Description of the problem	There is an issues with the steering coupling on my 2011 hyundai sonata. This car has less than 50000 miles and has been maintained since i've owned this vehicle. The steering wheel feels like it could fall of at any moment it shakes violently when stopping and also when going over 60 miles and hour. The smallest bumps in the road cause a violent shaking as well. This part the coupling is literally a piece of rubber the size of a quarter it cost 15 dollars at the part store and the dealership wants 200 dollars to fix it. I know several other sonata owners that are having this same issue and every website i've found there have been many many of the same complaints. When i called my local dealership the man i spoke to new exactly what was wrong and how much it would cost to fix. He also said this is a common problem with the 2011 sonata. This is a major safety issue. Please issue a recall!!!!!
