 The steering column on my 2011 Sonata started making terrible noises due to a known manufacturing defect with the steering shaft. Even though there is a formal NHTSA investigation (NHTSA Action Number: PE10035) and recall (NHTSA Recall No. 10V-426), the dealer told me that I have to pay over $400 dollars to fix the $2 part that is causing this hazardous issue. I include a link to an article that describes the hazards created by this issue: https://www.aboutlawsuits.com/hyundai-sonata-recall-steering-problems-13090/ .  How can Hyundai sell such defective cars and then expect consumers to pay for the work to repair parts affected by recalls?   Hyundai is very much aware that it sold cars with manufacturing defects in the steering shaft. According to reprots, the manufacturing defects mean that the driver could suddenly lose the ability to steer the vehicle, possibly resulting in an accident with a potential for property damage, injury and death. Given the grave risks associated with this manufacturing defect, I had no choice but to pay the inflated costs ($400 for replacing a $2 part) charged by the Hyundai dealer.                                                                                                                           http://www.wdrb.com/story/13219837/steering-column-forces-hyundai-to-issue-recallhttps://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2010/09/recall-2011-hyundai-sonata-steering-column-problem/index.htm . http://money.cnn.com/2015/03/01/autos/hyundai-recall/index.html
