| Description of the problem | My steering wheel has started to make this clicking noise when you turn it. As time goes on it is getting worse. I called hyundai dealer they told me exactly what it was before i gave anymore information because numerous people with my type of vehicle around 50,000-60,000 miles something in the steering column is breaking and it is almost $300 to fix. I do not feel i should have to take what money i have to fix a brand new car. I will wait until hyundai can fix it, if its there fault. But the question is what happens until then is it going to break on me one day and someones life is in danger????? Please help |
