Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Upon reaching the 70 mph speed limit the vehicle's steering began to vibrate when turning to the right. Recently had new tires and wheel alignment done so that problem it is not . It appears as though it is getting worse as the steering now makes a clunking noise whether moving or not. Also there appears to be many issues with this and hyundai has issued a safety alert, but no recall. This incident will ultimately result in injuries and possibly fatalities if not addressed. Hopefully the nhtsa will force dealers to replace these faulty parts before that happens. *js |
