sonata's steering wheel started making a clicking noise whenever it drove over any large bumpy areas in the road, no matter the speed driven over the bumps. Over the next week the steering wheel itself has started to feel like it is loosening and now makes the clicking noise whenever steering wheel is turned at all. Very little movement from the steering wheel causes a clicking noise now and there is significant movement in the wheel from the column, even when not in motion. The steering itself seems to be affected now as well, as it takes more maneuvering from the wheel by me to drive in normal conditions. From what i have read online and from the recall on some 2011 sonata's this issue can become very dangerous and life threatening. I looked up the vin to my vehicle and according to nhtsa and hyundai. Com my vehicle is not covered under this recall, even though the issues are exactly the same as what the recall covers.
