“Loud clunking noise in steering and vibration when at highway speeds, took to repair shop and seen steering coupling needs to be replaced. After reseraching online I see that this is a very common complaint and should be recalled. My sonata had the same issue but was recalled and repaired. Clunking happens when driving or still and, sounds like metal loose in the column.”
NHTSA complaint #11258828, filed 2019-09, 115,000 miles“The coupling is broken and I don't even have 60,000 miles on the vehicle. The steering rattles and shakes while driving at any speed and is dangerous if not fixed. Hyundai has recalled other coupling systems but none on the Azera. I have owned cars with over 100,000 miles and have never experienced this error.”
NHTSA complaint #11251881, filed 2019-08, 64,455 miles“The streeing wheel started clicking and or sticking a few months ago while turning. The clicking/sticking has progressively gotten worse and the steering wheel feels loose and unsecured. When driving on uneven roads the steering wheel rattles loudly and shakes constantly. I feel as I do not have any control of my vehicle at times and have to adjust contstantly when turning or driving over uneven roads.”
