Description of the problem | I noticed my steering wheel had play in it. Took to hyundai dealer and they stated i needed a coupler and intermediate shaft and bolts to be replaced. My vehicle had 73,008 miles. Asked why this could happen on such low miles they stated parts don't last forever. Dealer summit the claim to hyundai and hyundai denied therefore i had to pay for repair since this was a safety issue. |
