I have been back and fourth with Hyundai about the steering. They have claimed to fix the recall but my car is not safe to drive. The steering wheel clicks as I try to drive and I was told in June of 2019 during my state inspection it was taken care off.I recently got my brakes changed and the people serviced my car agreed it had not been fixed and in fact is dangerous.

Fall 2018 - loud brushing noise when I turn the steering wheel right or left. Mechanic told me to take it to Hyundai to fix the clock spring. Did but the sound returned within 3 weeks. Lived with it because it wasn't as loud as before. Almost two months ago the loud sound returned. Took it back to Hyundai who said that the entire steering column needs to be replaced. Did not trust Hyundai. Took it to my mechanic who says that there is a damaged bearing in the column. Because I do not want to take a chance on guessing if the correct bearing has been found and the steering wheel motor may or may not also be compromised, I am allowing my mechanic to replace the steering column. The estimated cost is $1600. Fyi the sound is loudest when I am backing out of a parking space and turning the steering column. Also when I am turning in to a parking space. It can also be heard when the car is making turns when on the road. There is a slight give to the steering wheel when driving but it is manageable. The steering wheel also will not lock.

Was informed that there is a known steering coupler issue that is covered under an extended warranty up to 100,000 miles. Unfortunately my vehicle exceeds that range and will have to pay out of pocket for said repairs. My concern is the safety aspect of this affecting my model in general, not just the mileage.

- Columbia, MD, USA

When I drove (in motion) my car over potholes or road edges, my car is drifting by side to side. I had this issue from the last 6 months. I showed my car to a different Hyundai dealership, but they could not find the exact reason and I spent around $2000 to replace all the parts as per Hyundai's dealership suggestion. After spending this much of money I still have a drifting issue in potholes. Recently, I contacted other Hyundai dealership.and they suggested me to replace steering column and universal shaft. I am very frustrated now and requesting Hyundai America to take care of this issue by their side because it is really a safety concern.

A few weeks ago I noticed a popping noise coming from my steering area when I made turns. I took my car to my mechanic and he could find the actual part but knew it was coming from the power steering assist. After some research he found that a few people were having issues with the coupler inside the steering column. I have attached pictures of the the part looked like when he removed it. This is very concerning since I use this vehicle daily and Transport my 2 kids to daycare. I put less than 10,000 miles on it each year since driving from home to my kids daycare and work put less than 10 miles on it a day.

To whom it may concern: It grieves me to escalate this concern to the national highway safety administration. I have attempted to seek resolution with Hyundai, but the corporate office is unresponsive and ignorant to the safety concern. The problem lies in the defect of the power steering coupler on Hyundai Elantra models that affects tires, steering, balancing, alignment. The manufacturer is aware of the defect and has either repaired or reimbursed owners of Hyundai Elantra for the defect up to 100,000 miles or 120,000 miles with extended warranty. I purchased the Elantra at 89,000 miles and inquired about a noise in the car. The dealer ignored it, and the carfax did not have any mention of the defect. After two sets of tires, 3 alignments, and additional repair, I began to wonder after, several tires blew during my drive after loading on the groceries! how can the tires with 50% life left--all of them--blow on the road" there is nothing mentioned in the manual" sadly, during my several visits to Hyundai dealerships (both in tampa and orlando), nobody at the dealer mentioned once about this issue"! finally, the local mechanic where I replaced the tires indicated about the coupler issue. I reached out to Hyundai's corporate office and was informed to repair and will be reimbursed. Well, I repaired the issue upon discovery at 122,800 miles, but Hyundai is refusing to reimburse for the defect of their issue. I wrestle to understand how this is not a safety issue when the tires blow up on the road, several sets of tires must be replaced with alignment and additional repair? I wrestle to grasp that Hyundai does not inform buyers in any way of the issue, and the dealers are silent on the issue. How is it possible" after hours of spending time on this issue, all that I would like is the reimbursement of $340 I paid to fix the defect of the car.this is not my fault!

While driving the car one or more of the brakes get active without using the brakes. ABS start kicking and the car loose power. If I hate the brake the brake parks get really sensitive and the car start shaking. Happened too many times and I took the car to the dealer for diagnostic and they said they couldn't fined any problems. From my experience this is a use sensor problem and I spoke with Honda of America and they said my car and my VIN # has no recall.

Clicking noise when moving steering wheel in either direction. Both stopped and while driving. Napleton dealer says I need to have it fixed for safety reasons. They want 325 to fix. Says it's not on recall list. I feel because of hundreds of complaints and dealers acknowlegement of safety issue they should cover the cost.
