Description of the problem	My car was in the shop to resolve nhtsa campaign numbers 13v113000 and 15v568000 - hyundai campaign numbers 132 & 136. I was told that - unrelated to the recall issues - a $3. 00 bushing needed to be replaced in the steering column at a replacement cost of about $257. 00. I advised that neither i nor a very frequent passenger in my car had ever heard a clunking noise as described by the service advisor or had noticed any other problem with the steering regardless of speed and/or terrain. Thus, i refused to have the service performed. I then checked out the nhtsa. Gov site and found a huge number of complaints regarding this issue. I then called hyundai motors and advised that i was not experiencing a problem but clearly a problem was being anticipated. Hyundai motors said they would document my file but put me on hold several times. I am convinced hyundai motors communicated and conspired with the repair shop and that sabotage is involved because when i later returned to pick up my vehicle, the service advisor demonstrated a distinct sound upon turning the steering wheel - a sound not so subtle that both my frequent passenger and me would have missed it. I told the service advisor i had never heard that sound before but still felt compelled to pay for the repair. Nhtsa should make this an across the board recall and require hyundai to reimburse owners for the cost of repairs. After all, i was told by a hyundai service advisor that it is a safety concern.
