Consumer Description

SINCE,I HAVE OWNED THE CAR I HAVE,NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL FEELING LOOSE. OVER,THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS I HAVE EXPERIENCED UNCONTROLLABLE RATTLING AND INCREASED SHAKING. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO BE LOOKED AT AND 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS TOLD ME MY STEERING RACK WAS ABOUT TO GO. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ON MY MAKE AND MODEL, IT IS DETERMINED THAT SOME 2011 SONATAS MADE BETWEEN CERTAIN DATES HAD FAULTY STEERING RACKS FROM THE START. THE CAR IS ALMOST UNDRIVEABLE AND HYUNDAI CONTINUES TO IGNORE THIS PROBLEM WHEN IT SHOULD GO INTO RECALL. THERE ARE OVER 1100 COMPLAINTS TO THE SAME ISSUE.
