I had to get the coupling replaced after my steering started knocking loudly about 5 to 6 months ago. Now I'm having problems with the crank shaft sensor.

there is a clicking sound in the steering wheel when turning. The steering coupling needs to be replaced. This was a recall for 208-2015 Sonata's, Elantra's and Santa Fe's, BUT NOT THE AZERA. It is the same part in all models. This is a significant safety issue that Hyundai is aware of, but did not recall the Azera's as well

Steering wheel knocks loudly when turning left or right. Hyundai has issued a recall for sonota, elantra, santa fe and some kia models, but does not include the azera model even though the dealer verified it is the same issue and part failure. Many complaints online concerning the same problem and sudden loss of steering when part fails. Dealer states azera is not included because limited production caused less complaints so it was not included in the recall. Repair estimate is $448.00. If not repaired, complete loss of steering could occur.*dt*dt*jb consumer reference number # [xxx] from the dealer.

Steering wheel makes a click/clunk noise when turning from left to right. Makes a large rattling noise when driven over any bumps. Steering wheel vibrates at highway speeds, lots of play in the wheel, pulls the car to the left. I later learned its a faulty steering coupler. Hyundai provides a 10yr/100k warranty on this part for the elantra and sonata. Its unfair when the same faulty parts are used on the azera but not covered as it is on the other models.

Had to replace faulty steering wheel coupler that was a subject of a recall in other hyundai models. Literally the same exact part and part number as recalled models, but no recall on azera. Blessedly I had it replaced before it completely failed, but others undoubtedly may not recognize issue and car will eventually completely fail to steer. Car would make odd clicking sound from steering column turning left of right just off center or over bumps.

The steering makes a clunking sound when the wheel is turned. Mechanic said it's a faulty "rubber" star shaped part that has been recalled on other vehicles. Our cost to fix will be $289! The azera should have been included under the recall but so far it has not.
