Steering wheel: the steering wheel shakes vigorously when driving on the highway going past 60. Also, big clunking sound when turning the wheel. Feels like steering wheel will fall off. Had a similar issue with my sonata. There was a recall on the sonata on this to replace the steering coupling. Airbag light stays on: same issue as my sonata, however there is no recall on the azera. This is clearly issues with lot of hyundai's. This needs anew clock spring assembly/spiral cable. If these are same issues on a sonata then there should of been a recall on the azera as well. Not lot of people talk time to fill this out and report this. I guess a tragic accident needs to occur for hyundai to act.
