Description of the problem | Steering column began making popping and clicking sounds. Found out there was a recall. Called hyundai and they said problem was fixed in 2010. The car was manufactured within the time frame of the recall. Was told that it couldn't be fixed under campaign or warranty as i was second owner. My children drive this vehicle and i am concerned for their safety. Dealer looked at it at my expense and said nothing wrong. There is a major problem when the car is steered, hits a bump in the road, or even turning. Loud clicking sounds like steerting column is falling apart. |
