I have already reported my problem regarding the recall #107096 for suspension front spring coil. NHTSA campaign id 15V629000; date: Oct. 7, 2015 if a front coil spring fractures, it may contact the tire, possibly puncturing it, increasing the risk of a crash...and wanted to update since I have since contacted Hyundai. This was their reply: Campaigns and recalls are VIN specific, therefore, your 2011 Elantra may have been produced in the same time period as the affected vehicles but at a different factory. Not all Elantra's for this time period were recalled. Only the affected VIN's. my vehicle was manufactured during the affected dates, but they are apparently only VIN specific. My concern is that I had the same problem and the coil spring fractured...if others outside the VIN specific are also experiencing the problem maybe they need to expand the recall for this potentially deadly problems and would like to warn others to get this checked even though Hyundai will not cover the problem.

While driving and applying pressure to steering wheel, the steering wheel makes a clicking noise and attempts to make steering corrections, possibly due ot the electronic power steering. Manufacturer says it's not a safety issue, but makes driving a hazard.

I have been back and fourth with Hyundai about the steering. They have claimed to fix the recall but my car is not safe to drive. The steering wheel clicks as I try to drive and I was told in June of 2019 during my state inspection it was taken care off.I recently got my brakes changed and the people serviced my car agreed it had not been fixed and in fact is dangerous.

Fall 2018 - loud brushing noise when I turn the steering wheel right or left. Mechanic told me to take it to Hyundai to fix the clock spring. Did but the sound returned within 3 weeks. Lived with it because it wasn't as loud as before. Almost two months ago the loud sound returned. Took it back to Hyundai who said that the entire steering column needs to be replaced. Did not trust Hyundai. Took it to my mechanic who says that there is a damaged bearing in the column. Because I do not want to take a chance on guessing if the correct bearing has been found and the steering wheel motor may or may not also be compromised, I am allowing my mechanic to replace the steering column. The estimated cost is $1600. Fyi the sound is loudest when I am backing out of a parking space and turning the steering column. Also when I am turning in to a parking space. It can also be heard when the car is making turns when on the road. There is a slight give to the steering wheel when driving but it is manageable. The steering wheel also will not lock.

While steering or making turns there is a popping sound in the steering column and a hesitation

Was informed that there is a known steering coupler issue that is covered under an extended warranty up to 100,000 miles. Unfortunately my vehicle exceeds that range and will have to pay out of pocket for said repairs. My concern is the safety aspect of this affecting my model in general, not just the mileage.

Car stalls while in motion and coming to stops. Engine sounds like a diesel truck and also has a ticking noise. Constantly having to replace the headlight bulbs front and back. Also have issues with steering wheel making a winding noise when turning the wheel. My tire pressure light never goes off even when air is put in or all new tires are put on. Also constantly having issues driver side up front tire issues. Had new brakes done and shortly after there making noises again. I always have Hyundai do my work on my car except I do however go to walmart to get my tires. I have had this car for about 3 years and constantly have had issues with it. I will never ever buy another Hyundai again.

'takata recall' (1) suspension problem.. it drifts or bounces to one side when I hit a bump or when I go into a pothole... I have had to take it to different auto mechanics to fix this but haven't gotten any solution.. changed sway bar links, tie-rods, struts and ball joints, still no improvement. (2) steering issues - steering feels stiff when turning and sometimes makes funny sounds (3) clunking noise in front right side of car
