| Description of the problem | My steering wheel has a clicking noise as i turn the wheel which is very annoying. I went to the hyundai dealership and they said it is a steering column couper that is worn down. The dealership is in process of seeing if hyundai will replace the small device. It should be a recall since hundreds or thousands of people have this complaint. So far, i caught it early and it does not shake yet like some. |
