Steering Is Loose Problems of Hyundai Elantra

My steering is loose and the wheel clunks and rattles. Sometimes it feels like the steering wheel will come right off. I can hit the slightest bump and it will rattle and shake like I ran over a huge pot hole. Also, when I'm driving the car will suddenly slow down and whine like I hit the brakes even when I didn't. I was almost rear-ended when I hit the gas but the car decided it wanted to suddenly slow down a few seconds later. There is something terribly wrong here. The engine is also making a ticking/knocking noise when warming up. This happens daily.

Steering is loose - hard to handle.

I have a 2011 Hyundai sonata, the problem I am referring to is related to the steering column and power steering coupling. I am aware that there have been a couple recalls on this particular problem for other 2011 sonatas but mine does not fall into this small number of recalled vehicles. I am however having the same problem. The steering feels loose and makes a clicking noise when you move the wheel back and forth, this happens both when not moving an when traveling at any speed. Tends to be worse at lower speed. I have brought this up to a service manager at a Hyundai dealership already and he said there wasn't anything I could do but pay out of pocket to get it fixed. I feel this is not right because of the sheer number of these vehicles that are having this problem. They are fully aware that this is a major issue with these vehicles but refuse to do anything about it.

When driving the car and using the steering, the steering wheel clicks when you turn it any which way. Also the steering feels loose & sloppy. It happens every time you drive it.
