Description of the problem	When i went in for an oil change and brake noise complaint (which is another constant problem), i was questioned if i was hearing clicking in the steering wheel when turning. I hadn't. I was told that this was a problem with the 2011 and 2012 sonatas' steering coupler, and if i didn't hear the noise, i soon would so i should fix it (~$360). I asked if there was a recall, since it seemed to be enough of a problem that it was a known problem at the dealership. They said there was no recall, but i should get it replaced. I hadn't heard any noises, so i declined the repair. Little did i realize, it would begin the very next day. My steering wheel now rattles and clicks every time i go over even a small bump in the road, or turn my steering wheel, and it is getting worse. I even called hyundai, and they didn't seem to know what i was talking about. If the dealership has seen this in multiple cars, and there are plenty other similar complaints online, why is this not a recall? Why are the owners being responsible for this repair?
