Car was 2 months beyond 10 year limit. Has been a problem for 2+ years but this year it failed inspection because of it. Had they notified me of the issue and symptoms, it would have been able to be fixed under their extended warranty. $420 dollars for less than 2 hours time and a $1.27 part. Outrageous.

This should have been recalled as it is a safety issue and I should have been notified of it. They are hiding it under

this other thing in hopes that they can charge folks to repair their defect in design.

My 2013 Sonata has always had issues with the steering feeling like I’m swerving. Steering wheel clicks, and it's just recently gotten bad. It shakes when I hit a small hole or go over the railroad tracks. Now it has shook 3 times after I get 70 mph or higher. I called to check if it had a recall, I thought I saw it online and they said no. They knew exactly what I’m talking about and the cost would be $250. This seems to be quite a serious and dangerous issue that needs to be a recall before people start dying from accidents due this steering issue!!!

For those that are having problems with the steering coupler on the 2013 Sonata, last week I called to complain about my steering and I started a complaint with Hyundai. The very next day, Hyundai put out a recall/extended warranty on the steering coupler. I found this out when I brought my car in this morning to have it repaired at Kendall Hyundai in Miami-Dade county. They were surprised that right after my conversation with them, they received the warranty extension up to 100,000 miles. The cost to replace the part would have been $380 here in Miami according to the service department.

The Sonata that I have only 3 years old and I keep it very well maintained and serviced. It started making a clicking sound as I would turn the wheel, so I got nervous because it is in the steering. I went to the dealership and had it checked out and the finding was the steering coupler, which was not covered under the warranty and will cost over $500 to fix. As time goes by, it has become louder. I think that an issue of this nature should not be happening to a car that is not very old and it sounds like it is happening frequently to other consumers as well. I think I will go back to American made vehicles.

This problem started as being barely noticeable before 60,000 miles. Actually only my wife complained about it, and I did not report it at the time. My mistake, as it was under warranty, but I have had it serviced as required by the warranty, and the service department did not apparently notice it either. Of course, it has gotten much worse, and now I have 73,000 miles. I am sure it's the infamous plastic part that many people have referred to on the net plus a few hundred dollars in labor. How is a common steering part failure not a recalled item. If I were to never fix it, I am sure we would eventually totally lose steering and run headlong into a Mack truck. I will be taking it in for repair and will update this post later. Otherwise, I love my Sonata (so far).

At just 300 miles over warranty no one wanted to work with me. $400 to replace a part that cost app $2.00 is crazy. If I could do this I would do it all day long. On top of all this I find out that it is a real problem with HYUNDAI and KIA. Why is there no recall. I would love to be reimbursed for the money that I put out to repair someone else problems.

HYUNDAI should be forced to fit this problem at there cost not mine. I was told that if the coupler were to brake completely, at any speed , you would lose total steering, I would imagine this could lead to injury and possible DEATH. Problems like this need to consider a lack of concern, verses making a profit or bodily injury. Fix the dam problem, make Hyundai accountable. FIX IT or take the piece of junk out of the USA. VW was made accountable, maybe a nice big fine is needed here.
