| Description of the problem | I purchased this car last august. I heard good things about hyunda sonatas. Yesterday i took my car in for a front end alignment at the dealer. After 4 hours i was told it can't be done because the steering rack is off center and steering wheel coupling needs to be replaced. All for a total of $1842! Now i find out there was a recall for the coupling but it expired at 100,000 miles and unfortunatley my car now has 100,347. Is there a chance i could get an extension on this particular recall to help lower the cost of this repair? Thank you (if you need a copy of the estimate i can send one to you) |
