2013 Hyundai Veloster steering complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 59, newest first, as owners wrote them.
A few months ago, my ABS and Traction Control lights began to come on and off randomly. Then, new lights would pop up, such as Check Engine and the Brake light. These lights would come on, and then go off very sporadically. In the last week, it had gotten much worse. My tire pressure light and EPS light had came on as well, totaling about 6 or 7 lights that are on and won't go off. Then, my steering wheel became increasingly hard to turn, I' m guessing because the EPS was off. Then, my speedometer completely stopped working, and my gas gauge was jumping up and down after I had filled it to a full tank. I pulled the code, and got code for a wheel speed sensor. I replaced the wheel speed sensor, and no lights went off. I then inspected the fuses, noticed that the ABS fuse was blown, and decided to replace it. I replaced it, and the ABS module (or pump) started to smoke badly. The car had a heavy electrical smoke smell and I didn't think it was safe to drive for a while. Hyundais have had recalls for ABS modules smoking before, but never for a 2013 Hyundai Veloster, and I believe that is something that should be investigated because I believe I could have been injured.
Steering wheel clunks while turning. Most likely the rubber steering wheel coupler. Found a bunch of other complaints for the same thing with this make and model.
My 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo steering recently developed a loose range with clunking at either end of the range. Appx mileage is 70K. Research indicates it could be caused by a rubber coupler in the steering column. Other Veloster owners stated online that this seems to be a common problem and should be investigated by the federal safety agency for a possible recall.
-Steering motor coupler -Interrupted my turning at highway speeds, posed danger against myself and every other driver on the road. -It has been confirmed as the problem, and is a well known problem in the Veloster community. A recall is needed to prevent car accidents. Please help us. -No, it was not inspected outside of repair. -No warning lights at all are triggered by this problem. Symptoms are steering wheel clunking, sticking, vibrating. As it gets worse, steering wheel can become stuck in place, making it very difficult to turn the wheel. https://youtu.be/-2ximJ3KM3Q Here is a link to someone opening up the motor to see the coupler torn to ribbons. It is the same piece as I replaced. The veloster forum has hundreds if not thousands of reports of this problem.
The MDPS Flexible Coupler failed and causes loose steering and clicking noise coming from the steering column.
I was experiencing loss of power steering/loose steering wheel in my Hyundai Veloster, which compromised my ability to control my car's steering direction and so could have resulted in an accident. There were no warning lights. I had my car inspected and the serviceman identified a worn steering coupler. I am aware that the Elantra and Sonata of like years have been issued a recall on the same part due to the poor material quality, but found my model did not yet have this same part recalled.
Steering column clicking because of worn steering wheel coupler. This could cause steering wheel to lock. Hyundai had agreed to cover the Elantra and sonata for up to 10 years but not other models. This is same problem for other models. They should fix as steering column could be harmed and accidents could occur.
Forward collision warning don't work at all, and clicking sound come from the front when press the gas pedal when I press the brake, when I turn left or right, that's sound is constantly all time, I see a lot of post and same car with this problem and hyundai don't do nothing about this, I send the car to replace the cv axles and same problem sound.
The steering wheel is lose with loud clicking sound when the wheel is turned. The cruise control when turn on will not turn off. The clicking lose steering happens when stationary or driving. Cruise control stocks when driving. This started 3 years ago. Stopped using cruise control. Took car to hyundai for both. Clicking/loose steering is a faulty part that is know by hyundai and has been recalled on sevetal other hyundai. But no recall has been done for the veloster
Motor driven power streering coupling replacement at 50 thousand miles, known problem with hyundais and veloster is not covered. Clunking sound in the wheel and loose.
The mdps (motor driven power steering) assembly contains a flexible rubber coupling which may wear over time resulting in a slight 'clicking' or 'thud' type noise when turning the steering wheel. This together with the huge amount of dead play makes the vehicle unsafe. There's a recall/extended warranty from hyundai USA for this same exact issue for other models with the exact same issue, but not for this one.
Steering wheel vibrate in motion and clicking when is stationary when you try to turn the wheel
The rubber steering coupler that connects the electric steering motor to the steering column has failed. When turning the steering wheel the front tires do not initially start to turn until you hear a metallic cluck and then the tires start to turn. This occurs whether the car is stopped or moving. Also, bumpy roads causes erratic shaking of the steering wheel. That did not start to occur until the rubber steering coupler failed. This part failed when the car had only 55,000 miles on it. The cost to repair it was around $250.
Steering wheel clicks when goes side to side. Shaking in steering when slowing down.
The motor driven power steering (mdps) rubber coupler has failed which is a very common issue with this manufacture. This specific issue for the veloster was left out of the latest service bulletin but other models with the same issue are included.
The steering coupler on my vehicle is failing. This is a known problem with hyundai and kia vehicles and there have been recalls for other models, why has there not been for my veloster?
2013 hyundai veloster with 40,000 miles. I am the original owner. I bought the car in april 2013 and just noticed this problem in january 2020. The steering wheel feels like it has a flat spot and sticks when I turn the wheel to the left or right. This happens regardless of being stationary or driving. The sticking only happens when I initially turn the wheel. And, when I reverse the wheel to drive straight - it has that momentary flat spot feel.
Continual play and clunking noise in steering wheel when turning. Coupler damaged in steering motor.
The plastic steering coupler has broken and is causing a clunking noise in the steering column. This is the same part that was recalled on the sonata and elantra but it is not covered under warranty because it is a veloster. The vehicle had just 50,000 miles and the part has failed. The dealer knew exactly what the problem was and said this was a common issue
1) steering wheel remote controls for radio & phone have been intermittent since original purchase; 2) air conditioning system does not completely restrict outside/engine warm air coming into cabin when not using A/C, for instance when windows down; 3) clock does not work consistently (it only recently just started working all by itself.
Steering wheel making clunking noises when it is turned and messed up clocks ring causing the vehicles airbag light to turn on
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai veloster. While driving 70 MPH, the steering wheel began to vibrate and became difficult to turn. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where they balanced the front driver and passenger tires; however, the failure continued. The contact called greenway hyundai orlando (located at 4110 w colonial dr, orlando, fl 32808, (407) 578-5337) and informed them of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 77,300.
Known mdps rubber coupler failure. Steering has a clunk in it when wheel is turned left or right. There is a tbs out for other hyundai's having this problem, but not the 2013 veloster.
Steering coupler problem. Same issue on the elantra and sonata have been recalled, but not on the veloster. I have read of many people having the issue with the coupler on their veloster. Please help get this recalled.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai veloster. The contact experienced a failure with the power steering and steering column bushing. While driving 70 MPH, the steering wheel vibrated uncontrollably and jerked to the left. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact attempted to correct the failure, but lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a ditch. The vehicle sustained tire damage. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was not filed. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to f1 auto sales (1336 fort campbell blvd, clarksville, tn 37042, (931) 919-4744) for diagnostic testing and repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,990.
There is a steering clunking noise as well as a "dead spot" in the steering wheel motion. There is a loss of control of the actual wheels while the steering wheel is at the center posistion. You can rock the steering wheel back and forth from center and the wheels will not turn. This is a known problem for hyundais, and hyundai has extended its warranty to their other models but have excluded the veloster for no reason. This is a ~$400 fix at the dealer ship for a known defective part. Total scam.
While driving, my steering wheel will begin to shake. This has been occurring frequently, during moments while I've driven straight and have turned. Regardless of the position of my wheel, it has increasingly began to shake, as if the wheel is out of place. The wheel has become loose. I visited a hyundai dealership, and they identified the issue, relating it to a small, plastic part in the wheel. The dealership told me that hyundai issued recalls for this exact part in other hyundai vehicles, just not the veloster. It is the same part in other hyundai vehicles, one that has been recalled in those makes and models, but hyundai has yet to issue a recall for this exact part in the veloster models. This issue has made it increasingly dangerous to drive, as the dealership verbally told me that eventually, the steering will may disconnect from the vehicle.
2013 hyundai veloster non turbo 39,000 miles catalytic converter failure and engine failure while driving. While driving the vehicle on a rural road, the engine shut down and the car lost power. I noticed smoke from the exhaust when the engine shut down. I was able to pull the vehicle to the side of the road. Vehicle was towed to dealer where it was found the catalytic converter had failed. It was noted that the engine had a loud ticking sound that it did not have prior to the catalytic converter failure. The engine is going to be replaced with cost share from hyundai. This is not a unique issue and has been recalled for the same exact same issue in the kia soul with the 1.6l engine. This issue should be addressed in full by the manufacturer.
My steering wheel shakes continuously while driving and when stationary the steering wheel makes the same noises while shaking but the tires are not turning with it. Has been happening a long time now.
