Consumer Description

DRIVING ALONG AT ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR WHEN VEHICLE ENGINE DIED. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. I WAS NEAR HOME SO I WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME WHERE IT STAYED UNTIL I COULD GET IT TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACED POWER STEERING PUMP, THE POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION, GEAR AND LINKAGE ASSEMBLY AND PERFORMED A 4-WHEEL ALIGNMENT. I WAS EXTREMELY BLESSED THAT I WAS NOT ON THE LOCAL INTERSTATE GOING AT THE MAXIMUM SPEED ALLOWED. I NOTE THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE STEERING ON THE 2010 HYUNDAI SONATA AND OTHER EARLIER AND LATER YEAR SONATAS. IT SEEMS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *TR
