| Description of the problem | My steering wheel has a significant click when i turn on it. I went to the dealership and they told me it was not covered under warranty. Hyundai of tampa told me it was a coupling in the steering wheel column and it is a common problem. I have 71745 miles on a 2012 sonata. Hyundai had a recall with this problem on their 2011 model, but not one under 2012. I spoke to jessica with hyundai customer connect center. She was polite but could not do anything except offer me a $35 coupon for maintenance. |
