 Description of the problemI was driving my car and the steering wheel started to violently vibrate and shake up/down and in and out of steering column at 65 mph (not left to right when steering). It also made a clicking noise and vibration within the steering column when turning the car even when slightly correcting. I took it to hyundai and they fixed the the issue saying it was "common". They have had a recall on the vehicles manufactured in 2011. I had to pay for the same issue/loaner/and other fees. This is a safety issue that hyundai needs to fix for free for their consumers. I have complained to hyundai and requested a refund but i have not heard from them.
