| Description of the problem | Hyundai need to recall the steering column i spoke with a employee at hyundai and they explained this is a cheap part hyundai knows is tearing up and it makes steering wheel shake uncontrollably at 45 plus miles per hour. And it is causing other issues. Hyundai said part cost like 10. 00 but we have to pay $400 to have part changed. And at the time i was speaking to a employee he informed me he was putting one on at that present moment. Certain models are not covered and thus isn't fair if this happens to all hyundai sonatas |
