| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | When i turn the steering wheel to maneuver car in and out of the garage in either direction, it makes distinct click similar to the snap of a finger. It feels like something is preventing steering wheel to turn. My concern is that it becomes worse and at some point may lead to the failure of the steering wheel to steer causing serious accident. I notified hyundai america about this problem as well. |
