Steering Wheel Vibrate problems of the 2012 Hyundai Sonata

When driving there is a clicking noise coming from the steering wheel and shaking of the car and when running over man holes.

Steering makes a clicking noise when going over bumps, potholes, etc. Depending on the condition of the road, the steering wheel will shake. Occurs at almost any speed (but occurs less due to the stability at low speeds).

Steering wheel will shake rapidly when driving. Especially when I'm driving on the interstate.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Sonata. While driving, the contact heard a loud clicking sound and the steering wheel vibrated when turning in either direction. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (piazza Hyundai of pottstown, 84 autopark blvd, limerick, PA 19468) where it was diagnosed that the steering coupling was faulty. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 110,000.

The steering wheel makes a loud clucking noise when turning left and right, while driving and while stationary. The steering wheel also shakes when driving on the highway and feels loose like it will come off.

The steering wheel column makes a loud clicking noise when you turn it to the left and to the right. When you travel over 50 mph the steering wheel shakes violently and makes a loud noise. When you go over any bumps the steering column makes the same loud noise. I do not feel comfortable driving the car as it feels like the steering wheel is going to break off. This is extremely dangerous. This should definitely be a recall due to the high possibility of something catastrophic happening while driving the car. I have taken it to the shop and it is going to cost approximately $400. 00 to fix for a part that cost only $4. 00. This part should be a recall!!!!!!!!!!!!!! listen to your consumers as this is a dangerous condition.

I have noticed a knock in my steering wheel. The noise is getting worse and the steering wheel vibrates when my tires go over a bump. I will be bringing it into the shop in a few days to get repaired. I have done research and found that this is a systemic problem that could result in a crash. Hyundai needs to issue a recall on this item, as it is unsafe to continue driving the vehicle. If this doesn't warrant a recall or class action law suit, I'm not sure what does. My vehicle was under the 100,000 mile warranty when this issue began, but has got excessively worse. I just ran out on my 1000,000 mile warranty, by about 250 miles.

Steering wheel shakes violently when a small bump is hit. Loud rattle. Steering wheel knocks with a slight turn both ways. Progressively getting worse day to day. This happens on all roads.

The problem started when my steering wheel began to rattle a week ago causing a harsh shake at the hands and a loud noise in the steering column. I called the dealership and they informed me it's a defective bushing that malfunctions and a large majority of Sonatas are having this issue. He said it's happening so much that the manufacturer can't keep up with producing the part so there is a slight delay on fixing it. I asked if the vehicle is safe to drive and he informed me the manufacturer said it's safe. I scheduled an appointment for a week and a half out, due to the supply and demand of the part. During this period I continued to drive the car and it would occur every time the car was in motion. While driving to work on a highway the steering deteriorated so quickly not only did the steering wheel start to shake violently but the entire vehicle would completely shudder while driving it. It felt like I was driving on an ungraded dirt road and the rattle was increasing loud out of the steering column. The vehicle became extremely unsafe and hard to handle as the steering would sway. This made the vehicle loose and uncontrollable to drive. There was no safe options to continue to drive the vehicle until it was fixed. There are very few vehicle issues more dangerous and devastating than loss of steering while driving a vehicle. This is roughly a $5 dollar bushing that takes around 2 hours to fix. A defect that is this simple to fix but is extremely deadly gives plenty of cause for a recall. On top of that, there is no doubt that a recall is necessary because of the widespread occurrences. Hopefully this doesn't continue to unannounced until major accidents happen before they fix this major defect. Please refer to the safety recall compendium where this fits the criteria for the NHTSA. . Read more...
