| Description of the problem | Purchased a 2013 hyundai sonata around april of 2019. Noticed a slight clunking noise when turning steering wheel left or right immediately after purchase. Took it to the hyundai dealership in chambersburg pa. They took care of 2 open recalls. Then they asked if we wanted to fix the clunking noise in the steering wheel & said there were no current recalls for it yet. The noise has changed to a louder more constant noise at all speeds and road conditions that is really annoying & makes us fear that there is a more extensive problem. Found out that the 2011 models had a recall for the problem & are very concerned about our vehicle. We drive a lot on interstates & do not want to risk a loss of steering. We have grandchildren that are babies! Please help! |
