Description of the problem	When driving the vehicle on even a slightly bumpy road, the components inside the steering wheel rattle violently. There seems to be a lot of play in it and as time goes on, it has gotten worse. Sometimes there is clicking when making a turn and always when turning the wheel while the car is stationary. I spoke to someone in the service dept at my local dealer and was told it was a known issue but hyundai will not cover the cost of repair. In researching this issue i also see where there had been a previous recall on this problem but it has since closed. We bought the car used after the fact. I think it's kind of shady that if hyundai is having recurring issues on the same makes and models even years after the original recall, then maybe they ought to issue another. My vin # may not have been included in the original recall, but obviously they haven't adequately addressed the issue to prevent it from happening to future vehicles. It also seems that i'm not the only 2011 sonata owner who's dealing with it. Makes me wonder why there isn't a class action going yet.
