Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I have owned 3 Hyundai azeras; a 2007, a 2013 and now a 2017. I never had any issues with the steering on my 2007 or 2013. The steering on my current vehicle locks as I am driving, mostly on the highway but has also happened at lower speeds and also in reverse. The steering doesn't respond when I try to make minor adjustments driving down the highway and feels as if it's locked in place. It will eventually give with a jerking motion. …”

NHTSA complaint #11301774, filed 2020-01, 5,000 miles

“During our first trip on the interstate I noticed that when trying to correct the steering, either right or left, the car would not immediately respond. Then after just a second or two something would break loose allowing the vehicle to respond to my request. I.e. Turn left or right! It's as if their is something stopping it from responding until I apply more pressure to my pull. I immediately took it to the dealer, and was told that is the electronic steering mechanism and that that is normal, and there is no reason to be alarmed. …”

NHTSA complaint #11288053, filed 2019-12, 7,100 miles

“I've owned my 2017 Azera since dec 2018. I love the vehicle but the steering sticks as mentioned in other complaints at high speeds. The vehicle currently only has 38k miles and I use it for the most part on the highway. This seems to only happen at speeds over 55mph. You have to give the steering a slight jerk to get it to go back. Doesn't matter if it's right or left. This past week it would not move and I jerked it so much I thought I was going to come off the roadway. I understand different forums state it might be an electronic steering issue or something with a coupler, etc. …”

“Airbag light comes on intermittently while driving. Steering locks as the car is driven at highway speeds and requires force to adjust. It presents a challenge when staying in a lane and need to do slight adjustments to stay in lane. Took it to a dealer about a year ago and they could not duplicate the issue.”
