Description of the problem	The steering wheel is making a clicking sound and has a little slack in it. I took it to a local repair shop they sent me to the dealer saying that he seen so many of them he knows it has to be a recall by now and that they should take care of the cost. My husband called nissan's complaint center and they made arrangements for me to have a loaner car. I was to bring the car in to be looked at the following morning at 7:30 when i arrived i was supposed to see a woman name holly she was very rude she told me that she wasn't giving me a loaner because it's no longer under warranty and then i'd have to pay full price for the repair which is $180 more than what i was quoted at the local car pair shop. I was told by a few hyundai owners that it was a recall item however it was on 2011 i believe that this should be a recall item on 2012 as well. This problem happens on the highway i'm just local streets every time you hit a bump it has a terrible rattle i believe it's on safe just a matter time that the power steering is going to go out and i think that they need to make the repair. However i'm on jury duty as i explained to them for the next six weeks i happen to have today off but i don't know when i'll have another day off and it's a long day.
