The steering column pops every time I make a turn, whether a sharp turn or mild. I can be parked and turn the steering wheel and it pops. There seems to be looseness in the steering.

The car has a failing steering coupler just as other models of Hyundai have and they claim the problem is known but nothing can be done to to no recall. It is no different than other models that were recalled.

I own a 2012 Hyundai Veloster twd. My sunroof just exploded out of no-where and I called Hyundai and they told me that there is no recall on this issue. In addition, I need to replace a steering bushing and it is not covered in any recall and I am reading on the internet that this item has been repaired. Great car, but no accountability by this organization to fix their engineers issues.
There is a clicking in the steering column. Every time I drive the car and turn the wheel it clicks and jerks. Even when your standing still, if you turn the wheel back and fourth. When on highway it vibrates and steering jerks. Took to a mechanic it will cost $500 to repair. They said it was a plastic fuller in the steering column that needs to be replaced.
I have 16,809 miles on the car I noticed steering was becoming clunky took it to the dealer and it was a coupler worn out. The dealer had it in stock and they never have anything in stock said it is usually under warranty when this happens. Well, I have low miles and for a $2.14 part the labor brought it up to $488.68. It seems to be a recurring problem and most cars at my mileage are still under warranty..
Steering wheel clicks and vibrates during turns & lane changes. This issue is highly dangerous & has probably caused wrecks. I believe that the issue is in the plastic parts used. The suspension & struts are in need of replacement car is 5 years old, bought new off show room floor 2/14.2013. Car has 80000 miles and is on the second set of low profile tires. I follow the maintenance guide in the manual.
Steering coupler has disintegrated (this has already been recalled for the sonata, but no recall yet for Velosters). Clicking when turning steering wheel (anytime, car is on or off, in motion or stationary).
The steering wheel clicks when you move in any direction. It happens while driving as well as when sitting still. This is a known problem with the elantra and sonata. Please refer to case numbers: For the elantra ' NHTSA id number: 11085127 and sonata NHTSA id number: 11101809 and NHTSA id number: 11093962.
When driving under any road conditions and at speeds from 15 to 65, the car seems to track to the left or right of center but does not want to track straight ahead. When trying to turn the wheel to correct this, there is a lot of resistance, which forces the driver to over-correct and at times nearly lose control. At times the wheel also tries to turn on its own (quick slight jerks to the left or right) and can be very difficult to maintain complete control. This is especially bad under icy conditions and could easily send the car into a spin. I have had the wheel aligned and tires checked and no mechanical issues have been found. I also took the car to a dealer for this issue and even though I made it clear this happens on dry roads, the claim they could not reproduce the issue and suggested replacing my tires with snow tires. This obviously has nothing to do with the issue when the roads are dry. I have also seen several other reports of this on several web sites and they are describing exactly the same things that I am seeing. I would like to know how this issue can be escalated and resolved before this causes an accident.
I was driving on highway, steering wheel seems to be sticking, takes effort to keep straight on road.it seems like the steering wheel has a sticky spot in center it's been getting worse, took to dealer they say they can't duplicate the problem but as soon as I left it came right back, there is a problem but they say its because I have to get used to electric assist steering, I've driven other cars with same assist but never had this problem it now does this at any speed over 20 mph.
