Description of the problem	I purchased this car less than a year ago. The steering wheel is making a clicking noise when moved from left to right and there is a clunking sound coming from the steering column when driving between 10 - 40 mph. When searching online, i have noticed that hundreds of hyundai owners that have this make and model are experiencing the same issue. I feel unsafe when driving this car, especially when my grandchildren are with me. I understand there was a recall but i was told my car did not qualify. The dealer wants to charge me $100 just to look at it. This is a major safety issue!!!! Is hyundai waiting for someone to be killed before they do something and take responsibility for their cars. I now have 64,000 miles on this car, 4000 over the warranty and hyundai refuses to fix unless i pay up front. I was told that hyundai was a very good car but after reading all these horror stories about the steering issues, i will never purchase a hyundai again. I believe safety comes before money and hyundai should take responsibility and issue a recall for all 2011 sonatas. Please help in keeping everyone safe and make hyundai stand behind their cars and fix these known issues. Thank you.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
