Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | With less than 22,000 miles, the steering wheel began making a knocking sound when turned left to right while driving or stationary. The steering wheel was more difficult to control as time went on. I took it in for repairs and found that the coupler had been shredded. This is a $5 piece which costs a few hundred dollars to have replaced by an auto shop. Hyundai should be replacing these, instead of its customers. |
