| Description of the problem | The flexible coupling (part # 56315-2k000) failed. Had to have the vehicle towed to the dealership due to lack of steering control. Hyundai refuses to warranty or recall the part even though thousands of people have posted the same complaint on this website. $260 repair for a $6. 00 part ($253. 00 labor). This is unacceptable on their part to not warranty or recall a defective part. |
