My car made a loud thud while I was driving and then I heard my tire rubbing the wheel well. I had a very hard time steering and called my local garage. I looked on the internet and saw the specs on the recall and called my complaint into Hyundai. I then had my vehicle towed to the nearest dealer where it sits awaiting repair.
