Description of the problem	The steering wheel felt loose one day after coming home from work. Then my wife used the car and told me that she noticed the car felt like it wasn't responding on the turns like usual? So we had the car like this for a few months but got used to this problem and thought it was just wear and tear. Well one day i had to avoid another vehicle that was creeping out of a driveway and couldn't see me, and when i made that sudden quick half turn to the left the car kept on driving straight so i braked hard locked up the wheels and skidded about 4 feet or so! We immediately took the sonata in to get it checked and we were then told that we were pretty lucky because the steering column was not held on by the steering flex coupler, had no idea what i was being told. But later i was told by a fleet member there that i was pretty lucky to never have lost control of the car while making a turn or braking hard... Wow! I just started wondering how many sonatas have been in accidents because of something related to this? I just feel that this part was defective and never should of had any problem with my steering column. $474. 96 cost for this repair.
