| Description of the problem | This happened numerous times prior to me reporting this and i'm sure i've reported this in the past. The car makes a loud noise when i turnthe wheel. It comes out of nowhere and happens on occasion. It's hard to recreate where the noise is coming from. When i take it to the dealer they are unable to recreate the noise. I've been reading other complaints and it seems to be an ongoing issue with 2011 sonatas with the vin starting 5npec4... Odd. Please look into this. |
