2014 Hyundai Santa FE Suspension Problems

“While driving up a steep winding road my car began making a fluttering noise like a paddleboat. There was a lot of play in the steering wheel with a small squeak to only the left, in the play of the steering wheel. The dealership has let me know I need to replace the steering shaft. What actually makes the steering shaft go out, isn't that a component that has a long life? The noise was more intense driving up the road than going down. As reached a city level the drumming noise was still happening, but inconsistent.”

“Car wonders when traveling on freeway going at freeway speeds. Correcting for this darting from side to side seems scary at these speeds. Changing the driving mode selection on the steering wheel doesn't change the problem. I still experience the same wondering and darting that I am constantly trying to correct. Thought it might be tires but they are new and no signs of unusual wear. Acts like a worn ball joint or tie rod or the need for an alignment.”

“While driving on the highway, starting around 55mph, the car starts getting wobbly on the road. It is a constant struggle with the steering wheel to keep the car going straight. If there is any wind or driving by trucks, the car becomes even more difficult to control. I have seen many others having the same issue and there does not appear to be a fix, however dealer attempts seem to even worsen the issue with others, so I have yet to address this with the dealer. I do worry when my wife drives the car because she is not used to it, and has ' thrown' her into the breakdown lane several times. …”

“Drove new 2014 Santa Fe sport 2.0t for the first time on the highway after buying it 3 days earlier. The vehicle would not maintain a straight path while driving at highway speed. Sf required continuous correction at a varying degree. It is not only that the vehicle wonders, but it does so mildly and aggressively. The vehicle tends to sway and rock all while trying to correct for the continuous wondering. It's a very odd sensation that occurs, just when you think you might go straight for a bit the vehicle will dart to one side and it has no rhythm or reason. …”

“The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe. While driving 75 MPH, the contact noted a strong vibration throughout the vehicle. The vehicle also began independently pulling to the side. The dealer stated that the tires were properly aligned and the vehicle was functioning as designed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.”
