Vibrating and clicking within steering wheel.
- Durham, NC, USA
My 2013 90K mile Hyundai Sonata's steering has been making a cluncking/clicking noise when turned/moved from right to left. The steering wheel has noticeable play when parked and when driving at freeway speeds seems to not maintain a straight line pulls right to left. I have an appointment at the Hyundai dealer on Thursday to have it checked to see what the issue is. I will update when I hear what the problem is/remedy. It looks like from what I am ready there are many complaints on this issue.

- El Paso, TX, USA
While driving the car will drift to the left or right. When correcting the steering, a jerk is felt in the wheel. Recently, my passenger commented on feeling it jerking. You feel a constant pull while driving due to the car going off to the side. I have purchased new tires, had the car aligned and completely inspected for bearings, tie rod and suspension issues. Nothing was found. At times, it becomes hard to control. It has been going on a while and is becoming increasingly worse.
- Williamsport, OH, USA
The flexible coupling in the steering column that connects the steering input to the servo motor is disintegrating, causing driver input to feel "sticky". the vehicle is unresponsive to small steering corrections. The vehicle is difficult to control, especially on the freeway, possibly resulting in unintentional lane departure and collision. This same issue was recalled on elantra models.
