| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | When i turn my steering wheel either left or right there is a knocking/clunking in the steering column. This happens whether the vehicle is in motion or stationary. Also, while the vehicle is in motion and i drive over a rough spot or dip in the road or cross a rr track, the steering wheel shakes and rattles. I understand this is a worn rubber cushion in the steering column and costs upwards of $300 to repair. The issue/item was a recall on 2011-2013 sonata's, but not on the 2014. This appears to be an ongoing issue with the sonata. Why haven't the newer models been recalled as well? |
