| Description of the problem | My car model, hyundai sonata 2011, has been recalled for engine issues. I checked the vin number of my car and my car has been affected. When i took my car to dealership they told me because my car is not making a clicking noise they will not fix it. I told them that my car has been recalled and i want them to take care of it. They refused it because according to them they did not hear anything. Recently my car started making clicking noises when i turn my wheel. It seems that the steering wheel is loose. I can especially feel it when i go through bumps. Even when i am stopped and turn the wheel from side to side i can hear the noise. I am hoping that when i take my car to dealership they will fix the problem as i saw a recall for this issue as well. Looks like the dealership only wants to fix the smaller type of recalls and not the major pricy ones. |
