| Description of the problem | While in motion i noticed that i started having extra play in my steering. I took the car to get the alignment checked out. After repairing 2- tire rods the ase certified technician informed me that the play still existed and that it was a recalled item that hyundai would repair. I then called hyundai care and set-up an appointment to get the repair completed. When i arrived at the pohanka dealership they advised me that the repair had been completed in 2010 and that i would be required to pay for this repair. The service advisor did so without inspecting my vehicle. |
