Description of the problem	Recently the steering has a little slack and when i hit a bump, it sounds and feels like the steering wheel will end up in my lap. My wife doesn't want the kids to ride with me. This car has very few miles- only 40,400 miles- and shouldn't clank and rattle when you encounter minor bumps. I took the car for other recalls and was told the hyundai recall 097 & nhtsa #10v-426 wasn't for my car and i'm out of warranty (under 60,000 but past 5 years as of 5 months ago). It was going to cost a little over $300 to fix (mostly labor) as the part was $2. 99. When i asked if it was a safety concern, i was told no, only nuisance issue. I'll say so- it jars my eye teeth. Re-entry from space is probably smoother.
