My 2010 Elantra was recalled for defective steering coupler. About 2 months ago the steering collar started to click when the steering wheel was turned. I checked and there was a recall for this. When I went to Delray Hyundai in Delray Beach, Fl I was told I would have to pay approximately $440 to have the collar replaced. I don't understand why I should pay for a recalled item that just failed the previous week. I feel I should be entitled to a full refund from Delray Hyundai for the repair. I had no choice in paying since they had the car and I didn't want my wife to drive it in this condition.

In February of 2021, I took my Hyundai in for several recall services, including 15V100000. || In the following months, my car began to lose power steering capabilities either on ignition or while driving. Losing power steering while driving was extremely dangerous and the risk of an accident was obvious, requiring me to pull off of the road or take an exit several times. The power steering eventually failed entirely on 5/5/2021. || At this point, I ran diagnostic scan that returned the code C1604, with a definition of "ECU Hardware Error". || I scheduled an appointment with the same dealership that did the recall service and they determined that the issue was that the "power steering has [an] internal failure." This leads me to believe that they are referring to the electric power steering torque sensor, a key component identified in the 15V100000 recall. However, they were unwilling to cover the cost of repair ($2,990 + tax) because I had already completed the recall service. || Investigating online forums (https://) showed me that there are a considerable number of people having the exact same, often life-threating, issue and are also being told by Hyundai that there is no coverage because they had the recall service completed. This is asinine as the issue only occurred for me after their recall service was completed, meaning the service either doesn't avoid or doesn't resolve the issue that lead to the 15V100000 recall in the first place. || As far as I can understand, the torque sensor was faulty as a result of Hyundai's manufacturing and the 15V100000 recall did not provide a solution to the problem. It was a false prescription and, in my opinion, the real issue would cost Hyundai too much money to fix so they are attempting pull their life-endangering vehicles off of the road by unfairly gouging their own customers.

The electronic power steering assistance has disabled during driving, making steering extremely difficult. At the time driving was done on city streets and the car was in motion. This has happened 4 times in the past month. One other time, the eps was disabled when I started the car. I drove around the block and stopped, then turned the car off. When I started the car 10 minutes later, the power steering was working again. This was the issue covered in the 2015 recall and I had it taken care of by a Hyundai dealership service department when I received the recall notice.

Steering wheel clicking noise started in April 2021. Looked up and there was a recall for steering collar on 2010 Hyundai Elantra.. I went to delray Hyundai for recall and they said they had to charge me(over $400) to replace steering collar that was recalled.

My car has already had the recall for the steering wheel issue completed in 2015 but it now makes a awful clicking noise when it is being turned.

- Hamilton, OH, USA

This car has a defect in steering column that is well known to Hyundai, the defect is caused by a substandard rubber bushing that has deteriorated and fallen out of a universal joint in steering mechanism, each time the steering is turned either way there is play and a clunking noise, I don't know if it has caused any accidents or not but any defect in steering is something all drivers should be concerned about, as for myself I'm always concerned when driving knowing that something is missing from steering mechanism

The light eps, (electronic power steering) randomly turns on and my steering wheel would be stiff and I need to put great effort to turn. Sometimes I'll stop and turn off and on the car to remove the eps. Now on 10/11/2020 the eps light stays on. I might have a car that had a recall for 127. Its dangerous to have my car like this.

- Las Vegas, NV, USA

The eps light came on and is still on while driving. And they is a a gilding noise coming from the steering wheel like its loose, and sometimes making it difficult to turn.

Power steering just stopped working and ECU light came on.

- Joplin, MO, USA

I took my car in for service for recall 127 on 4/24/2020. The recall was to fix the steering failure. After the recall work was completed, my steering has gotten worse. It is hard to steer at highway speeds, gets in a stuck position going straight which requires effort to "unstick" and then you over steer. At slow speeds backing out and turning out of my carport the steering is way too tight, there is definitely something malfunctioning this is still an issue and another recall needs to issued. I contacted Hyundai and they didn't seem very concerned.

- Largo, FL, USA

Eps light randomly came on again and locked my steering which is dangerous while driving on the road and parking, can't move the steering left or right. Issue has occurred before around the initial eps recall, took it then to the same dealer (sport Hyundai Dodge) where car was originally purchased to update or patch up fix. Recently went to the dealer to also fix the ABS module recall and run a diagnostic on the eps. They stated it's the steering column that needed to be replaced. A $2100 repair, which they will file with the manufacture to see if it's covered. By reading these repeating complaints, something tells me that they will continue to ignore the problem till it's in harms way instead of preventing the safety issues. Currently had to give up working hours and in financial stress over a manufacturing problem that should have been addressed correctly in the beginning.

I have excess play in the steering wheel/bumping/clicking, when the engine is running. This causes a shimmy in the front end when braking. There have been no accidents or injuries so far. This seems to be a problem with the power steering. There is no excess play in the steering column when the engine is not running. There is excess play anytime the engine is running, the steering wheel will move several inches without moving the front wheels.

I'm having the same problem as hundreds of people have had the two dollar part with very high labor cost. There was a recall in 2015 problem was obviously miss diagnosis it is the steering coupling. It can cause a lost if control of the vehicle. I was a total case specialist for Kia Consumer Affairs the company should be taking car of a lot of issues that they tell customers it out of warranty or you missed a oil change so the warranty is void. I took several if the calls that vehicle caught fire. NHTSA you should be for consumers you hear the same complaint over and over from owners of Kia and Hyundai. Most of there cars are crap I got the same calls for the same issues over and over

It seems there are many others with this problem so I will keep it brief. My car has 150000 on it. There is a clicking in the steering wheel and the eps. The clicking happens when driving or parked. At all times. I went into a dealership and was told I need a new steering rack. The repair cost more than the car's value. I went in to have repairs for recalls in 2018. I'm wondering if they actually fixed it because the eps was one of the issues.
