So my steering wheel coupler has gone bad I knew there was a recall on this when I first got the car; when I went to the hyundai dealership nobody would fix it and they tried to charge me $600 to fix it. And because of covid I couldnt get it fixed since I was furloughed. Then I was charged $500 to try to find what a ticking noise.was in my car and I was charged for.something that hyundai didnt fix and other dealers charged me and my issue still wasnt fixed. All together I wasted almost $1100 to find a way to fix my issues and nothing was fixed. The second issue I was told was heat box and actuator but it wasnt fixed because hyundai tried to charge me $3,041.84..... I know alot of.things are apart of these recalls this car have but no one even hyundai was willing to fix it free of charge.
