Clunking or noise when steering by model year
What owners say
I am having an issue with the driver's front airbag clock spring assembly in my 2014 Hyundai Sonata. I see that there is a recall on the 2011-2014 Elantra vehicles, 2011-2013 Sonata vehicles, and 2011-2014 Sonata Hybrid vehicles for up to 15 years, but my 2014 Sonata is having the same issue. My car is not a hybrid, but what do I need to do in order to get this covered? Everything that the recall is describing is going on with my vehicle. The airbag light stays on, a non-functional horn, and/or inoperative steering wheel controls, the steering column makes a noise when turned.
The coupling linkage in the steering system has a piece that is deteriorating. This causes the steering mechanism to slip and then clunks into place after turning the wheel a few centimeters. I have spoken with the mechanic about this he states this is a common issue with the Hyundai vehicles. The replacement of the part is extremely cheap but the labor cost is huge as the steering column has to be opened up and closed.
When turning the steering wheel it makes a clicking or knocking noise. Maybe the rubber coupler is worn out.
Around 115,000 miles my 2014 sonata developed a loud clicking from steering column when turning or going over sharp bump. Steering has developed some "play" (no steering response) in wheel-neutral position. Problem is getting worse over time.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 hyundai sonata. While driving approximately 70 MPH, the steering wheel made a clicking sound. In addition, the vehicle also veered from left to right and right to left. The vehicle was taken to holler hyundai (1150 north orlando avenue, winter park, fl 32789, (407) 628-4343) where it was diagnosed that the steering coupling needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 108,000.
The steering wheel keeps clicking when you turn it and hitting bumps in the road. Cause it to jam an be in safe
