| Description of the problem | I went to the dealership because of the unstable steering. They told me that coupler was broken and it is very common issue with 2011 hyundai sonata. But there is no recall on this. Even when the coupler was replaced, the car is still unstable with steering. There is a recall on hyundai sonata for electronic power steering system. My car was not included, but i think my car is also affected by the problem. I am afraid this car is not safe to drive. I think nhtsa should extend the eps recall on hyundai sonatas to all 2011 hyundai sonata. |
