Description of the problem	My steering column has began to rattle and shake affecting the steering of the vehicle, it is especially worsened in the steering wheel and vibrates dramatically over bumps and when braking which is very scary. I've gotten at least 4 recalls on this vehicle since i purchased it and when i asked about this particular issue the dealership immediately knew what i was talking about but stated there was no recall. Instead, they informed me that the services would be roughly around $250 to replace a $2 rubber coupler. I find this very disturbing as this is a known issue and the company will not fix it, instead i was told that continued driving will result in an accident which forces me to either pay for the repair or try to fix this myself. The symptoms started late 2015 and my vehicle only has 80k miles. If this is a defect caused by hyundai... Then it should be replaced by hyundai. Placing a known defective part on your vehicles and leaving the expense on your consumer is unacceptable. Especially when its a safety hazard not only to the driver but anyone else on the road.
