Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When I drove my wife's car yesterday, I noticed with the engine running that when you turn the steering wheel left or right, it clunked both times. This happened either stopped or when you were driving. This was not just annoying but also frightening and I am concerned that there is an issue with the steering failing. Online research has indicated that this is not an unusual problem with both Hyundai and kia vehicles.”
NHTSA complaint #11352593, filed 2020-09, 38,000 miles“The vehicle wanders at highway speeds. It is not suitable for highway driving as it is very fatiguing to drive any distance on the highway. I am constantly fighting with the steering to stay in my lane. Most of my driving is on the highway and this problem is very much a safety concern.”
NHTSA complaint #10587653, filed 2014-05, 400 miles“Steering wander . The vehicle does not drive straight without correction by driver. Steering does not self-center/return to center . Most vehicles have a center spot on their steering gear that allows the vehicle to comfortably steer in a straight line, especially when returning from a lane change to turn. Does not drive straight. As an overall, the vehicle requires constant correction by the driver to keep the vehicle going in a straight line.”
NHTSA complaint #10595953, filed 2014-06, 990 miles“A few months ago the steering wheel of my car started to make noise like clicking at first but now it’s worst like clunk everytime there is irregularities in the road and I am afraid to drive it due to the thought that suddenly it become unable to steer it.”
NHTSA complaint #11548821, filed 2023-10“While driving, the steering became suddenly loose and nearly took me off the road. I was able to get the vehicle the short distance home, but the steering wheel now feels broken and detached. There was no warning. The passenger airbag light stays on all the time. I have found that both issues and parts are actually covered in other years, but not mine, which I have confirmed with a local dealer. With only 68800 miles, these should both be fully covered manufacturer repair since they are safety-related and there are numerous similar reports. …”
