Car went off the road in the snow and was totalled. Brakes did not lock or vibrate to alert that the car was starting to slide

- Wells , ME, USA

It started around a month ago it's a thumping clicking sound in my steering wheel it's getting worse everyday when driving on the road and I hit a bump in the road it wants to jerk out of my hands it's very hard to drive and keep from swerving around it sometimes feels like it's trying to stick or lock up I fear for my life and others life as well. I do know if it locks up it will cause me to lose control and wreck my car possibly ending in death for myself or others out on the highway. My horn doesn't work and I don't know if steering is the cause of that. I don't have any warning light that come on to check anything except the tire pressure light stays on and they are new tires. I keep a check on my car to keep it serviced and everything my tires aren't low at all I checked my oil on a daily basis and it read no oil on the stick so 2 quarts were added then I keep checking to see if I have an oil leak and there isn't one. I have spoken with multiple mechanics and have been told that unless they get into tearing it down and looking at it they couldn't give me an exact solution, but sounds like either an Intermediate steering shaft or a steering coupler bushing (MDPS) I have spoken with a dealership that stated there is no recalls but calling the recall number I have multiple ones. But haven't seen any on the steering. I have no documentation on manufacturer dealings or anything else.

The rubber coupler in the steering column has failed and is causing play in the steering wheel. This was diagnosed by a third-party service center, not a Hyundai dealer. When this was reported to the dealer's service center, they said that Hyundai would only replace this component under warranty for vehicles with a milage under 100,000.

Steering wheel clunks side to side, then at 40 mph it vibrates bad. This is a major driving hazard. from what I have read the manufacture is aware and is not recalling the motor driven power steering.

The issue is a thump in the steering column as you turn the steering wheel slightly from left to right and vice versa. Appears to be the steering column coupling. I have seen several videos on the issue and recalls for similar Hyundai vehicles. Unsure if this is a safety risk. The issue has not been confirmed by a dealer. There are no warning lights associated with this issue. The has not been inspected by anyone. Thank You.

When driving/start my car, the steering making sound and loosen as if the steering wheel is not stable. I took the car to a mechanic shop, I was told that they have had lots of complain about the same issue, that I need to take it to Hyundai dealer, they are the only one that can fix the problem.

- Pasadena, CA, USA

Bought vehicle in 2020 and Power steering failure occurred in May 2021. Mechanic confirmed the problem and said it would be $1100 to repair. The EBS light is always on and it was not on prior to the power steering being lost. Having no power steering is putting everyone at risk. This vehicle is the only one we have for our family and commute to work takes a little over an hour.

Steering in this car intermittently goes in and out making it impossible to steer the car

- Birmingham, AL, USA

I live in Missouri where they still have vehicle inspections to renew tags for legally driving. Got in the vehicle and started it I then try to use the steering wheel controls to change radio station would not work then tried the other side of the steering wheel to make a phone call and it wouldn't work then I tried the horn and it would not work. I looked up the problem and what I found is that it's whats called the airbag clockspring so there for the airbag in the steering wheel will not deploy in the case of an accident I have researched that my vehicle is not the only one and with this issue it is very unsafe and will not pass inspection in my state

This vehicle has the same power steering defect as other Hyundai vehicles covered under Hyundai recalls. The steering wheel decouples with the power steering due to a disintegrating rubber component. Loss of vehicle control and death of the occupants is possible. Problem manifests as a 'clicking' or 'clinking' in the steering wheel when turned, with worsening loss of control of the vehicle.

- New Port Richey, FL, USA

One day I noticed that my steering wheel was loose and it was making a clicking noise. One another occasion, while I was driving, my vehicle I noticed that all of a sudden the airbag light came on. I thought that it was a minor electrical malfunction (because my flat tire light has been on for years and I never know when I really have a flat), so I ignored it until I went to use my horn to alert an approaching vehicle of my presence, and it didn't work. It hasn't worked properly since. If I use my keys to lock the door it will beep, but if I attempt to use the horn itself I get nothing.

- Lumberton, NC, USA

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that the steering column was clicking while driving. The failure caused the steering to veer from center whenever the vehicle went over bumps in the roadway. The contact stated that the vehicle would veer off into the other lane. The contact called tameron Honda (1675 montgomery hwy, birmingham, al 35216, (205) 236-5414) and was informed that the warranty had expired and that the vehicle was not under recall. The manufacturer had not been contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 126,000.

When coming to a stop a pulsating motion, similar to a warped brake rotor, was felt. The steering flex coupler partially disintegrated causing approx. 1/4 turn slack in steering wheel. Coupler was replaced on 8/5/2020. I did not suffer any damage, but I absolutely believe that this design is far more dangerous than the Toyota air bag design.

- Pleasant Grove, AL, USA

Since the day I purchased this car with zero miles it would randomly cut off and it would do that even when in drive like it wasnt getting gas. It would not turn over then after 20-30 min it would start right back up and this started right away and has done that ever since. I also had the O2 censor replaced as well. The tires are awful the suspension is even worse then my air bag light cut on out of nowhere and now my steering column is totally messed up. Directly behind the airbag. It clacks back N forth as you move the steering wheel even ever so slightly. If I hit my brakes the wheel shakes and the column rattles and clacks, if I go over bumps in the road or rr tracks same thing, the entire steering wheel shakes violently and rattles and clanks. I have been told by three different shops that this is a common issue with this car and design. The steering column was poorly designed and is going to break if I dont have it replaced. The cost to have this done is almost $1000 and it shouldnt be an issue I have to pay for bc of the poor design. There has been nothing done to the car on my end to cause this and I need help asap bc its my only car and I do not have $1000 to pay to fix a bad steering column that shouldnt be breaking to begin with!
