The steering coupler for the MDPS (Motor Driven Power Steering) was disentegrated mostly. There are 8 cutouts on the coupler. 4 catch the motor and 4 catch the steering box. Its original and made of soft rubber. The steering always seemed vague for a sports car. The new coupler Dorman 926-990 looks like a urethane, some type of firmer material. The car steers perfectly now. The danger is from the chance that the coupler wouldn't catch when turning the steering wheel which supplies input to the MPDS and the steering wheel would turn and the front wheels wouldn't or maybe only sort of follow the intended direction.

When I took my car to the Hyundai dealer for recalls in April 2023 after they completed the service my steering coupler broke and I was told it would cost me $292 to repair. I went this morning to get tires at flynn's and they gave me a technical service bulletin 14-st-002-1 re: the steering coupler and told me to call Hyundai because it should be replaced for free. I phoned Hyundai dealer and they stated this does not apply to my particular vin #. It is definitely broken and should be applied to this vehicle.

Steering wheel is clicking with the slightest movement. After diagnostic at Hyundai they stated its a known issue, yet no recall for this model has been put out yet. Only on other Hyundai's. The diagnostic result given was the coupling was going bad. If this effects your ability to steer your vehicle I feel like this should be a safety recall. I have located several complaints about this same issue. On the veloster forum there are multiple people experiencing this same issue.

Steering coupler went out at 23,000 miles. Not covered under warranty according to Hyundai leading to repairs in excess of $500. Many Hyundai-??s have this problem and if it goes out completely the vehicle no longer has electric steering assist, the steering wheel makes a clunking sound, and the car drifts all over the road.

A few months ago, my ABS and Traction Control lights began to come on and off randomly. Then, new lights would pop up, such as Check Engine and the Brake light. These lights would come on, and then go off very sporadically. In the last week, it had gotten much worse. My tire pressure light and EPS light had came on as well, totaling about 6 or 7 lights that are on and won't go off. Then, my steering wheel became increasingly hard to turn, I' m guessing because the EPS was off. Then, my speedometer completely stopped working, and my gas gauge was jumping up and down after I had filled it to a full tank. I pulled the code, and got code for a wheel speed sensor. I replaced the wheel speed sensor, and no lights went off. I then inspected the fuses, noticed that the ABS fuse was blown, and decided to replace it. I replaced it, and the ABS module (or pump) started to smoke badly. The car had a heavy electrical smoke smell and I didn't think it was safe to drive for a while. Hyundais have had recalls for ABS modules smoking before, but never for a 2013 Hyundai Veloster, and I believe that is something that should be investigated because I believe I could have been injured.

Steering wheel clunks while turning. Most likely the rubber steering wheel coupler. Found a bunch of other complaints for the same thing with this make and model.

- Lamoine, ME, USA

My 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo steering recently developed a loose range with clunking at either end of the range. Appx mileage is 70K. Research indicates it could be caused by a rubber coupler in the steering column. Other Veloster owners stated online that this seems to be a common problem and should be investigated by NHTSA for a possible recall.

-Steering motor coupler -Interrupted my turning at highway speeds, posed danger against myself and every other driver on the road. -It has been confirmed as the problem, and is a well known problem in the Veloster community. A recall is needed to prevent car accidents. Please help us. -No, it was not inspected outside of repair. -No warning lights at all are triggered by this problem. Symptoms are steering wheel clunking, sticking, vibrating. As it gets worse, steering wheel can become stuck in place, making it very difficult to turn the wheel. https://youtu.be/-2ximJ3KM3Q Here is a link to someone opening up the motor to see the coupler torn to ribbons. It is the same piece as I replaced. The veloster forum has hundreds if not thousands of reports of this problem.

The MDPS Flexible Coupler failed and causes loose steering and clicking noise coming from the steering column.

- Sarasota, FL, USA

I was experiencing loss of power steering/loose steering wheel in my Hyundai Veloster, which compromised my ability to control my car's steering direction and so could have resulted in an accident. There were no warning lights. I had my car inspected and the serviceman identified a worn steering coupler. I am aware that the Elantra and Sonata of like years have been issued a recall on the same part due to the poor material quality, but found my model did not yet have this same part recalled.

- San Diego, CA, USA

Steering column clicking because of worn steering wheel coupler. This could cause steering wheel to lock. Hyundai had agreed to cover the Elantra and sonata for up to 10 years but not other models. This is same problem for other models. They should fix as steering column could be harmed and accidents could occur.

Forward collision warning don't work at all, and clicking sound come from the front when press the gas pedal when I press the brake, when I turn left or right, that's sound is constantly all time, I see a lot of post and same car with this problem and Hyundai don't do nothing about this, I send the car to replace the cv axles and same problem sound.

The steering wheel is lose with loud clicking sound when the wheel is turned. The cruise control when turn on will not turn off. The clicking lose steering happens when stationary or driving. Cruise control stocks when driving. This started 3 years ago. Stopped using cruise control. Took car to Hyundai for both. Clicking/loose steering is a faulty part that is know by Hyundai and has been recalled on sevetal other Hyundai. But no recall has been done for the Veloster

- Apex, NC, USA

Motor driven power streering coupling replacement at 50 thousand miles, known problem with Hyundai and Veloster is not covered. Clunking sound in the wheel and loose.

- Honolulu, HI, USA

The mdps (motor driven power steering) assembly contains a flexible rubber coupling which may wear over time resulting in a slight 'clicking' or 'thud' type noise when turning the steering wheel. This together with the huge amount of dead play makes the vehicle unsafe. There's a recall/extended warranty from Hyundai usa for this same exact issue for other models with the exact same issue, but not for this one.

- Irving, TX, USA

Steering wheel vibrate in motion and clicking when is stationary when you try to turn the wheel

- Kissimmee, FL, USA

The rubber steering coupler that connects the electric steering motor to the steering column has failed. When turning the steering wheel the front tires do not initially start to turn until you hear a metallic cluck and then the tires start to turn. This occurs whether the car is stopped or moving. Also, bumpy roads causes erratic shaking of the steering wheel. That did not start to occur until the rubber steering coupler failed. This part failed when the car had only 55,000 miles on it. The cost to repair it was around $250.
