Hyundai Elantra owners have reported 4 problems related to steering rack and pinion (under the steering category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Hyundai Elantra based on all problems reported for the Elantra.
Electronic stability light came on, and slowed the vehicle at random moments. After two days, steering began making a "pop" sound when turning left or right. Brought to dealer and confirmed the issue is with the rack and pinion. Car has 40k miles and is only 5 years old. No accidents and used only to commute <10 miles to and from work. This is considered outside of Hyundai's 5 year warranty (even though I am within the mileage consideration) so is not covered.
