2011 Hyundai SONATA Steering Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1238355

Model	SONATA
Model Year	2011
File date	10/02/15
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Noticed while turning into a parking spot the steering had major play in steering wheel, is noticeable slow speeds but not as much play as turning into parking space, and seems to be more noticeable while going slow or going over rough road like steering column is loose. Makes noise like something is worn out and is metal to metal. Driving fast on highway i do feel much vibration. I took car to have all tires balanced and no help. So i believe is still part of same problem inside steering column. Sad part there is recall for 2011 sonata se/limited for same steering problem but for some reason my car was not part of recall. But my car as all same problems of sonata se/limited's that were recalled. I see many owners like myself that are not part of the recall for same problem are venting on blogs, utube and internet. If vehicle of same year is left out of recall then there was a positive fix implemented either at factory or from recall. Seems to me what ever reason so many other sonata se/limited were left out of recall the fix or change of materials was no fix at all.
