2012 HYUNDAI SONATA Steering Problems

THERE IS A RECALL ON MY CAR RECALLS ARE #174 AND 160 AND I AM DEALING WITH THESE ISSUES UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS CAN'T BE FIXED BECAUSE THERE HASN'T BEEN A WAY TO FIX THEM. BUT I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS A REAL HARD SHAKING IN AND LOUD AND AGGRESSIVE TAPPING IN THE WHEEL COLUMN MAKES THIS SOUND WHEN U GO TO A CERTAIN SPEED.FOR OVER 60 MPH. THE KNOCKING GOES FAST AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STEER THE WHEEL ESPECIALLY, ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT ALL OF THESE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. GOING TO MEET WITH THE DEALER IN TOMORROW TO SEE HOW I CAN BE ASSISTED WITH THIS ISSUE.

THE STEERING WHEEL DOESN'T LOCK WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. STEERING WHEEL COLUMN POPS WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN SHOOK VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. SURESKY HYUNDAI IN GOSHEN, NY WAS CONTACTED AND AN APPOINTMENT FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS SCHEDULED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 170,000.

SECURITY ALARM DOES NOT WORK. STEERING COLUMN JERKS WHEN HITTING A BUMP ON STREET OR HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THERE WAS ALSO AN ELECTRICAL SHORT WITH THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND THE KEY FOB FAILED TO CONNECT OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO START THE VEHICLE WITH THE FOB BEING IN THE CHARGER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE DEALER (ROUND ROCK HYUNDAI, 2405 N INTERSTATE HWY 35, ROUND ROCK, TX 78665, (512) 904-6400) WAS CONTACTED, BUT DID NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE STEERING COLUMN VIBRATES AND MAKES LOUD BANGING NOISE WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS AND FEELS LOOSE. WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE VIBRATION AND SHAKING AND LOUD BANGING NOISE GETS WORSE. THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS VERY LOOSE. VEHICLE FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. VEHICLE OUT OF WARRANTY 109,000 MILES.

WATER LEAKING INSIDE CABIN ON PASSENGER SIDE. MOLD ACCUMULATING BEHIND DASHBOARD. ALSO LOUD NOISE OF SPRAYING WATER,WHICH IS DISTRACTING DURING DRIVING ESPECIALLY DURING RIGHT OR LEFT TURNING. PASSENGER EXPERIENCED A NEAR SLIP AND FALL AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE ON A SLICK SURFACE, NOT REALIZING HER SHOES WERE WET FROM THE DRENCHED CARPET ON THAT SIDE OF THE CABIN.THERE IS ALSO A NOTICEABLE STENCH IN THE CABIN THAT HAS MADE ME NAUSEOUSLY SICK. I WAS DISTRACTED BY THE SOUND OF SPRAYING WATER TO THE POINT OF TRYING TO LOCATE IT WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING IN THE CITY OR HIGHWAYS. THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHILE DRIVING.

MY STEERING WHEEL IS CONSTANTLY MAKING A CLICKING SOUND AND VIBRATING VIOLENTLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HYUNDAI TODAY AND EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A WARRANTY ISSUE, THEY STILL WANTED ME TO PAY THEM TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE.

ESC TRACTION LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING AND CAN'T BE TURNED-OFF BY THE ESC BUTTON. CAR WAS REPAIRED BY LIA-HYUNDAI FOR A BAD ALTERNATOR WHEN THEY RETURNED IT BACK AFTER THE REPAIR, THE ESC LIGHT HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE. LIA-HYUNDAI CLAIMED NO FAULT WHILE BEING TOLD ABOUT THE ISSUE BEFORE CAR WAS DRIVEN FROM THEIR PREMISES. SALESPERSON SAID TO DRIVE CAR 2 DAYS AND SEE IF LIGHT GOES OUT AS OF YET LIGHT STILL ON.

I'VE HAD THIS SMALL PROBLEM WITH IT WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING HAS IT CLICKING SOUND LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL I DRIVE MY CAR OCCASIONALLY AT SOMETIMES I FEAR THAT SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPEN WITH IT I MIGHT LOSE CONTROL OR SOMETHING MY BREAK INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL SO I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT SO I DIDN'T NOTICE THERE WAS A COUPLE RECALLS ON THAT MY PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX] OR [XXX] YOU CAN ASK TO SPEAK FOR [XXX] OR [XXX].

THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN ON MY VEHICLE CONSTANTLY CLICKS. THIS IS A EXTENDED WARRANTY CAMPAIGN WITH HYUNDAI HOWEVER THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP IN RICHMOND, VA IN JANUARY 2017 AND THEY TOLD ME WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND GAVE ME A QUOTE TO FIX IT OF $800. THIS WAS BEFORE THE VEHICLE HIT 100,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY CAMPAIGN WAS RELEASED. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK IN OCTOBER BECAUSE I COULDN'T STAND IT ANYMORE, HYUNDAI REFUSED TO FIX IT AS IT WAS AT 106,000 MILES. THEY NEVER DOCUMENTED THE ISSUE IN JANUARY. NOW THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED ITS INSPECTION, EVEN THOUGH HYUNDAI TOLD ME IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE AND VIBRATED HEAVILY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WEST BROAD HYUNDAI (8903 W BROAD ST, RICHMOND, VA 23294) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL COUPLING WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY NOTICE FOR A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10110922 (STEERING, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE); HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS UNQUALIFIED DUE TO THE MILEAGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE REPAIRED PER THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000. *TT

TEKATA RECALL STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BAD SOUNDS LOSE REALLY STARTED AFTER MY WARRANTY WAS UP ABD THAT'S ONLY 5 DAYS SO I PAY ALL THIS MONEY CARZY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND NEVER WENT OFF ALL LIGHT BULBS ON THE CAR LIKE FRONT LIGHTS ALWAYS GO OUT I HAVE TO CHANGE THEM SO MANY TIMES AND BACK LIGHTS EVEN GOT TICKETS THIS COST ME THIS HAPPEN WHY DRIVING THE CAR

HAVE A CLUCKING NOISE EMANATING FROM BEHIND THE COUNSEL INLINE WITH STEERING COLUMN. I CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR HYUNDAI AND KIA VEHICLES. I ALSO LOCATED SOME VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE ON THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PART THAT IS THE CAUSE OF MOST NOISES. THE PART IN QUESTION IS A FLEXIBLE RUBBER COUPLING IN THE MDPS (MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING) ASSEMBLY. THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR HYUNDAI IS TSB 14-ST-002-1. I FOUND A PDF WITH THE INFORMATION WITH PICTURES ONLINE AND THE DATE THAT IS STATED WITHIN IT IS MAY 2014. IT DOES APPEAR THAT THEY HAVE A UPDATED REPLACEMENT COUPLING TO REPLACE THE ONES THAT ARE FAILING. WHEN THE COUPLING FAILS, IT RESULTS IN METAL ON METAL CONTACT. WITH THAT SAID, METAL ON METAL CONTACT OVER TIME MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE MDSP AND HAVE A HIGHER DOLLAR AMOUNT IN REPAIRS. I AM HESITANT IN...

STEERING CATCHES OR STICKS IN CENTER POSITION WHILE IN MOTIONS. REQUIRES EXTRA EFFORT TO MOVE PAST THE STICKING POINT WHICH RESULTS IN A JERK IN THE STEERING WHICH IS QUITE DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ROCKING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH PRODUCES A VERY CLOUD CLICK SOUND AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A CLICKING SOUND. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (LITHIA HYUNDAI OF ODESSA, 5000 JOHN BEN SHEPPERD PARKWAY, ODESSA, TX 79762). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 11087726. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THE STEERING COLUMN VIBRATES AND MAKES NOISE WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS AND WHEN GOING OVER 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY THE WHEEL VIBRATES AND MAKES NOISE AND FEELS LOOSE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BERN REPORTED AND THERE IS A CAMPIGN FOR 2010 MODELS, BUT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE MY CAR IS A 2012 MODEL.

3/7/18 LEFT VEHICLE FOR TESTING AND REPAIR AT CARDINALE AUTOMOTIVE GROUP IN CORONA, CA. 3/8/18 PICKED UP CAR IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION FOR $800. ARRIVED HOME TO LEARN OF RECALL FOR MY EXACT REPAIR. IT APPEARS I AM OVER MILEAGE FOR RECALL, HOWEVER, I REQUEST TO BE INCLUDED WHEN RECALL IS EXTENDED. THIS WAS/IS YOUR PROBLEM!

RECENTLY MY STEERING WHEEL HAS BEEN MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WHILE BOTH DRIVING AND IDLE, WHEN IT IS TURNED LEFT OR RIGHT. ONCE I GET TO A SPEED OF ABOUT 60 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGINS TO VIBRATE VIGOROUSLY AND IS EXTREMELY LOUD. AT TIMES, MY DRIVING FEELS UNSTABLE AS IF MY CAR IS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL.

WHENEVER I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL A LOUD CLUCK SOUND HAPPENS. IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOOSE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH FOUND OUT THAT THE FLEXIBLE COUPLER IS THE PROBLEM. A CHEAP PLASTIC PIECE THAT BREAKS BECAUSE IT IS SANDWICHED BETWEEN 2 METAL GEARS, NOT A GOOD SOLUTION.

2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REIMBURSEMENT FOR RECALL RELATED REPAIRS. *LD THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE SEAT BELT, POWER STEERING, AND AIRBAG RECALLS. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD CLICKING SOUND AND THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED WHEN TURNING IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (PIAZZA HYUNDAI OF POTTSTOWN, 84 AUTOPARK BLVD, LIMERICK, PA 19468) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COUPLING WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. *TT *TR

WHEN CAR TURNS LOUD CLICKING SOUND COMES FROM STEERING WHEEL. WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS STEERING COLUMN MAKES LOUD NOISE.

NOTICED KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL LEFT/RIGHT FROM CENTER POSITION. THE POWER STEERING SEEMS TO BE WORKING FINE AND ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. SEVERAL FORUMS AND ONLINE POSTED VIDEOS DESCRIBE THE FLEXIBLE RUBBER COUPLING IN THE MDPS (MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING) ASSEMBLY GETTING WORN OUT WHICH CAUSES THE GEAR TOOTH TO HAVE A METAL-ON-METAL CONTACT. CHECK THIS VIDEO ON YOUTUBE (HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=D7K17LIY6B0) AND OTHER RELATED VIDEO DESCRIBING THE ISSUE AND FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN SHOOK AND A RATTLING NOISE WAS HEARD WHEN A BUMP IN THE ROAD WAS ENCOUNTERED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 53,400. *BF UPDATED 8/28/18*JB

ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAVE EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL WITH A CLUNKING SOUND AT THE END OF TRAVEL IN BOTH DIRECTIONS . FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS GONNA FALL OFF IN MY LAP . HELP!

STEERING COUPLING IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HYUNDAI FOR 2012 SONATAS AS ADMITTED BY THE DEALER. IT IS A FAULTY PIECE AND CAN CAUSE THE STEERING TO BUCKLE WHILE DRIVING MAKING THE STEERING WHEEL INOPERABLE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOOSE, SHAKING, CREATING A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN. IT IS ANYTIME THE CAR IS IN MOTION WHETHER IT IS CITY OR HIGHWAY.

I AM HAVING A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COUPLER WHEN TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT, PRIMARILY AT A STOP OR LOW SPEEDS. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM EARLIER YEARS, BUT THE OWNERS WERE TOLD THAT NO RECALL HAS BEEN REQUIRED BY THE NHTSA. I AM EXPERIENCING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION ON A 2012 VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 2500 MILES ON IT. A RECALL SHOULD BE ACTIVATED BY THE NHTSA.

ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH STEERING COLUMN DEVELOPS A SHUDDER WHICH BUILDS AND WANES - STEERING BECOMES MORE CHALLENGING AS A RESULT. THE GREATER THE SPEED, THE MORE PRONOUNCED IS THIS CONDITION. THIS IS A SUBOPTIMAL CONDITION THAT IS NOT TYPICAL FOR A FUNCTIONAL VEHICLE, AND IS UNRELATED TO WHEEL QUALITY, ROTATION OR BALANCE. IT IS A TEMBLOR-LIKE SHUDDER WHICH CLEARLY WILL INTERFERE WITH SAFETY IF IT CONTINUES OR PROGRESSES. PERHAPS THIS IS RELATED TO NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10110926, BUT THIS VEHICLE IS NOW AT 108K MILES, SO THAT DOESN'T COVER IT, DOES IT. FURTHER, I HAVE NO RECORD OF NOTIFICATION OF RECEIVING MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION NUMBER: 5NP-F8M5G-03. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP CONTENDING INADEQUATE NOTICE, AND NEEDING THIS TO BE REPAIRED TO ASSURE SAFETY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V190000 (STEERING), 10V457000 (STEERING), AND 10V426000 (STEERING) FOR THE 2011 MODELS. IN ADDITION, THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED THREE TSBS ON THE STEERING FOR THE 2012 MODELS, BUT THERE WAS NO MANUFACTURER RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE STEERING WHICH IS LOOSE AND GETTING WORSE. AT FIRST IT WAS JUST A BIT LOOSE BUT NOW IT CONSTANTLY RATTLES OVER BUMPS AND THE WHOLE STEERING WHEEL IS LOOSE.

STEERING COLUMN MAKES VERY LOUD CLUNKING SOUND WHEN DRIVING OVER UNEVEN ROADS OR WHEN TRAVELING IN EXCESS OF 20 MPH. IT LITERALLY FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS ABOUT TO COME OFF IN THE DRIVER'S HANDS AND THE SOUND IS UNBEARABLE. THERE IS ALSO A FAIR AMOUNT OF "PLAY" IN THE STEERING, WITH A LOUD "CLUNK!" SOUND AT EITHER END OF THE "PLAY" ZONE. CLUNKING SOUND WHILE DRIVING IN EXCESS OF 20 MPH LESSENS WHEN WHEEL IS ENGAGED IN A TURN.

THE ENGINE WAS REPAIRED, AND WHILE THE ENGINE WAS BEING WORKED ON I REPAIRED THE STEERING, NOT KNOWING IT WAS A RECALL. WHEN I FOUND OUT I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT DID THE WORK AND GOT A PRINTOUT OF RECEIPT SHOWING THAT I PAID FOR THAT RECALL, ALSO ADVISED THAT I HAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR THE CAR. WELL IT HAS BEEN MONTHS LATER, CAN'T SEEM TO GET A RESPONSE FROM IN REGARDS TO MY REFUND AND I WAS ADVISED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET THE LIGHTS CHECKED. I HAVE HAD MY LIGHTS TO GO COMPLETELY OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THAT INCLUDES INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS. I NAVE HAD THE INSIDE LIGHTS TO GO OFF AND COME BACK ON SECONDS LATER. I HAVE HAD JUST THE OUTSIDE LIGHTS TO GO OUT FOR AT LEAST FIVE MINUTES WHILE DRIVING ON THE...

POWER STEERING AND NON-REQUESTED ACTIVATION OF TRACTION CONTROL_ I WAS PULLING INTO MY CARPORT ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO WHEN I LOST POWER STEERING ON MY CAR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT 20 MILES AWAY AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN THE NEXT DAY. THE NEXT DAY THE POWER STEERING WORKED AS NORMAL SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BACK AND THEY SUGGESTED TO BRING THE CAR IN IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS LEAVING MY DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT ON JUNE 12TH AND THE CAR HAD NO POWER STEERING AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM I WAS NEARBY AND I WAS ON MY WAY TO THEM. I GOT ABOUT 200 FEET FROM THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE WHEN MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND I COULDN'T CONTROL THE STEERING. LUCKILY IT WAS A 35 MPH SPEED ZONE SO I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER QUICKLY. I THOUGHT THE ENGINE...

I OWN A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT THERE IS A KNOCKING SOUND I BROUGHT MY CAR TO BE LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC WHO SAID THIS WEEK ALONE HE HAD 4 SONATA'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM HE SAID IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AS WAS DONE WITH THE 2011 SONATA'S THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS PREVIOUS CLAIMS ON THE INTERNET HAVE STATED LOOSING THEIR STEERING ALL TOGETHER THE CAR ONLY HAS 57,000 ON IT

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, A SERIES OF CLICKS WILL START TO HAPPEN WHETHER OR NOT THE CAR HAS BEEN TURNED ON. WHENEVER ON THE INTERSTATE, ANYTIME I GET NEAR 60 OR 70 MPH THE WHEEL STARTS SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY.

WITH THE CAR JUST RUNNING I CAN MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL AND MAKES A CLANKING NOISE. IT ALSO MAKES REALLY LOUD NOISES WHEN HIT BUMPS OR GO OVER RAILROAD CROSSINGS. IT DOESN'T FEEL SAFE AND IS VERY SCARY WHEN SEEING 2011 HAD RECALL FOR SAME THING AND MANY 2012 HAVE HAD SAME COMPLAINTS. THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION AND I HAVE CHILDREN. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD SAME PROBLEM THAT I HAVE READ ABOUT WITH STEERING COLUMN AND STEERING SHAFT. PLEASE ADVISE BEST WAY TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF.

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING COUPLER. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A LOT OF GIVE AND MAKES NOISE WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTS ON THIS CAR. I HAVE REPLACED THE LIGHTS AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. IT IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL ENGINE ROD BEARING, THIS CAR HAS HAD 7 RECALLS. THE ENGINE CAN GO NOW. I JUST WANT TO GET OUT OF THE CAR INTO SOMETHING WHERE THE MANUFACTURE DIDNOT RUSH TO PUT TOGETHER. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'VE TAKEN THE CAR FOR THE ENGINE NOISE AND THE CLICKING. OIL IS NOT STAYING IN THE CAR. "HELP"

PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL WHILE REMAINING STATIONARY AND ALSO WHEN IN MOTION. ALSO, WHEN MAKING A TURN THERE IS A CLICKING OR SOME SORT OF NOISE WHEN BEGINNING THE TURN.

I HAVE A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA AND THERE IS A CLICKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. TURNED LEFT OR RIGHT THE CLICK IS THERE WEATHER THE CAR IS MOVING OR NOT. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM A MONTH AFTER I BROUGHT THIS CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WASN'T ON THE RECALL LIST ONLY THE 2011 MODELS, BUT MY 2012 IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I GOT THIS CAR LAST YEAR WITH 49,000 MILES ON IT AND NOW THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE. IT SHAKES SO BAD NOW IF I HIT 65 MPH. I HAVE SMALL KIDS AND EVERY TIME I GET INTO THIS CAR THERE IS A FEAR OF ME LOSING CONTROL. I SEE SO MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS, BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. HOPEFULLY IT DOES NOT TAKE FOR A COUPLE OF DEATHS TO OCCUR BEFORE HYUNDAI REALIZE THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING....

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING COLUMN. WHEN DRIVING, IT MAKES LOUD NOISES AND THEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS IT STARTS SHAKING. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY CONCERN.

I HEARD A LIGHT KNOCKING NOISE WHEN TURNING STEERING SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT WHEN CAR WAS STATIONARY OR MOVING. LIGHT CLUNK EACH SIDE. MY MECHANIC DISASSEMBLED THE STEERING COLUMN AND REMOVED S FULLY WORN DOWN STEERING COUPLER.

THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A LOUD CLUCKING NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT AND RIGHT, WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE STATIONARY. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO SHAKES WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND FEELS LOOSE LIKE IT WILL COME OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AND VIBRATION WERE PRESENT FROM THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC COUPLING INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,451. UPDATED 06/07/17*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE STEERING COLUMN WAS MAKING A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE WHILE DRIVING AND BECAME LOOSE AS IF IT WERE GOING TO SEPARATE. UPDATED 09/07/2017*JS

THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN MAKES A LOUD CLICKING NOISE WHEN YOU TURN IT TO THE WHEEL LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT. ALSO WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS THE STEERING COLUMN MAKES THE SAME LOUD NOISE. THIS IS VERY DISCONCERTING DUE TO THE POTENTIAL DANGEROUS SITUATION . THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL DUE TO THE HIGH POSSIBILITY OF SOMETHING CATASTROPHIC HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

POPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION ESPECIALLY IN A TIGHT MANEUVER WHEN PARKING OR BACKING UP. AFTER READING ABOUT MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET WHERE SOME DRIVERS HAVE EVEN LOST T;HEIR POWER STEERING COMPLETELY, I AM OF THE OPINION THAT A RECALL IS WARRANTED AS THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CULPRIT IN MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS SEEMS TO BE AN INEXPENSIVE PART MADE OF RUBBER OR NEOPRENE CALLED A "FLEXIBLE MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING COUPLING". AS THIS PART BEGINS TO FAIL, SERIOUS STEERING PROBLEMS BEGIN TO APPEAR WHICH COULD LEAD TO INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.

STEERING COLUMN COUPLER MAKES RATTLING NOISE
