The is a clanking noise behind the steering wheel. Local mechanic describes it as notorious hyundai problem. The information for recall 10v‑426 was given to me. Hyundai does not include the hybrid with this recall. There are several other similar complaints, on this website, that describe the same problem. I have made this complaint before but notice it is no longer on the website. This noise happens when traveling over bumps, even slight subtle bumps, or while turning the wheel. It can happen while stationary or moving. This has been an ongoing problem but june 2018 is when hyundai acknowledged the problem during another service campaign. I currently have 129k miles.

Taking my car to the dealership on dec. 1 to get seatbelt recalls addressed and requested that they check my steering wheel issue. The steering clanks and rattles when turning and when going over rough roads it is terribly noisy. Driving over 60 causes the steering wheel to rattle and vibrate too. It is just a scary sound and feeling to be driving and thinking your steering wheel might fly off and you'll go heading into the woods! They said they have a lot of complaints about this same issue and I am not alone. They deal with this hyundai issue daily. Hoping this will be just an easy fix of the gasket or whatever has eroded and not become something greater. I am glad I can schedule an appointment to address this concern.

The recall for the coupler should be explanded to unlimited miles. This is a well documented problem and has failed on thousands of customers. $400 for a $5 piece of plastic is a ridiculous price for something hyundai should be fixing. With a broken coupler, the steering becomes very unstable and is not safe. The steering wheel shakes violently and is not able to be controlled at high speeds.
