STEERING
RUBBER COUPLING FAILURE IN THE MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING (MDPS) ASSEMBLY A $2 PART WITH A $350 LABOR BILL. SAFETY INSPECTION STATION SAYS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH MAY RESULT IN FAILURE TO PASS INSPECTION. HYUNDAI NEVERTHELESS MAINTAINS THAT IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE (IN AN OBVIOUS ATTEMPT TO PREVENT A RECALL). THE PART HAS FAILED JUST BEYOND WARRANTY COVERAGE. I'M SOLICITING GUIDANCE ON HOW TO COVER REPAIR COSTS FOR A POORLY DESIGNED PART THAT SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL AND COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER. MANUFACTURER'S LINK TO PROBLEM: HTTPS://AUTOSERVICE.HYUNDAIUSA.COM/TXX7/MICROSITETEMPLATE/MICROSITETEMPLATEVINVALIDATE/2688

STEERING
THEY RECALLED EPS IN 2015 AND I WASN'T NOTIFIED. NOW THEY TOLD ME IT WAS STEERING COLUMN PROBLEM AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME OVER $2000 FOR THIS. THE DEALER WON'T EVEN USE THE EXISTING EXTENDED WARRANTY TO FIX MY CAR. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS VERY ANNOYING.

STEERING
2010 ELANTRA HAS 37,000 MILES. I'VE HAD THREE EPISODES (ONE WITH MY 16 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER DRIVING) WHERE THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED ON CITY STREET. NO PRIOR INCIDENT KNOWN TO CREATE THE CONDITION. THUS FAR, ONLY WAY TO FIX PROBLEM IS TO TURN CAR OFF AND RESTART. NOT VERY SAFE. LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I HAD STRUGGLE TO DRIVE THE CAR INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT TO SAFELY TURN IT OFF AND RESTART.

STEERING
IN 2016 I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR "STICKY" STEERING, IN WHICH THE DEALER REPLACED BUSHINGS IN THE STEERING COLUMN. ON 5/19/2018, WHILE DRIVING FORWARD AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND MY EPS LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON BUT IT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. AFTER HAVING A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT, WAS INFORMED THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE IT BECAUSE HYUNDAI HAS PROPRIETARY CODES ON THEIR EPS AND ABS SYSTEMS THAT DOESN'T ALLOW THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, FORCING ME TO HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOT HAVING THE FUNDS TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED 20 MILES TO THE NEAREST DEALER, I DROVE MY CAR WITH NO POWER STEERING TO THE DEALER. THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MY CAR HAS 84,000 MILES AND NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. THEY CAN NOT TELL ME THE REASON THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN HAS TO BE REPLACED BUT THAT IT DOES AT MY COST OF $2,500! I FOUND THE RECALL OF THE EPS BUT THAT IS ONLY REPAIRED WITH A PART, NOT THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE FOUND ONLINE HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH LOW MILEAGE ELENTRAS HAVING TO HAVE THEIR ENTIRE STEERING COLUMNS REPLACED AT THEIR COST. HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT PUTTING THEIR CUSTOMERS IN DANGER.

STEERING
ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING GETS DISABLED WHILE DRIVING AND STEERING BECOMES VERY HARD WHEN IT HAPPENS. IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES RECENTLY AND CONCERNED WITH THE SAFELY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V100000... BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT LISTED AS THE AFFECTED VEHICLE. IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE ISSUE IS ALSO RELATED TO THE RECALL. NEED YOUR HELP TO RESOLVE THE SAME.

STEERING
A THUD IS BEING MADE THAT STARTS WHEN STEERING AND CONTINUES THROUGH THE DRIVE. IT STARTED BEFORE 100K AND HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP DIDN'T KNOW CAUSE. NOW, HYUNDAI ADMITS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DISTENGRATING STEERING COUPLING RUBBER AND HAVE CAMPAIGN TXX7 YET BECAUSE MY CAR IS NOW OVER 100K (MY CAR IS CURRENTLY 118K AND LESS THAN 8 YEARS OLD (I'M ONLY OWNER) AND I DISCOVERED IT BEFORE 100K), THEY WON'T STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. I NEED HELP PLEASE WHY HYUNDAI FIXES MY ISSUE.

STEERING
20 JANUARY 2018- TODAY THE EPS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IN MY CAR WHILE DRIVING. STEERING IS OKAY FOR NOW, BUT HAS BEEN CLUNKING OFF AND ON FOR SOME TIME. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A COUPLER WEARING BUT NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. MY CAR MANUFACTURE DATE IS MAY 07 2010. MAY 04 2015 I HAD 60000 SERVICE DONE. CAMPAIGN931 WAS PERFORMED AS EPS S/W CHECK AND ECU UPGRADE ONLY. MY MANUFACTURE DATE IS ONE WEEK OLDER THAN THE LAST MANUFACTURE DATE ON THE RECALL. DID THE DATE RANGE EXPAND? IS MY VEHICLE INCLUDED IN A LARGER COUNT? AM I ELIGIBLE FOR A REPLACEMENT?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MY TRANSMISSION SLIPS. THERE ARE AN ALARMING AMOUNT OF ONLINE FORUMS SHOWING THIS IS AN ALL TOO COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I AM ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH 3 OUT OF THE 4 POWER WINDOWS. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE AMOTHER DEFAULT IN THIS MODEL CAR BECAUSE THERE WERE ALSO PLENTY OF OTHERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. ALL 3 WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. THE MECHANIC TRIED REPLACING THE MOTOR AND OTHER INTERNAL PARTS BUT IT STILL WILL NOT WORK. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE CAR CREAKS WHEN YOU GO AT A SLOW SPEED OR OVER A HUMP. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO MAKES A CLICKING OR KNOCKING SOUND WHEN STEERING IT AND WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT IT MAKES A CREAKING NOISE. WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THE CAR, IT SEEMS THAT IT CREAKS ONCE THE WEIGHT IS LIFTED. THE CREAKING IS EITHER WHEN STATIONARY OR WHEN GOING AT A LOW SPEED OVER HUMPS AND WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL. WHEN DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED OR DOING THE SPEED LIMIT, YOU DON'T HEAR THE CREAKING, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL STILL KNOCKS. AND WHEN PUTTING ON BRAKES AFTER NORMAL SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL KNOCKS BADLY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. FILED A REPORT ON THE SUSPENSION, STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS REPORT IS SOMETHING I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT UNTIL I SAW OTHERS WERE HAVING THESE TWO ISSUES. 1. WHEN YOU TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, IT STILL DINGS AND THE DOORS WON'T LOCK. I AM ASSUMING IT STILL THINK THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION. YOU HAVE TO PUT THE KEY BACK IN AND TAKE IT OUT AGAIN TO GET THE DINGING TO STOP. 2. I HAVE TWO CIGARETTE LIGHTER RECEPTACLES (NOW KNOWN AS 12V ACCESSORY SOCKETS). CANNOT USE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME AS IT CAUSES THE TPMS LIGHT TO COME ON. A FEW SECONDS AFTER ONE OF THE RECEPTACLES HAVE BEEN EMPTIED THE TPMS LIGHT GOES OUT. THE FIRST ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE PARKED AND THE SECOND ISSUES HAPPENS WHETHER PARKED OR DRIVING . . . MOSTLY WHEN DRIVING.

"TAKATA RECALL" TODAY 9/25/17, I TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC BECAUSE THE HORN DOES NOT WORK. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PAD IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHERE THE AIRBAG IS.
