Mills 70010 my car 2011 Sonata Hybrid steering column making a knocking noise. Dealer said this is a very common problem. This problem coverage werrenty any cost charge me ## VIN passed ## 2011 ##.

While driving on the highway I noticed a knocking sound radiating from my engine at speeds of 60 mph it the noise increased and then the engine appeared to be failing.

Steering column making a knocking noise. Internet research describes this as a very common problem. The steering coupling device is cheap rubber which wears easily & will eventually cause steering difficulties. This problem is always present when driving. The car only has 46,000 miles & I noticed it about a couple of months ago. Hyundai needs to issue a recall to fix this problem.

The steering wheel has some very noticeable play when turning the steering wheel to the left and right. The steering wheel makes a clicking clunking sound when turned both ways. Also whenever the car goes over any kind of pothole or any bumps in the road it makes a very loud rattling sound coming from the steering wheel column. The rattling has progressively gotten worse. Taking the car in today but I see that this is obviously a very common problem with this make and model. Love my sonata but disappointed I how a second owner is treated with issues that have nothing to do with being a second owner. If you believe your cars are built to last 100k miles stand by it and keep the mileage plan for everyone. Changing the miles and years just because someone new bought the car is unfair. I had to replace a hybrid battery cable for this car already, part cost $10 and the labor cost $300. Now from what I am reading the part for this fix is potentially $1 and I am going to pay 300%+ in labor.
