NHTSA Complaint #11047843 — 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA

ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH STEERING COLUMN DEVELOPS A SHUDDER WHICH BUILDS AND WANES - STEERING BECOMES MORE CHALLENGING AS A RESULT. THE GREATER THE SPEED, THE MORE PRONOUNCED IS THIS CONDITION. THIS IS A SUBOPTIMAL CONDITION THAT IS NOT TYPICAL FOR A FUNCTIONAL VEHICLE, AND IS UNRELATED TO WHEEL QUALITY, ROTATION OR BALANCE. IT IS A TEMBLOR-LIKE SHUDDER WHICH CLEARLY WILL INTERFERE WITH SAFETY IF IT CONTINUES OR PROGRESSES. PERHAPS THIS IS RELATED TO NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10110926, BUT THIS VEHICLE IS NOW AT 108K MILES, SO THAT DOESN'T COVER IT, DOES IT. FURTHER, I HAVE NO RECORD OF NOTIFICATION OF RECEIVING MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION NUMBER: 5NP-F8M5G-03. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP CONTENDING INADEQUATE NOTICE, AND NEEDING THIS TO BE REPAIRED TO ASSURE SAFETY.
