The HYUNDAI Genuine OEM Flexible Steering Couple 56315-2K000FFF has failed. The steering wheel clicks and has a clunking feel and is getting more pronounced. There is a manufacturing design flaw in the rubber compound causing it to disintegrate within the unit. For some reason, all Hyundai Elantra models using this coupler are covered under a manufacturers special warranty with the exception of the Coupe Models that they made for only 2 years.
There was a recall on previous Hyundai models for this same issue. The HYUNDAI Genuine OEM Flexible Steering Couple 56315-2K000FFF. I began to notice a slight sound a year ago, & it got worse. This is a KNOWN issue, yet Hyundai is saying its not a recall. This is an $8.00 part but in a spot that will cost $300+ in labor. This is a manufacture design flaw that should have never happened. Driving down the road the wheel is not stable.
1. There is an electrical issue with the power steering. 2. This poses a HUGE safety risk, as the power steering could completely give out and we could lose control of the vehicle. 3. A local mechanic we use confirmed this. 4. No warning lights came on. We had started to hear a "clunking" or "knocking" sound when turning the wheel so took it in to get inspected.
There was a recall on previous Hyundai models for this same issue. The HYUNDAI Genuine OEM Flexible Steering Couple 56315-2K000FFF. Has failed some time ago and we had no idea it was this dangerous until today. The steering wheel would click and has done so for a long time over 2 years and we noticed it getting much worse so we looked up videos and parts to see what it could be. This is a manufacture design flaw that should have never happened. Driving down the road the wheel is not stable and bumps or thumps and is also very distracting while driving. The biggest concern is that it makes you think that the steering is going to fail and you will crash. If Hyundai did this to make people come in for a repair to just get money at the expense of fearful customers this is a corporate wrong that needs to be corrected and force them to repair all these at no cost for the life of the car and redesign these so this never happens again.
The 2013 Hyundai Elantra's EPS light locks my steering wheel mid driving. The traction control light also comes on simultaneously, causing me to be unable to steer at an array of speeds.
The steering system is clunking both at rest and while in motion. The dealer diagnosed the problem as the steering coupler. This part is the subject of a recall in other similar models but for some reason the GT model is excluded, even though it is an identical part. The problem is getting progressively worse while Hyundai is refusing to help. The dealer service writer was at a loss to explain why my car is not included in the recall. First reported to Hyundai in January 2021 at about 90,000 miles.
El auto comienza a tambalearse cuando va a velocidad y pasa por una carretera inestable. El guía tiembla como si el auto se fuera a salir de la carretera.
My steering wheel is making a clanking noise when you turn it and when you hit a bump or go down a mountain it does it louder. Im just scared it will break and then whats going to happen
While I was driving on the highway, car steering became hard and I was unable to turn. Due to steering issue I couldnt keep car in my lane and I was about to crash into other cars. After pulling car on the side with extreme force on steering. And checking tires pressure, it was normal. Under the hood all fluids and oil were normal. Couldnt find power steering fluid tank. After researching online found out it only has electric power steering so no steering fluid and many hyundai car has/had same issue. In fact hyundai has recalled cars upto 2011 for this issue. Even highway petrol service officer said his 2012 elantra had same issue. Fyi even though my car is 2013 hyundai elantra, it was purchased around apr 2012, so it is early 2012 built with possibly 2011 components.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, there was a banging and rubbing sound coming from the steering column while turning in either direction. The vehicle was taken to werner hyundai (252 capital cir sw, tallahassee, fl 32304) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the steering column was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 56,000.
Clipping/popping while turning steering column. Fix not covered by dealer and is known problem. Internet search shows cars with this issue back to at least 2015. To repair at mechanic/dealer is approx $400. With it fix concerned about wear and decrease in steering ability.
Steering bushing under dash, causing steering issues.
1. The fabric on the seats is not colorfast. Any drop of clean water looks like a stain when it dries. 2. My steering wheel knocks when turned left and right, when in motion and stationary. It is the u-joint behind the break peddle from the steering column making a knocking/clunking noise.
Steering "knocks" while turning wheel; both standing and with vehicle moving along city streets. Looked up symptom online, which appears to be a common problem known as a defective and unsafe steering coupler. Maybe the coupler should be metal & not plastic. Steering also shakes at 45mph & also when you brake.
I have a 2013 hyundai elantra coupe gs, and I have had the steering coupler issue, the brake lights not turning off issue, as well as the computer sending the wrong signals and wreaking havoc causing me to replace the alternator, spark plugs, and coils only to find out a week later that my car did in fact fall under two of the specific recall notices (brake lights and computer) after hyundai said it didnt!. When I contacted hyundai again in regards to all of it in may or june 2020, their exact words to me were "what do you want us to do about it?" and now, after finally getting the coupler issue resolved in november, my eps just all of a sudden quit working with no warning. I was driving and out of nowhere, the wheel violently turned all the way to the right and locked. No eps light, no warning, no nothing! This luckily in my case did not cause me to wreck, but it could have caused serious injuries had there been another car near me when it happened! It also did it several times sitting stationary when being looked at in the shop!
Steering is making a 'clunking ' noise when steering wheel is turned. The steering feels like it has play before it engages. The noise and play are present whether the vehicle is moving or stationary. Issue is the same as what has been previously reported. I'm concerned that the steering will not respond properly and cause an accident.
There is a clicking/clunking sound from my steering wheel. While I am driving it will snap my steering wheel to the middle which is very unsafe as this could cause my vehicle to move in a different direction. The diagnosis is the power steering coupler but since I'm at 101,000 miles (only 1,000 miles over the warranty) the dealership won't cover it.
Steering wheel play with clicking/clunking sound when steering wheel turn ~5 degrees right and left. Noticed problem 200 miles ago and problem getting worst fast. Car has ~80k miles.
There is a knocking when I turn my steering wheel when driving, parked, and when I go over bumps both on streets, and highway at any speed. This is very concerning and I feel unsafe driving my vehicle
After getting the recall for brakes done , two months later my steering wheel started doing a cluck sound whenever I turn my steering wheel. It does it when driving, parked , on the highway, and the city street.
Steering wheel makes a clicking sound every time it is moved and shakes violently when trying to stop the vehicle. The air bag light will not go off.
Steering coupler when you move the wheel back and forth it clicks makes noise when hit bumps in the road I am scared to drive it!
Steering "knocks" while turning wheel. "both standing and with vehicle moving along city streets" looked up symptom online, which appears to be a common problem know as a defective and unsafe steering coupler. The coupler costs about $5.00 us dollars but costs $410.00 to replace.
Flexible steering couple falls apart causing steering wheel to.become loose and make loud metallic clanking noise. Unable to provide pictures due to me not knowing how to disassemble steering column. Multiple complaints reported according to hyundai forums
My steering wheel started with making a clicking sound and now the steering is pulling and quite frankly I am afraid that my car steering column will come undone and I will have an accident. This car has less than 40,000 miles on it and should not have issues.
I purchased this vehicle back in january of 2019 & when I purchased it the steering wheel made a clicking sound. I mentioned it to the car dealer & was assured it was nothing. After having my oil changed I was told my steering column needed to be replaced. This is quite disheartening as I have had the car for just one year & a half at this point. I was told to research for recalls in relation to this particular issues as it has been reported for other vehicles of the same make, model & year. I am afraid my car steering will go out while driving.
The steering knuckle (coupler) is bad.
Car has been in shop 3 times for same issue. Car pulls dangerously to the left. I've noticed many complaints online for this exact problem but not recall or fix available. This is extremely dangerous due to the fact you have to over compensate steering. This will happen on any road or highway. Even worse if roads are bad, the will over compensate itself. Scary to drive.
There is an existing safety issue with hyundai electric steering. The rubber steering coupling is defective and they have issued an extended warranty for 2013 hyundai elantra sedans but not the gt models. However, they both use the same electric motor. My car exhibits the "clunking noise" which is a symptom of the worn part. My hyundai dealer checked it and immediately said that it was indeed the problem but upon checking my VIN number my gt model elantra is not covered. I think hyundai has just overlooked this but even though I have an open case with them they keep beating around the bush about it. I tried explaining to them that this is a serious safety issue but it didn't seem to help. When you move the steering wheel back and forth you hear this clunking noise which is indicative of the worn rubber bushing. Attached in the next paragraph is the verbiage from the hyundai website regarding this issue. I really need to get them to cover my car. It is a $300 plus repair. Bulletin number: 5np-f8m5g-03 bulletin date: 02-27-2017 component: 353000 equipment:electrical summary: hyundai has announced an extended warranty for the motor driven power steering (mdps) coupling on the following vehicles: ? 2011-2014 sonata (yfa), 2011-2014 sonata hybrid (yf hev) ? 2007-2015 elantra (hd, md/ud), 2009-2012 elantra tourin
