Consumer Description

I UNFORTUNATLEY HAVE THE SONORA WITH THE ENGINE RECALL WHICH TO ME IS ASKING WHY HYUNDAI JUST ISN'T REPLACING ENGINES REGARDLESS OF FAILURE? THERE IS NO RESALE IN A CAR WITH THIS OPEN RECALL .MY OTHER ISSUE I NEED TO HAVE ADDRESSED IS MY STEERING WAS UPGRADED AND APPROXIMATLEY A MONTH OR SO AFTER I HEARD A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL FROM SIDE TO SIDE, I CALLED MY DEALER ( HYUNDAI 112 IN MEDFORD ,N.Y ) AND IT WAS ALMOST SCRIPTED ,I WAS TOLD IT'S A BUSHING OR SOMETHING HE SAID AND IT'S NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. IF YOU CHECK ONLINE YOU WILL SEE IT'S A MAJOR FAILURE ,WHY IT WOULD BE SUCH A FLIMSY PLASTIC GEAR IN STEERING ? I HOPE YOU CAN REMEDY THIS AS A RECALL. MY CAR HAD NO NOISE UNTIL THE STEERING WAS QUOTE UPGRADED BY HYUNDAI , AGAIN PLASTIC PIECE IN A STEERING MOTOR?
