| Description of the problem | I own sonata 2012 gls with current mileage approx. 41000. I get some noise every time i turn the car left or right. When i inquired to the dealer to get it fixed, they said it was a coupling on the steering column and which seems to be common with sonatas manufactured between 2011-13. I have to pay few hundreds to get this fixed before winter approaches else it will get worse. If this is common in sonatas, why hyundai hasn't recalled them yet. I do not think any other car, which is under 45000 miles experiencing this kind of problem. I am very much upset with hyundai. |
