Vehicle steering wheel started giving a lag feedback about 9 months to 1 year ago. About 5 weeks ago, started noticing loud metal noise when going over bump with steering wheel being rotated. Did some research to find similar issues on Azera and many Hyundai sonata and other vehicles where steering wheel rubber coupler were worn out. Later also saw many complains here for this vehicle alone. I found no recall has been giving to the Azera, while it was giving to sonata and others. Had to take it to a mechanic to replace it, which charged for 4 hours of labor, and <$10 of part. The rubber couple was indeed worn out.
50 mph dry, clear and straight road, right rear control arm broke causing the rear wheel to become detached from the car and causing the car to careen into oncoming lane before correcting and landing in the right-hand ditch. Could have been a disaster and only by grace was this not a disaster for me and an unknown oncoming car. Event was witnessed by people in 2 other cars and they both stopped and gave their names.
Steering problem started with an annoying dead spot of approximately 1/2 inch on center and now has expanded to approximately 2" accompanied by severe rattling on rough surfaces. Checked this condition on u-tube and found it to be caused by a crumbling steering coupler in the electric steering assist unit. This same coupler was recalled in most Hyundai models except the azura. I believe its failure to be as grave a safety concern as it was in other models and erodes my confidence in Hyundai and in an otherwise trouble-free vehicle.
The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Azera. The contact stated while driving approximately 5 mph and pulling into his driveway, there was a clunking noise coming from the steering column. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact researched online and found that there were complaints about the failure of the steering coupler. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 91,000.
The Azera uses the same part # for the steering coupler that was recalled on the sonata and elantra. This same part # is used in 3 other models which Hyundai did not recall and somehow was let off the hook for addressing. I have replaced one in a 2014 santa fe and 2013 Azera. I want to make sure the NHTSA is aware of the fact that the same part is used across multiple models, yet only 2 were recalled. This is unfair that we have to pay $400 for each car to replace a 5 dollar part that Hyundai has recalled. Below are the models and part numbers. Any help is greatly appreciated. . Read more...

The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the vehicle was not covered under the extended warranty.

Vibration and banging and shudder felt from the steering column when driving over uneven pavement. The effect was more pronounced at higher speeds > 50 mph. A certified mechanic found the steering coupler badly worn and was replaced.

I had to get the coupling replaced after my steering started knocking loudly about 5 to 6 months ago. Now I'm having problems with the crank shaft sensor.
The steering wheel coupler is defective. Steering became unstable. Rattle and shaking. It’s terrifying to drive and not know what’s wrong. Got told it was tires. Got told it was the alignment. Got told that it had something to do with the drive train. . Too find out that it’s a $11 part. And to discover that elantra and sonata owners were notified but not Azera owners is just negligent behavior.
Clunking noise and shaking in the steering wheel. Initial research points to steering coupler which has been recalled on various other Hyundai models but not the Azera ( this is a frequent occurrence with Hyundai recalls since not as many Azeras were sold) the mechanic I took it to would not replace just the couple and quoted replacing the entire rack and pinion.
The steering wheel of my 2013 Hyundai Azera malfunctions. It makes a clicking noise when I move the steering wheel either clockwise or anti clockwise. The clicking noise dramatically increases when the road is not smooth. It started since almost a month back. After doing some research I found that this seems to be a common problem on many Hyundai models. There are many youtube videos showing this same problem that I am facing in my car. Here is one such link from youtube, and its description section pointed me about the recall of this part. Https://youtu. Be/lrkarm38wfc Hyundai had also issued a recall to change the steering coupler that seems to be faulty. The vehicles associated with the recall can be seen here https://autoservice. Hyundaiusa. Com/txx7/micrositetemplate/micrositetemplatevinvalidate/2689 it seems Hyundai is covering only sonata and elantra models. Since the same problem exists on Azera as well, I request you to please look into this matter as many folks had reported that the steering could fail to respond due to this issue. It is also a safety issue if the steering fails to respond while driving on the road on freeway. I can understand that Hyundai might have not received so much complains as the number of cars sold for sonata and elanatra models is significantly higher compared to Azera model. But if this is a safety issue and if the same parts are used in Azera model, I believe the recall should apply for Azera as well. The problem is easily reproducible. There is no warning lights or any messages or symptoms prior to failure.
There is a clicking sound in the steering wheel when turning. The steering coupling needs to be replaced. This was a recall for 208-2015 sonata's, elantra's and santa fe's, but not the Azera. It is the same part in all models. This is a significant safety issue that Hyundai is aware of, but did not recall the Azera's as well.
Happened a couple of times, car starts swerving into other lanes for a few seconds and cannot control car.
The steering makes a clunking sound when the wheel is turned. Mechanic said it's a faulty "rubber" star shaped part that has been recalled on other vehicles. Our cost to fix will be $289! the Azera should have been included under the recall but so far it has not.
The coupling is broken and I don't even have 60,000 miles on the vehicle. The steering rattles and shakes while driving at any speed and is dangerous if not fixed. Hyundai has recalled other coupling systems but none on the Azera. I have owned cars with over 100,000 miles and have never experienced this error.
The streeing wheel started clicking and or sticking a few months ago while turning. The clicking/sticking has progressively gotten worse and the steering wheel feels loose and unsecured. When driving on uneven roads the steering wheel rattles loudly and shakes constantly. I feel as I do not have any control of my vehicle at times and have to adjust contstantly when turning or driving over uneven roads.
Vehicle drifts left and right at interstate highway speeds, requiring constant attention and correction by the driver, which is distracting and contributes to driver fatigue. Unable to track smoothly around curves. Similar to alternating cross winds, even when there are none. Situation very aggravating in actual cross winds. Police officer pulled me over and said he would be justified in issuing a ticket for "weaving". Dealer technician drove the car and acknowledged that this is a negative characteristic of electrical steering and nothing to be done for it.
