THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND INSPECTED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED 20,000 MILES LATER.

CLICKING WHEN MOVING THE STERRING WHEEL FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHETHER MOVING OR SITTING STILL

THE ENGINE STOPPED IN MY CAR, AND THERE WAS A KNOCK AS THE CAR MOVED AT A SPEED OF 30 MILES. I FOUND INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET THAT MY CAR IS SUBJECT TO NHTTSA RECALL # 17V226000, CAMPAIN 162, DUE TO DEFECTIVE ENGINES. HYUNDAI UKRAINE REJECTED MY REQUEST TO CONSIDER THE COMPLAINT ABOUT THE ENGINE STOP, AS THE ENGINE IS MADE IN THE USA, AND HYUNDAI UKRAINE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CARS PRODUCED AND SOLD OUTSIDE OF UKRAINE. HYUNDAI UKRAINE STATED THAT HYUNDAI DOES NOT COVER CARS WORLDWIDE WITH A GUARANTEE. SPEAKING OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE QUALITY OF THEIR PRODUCTS, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO JEEP, THEY HAVE A GUARANTEE ALL OVER THE WORLD. IF NECESSARY, CONTACT ME VIA MAIL, I WILL GIVE MY PHONE NUMBER. TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT, YOU NEEDED A PHONE FROM THE UNITED STATES. I WROTE THE NUMBER OF MY FRIENDS, THEY DO NOT KNOW ABOUT MY COMPLAINT. DON'T DISTURB THEM ABOUT IT

STEERING WHEEL MAKES CLICKING AND POPPING SOUND WHEN WHEEL IS TURNED LEFT AND RIGHT, THE VEHICLE IS ALSO PULLING VERY HARD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

EVERY TIME THAT I DRIVE MY VEHICLE MY CAR STALLS AND IT ALMOST CAUSE ME TO WRECK. I HAD FUEL PUMP PROBLEM IN WHICH I SPENT OVER $1,000 TO GET FIXED IS STILL HAVING ISSUES AND THE HYUNDAI WILL NOT REFUND ME MY MONEY KNOWING THAT THE FUEL PUMP HAS A RECALL. THEY HAVE CONSTANTLY BEEN GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND.

THE HYUNDAI SONATA HAS A KNOWN STEERING ISSUE. THERE IS A LOOSE CLICKING SOUND WHEN STEERING. IT APPARENTLY IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY RUBBER COUPLING IN THE POWER STEERING MECHANISM. (PART # 57315 2K000FFF 'FLEXIBLE COUPLING'). THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL TO REPLACE THIS PART WITH AN IMPROVED VERSION.

I HAVE A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. MY SONATA AFTER DRIVING ABOUT AN HOUR OR SO LOOSES ACCELERATION POWER. WHEN I COME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IT DOES NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE. SOMETIMES THE RPMS WILL PEAK OUT IF I DEPRESS THE ACCELERATION PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BUT THE VEHICLE WILL STILL ONLY CRAWL OR MOVE VERY SLOWLY 2-3MPH. IT IS SO BAD THAT SAY IF I'M ON AN INCLINE HEADED UPWARDS THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL BACKWARDS AS I'M TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND I HAVE TO ROLL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART AND TRY AGAIN UNTIL I CAN GET BACK TO THE HILL AND OVER IT AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO ALLOW THE CAR TO SIT A FEW HOURS AND COME BACK TO GET IT TO MAKE IT WORK. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT CAN AND WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH. ALSO AT A STOP LIGHT TO MAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN I NEVER KNOW IF IT WILL ACCELERATE AS IT SHOULD THEREFORE I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THERE IS NO TRAFFIC AT ALL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE MY TURN AND GET BACK INTO TRAFFIC. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE OR ANY WARNING LIGHTS OR SOUNDS WHEN THIS OCCURS. I HAVE CONSULTED WITH THE DEALER AND SEVERAL HYUNDAI SPECIALIST IN MY AREA AS WELL AS RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET WHICH I FOUND SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM BUT NO ONE HAS ANY ANSWERS AS THERE IS NO WAY TO SCAN THE VEHICLE WITHOUT A CHECK ENGINE OR WARNING LIGHT. THIS IS TERRIBLE AS MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 56275 MILES ON IT AND I CAN NOT GET IT TO WORK CORRECTLY OR EVEN IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. I AM UNWIL

URGENT. 1) DEFECTIVE ENGINE PER HYUNDAI'S ADMISSION. I WILL NOT ACCEPT A SOFTWARE 'BANDAID' APPROACH TO PATCH TO MY MAIN ECM TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I DID GO IN TO SHEPPARD MOTORS TO GET THIS BANDAID APPLIED TO MY CAR. THIS IS A BANDAID, AND SHAME ON HYUNDAI. MY ENGINE IS WARRANTIED THROUGH JULY 2023. I'VE BEEN AROUND. 2) MY CAR IS BRAND NEW, WITH ONLY 27,400 MILES ON HER 3) THE LATEST RECALL ON BOTH THE LOW AND HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE/ HOSES ETC. SHOULD I WAIT FOR A FIRE HERE? DEAR NHTSA: PLEASE LOOK UP ALL OF THE RECALLS AND EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON MY VEHICLE. UNACCEPTABLE TO ME. I BELIEVE THAT NO QUALITY CONTROL WHATSOEVER WAS PRACTICED AND APPLIED ON THE FACTORY PRODUCTION LINES. HYUNDAI FOCUS -- BIG MONEY. PRESSURING FACTORY WORKERS TO PUT IN ANY PART THEY CAN FIND. I HAVE SOME STORIES HERE ABOUT THE AUDIO SYSTEM ON MY CAR THAT WILL ABSOLUTELY BLOW YOUR COLLECTIVE MINDS. I'VE BEEN AROUND. 4) HYUNDAI LONG SINCE SENT ME EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON A) THE ENTIRE ENGINE B) BRAKE PEDAL STOPPER C) FRONT COIL SPRINGS D) SEAT BELT TENSIONERS (DRIVERS TENSIONER WAS ALREADY REPLACED, AND YET, IT STILL DOES NOT RETRACT COMPLETELY WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE PRAY TELL, WHAT GIVES HYUNDAI? NEW CAR HERE. MY GREATEST CONCERNS ABOUT THIS NEW CAR THAT I PAID FOR IN CASH -- AND WAS DEFRAUDED IN THAT PROCESS AS WELL -- I COULD HAVE BOUGHT A HONDA FOR MUCH LESS, AND NEVER HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. I AM RATHER FRUSTRATED HERE AND PRAY FOR GOVERNMENT ADVOCACY AND INTERVENTION. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. #1 I N

MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS OVER 150,000 MILES ON IT AND I KEPT UP MY MAINTENANCE. MY ENGINE HAS SEIZED MORE THAN ONCE. MY VEHICLE NEVER LET ME KNOW I WAS ON EMPTY, MY DASHBOARD SHOWED ME I HAD 3 LINES OF FUEL BUT IT WOULD NOT START UNTIL I PUT GAS. WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY ENGINE SEIZED, I CHECKED MY OIL AND I HAD ZERO FUEL, THIS WAS A MONTH AFTER MY OIL CHANGE. THE SECOND TIME MY ENGINE SEIZED I WAS TURNING ON A CITY STREET AND I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE MY ENGINE SEIZED AGAIN. FOR SOME REASON, MY FUEL JUST DISAPPEARS WITH NO VISIBLE LEAKS.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET CITY ABOUT 35MPH THE ENGINE DIED THEN A MINOR ELECTRICAL FIRE STARTED.

HYUNDAI CORPORATION KNEW THAT WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND IDENTICAL CARS STEERING WHEEL COUPLER AND THEREFORE INCREASED COVERAGE FOR REPAIR FROM 50000 MILES TO 100000 NAMING ' CONCERN' INSTEAD OF FAULTY- DEFECTIVE TO AVOID RECALL. THEY NEVER NOTIFIED COSTUMERS REGARDING THIS CONCERN! MOST INEXPERIENCED DRIVERS DON'T UNDERSTAND THE CLICK SOUND THAT LATER TURNS INTO CLANK WHEN PART IS TOTALLY DAMAGED AND THAT TIME THEIR CAR IS BEYOND 100000 MILES. HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS FAILED INTENTIONALLY TO NOTIFY CUSTOMERS SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN BENEFITING CHARGING $380 TO $480 TO REPLACE $2 PART. IF YOU REVIEW ONLINE COMPLAINTS YOU WILL SEE SIMILAR SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF STATEMENTS. FURTHER MORE HYUNDAI CORPORATION AND DEALERSHIPS COMPROMISED LIVES BECAUSE OF VIBRATION OF STEERING WHEEL CAN CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENTS YOU MAY OBTAIN COPIES OF REPAIR DOCUMENTS FROM HYUNDAI, DEALERS AND OWNERS REGARDING THIS ONGOING OUTRAGES ACT THAT TOOK PLACE INTENTIONALLY TO AVOID COST , LIABILITIES AND BENEFIT FROM REPAIRS WHILE DISADVANTAGING OWNERS, JEOPARDIZING LIVES AND GETTING PAID FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ' RECALLED ' . I CAN GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE THAT HYUNDAI ISSUED SAFETY RECALL FUEL PUMP THAT SMALL CRACK CAN LEAD TO MAJOR PROBLEM AND NO TIME OR MILLAGE LIMITS APPLIED. ON THE OTHER HAND STEERING WHEEL FLEX COUPLER CAN START AS SMALL CRACK AND CAN CAUSE MAJOR PROBLEMS YET THAT FAILED TO TREAT THIS DEFECT SAME WAY AND FAILED TO NOTIFY CUSTOMERS

I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE STEERING HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY LOOSE IN MARCH OF 2020. RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING OVER EVEN THE SMALLEST BUMPS IN THE ROAD THE STEERING WHEEL HAS STARTED TO RATTLE AND SHAKE AND FEELS LIKE IT MAY COME OFF. I WORK FROM HOME, SO THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN A LOT AND MOSTLY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 35 TO 55 MILES PER HOUR. I ASKED MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT WHILE I WAS THERE LAST WEEK (9/22/20) TO HAVE A RECALL FIXED AND I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $150 JUST TO LOOK AT THE STEERING WHEEL UNLESS THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR IT. AFTER SEEING THE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE, THIS SHOULD CERTAINLY BE FIXED BY HYUNDAI VIA A RECALL. I WAS CONSIDERING REPLACING MY VEHICLE WITH ANOTHER HYUNDAI NEXT YEAR, BUT DUE TO THIS ISSUE, PROBABLY NOT. IT IS DISCONCERTING TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS THAT IT MAY BREAK. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS WITH ANY CAR AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 40 YEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON INSPECTION OF HIS VEHICLE, HE BECAME AWARE THAT THE ENGINE OIL WAS BEING CONSUMED EXCESSIVELY, WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO EASTERN SHORE HYUNDAI (29736 FREDERICK BLVD, DAPHNE, AL 36526) FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND THE TEST DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THE DEALER INITIALLY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE BUT AFTER CONTACTING THE OFFICE OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS, THE DEALER OFFERED 75% OFF THE COST OF A NEW ENGINE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,274.

THIS CAR HAS SO MANY RECALLS ITS SCARY. I'VE HAD MY CAR CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR RECALLS FROM THE SEATBELT TO THE ENGINE BEARINGS. MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A FEW MONTHS AGO AND I'VE NOTICED THIS CAR DOESN'T HOLD OIL WELL AND I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CHECK IT. I WAS LEAVING A STORE ON A MAIN HIGHWAY AND MY CAR STATRED8TO JERK. A FEW MOMENTS LATER, THE WARNING LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD WERE ON. I PULLED OFF THE RIDE AND TRIED TO PARK AND THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP! I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO NOT KEEP ROLLING DOWN THE ROAD. THE CAR WILL RUN WHILE IN NEUTRAL BUT NOT WHILE IN DRIVE. THE SCARIEST THING WAS I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HIT A BUILDING NOT FAR FROM WHERE I PARKED. THANK GOD I THOUGHT QUICK. I'M DISAPPOINTED IN THE HYUNDAI BRAND. NEVER HAD I HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH A CAR. ALL THE REPAIRS ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE CUSTOMERS HAVE. I LIKE MY CAR BUT WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT RECALLS AND ISSUES EVERY 6-12 MONTHS SHOWS POOR QUALITY AND ITS UNSAFE TO OPERATE. I'M UNHAPPY I PURCHASED THIS CAR AND FOUND 4 OPEN RECALLS AFTER IT WAS OFF THE LOT.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE PUSHING OF THE ACCELERATOR THEREBY EITHER SLOWING DOWN OR HESITATING CREATING SCARY AND HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS ON THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGH SPEEDS OR ON THE CITY ROADS IN SLOW TRAFFIC. THE BEHAVIOR IS UNPREDICTABLE AND UNCONTROLLABLE. ALSO, THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT TOUCHED WHICH IS DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING. UPON RESEARCH ON LINE, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE BUT HAS HAPPENED TO A NUMBER OF HYUNDAI VEHICLES. IT SEEMS THIS HAS TO DO WITH EITHER THE RUBBER STOPPER OF THE BRAKE SWITCH OR THE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE SWITCH OR BOTH. I CALLED HYUNDAI AND WAS INFORMED THAT NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT THE WARRANTY ON THE STOPPER HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 15 YEARS AND UNLIMITED MILES. THEY SHOULD EXTEND THIS WARRANTY NOT JUST TO THE STOPPER BUT TO THE WHOLE SWITCH ASSEMBLY. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT HYUNDAI HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SWITCH ASSEMBLY BUT IS NOT INFORMING THE OWNERS OF THE POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF THIS ASSEMBLY. IN REALITY THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO REPLACE THIS ASSEMBLY.

MY STEERING WHEEL COUPLER IS BROKEN NO ONE IS ABLE TO DUE THE WORK ON IT MY WHEEL SHAKES BAD WHEN I GET ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN DRIVING STREET WAY ALSO ALSO THE BRAKES LIGHTS ARE KEEP GOING OUT I HAVE TO GET MY BRAKE LIGHTS CHANGED EVERY TWO WEEKS

TWO CRACKS (6 INCHES OR LONGER) HAVE APPEARED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD (AROUND THE "AIR BAG" INDICATION ON THE DASH). I AM VERY CONCERNED THIS WILL COMPROMISE THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG IF NECESSARY. A FORMAL COMPLAINT (CASE#17284937) WAS LOGGED IN BY HYUNDAI, BUT NO REMEDY WAS GIVEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V934000 (ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SPORT DURST HYUNDAI (4507 DURHAM-CHAPEL HILL BLVD, DURHAM, NC 27707) WHERE HE HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL. UPON RETURN OF THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE COULD HEAR AN ABNORMAL KNOCKING SOUND FROM ENGINE WITH THE LOW COOLANT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHITE SMOKE WOULD ALSO EMIT FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE KNOCKING WAS DUE TO THE WRONG TYPE OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO USE 89 OCTANE FUEL IN THE VEHICLE INSTEAD OF 87 OCTANE FUEL. THE CONTACT SWITCHED TO 89 OCTANE FUEL HOWEVER, THE KNOCKING WITH THE WHITE SMOKE BECAME MORE PRONOUNCED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 196,000.

PERIODICALLY LOSING BRAKE PRESSURE CAUSING THE BREAK PEDAL TO GO DOWN THE FLOOR WITH NO BREAKING ACTION. NEED TO PUMP THE BREAK IN ORDER TO STOP. PLENTY OF BRAKE FLUID.

THE STEERING HAS BEEN PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE OVER TIME. INITIALLY I STARTED WITH MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKING OCCASIONALLY. THEN STARTED SMALL CLICKING AND CLUNKING NOISES WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL OR GOING OVER BUMPS. NOW THE NOISE IS ALL LOT WORSE AND THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO COME OFF AT TIMES. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUES AND YET HYUNDAI HAS NOT ADMITTED THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE BEEN BASICALLY PLEASED WITH THIS VEHICLE UP UNTIL THIS ISSUE STARTED. A LOT OF COMPLAINTS I READ WAS THAT THIS STARTED AROUND THE 100,000 MILE POINT, WHICH WOULD BE CORRECT WITH ME AS WELL, IT STARTED JUST BEFORE I HIT 100,000 AND HAS CONTINUED AND PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE.

STEERING COUPLER IS BROKEN BUT I CAN'T GET IT FIXED BECAUSE THE EXTEND WARRANTY ONLY GOES TO 100,000 MILES! I'M OVER THAT MILEAGE! THE PART IS VERY CHEAP BUT THE LABOR TO GET IT REPLACED IS OVER $300. PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL FOR EVERYONE ASAP!!! IT IS NOT SAFE FOR US TO BE DRIVING WITH THIS BROKEN PART!!

DRIVING MY CAR 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA FROM NYC TO OHIO, CAR OVERHEATED AND SHUT DOWN ON INTERSTATE 80 WEST BOUND POLICE MANDATED A TOW TO NEARBY MECHANIC WHERE THEY SAID MY THERMOSTAT ALONG WITH THERMOSTAT HOUSING WAS FRIED UP. IT WAS REPLACED ONLY TO 3 MONTHS LATER CAR OVERHEATED AGAIN, ALONG WITH GAS SMELLS IN THE AIR VENTS, AND STALLING AS WELL AS TOTAL ENGINE POWER LOSS. HOWEVER, COUPLE MONTHS LATER, RECALL 189 WAS ISSUED BUT DIDN'T RESOLVE OVERHEATING ISSUE, IN FACT MADE THE CAR REACTED MORE NEGATIVELY. ONE MORE MONTH LATER I WAS NOTIFIED OF HYUNDAI THETA ENGINE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT SETTLEMENT AND PURSUED NEARBY DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THEY WOULD DIAGNOSE IT, WHICH SHOWED 7 CODERS SHOWING MISFIRE AND ONE FOR BATTERY FAULTY AND ONE FOR THE GAS RAIL AND PIPES. MY DEALERSHIP DIDN'T NOTIFY HYUNDAI THAT I MENTIONED MY CAR HAD BEEN STALLING, SHUTTING ITSELF DOWN A FEW TIMES AND HYUNDAI DENIED MY CLAIM FOR REPAIRS UNDER THIS SETTLEMENT WHICH IS A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE. THERE IS EXTREMELY SOMETHING FAULTY WITH THE GAS PIPING ON THIS ENGINE

REAR TAIL LIGHT BRAKE LIGHTS GETS TOO HOT AND MELTS INSIDE THE SOCKET. IT'S A BIG FIRE HAZARD. THE HEAT MELTED THE INNER PART WHICH MADE ME REPLACE THE WHOLE TAIL LIGHT. BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT.

WHEN DRIVING, MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES/RATTLES MAJOR ON HIGHWAY TO WEAR I HAVE TO HOLD THE STEERING TIGHTER TO TRY TO MAKE IT MORE SECURE. IT ALSO SHAKES/RATTLES JUST DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY AT LOWER SPEEDS. IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE, SECURE OR NORMAL FOR THIS TO BE OCCURRING. IT FEELS LIKE IT IS THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN THAT IS HAVING ISSUES AND JUST SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE OVER TIME.

SO MY STEERING WHEEL COUPLER HAS GONE BAD I KNEW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR; WHEN I WENT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP NOBODY WOULD FIX IT AND THEY TRIED TO CHARGE ME $600 TO FIX IT.

ALL TOGETHER I WASTED ALMOST $1100 TO FIND A WAY TO FIX MY ISSUES AND NOTHING WAS FIXED. THE SECOND ISSUE I WAS TOLD WAS HEAT BOX AND ACTUATOR BUT IT WASNT FIXED BECAUSE HYUNDAI TRIED TO CHARGE ME $3,041.84..... I KNOW ALOT OF.THINGS ARE APART OF THESE RECALLS THIS CAR HAVE BUT NO ONE EVEN HYUNDAI WAS WILLING TO FIX IT FREE OF CHARGE.
