Consumer Description

I HAVE NOTICED A KNOCK IN MY STEERING WHEEL. THE NOISE IS GETTING WORSE AND THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES WHEN MY TIRES GO OVER A BUMP. I WILL BE BRINGING IT INTO THE SHOP IN A FEW DAYS TO GET REPAIRED. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM THAT COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS ITEM, AS IT IS UNSAFE TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IF THIS DOESN'T WARRANT A RECALL OR CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT, I'M NOT SURE WHAT DOES. MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY WHEN THIS ISSUE BEGAN, BUT HAS GOT EXCESSIVELY WORSE. I JUST RAN OUT ON MY 1000,000 MILE WARRANTY, BY ABOUT 250 MILES.
