The airbag light has been on and the steering has slowly gotten really loose and making clicking sounds. It now almost hitches when you turn it and our mechanic said it was unsafe to drive. The buttons on the steering wheel do not work either. We had our personal mechanic look at it and he found the extended warranty info from old recalls. He also called the dealer and they confirmed the extended warranty info on both the steering and the airbag. We then took it from our personal mechanic to the dealer and the dealer said it was not covered under the extended warranty due to the incorrect code during diagnostics. The charge is going to be $1950. 00 to fix it as it needs a whole new steering column and coupler and something else. We have had so many recalls fixed on this car that it's getting ridiculous. I love how they "recall" and pay for the little things, but not this big things that is serious and dangerous. We have received a letter stating that the engine could seize so just waiting for that to happen . . . . Not a very happy Hyundai customer at the moment. We will not pay the $1950. 00 and I will for sure keep fighting this battle. Hyundai should stand behind their products and it's obvious something is wrong as so many people have documented the same problems. They need to make this right and fix it before someone gets seriously injured.

Steering wheel makes clunking noise when going over bumps like it's loose somewhere. Dealership is saying without even looking at it replace the whole column. But they say it's no recall.

Steering column is loose and appears to be getting worse.

There's a clicking sound in the steering column of my vehicle, first it was a problem with the cruise control system now it's the steering column. Stationary and in motion.

The flexible coupling in the steering column that connects the steering input to the servo motor is disintegrating, causing driver input to feel "sticky". The vehicle is unresponsive to small steering corrections. The vehicle is difficult to control, especially on the freeway, possibly resulting in unintentional lane departure and collision. This same issue was recalled on elantra models.

My steering column started making a clacking noise with any turning of the steering wheel and going over any bumps, dips in the roadway made it even worse. There was some play to the steering wheel making it seem like you could lose control at any moment. It was caused by a worn steering coupler. It cost me over $240 for dealership to fix. This appears to be a constant problem for the Hyundai and should be a recall investigation by your agency.

On November 23, 2019 I started my car and proceeded to back out of my drive way. My power steering locked, the light came on along with my traction control light. I had to force my steering wheel to turn my car back into my driveway to get it off the roadway. I turned my car off, and back on and lights disappeared and I had control again. A few weeks later, driving down the road my steering got tight and fought my car to get it home. I got it towed to the dealership. They told me the whole power steering column had to be replaced. There was also a recall on a clicking noise I had been hearing for a few months in the steering column. They refused to think it was there problem. Today January 2, 2020 I was driving on a straight road, going 55 miles per hour. Traction control light came on and power steering. I lost control of steering my car. I had just enough time to get my car off the road to avoid getting hit. I turned the car off, and the lights seized. This car is very unsafe to drive and Hyundai is doing nothing to fix the problem other than giving expensive bills to fix. The car is not even 3 years old, there should not be this many problems already. Also paint is randomly peeling on the roof and hood of my car.

The steering column started making a clunking or bumping noise when moving it at a slow speed. The steering also seemed a bit loose. I took it to a service station and was told that everything was "tight" and that it's probably nothing serious. However, I've read reports about others having similar experiences and being told it could be a failing steering coupler that could lead to loss of control. I'm trying to ascertain if this is something I should be concerned about.

The steering has become very jerky. They have already replaced the steering column once at 50000 miles but have refused to replace it now stating that it is out of warranty car has 96000 miles at present. We feel this problem could be very dangerous car was in motion on a highway when it got bad but does it all the time when driving Hyundai started a case # 16436714 its hard to believe they would not want to fix an issue like this.

Seems steering column is defective, keep giving clanking sounds. Also airbag warning sign keeps coming.

Steering column rattles and shakes when I go over bumps/pot holes. My mechanic described the incidents as similar to ones which he has seen on other Sonatas and told me that there is an open recall. Does not appear to be a recall for this model year.

When driving in huntsville, al on city streets and the highway when I'm turning my steering wheel it makes a clicking noise and the column appears loose. The brakes are sticking and requires me to push down hard to stop my vehicle. I have replaced the front lights and back ends lights numerous times and they continue to go out frequently. I purchased new tires in June 2019 from bentley Hyundai in huntsville, al and while driving the tire tube popped and deflated. There were no nails in the tire. There was a hole in the tube. I almost crashed.

I was driving and my steering column started making a strange noise. The steering wheel has a lot of play in it. I was only about two miles from home, so luckily I made it. Upon a google search I realize there was a recall open on the steering coupling. I made an appointment to have my car looked at. When I dropped it off, I was notified I wasn't covered under recall because I was past the 100,000 mile warranty for the coupling. It's extremely sad that I had to pay $300 to fix a $5 part that Hyundai knows is defective.

Steering wheel coupler in steering column is broken.

I had experienced problems with the brakes making noise and not reacting timely throughout 2019 before knowledge of a recall. On 5/15/19 I went to Hyundai services for a routine oil change. Hyundai informed me that there was a recall, which I now know to be service campaign 953, and that they needed a software update to resolve the issue. On my drive home after the software update was supposedly corrected, my check engine light started flashing and my car would not accelerate, was jerking, and was stopping in the middle of the road. This occurred in a residential area on a city street. I immediately called and brought the car back in. Five days later on 5/20/19, I experienced the same issue. On or about 7/26/19, my power steering began malfunctioning and my steering wheel would lock if I turned my steering wheel at all. The only way to undo this was by restarting the car, and it would just happen again. The steering wheel locked on city streets. I took my car into Hyundai services on 7/26/19, and it took them until 8/12/19 to finally resolve the issue by replacing the whole steering column and housing. During this time period, Hyundai repeatedly returned the car to me and claimed the issue was resolved but the issue kept reoccurring. On 12/28/19, the check engine light began flashing again with the exact same problems experienced 5/15/19 and 5/20/19. The check engine light appeared as soon as I exited the interstate and was driving on a city street. My car was returned to me on 12/31/19.

The steering column is making clunking sounds when turning right or left and the vehicle has lost steering response. My own reading tells me that it is the bushing in the column, which has been worn down or broken; long story short - this is not a unique problem to me. The vehicle unsafe to drive at this point.

The steering column makes a very loud clunking noise whenever you go over a bump in the road. Must of the time it happens at low speeds. It feels and sounds like something is loose or will come loose. This can cause serious injury or death.

Around 115,000 miles my 2014 Sonata developed a loud clicking from steering column when turning or going over sharp bump. Steering has developed some "play" (no steering response) in wheel-neutral position. Problem is getting worse over time.

My whole power steering column gave out as soon as I hit 100,000. It was knocking as I was driving, on all streets and it felt like my steering wheel and wheels were going to fall off. My mechanic said the dealership told him they keep 22 in stock at all times, because they always give out. . That's a safety issue. We are still trying to get it fixed, not under warranty, not even extended warranty and the car is not safe to drive. This should be a recall. I'm a realtor and without a car. I'm frustrated as I've only had it a year and to trade it in I'd take a $3,000 loss. I don't even know how much to fix it.

When turning left or right a loud click can be heard coming from steering column. When driving and drive over a small bump in the road the steering column also makes the same noise.

Takata recalls. Very very loose steering column. Makes a rattling/knicking noise especially if you hit a bump. Steering wheel is very loose and does not even lock. It makes noise when in park if you move or shake steering wheel. Then of course is worse when driving. Ive noticed it right after we bought it in febuary 2019. But didnt realize what it was.
