| Description of the problem | My 2011 hyundai sonata gls has a knocking in the steering when i turn the wheel it sounds as if something is loose and also knocking when i hit a speed bump. I contacted hyundai and they said my car is not one the 100,000 vin numbers that are affected by this recall although my car is having the same issues with what is in the recall. This is a known issue if you take a look at the following website http://www. Aboutlawsuits. Com/hyundai-sonata-recall-steering-problems-13090/? Replytocom=87856 you can see a lot of people with the same issue. The main issue is they are only fulfilling the recall to a small amount of sonatas made at a specific factory when they are many other cars with this defect. Hyundai is charging over $300 for the repair. As i continue to drive the car it is getting more loose and could eventually cause an accident |
