| Description of the problem | I bought a used 2011 hyundai sonata in march for my birthday, and about 3 months ago, the steering wheel started shaking violently any time i got to 60mph or higher. Upon further investigation, i found out i needed a new steering coupler. Before it got fixed, my dome lights, and all of the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel (trip, cruise control) stopped working. After being fixed, none of the above mentioned things work, but also now,my power locks, dash clock and horn stopped working. I almost got hit by another driver a few days ago, and didnt even have a horn to honk! |
