WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE STEERING COLUMN CLICKS WHEN TURNED BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT. THE CAR RATTLES LOUDLY WHEN YOU DRIVE OVER COVERED MAN HOLE COVERS, BUMPS, OR ANYTHING THAT'S NOT LEVEL PAVEMENT. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE WHEEL BEARING BUT MY MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE CAR YESTERDAY AND ADVISED IT IS THE STEERING COLUMN.

IN THE TWO YEARS IVE HAD THIS CAR THERE HAVE BEEN 3 RECALLS THAT I HAVE GOTTEN TAKEN CARE OF AT SOUTH CHARLOTTE HYUNDAI HERE IN CHARLOTTE, NC. THE DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT I CHANGED THE BULBS 4 TIMES IN 6 MONTHS BECAUSE THE TAIL LIGHT WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. I HAVE HAD AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE 3 DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CAR IN JUNE OF 2016 WHERE MY RADIO FREEZES AND I CANT USE ANY OF THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL OR DASHBOARD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES THEY DONT KNOW THE PROBLEM SO NOW IVE BEEN JUS UNPLUGGING THE FUSE FOR THE RADIO FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS THEN PLUG IT BACK IN AND IT WORKS I GO THROUGH THIS ONCE EVERY OTHER MONTH. THEN MY LEFT HEAD LIGHT HAS GONE OUT, MY LEFT FOG LIGHT WENT OUT, AND NOW MY RIGHT FOG LIGHT HAS WENT OUT. I CHECKED THE BULBS ALL BULBS ARE STILL GOOD THEY JUST DONT WANT TO LIGHT UP. ALSO WHEN I CLOSE MY DOORS MY INTERIOR LIGHTS BLINK LIKE A STROBE LIGHT SO I HAVE TO LEAVE THE SWITCH IN OFF SO THEY DONT COME ON AT ALL. AS I RIDE AROUND THEY CITY EVERY SONATA I SEE HAS A HEAD LIGHT(S) OUT AND TAIL OR BRAKE LIGHTS OUT. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO GET ON THIS ASAP
