So my steering wheel coupler has gone bad I knew there was a recall on this when I first got the car; when I went to the hyundai dealership nobody would fix it and they tried to charge me $600 to fix it. And because of covid I couldnt get it fixed since I was furloughed. Then I was charged $500 to try to find what a ticking noise.was in my car and I was charged for.something that hyundai didnt fix and other dealers charged me and my issue still wasnt fixed. All together I wasted almost $1100 to find a way to fix my issues and nothing was fixed. The second issue I was told was heat box and actuator but it wasnt fixed because hyundai tried to charge me $3,041.84..... I know alot of.things are apart of these recalls this car have but no one even hyundai was willing to fix it free of charge.

The steering wheel has noticeable play when parked and when driving at freeway speeds seems to not maintain a straight line pulls right to left.

For the past two years my steering column has been making a weird clicking noise in the steering is extremely loose I have contacted hyundai about this situation as well and have taken the car to a mechanic for both reasons the brakes and the steering and they say that they are constantly having people with high on days come in with these exact same problems
Steering wheel has clunk when turning the wheel
Steering is not smooth, hard to steer, tight, making turning difficult when in motion.

The check engine warning indicator light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed the temperature sensor and wiring harness needed to be replaced.

When steering, a clunking noice is heard and felt as if it's loose. Was able to trace noise to the area of joint assy steering.
While driving the car will drift to the left or right. When correcting the steering, a jerk is felt in the wheel. Recently, my passenger commented on feeling it jerking. You feel a constant pull while driving due to the car going off to the side. I have purchased new tires, had the car aligned and completely inspected for bearings, tie rod and suspension issues. Nothing was found. At times, it becomes hard to control. It has been going on a while and is becoming increasingly worse.
The flexible coupling in the steering column that connects the steering input to the servo motor is disintegrating, causing driver input to feel "sticky". The vehicle is unresponsive to small steering corrections. The vehicle is difficult to control, especially on the freeway, possibly resulting in unintentional lane departure and collision. This same issue was recalled on elantra models.
Wheel clicking badly at all times
My steering column started making a clacking noise with any turning of the steering wheel and going over any bumps, dips in the roadway made it even worse. There was some play to the steering wheel making it seem like you could lose control at any moment. It was caused by a worn steering coupler. It cost me over $240 for dealership to fix. This appears to be a constant problem for the hyundai and should be a recall investigation by your agency.
Freeway speeds the steering wheel sticks either center or when turning it will stay stuck causing the car to swerve when pulled . Force has to be used to unstick the steering wheel it feels like a magnet is in the steering wheel and it should not feel like that. It's happened plenty times starting about a month ago I was told it was normal when I got the car and it gradually got worse. I bought a car early may the dealer called back and told me I had to return it for a different car due to my 'income and credit' which they were aware about when I got the car but the dealer gave false info to the bank which caused me issues. And this sonata 2013 was the only car they said they could give me .
The steering column started making a clunking or bumping noise when moving it at a slow speed. The steering also seemed a bit loose. I took it to a service station and was told that everything was "tight" and that it's probably nothing serious. However, I've read reports about others having similar experiences and being told it could be a failing steering coupler that could lead to loss of control. I'm trying to ascertain if this is something I should be concerned about.
The steering wheel sticks and/or temporarily locks while driving. The wheel while driving between 40 MPH and faster doesn't recenter and feels like it locks or sticks because the driver has to forcibly recenter the wheel. The car has 97,699 miles. 2 months ago jim click hyundai replaced power steering motor assembly $910.00 out of pocket costs. The repair did not fix this problem. Returned to same dealership on 12/9/19 service advisor did an alignment. The problem still remains.
The steering has become very jerky. They have already replaced the steering column once at 50000 miles but have refused to replace it now stating that it is out of warranty car has 96000 miles at present. We feel this problem could be very dangerous car was in motion on a highway when it got bad but does it all the time when driving hyundai started a case # 16436714 its hard to believe they would not want to fix an issue like this
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving 20 MPH and making a right turn, the steering wheel and brakes seized. As a result, the contact lost control of the vehicle and the vehicle slid into a pole. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed from the scene. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 59,037.
Steering column clunking noise and extra play in handling. I have seen numerous complaints on-line and it's a common problem of the steering coupler gear. This could lead to a dangerous loss of steering control. This should be a recall as dealers want $300 for replacement. The problem occurs anytime steering wheel is turned but when driving it is especially pronounced in reverse and turning.
