| Description of the problem | My steering wheel started to feel a little loose and started making a thumping noise when steering left or right. It does this only when the car is in idle or while been driven, does not do this when turned off. I was just told by a local mechanic the entire steering column will need to be replaced and that it is not the only newer hyundai sonata with this issue that he has had to repair. Cost of repair $900+ |
