The steering column makes a very loud clunking noise whenever you go over a bump in the road. Must of the time it happens at low speeds. It feels and sounds like something is loose or will come loose. This can cause serious injury or death.

When turning the steering wheel I hear a clicking noise like something is loose or broken. There regularly is a burning smell like hot plastic is melting and the brake light constantly burns out. When changing the bulb I noticed the casing appears burned and it is difficult to remove the bulb for replacement. I smell the burning scent when I stop and exit the vehicle. The clicking noice is whenever I turn the steering wheel.

The Hyundai Sonata has a known steering issue. There is a loose clicking sound when steering. It apparently is caused by a faulty rubber coupling in the power steering mechanism. (part # 57315 2K000fff 'flexible coupling'). there are many complaints online about this issue. It should be a recall to replace this part with an improved version.

Hyundai corporation knew that was a problem with my car and identical cars steering wheel coupler and therefore increased coverage for repair from 50000 miles to 100000 naming ' concern' instead of faulty- defective to avoid recall. They never notified costumers regarding this concern! most inexperienced drivers don't understand the click sound that later turns into clank when part is totally damaged and that time their car is beyond 100000 miles. Hyundai dealerships failed intentionally to notify customers since they have been benefiting charging $380 to $480 to replace $2 part. If you review online complaints you will see similar significant amount of statements. Further more Hyundai corporation and dealerships compromised lives because of vibration of steering wheel can cause major accidents you may obtain copies of repair documents from Hyundai, dealers and owners regarding this ongoing outrages act that took place intentionally to avoid cost, liabilities and benefit from repairs while disadvantaging owners, jeopardizing lives and getting paid for something that should have been ' recalled '. I can give you an example that Hyundai issued safety recall fuel pump that small crack can lead to major problem and no time or millage limits applied. On the other hand steering wheel flex coupler can start as small crack and can cause major problems yet that failed to treat this defect same way and failed to notify customers

I started to notice that the steering has become increasingly loose in March of 2020. Recently while driving over even the smallest bumps in the road the steering wheel has started to rattle and shake and feels like it may come off. I work from home, so the car has not been driven a lot and mostly in the neighborhood where the speed limit is 35 to 55 miles per hour. I asked my local Hyundai dealer to take a look at it while I was there last week (9/22/20) to have a recall fixed and I was told it would be $150 just to look at the steering wheel unless there has been a recall for it. After seeing the many complaints regarding this same issue, this should certainly be fixed by Hyundai via a recall. I was considering replacing my vehicle with another Hyundai next year, but due to this issue, probably not. It is disconcerting to drive a vehicle that the steering wheel feels that it may break. I have never experienced this with any car and I have been driving for 40 years.

Steering coupler is broken but I can't get it fixed because the extend warranty only goes to 100,000 miles! I'm over that mileage! the part is very cheap but the labor to get it replaced is over $300. Please make this a recall for everyone asap!!! it is not safe for us to be driving with this broken part!!

The steering has been progressively getting worse over time. Initially I started with my steering wheel locking occasionally. Then started small clicking and clunking noises when turning steering wheel or going over bumps. Now the noise is all lot worse and the steering wheel feels like it wants to come off at times. I have read several complaints with the same issues and yet Hyundai has not admitted this is an issue with these vehicles. I have been basically pleased with this vehicle up until this issue started. A lot of complaints I read was that this started around the 100,000 mile point, which would be correct with me as well, it started just before I hit 100,000 and has continued and progressively gotten worse.

- Havelock, NC, USA

When driving, my steering wheel shakes/rattles major on highway to wear I have to hold the steering tighter to try to make it more secure. It also shakes/rattles just driving through the city at lower speeds. It does not feel safe, secure or normal for this to be occurring. It feels like it is the entire steering column that is having issues and just seems to be getting worse over time.

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.

My steering wheel clicks and always feels as if I'm swerving. Now on the highway, starts shaking once to 70 miles an hour. This has happened 3 times within 2 weeks. Rattled or shakes real bad going over railroad tracks or hitting a small whole. This is a very serious and dangerous issue that is eventually gonna cause accidents if not fixed. I asked the dealer ship if there had been a recall for this and the response was no and the cost would be $250 to repair.
