2012 Hyundai Veloster steering complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 42, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The engine failed does not start and there is a lot of smoke
The steering of the veloster is shakey and the eps becomes tight to control while oppertating on the highway. Changing lanes and the slight turn of a curve, cause the vehicle to resist the action on the highway. The steering column also makes a clunky noise while turning left and right in operation at any speed in motion. The vehicle does not feel safe to operate while passing traffic on the highway, taking curves and exits off the highway. Presented the issue to a hyundai dealership and they stated the coupler needs to be replaced. The cost of the part is minimal but the labor was expensive. Reserach shows the coupler of the same year as been recalled on other hyundai vehicles however the veloster has yet to be recalled.
Steering wheel coupler disintegration, the same as elantra models. Clicking and looseness in the steering wheel. It is present stationary or in motion. This is a very common issue with these vehicles. My vehicle has 55,000 miles.
My car like many others have had an issue with the coupler going bad in the steering wheel. Mine started at around 85,000 miles and I was told by the dealership there may be a bulletin on it. The steering wheel makes noise when turning it and has about 2 inches of play.
There is play in the steering wheel when turning back and forth. Also hear a clicking noise. I am told there is a very inexpensive couple that needs to be replaced and that is common. I have appx 90000 miles on car. Starting noticing this about 6 months ago. I mentioned this to mechanics where I normally have car serviced. They recommended seeing hyundia and mentioned the coupler.
My steering wheel has a thud to it when I turn left and right, steering is getting hard to control as well. I seen a lot of hyundai has had a steering coupling recall but not the veloster.this problem my well exist in the veloster
The veloster is a 2012 with only 19k miles. Recently it has started making a clunking noise when turning the steering wheel left or right and there is excessive vibration when driving in a straight line. Hyundai states that this is not a safety issue, however, the majority of sources online say that this is caused by a failed steering coupler (a k a.steering dampener) and this can cause the wheel to lock up while driving. Hyundai has recalled this issue on the sonata and the elantra but refuses to do anything for veloster owners. The part can be purchased online from the oem for roughly $6 but the dealer from which I purchased the vehicle is asking $400 to fix this issue. Forums on line will show a great number of veloster owners dealing with this same issue and cost to fix this problem. I truly feel as though hyundai has admitted fault and a safety concern by recalling other vehicles for the exact issue but they still refuse to fix the veloster. I called and spoke with a hyundai USA representative this afternoon who says that it's up to the dealer to decide if it's covered under their standard warranty or not and that I should have purchased the extended warranty if I wanted this fixed. As he knew exactly what I was talking about it goes to show that I am not the only veloster owner dealing with this problem. This issue needs to be fixed at the expense of hyundai.
Steering wheel has play in it and makes a noise thud like noise when u turn it u cant control the car its the steering coupling same as the sonata and elantra they have been recalled but not the veloster but its the same part it just happened no warning at all this is very dangerous and needs to be recalled its the same part and problem but hyundai hasnt recalled and needs to this car company ignores the fact they have a defective part. It just desinergrates someone is going to get hurt there is no warning at all it just happens u can just sit there and turn wheel just a lil and u can hear it and feels like there is no control in the steering wheel
I have a lunk noise and play in my steering wheel though it needed a alingment but was told it was a steering coupling. Sonta and elantra has a recall on the same issue its the same $1.88 part that is failing in the other hyundai cars and they have a recall but not the veloster well if its the same part then it is a defective part recall it.this is safety concern guess they waiting for someone to get hurt before its recalled oh by the way its $388. Roughly the dealership said to fix it for a $1.88 rubber piece go figure.I purchased this 2012 veloster off the showroom floor I am the only owner
My 2012 veloster recently stared making a clicking sound whenever I turn. It shakes when I'm on the highways going 70 MPH. When I run over any small bumps it makes a clacking noise and hard to control the steering wheel. If I switch lanes and run over one on the markers on the road the car feels like it slides to the side that I switch and the steering wheel is difficult to control. I don't feel safe driving this car. I checked under the steering wheel in the dashboard and there's oil liquid leaking from steering wheel area. If I'm at a stop sign and turn the steering wheel it makes the clacking sound and it feels like the steering wheel is coming loose.
There is a clicking noise when the steering wheel is turned. First happen while stationary. It is now occurring in motion.
Reduced steering responsiveness and clunking noise coming from behind the steering wheel. Loose steering made steering less responsive and dangerous. The rubber steering coupling between the steering transmission behind the steering wheel and the steering shaft has become brittle and broke apart. The car has 81,000 miles on it and is only seven years old. Upon further investigation the exact same parts are used on the hyundai elantra and sonata, both of which hyundai extended the warranties on this part to address the exact same problem. The vehicle was in motion on a highway when the problem was was first observed. The vehicle doesn't respond smoothly to steering input. This may result in a very dangerous situation.
The power assist steering coupler is defective and may potentially fail and cause loss of control.I believe hyundai is aware of this problem but addressing it.
The steering column pops every time I make a turn, whether a sharp turn or mild. I can be parked and turn the steering wheel and it pops. There seems to be looseness in the steering.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 hyundai veloster. The contact stated that a clicking noise coming from the steering wheel occurred while driving. In addition, the contact stated that there was also a lot of movement in the steering. There was no warning indicator lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to key hyundai dealer, located at 4660 southside blvd #100, jacksonville, fl 32216, (904) 642-6060 , where it was diagnosed that the mdps coupler replacement for noise on steering column needed. The vehicle was not repaired due to the repaired fees. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not offer further assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000.
This is from a hyundai technical service bulletin number 17-st-001 dated from february 2017. Itfs for a motor driven power steering (mdps) coupling replacement. It makes a terrible and very loud thud sound on every little bump or hole on the road and you canft even talk to each other in the car itfs so loud. This is also happening on the elantra gt, santa fe, elantra coupe and azeri models. The op code is 56300f25. Casual part #56315-2k000-fff. Nature code d61 cause code zz4
Was driving and my car would not turn almost caused a seroius accident ..took it in to be repaired the plastic coupling piece was under $20 and labor was $320. My miliage is under 55,000
The car has a failing steering coupler just as other models of hyundai have and they claim the problem is known but nothing can be done to to no recall. It is no different than other models that were recalled.
I own a 2012 hyundai veloster twd. My sunroof just exploded out of no-where and I called hyundai and they told me that there is no recall on this issue. In addition, I need to replace a steering bushing and it is not covered in any recall and I am reading on the internet that this item has been repaired. Great car, but no accountability by this organization to fix their engineers issues.
There is a clicking in the steering column. Every time I drive the car and turn the wheel it clicks and jerks. Even when your standing still, if you turn the wheel back and fourth. When on highway it vibrates and steering jerks. Took to a mechanic it will cost $500.00 to repair. They said it was a plastic fuller in the steering column that needs to be replaced.
I have 16,809 miles on the car I noticed steering was becoming clunky took it to the dealer and it was a coupler worn out. The dealer had it in stock and they never have anything in stock said it is usually under warranty when this happens. Well, I have low miles and for a $2.14 part the labor brought it up to $488.68. It seems to be a recurring problem and most cars at my mileage are still under warranty..
It started making a noise every time I drive it and the wheel jerks to the sides
Steering wheel clicks and vibrates during turns & lane changes. This issue is highly dangerous & has probably caused wrecks. I believe that the issue is in the plastic parts used. The suspension & struts are in need of replacement car is 5 years old, bought new off show room floor 2/14.2013. Car has 80000 miles and is on the second set of low profile tires. I follow the maintenance guide in the manual.
Stearing motor coupler has disintegrated making for play in the stearing and unstable vibration while driving especially at highway speeds.
Steering coupler has disintegrated (this has already been recalled for the sonata, but no recall yet for velosters). Clicking when turning steering wheel (anytime, car is on or off, in motion or stationary).
The steering wheel clicks when you move in any direction. It happens while driving as well as when sitting still. This is a known problem with the elantra and sonata. Please refer to case numbers: for the elantra ' the federal safety agency id number: 11085127 and sonata the federal safety agency id number: 11101809 and the federal safety agency id number: 11093962.
I am experiencing the same steering coupler issue as the current open recall for the hyundai sonata.
When driving under any road conditions and at speeds from 15 to 65, the car seems to track to the left or right of center but does not want to track straight ahead. When trying to turn the wheel to correct this, there is a lot of resistance, which forces the driver to over-correct and at times nearly lose control. At times the wheel also tries to turn on its own (quick slight jerks to the left or right) and can be very difficult to maintain complete control. This is especially bad under icy conditions and could easily send the car into a spin. I have had the wheel aligned and tires checked and no mechanical issues have been found. I also took the car to a dealer for this issue and even though I made it clear this happens on dry roads, the claim they could not reproduce the issue and suggested replacing my tires with snow tires. This obviously has nothing to do with the issue when the roads are dry. I have also seen several other reports of this on several web sites and they are describing exactly the same things that I am seeing. I would like to know how this issue can be escalated and resolved before this causes an accident.
I was driving on highway ,steering wheel seems to be sticking ,takes effort to keep straight on road.it seems like the steering wheel has a sticky spot in center it's been getting worse ,took to dealer they say they can't duplicate the problem but as soon as I left it came right back,there is a problem but they say its because I have to get used to electric assist steering ,I've driven other cars with same assist but never had this problem it now does this at any speed over 20 MPH.
