2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring Steering Problems

“In my steering wheel it makes a clunking noise. I brought it into a service station and they told me it needed a flexible coupling gromt. I didn't do this it is all the way down in the steering column. They told me it should be a recall because it is nothing I did. It does the noise when I am sitting still. If you turn the wheel it sounds like it is catching on something.”

“Power steering stopped working. I had sqeaking noises when turning the wheel.also shimmering over slightest bumps. Dealer estimate for new steering columns was about $2000.00 . I was pulling out of a parking space when it froze. After I tuned of the car it worked. However I have read many complaints that this problem continues under normal driving conditions including highways. I feel the manufacturer should be responsible for this problem.”

“Failure of electric power steering assist. The loss of power steering assist occur unexpectedly when I was driving. I noticed a heavy steering wheel feel. The electronic power steering (eps) electronic control unit (ecu) sense a discrepancy in the steering input signals and disable the steering power assist. The light turned on. The power steering assist is lost, greater effort be required for me, while I drive, to steer the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.”

“I have a 2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring with 16,605 miles. It has had steering problems that have been fixed by the dealership at no cost to me twice before. However now it needs another steering repair and the parts alone cost me $1,446.89 and labor will be an additional $300. The part is coming from korea and may take one to two months to get to the dealership. In the mean time I have no car to do my errands. I am asking for reimbursement and restitution for myself and a guarantee that this steering problem will not reoccur .”

“First time the incident occurred, driving in traffic at about 20mph, slowing down at a traffic light, power steering went out and the ESC light came on. I had to stop the car and restart it in the middle of traffic to regain power steering. The car was taken to the dealership the following day. I was told the power steering needed an update . After the update the same thing happened a few days later while accelerating onto the highway. …”
