| Description of the problem | My hyundai started with a clicking when i would hit any bumps but then started making more load noises when i would turn the wheel. Then all of the sudden it started rapidly shaking while i was driving down the highway at any speed above 50. It is a driving hazard and should be recalled. It's absolutely crazy that this car is allowed on the road like this. You have no control when it starts shaking. I took it in and they said they repaired it for over $300. Its been a few months and it is doing the exact thing but now they are saying they need to replace the entire steering rack for over $1180. There have been so many recalls on this car for steering, it should all be covered. What is it going to take for someone to take this seriously. |
