| Description of the problem | Had no idea there was this many complaints about the steering i as well had a rattle in the steering when i went over a bump or turned my wheels it would make a loud noise, was told by someone in my hometown they had an elantra that something in steering broke and caused them to brake so i was really paranoid then. I called the dealer told me exactly what it was as soon as i told him how it was doing and that's a $200 fix i said this must happen a lot reply was yes in sonatas and elantras why isn't there a recall my car doesn't even have 58,000 miles on it and have never had anything like this happen in any other vehicle i have owned. Once drove one for 15 years never had this problem!! |
