Description of the problem	Anytime i drive over 40 mph the steering wheel makes a loud clicking noise and shakes heavily. It's hard to control the wheel it feels like something is loose in the steering column. The clicking sounds as if something is vibrating so hard that it banging on something. When i took it to my mechanic he informed me he replaced a flexible coupling in 2 2011 sonatas within the last 6 wks. I looked online about the specific issue and thoundsand of 2011 sonata owners were complaining about the same thing. I called the hyundai of ft. Mill dealership in ft mill sc where i purchased the car to explain what i have been experiencing. Service rep larry v. Said that is a common problem amongst some sonatas made in 2011 which is why hyundai build the vehicle with a metal coupling vs. A rubber one. He said it's a dangerous matter because the steering wheel is not fully attached and the car could lose control while driving and the fragment wear down more and more as you drive. He informed me to have it replaced asap and it can cost up to 300.
