I've found a lot of information about this same issue across the Web. I agree that this should be a recall issue for Hyundai. I have owned several cars and driven more than one far past 100,000 miles with no steering issues. (GMC, Ford, Honda, Nissan) Hyundai should replace this coupling with a higher quality rubber. There is a recall involving the airbag and seat belt tensioners. While your in there... replace the damn coupling!

I thought the rattling I was hearing was from the wheel. My mechanic checked it out yesterday and advised it was the steering column that was rattling.

Sonata Hybrid Premium

Steering wheel is clanking and rattling a lot. It's very loud and clanks with every slight turn of the steering wheel and even worse when I hit a bump in the road.

Sonata Hybrid V4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 82,400 miles

there is a clunk in my stering wheel and a rattle

Apparently the coupler in the steering column is an issue with the 2012 Hyundai Sonata according to Hyundai service. I would certainly think that if Hyundai knows this is a problem they would have an extended warranty or recall for this coupler replacement.
