When I turn my steering wheel either left or right there is a knocking/clunking in the steering column. This happens whether the vehicle is in motion or stationary. Also, while the vehicle is in motion and I drive over a rough spot or dip in the road or cross a rr track, the steering wheel shakes and rattles. I understand this is a worn rubber cushion in the steering column and costs upwards of $300 to repair. The issue/item was a recall on 2011-2013 Sonata's, but not on the 2014. This appears to be an ongoing issue with the Sonata. Why haven't the newer models been recalled as well?

My 2014 Hyundai Sonata gls whines when accelerating, and my steering wheel clicks when turning right and left. The clicking has been going on for months; I noticed the whining on 01/10/2020. The whining only occurs when in motion on city streets and freeway/highway; not when braking or when starting up or turning off.

When turning the steering wheel it makes a clicking or knocking noise. Maybe the rubber coupler is worn out.

I purchased a car from Toyota of hollywood in March of 2019. At the time of purchase the dealer kept vehicle for 1 day to make service repairs to the brakes. I brang vehicle back to the dealership in April of 2019 because of noises being heard from car ( brake noises, rocky noises, water rushing forward) but was told by service manager that noises were normal. I brang vehicle back to dealership in August of 2019 at 8am because of additional noises being heard from car (explained to employee) but was told to make an appointment. I called and made an appointment for the same morning at 9am. Car was diagnosed with multiple issues ( brakes, rotors, axle). Management (ray and michael ) made the decision to hold my car without consent due to safety issues. It has been held without my consent since Friday, August 30th 2019. Bid patrol was called by managers because they did not want to speak with me or release my vehicle and asked the patrol that I leave premises without my car. I have made multiple attempts to contact the dealership by phone, email and an in person visit( with police escort) but have been unsuccessful in obtaining my vehicle. Visited dealership on Monday, September 2nd with a police escort and was not allowed on premises. Manager would not speak to me, would not release vehicle and requested I contact service manager michael. The service manager did not respond to any of my calls, voicemails or emails throughout the week. On Friday, September 6th 2019 I made another in person visit( with police escort because managers did not want me on premises) and managers did not want to speak with me. An employee was sent in place of manager to speak with me and I was able to obtain my vehicle but none of the safety issues were fixed( brakes, rotors, axle). I was given documents I did not want to sign but signed only to get my vehicle released to me.

The issue started to occurred recently when the vehicle reached 98,000miles on the odometer. I did a little troubleshooting myself and realize where the noise (clunk) was coming from. I came to a conclusion the steering column coupler, a rubber material that sit before the steering shaft was going bad. We never received by mail that Hyundai motor America was conducting such recall and that it was imminent to get it check out. But they added that my vehicle was expired from such recall. I believe this is a safety hazard and should be taken care of by the dealership.

I have recently noticed while trying to turn my wheel out of a parked position, that it is extremely difficult to move. I place my key in the ignition and try to turn it on it does not want to turn until I get the steering wheel turned. When it finally does and it releases the key to turn, I began to notice that when I am turning the steering wheel left or right it makes a "clunking sound". I am also beginning to notice a light clunking while driving at a lower seed when I am turning either left or right. It makes me nervous that the steering might go out while I am driving and I won't have control of the car. The car is 5 years old and just under 100K. I have gone online to a few Hyundai forums and I am seeing many, many others witht hte same complaint yet I'm not seeing a recall on this. My fear is that someone may get terribly injured before something is done.

The car was token the dealer, where it was bought, since they had told us they had some repairing to do but the car stayed the same. The engine makes a very unpleasant noise, every time. With the steering wheel, while turning left, it semi gets stuck. In order for that to not happen, you basically have turn it right away. It is at very high risk due to the fact that if it would manage to get stuck, it may cause an unnecessary accident. When it comes to the wheels, every time it turns left or right it makes a very rocky noise. We have called time and time for a reparation or to at least have something done. No one has seemed to really care nor catch their attention.

Since I bought this car in Oct 2014 I've had problems with the lights. I can be driving and they cut off. I can turn on my turn signal and the lights go out. Or I'll be driving and the inside lights come on by themselves. When I drive my steering wheel shakes.

Vehicle wanders at highway speeds. This is a very dangerous situation and needs fixed. The dealer tells me the alignment is within specs. The problem occurs using all three steering modes. The steering has been like this from the beginning - not a new thing.

- Grove City, OH, USA

Vehicle extremely unstable on the highway, and characteristics proportionally get worse with speed. Car will pull to the left and right needing immediate input and correction from the driver. The car feels as it is being blown by gusty winds, even though no wind is present. Long distances are extremely fatiguing. The dealership cannot duplicate and explains that it could be the electric steering. This is a dangerous issue and needs to be investigated before it causes an accident or loss of life.
