STEERING WHEEL HAS CLUNKING NOISE AND STEERING IS LOOSE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, JUST LIKE ALL OF THE OTHERS ON THIS SITE. POWER STEERING COUPLER IS BAD, AS IDENTIFIED BY FIRESTONE AND HYUNDAI DEALER. HYUNDAI WILL NOT REPLACE IT AS IT WAS NOT PART OF THE SONATA AND ELANTRA RECALL FOR THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM.

OWNER AND INSPECTION MECHANIC NOTICED AND OBSERVED STEERING WHEEL CLUNKING AND BANGING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. KNOWN PROBLEM WITH SIMILAR MODELS AND USE THE SAME PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE! 2012 HYUNDAI AZERA STEERING COUPLER IS FAULTY AND NEEDED REPLACED PER HYUNDAI DEALER AND WOULD COST US $282.00 PLUS TAX. THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE PART WHICH IS AROUND $10.00 BUT WANT A LOT OF MONEY FOR LABOR. THANKFULLY WE HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT WE STILL SHOULD HAVE NOT HAD TO PAY FOR A FAULTY PART. ITS HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER HYUNDAI MODELS THAT USE THE SAME PART. CAR WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE FEELING THE BANGING WHILE DRIVING AND AT A STOP. HAD CAR REPAIRED AND..WOW NO MORE BANGING..VIBRATIONS.

CLINKING AND CLANKING NOISE IN THE STEERING. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM REPORTED BY OTHERS. SONATA AND ELANTRA HAD A RECALL TO REPLACE THE PART BUT IT WAS NOT RECALLED FOR AZERA. PROBABLY BECAUSE NOT AS MANY AZERA'S HAVE BEEN SOLD; BUT UNFAIR THAT WE ALSO HAVE THE PROBLEM AND HYUNDAI WILL NOT FIX IT. THE NOISE HAPPENS WHEN MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL, WHEN A BUMP IS HIT WHILE DRIVING. SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO HAPPENS AT DETAIN SPEEDS WHILE DRIVING.

STEERING HAS DEVELOPED DELAY BEFORE ENGAGING TURNING MECHANISM. HYUNDAI HAS ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE SAME STEERING PROBLEM FOR CERTAIN ELANTRAS AND SONATAS. THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE REMAINS FOR THE 2012 AZERA. IT IS MY OPINION THAT HYUNDAI SHOULD RECALL AND REPAIR AZERAS AS WELL.
