The steering column is rattling especially when going over bumps or when turning the steering wheel from right to left in quick motion.

- Elk Grove, CA, USA

Mdps coupling on steering wheel becomes loose and affects the steering and causes vibration and a "clunking" noise, when in motion on an any road surface. This started as a minor issue with a very slight movement and then has exponentially gotten worse. Dealership says it is a common problem, but Hyundai will to take ownership of the defect.

When I hit any bumps while driving my Sonata, there is a loud rattling noise coming from the steering wheel/column. The steering wheeling also makes a clicking noise if you turn it while the car is stationary. This has all happened within the last several months. It is extremely annoying to deal with. This a 2011 model and I haven't had many problems with it other than this.

Engine failure/steering problems in July of 2015 I purchased the 2011 Hyundai Sonata from a drivetime dealership; starting mileage; 76,262. I only had the car about 2 months when the engine completely seized on the freeway in August of 2015. The recall 132 didnt come out until after I already had my car serviced by a 3rd party warranty and had to come out of pocket for 500 dollars. The cause was a complete engine failure at 77,498 miles. The engine was replaced in Sept of 2015. Next issue I started to have was my steering wheel suddenly started to make a loud knocking noise on about 10/2018 while driving over any uneven road or even the slightest bump. The steering wheel completely trembles if I go over 60mph and feels as though the steering wheel may come unattached. My wheels feel as though they are ready to fly off. Present day-my engine is now starting to show signs of seizure again. It starts to jolt unexpectedly and the engine makes a loud knocking noise randomly upon acceleration. The car is very very slow to accelerate and is inconsistent with power despite constant and documented oil changes/checks. I have made an appointment with my local Hyundai deal for the recall 132 for this is the 2nd time I am now needing to have this engine repaired.I was told that I would have to pay for a rental of 35/dollars a day if my engine does need to be replaced.

Warranty for the rubber coupling in the motor driven power steering (mdps). I setup an appointment to address two recalls and fix the issue of mdps. The dealer doesn't want to pay for mdps fix and told me that I have to pay for it. Car has about 74000 miles.

This is independent of campaign 10V426000 which involved "potential loss of steering ability". in 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, there have been numerous complaints involving the 2011 Hyundai Sonata in which the steering wheel shakes aggressively at speeds of 60+. in addition, there is a loud clicking sound that you can hear and feel when turning the corner or driving at speeds of 35+. while sitting idle, if the steering wheel is even slightly moved from left to right, you can hear and feel a knocking/clicking sound. When driving at speeds of 20+, any imperfection in the road or highway causes this "unsteadiness" in the steering wheel and the continued knocking noise. In all cases, it almost feels as if the steering wheel or the tires are going to detach from the car while driving. The car feels unsafe to drive in normal weather conditions and could be life threatening at high speeds or in adverse weather conditions. Given the vast number of complaints, I'm concerned that NHTSA has not taken action. Please find below the online complaints regarding this matter. This problem is likely impacting hundreds of thousands as not everyone will take the time to write a complaint. Given the past issues with a "steering issue' for the Hyundai Sonata 2011, your immediate attention in expeditiously identifying a possible life threatening problem would be greatly appreciated. Hyundai has been contacted by the public but has taken no action on their own Accord. I have attached examples of the complaints online concerning this issue. Thank you for your assistance and review. Https://www.carcomplaints.com/Hyundai/Sonata/2011/steering/shakes_wobbles_and_clicks.shtml.

In July of 2108 we took out Hyundai Sonata gls gas 2.4L to graham dealership in mansfield, oh for and engine replacement in recall. One of many recalls for this car. When we went to pick up the car I noticed the steering has become an issue. The problem was not there before the engine replacement. I went back to the dealership to tell them of the problem and they said they didnt cause it. Which the steering is under recall to add to the problem already. They refuse to fix the recall saying its too late. This recall is under the campaign 097 recall. What can I do to get this fixed before something happens such as an accident? I have filed a complaint online with Hyundai but have not heard back. Our car set at the dealership for 1 1/2 months to be fixed. As we also have brakes that went bad from sitting so long.

I bought a used 2011 Hyundai Sonata in March for my birthday, and about 3 months ago, the steering wheel started shaking violently any time I got to 60mph or higher. Upon further investigation, I found out I needed a new steering coupler. Before it got fixed, my dome lights, and all of the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel (trip, cruise control) stopped working. After being fixed, none of the above mentioned things work, but also now, my power locks, dash clock and horn stopped working. I almost got hit by another driver a few days ago, and didnt even have a horn to honk!

2011 Hyundai Sonata is having a power steering and steering column issues of which appear to be identical to the steering component(s) issues correspond to that described in recalls: 10V457000 and 16V190000. However, my 2011 Sonata, VIN: [xxx] and manufacture date of: April 27, 2011, does not fall within the stated manufacturer date(s) for recalls 10V457000 or 16V190000 although my vehicle is experiencing the exact same issues. In detail: The steering wheel feels loose/ sloppy while driving, especially on the highway, frequently when on the highway only the steering wheel will start to shake rapidly on and off randomly making a very uneasy and potentially unsafe drive for my self and other drivers. This issue does appear to be progressing. The steering column will also make a knocking-like noise when turning in either direction, at all speeds and when idling. This issue is also progressing.

Periodically the power steering will stop working. This happens on city streets and highways at slow speeds and posted speed limits. I know there has been a recall on some sonotas but dealer still refuses to remedy problem. There has been many incidents where there has almost been major accident due to loss of steering when operating vehicle. This is very life threatening and could result in loss of life or permanent injury. We have documented all occasions so actions can be taken if that occurs. Simply want it fixed to prevent such an incident. Maybe they did not get all vehicles listed on the first recall as we checked if ours was on it. However it seems to be happening to our model as well. Any help in this matter would greatly be appreciated as we would be devastated if an accident occurred injuring ourselves or other innocent people. Thank you for your consideration in this matter

The steering wheel has become lose. It is a steering wheel coupler, but Hyundai has expanded the warranty to 100,000 or 10 years. The Hyundai's have been having numerous problems with so called fixed recalls.
