I am appalled at the conditions I've had to endure with my Sonata. I've never seen or owned a more unsafe vehicle. My steering column broke, the engine was replaced twice, I've dealt with electrical problems, now it's involved in the airbag failure recall and I've needed to take my car in due to the 13 recalls. My Sonata is one of the first made. It's from the Alabama plant. I would like to hear why the NHTSA has not made Hyundai buy these vehicles back? I don't have the option of just going out and buying a new vehicle. I've raised my granddaughters and am now afraid to take them anywhere in my car. I'm begging that you make Hyundai get these cars off the road. It sickens me to know I've owned several Hyundai's. given them my trust and dedication to only feel they've turned their backs on me and the safety of my family. I'd really like to be contacted. I have records of all my work done. The only thing I could not get was receipts for warranty items they determined I didn't need receipts for. Even after I complained and demanded them. My vehicle was purchased and serviced at superior Hyundai North in fairfield oh. I have so many records, even recordings, that I can't possibly upload them all on here.

When I was driving on a city street I lost all power steering and eps light and traction light came on. I pulled over and tried restarting car still no power steering and lights. The car can only be steered manually now which is not safe.

- Graniteville, SC, USA

I purchased this car used & I purchased a used car warranty from the dealer because it already had more than 100,000 miles on it & had to get my engine replaced before driving 3000 miles. But not long after getting it back, my steering was making a clicking, knocking noise while being still & while in motion & it doesn't fill safe. Prior to replacing the engine, it was not making this noise. I bought it used already over 100,00 miles & it's in getting 3 recalls repaired & I was told that it's not covered under Hyundai warranty or recall & will cost me over $400 like others & I can't afford $400+. this should be covered under a recall especially after the # of complaints I've seen on this. It sounds & feels like my steering wheel may come off while turning, going over bumps, on a street, on a highway, while driving, it doesn't matter & again, it clicks/knocks even when I turn the steering wheel just sitting. I have a video that captures the sound when not in motion. It started in April 2018, not long after I got my engine replaced in March 2018. That's when I looked up the recalls before making the appointment & learned about the steering, air bags & seatbelts. Since I can't afford it because I'm retired disabled I'm going to have to drive feeling unsafe until you decide recalling this steering wheel infraction. There are thousands of complaints about the exact same thing who are also wondering why this was not part of the recall. This needs to be a recall like yesterday. I'm uploading the estimate I received from the Hyundai that did my recalls. And would like to know why this isn't a recall. Thank you.

When car reaches over 65 mph or hits a bump, there is a horrible ticking noise with the steering wheel. The steering wheel shakes uncontrollably when the car reaches high speeds. A few other people I know with Hyundai Sonata's have the exact same problem. A few months after I got the car in June with 83,000 miles on it, thats when the ticking noise started. Its the worst sound ever.

On 10/24/2017, I took my car to the dealership regarding some recall issues, amongst which was the issue of the car making clicking noise as the car turns. After the car was delivered to me, and driving it, I noticed that the issue was unresolved. I made this known to the dealership and there was no response from them. I did report this to Hyundai usa. It's been several months now, but have not heard from them regarding the complaints. I have been notified of other recall issues since then, but not sure how to go about them, as the first issue remains unresolved.

The steering column on my 2011 Sonata started making terrible noises due to a known issue with the steering shaft. Even though there is a formal NHTSA investigation NHTSA action number: PE10035) and recall (NHTSA recall no. 10V-426), the dealer (https://www.hyundaiofchantilly.com/service_appointment_form.cfm) told me that I have to pay over $400 dollars to fix the $2 part that is causing this hazardous issue. I include a link to an article that describes the hazards created by this issue: Https://www.aboutlawsuits.com/Hyundai-Sonata-recall-steering-problems-13090/. how can Hyundai sell such defective cars and then expect consumers to pay for the work to repair parts affected by recalls?

Steering wheel making a cracking noise when turning or hitting a bump. Also driver side rear parking and brake light wiring is loose. This is happening on both my daughter's 2011 Hyundai Sonatas right now.

The power steering for my 2011 Sonata failed randomly one day. Driving to the supermarket was fine but when leaving the store the power steering wasn't functioning so the car was very difficult to steer. There's a recall for the issue but my VIN wasn't part of the vehicles they claim wasn't effected.

The steering wheel clicks with a two inch play in either direction when the vehicle is stationary or in motion. The click is very loud plus the vehicle shimmies while being driven ! when the steering wheel is clicking a catch in the wheel can be felt! Hyundai dealer service man said the problem was a flexible rubber steering coupler and it was wore out down in the steering shaft. Hyundai customer relations dept. Told me the warranty on that part was extended to 100,000 miles but no notice was sent to the vehicles owner. I had to pay for the repair because my vehicle had 111,000 mile on it. I believe it is a critical safety issue that could cause a steering failure, based the degree my steering wheel was clicking and the two inch play that I was experiencing! the Hyundai complaint site is full of persons complaining about the same steering issue. During my many contacts with the Hyundai customer relations dept. I was told repeatedly that Hyundai does not recognize this as a safety threat. I believe this should have been a recall at Hyundai's expense ! I also believe there are individuals driving with this dangerous condition because they cannot afford the expensive repair (+$400 ) that the dealer charges.

For the last few months, my steering column shakes and rattles anytime it goes over 60 mph. I had a tire repair at a local shop and the guy suggested I may need an alignment but because they told me at the last minute of picking my car up at their closing hours and having to go to work, I waited to get it looked at. I took it to a local Hyundai dealer for one recall campaign and asked them to assess the issue with my steering wheel rattling and mentioned the guy at the other place mentioned an alignment.the guy dismissed the car symptoms I described and said the noise was from the bottom spoiler hanging. It wasn't assessed and I took it to a Goodyear affiliate and they needed more time to assess why it was the steering but were able to tell me in fact that it was potentially loose. Between October 2017 and Jan 2018 is how long people have been looking at it with no assistance

- Detroit, MI, USA

While driving the vehicle, it goes to the left and the right. I have had alignments done and being told by mechanics that the alignment is okay. I have spent more money on repairing it and it still drives the same. I have read online many complaints about the power steering. I'm concerned of how much more money I have to spend, if it will even fix the problem. From what I have read online their has to be a defect! I purchased this vehicle September, 2015.
