2010 Hyundai Elantra Steering

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING ASSIST FAILED AND CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO SEIZE WHEN TURNED IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE DEALER (MURFREESBORO HYUNDAI, 2203 NW BROAD ST, MURFREESBORO, TN 37129, 1-615-713-1532) WAS NOTIFIED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V100000 (STEERING) ALTHOUGH THE FAILURE WAS IDENTICAL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

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?

I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL BACK ABOUT THE TIME I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2016 THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART OF MY CAR. I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH THE EPS LIGHT COMING ON. THIS STARTED 4 DAYS AGO. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.

WITH ONLY 44, 434 MILES ON THE CAR, THE STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED. WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED EXTREME PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND A NOISE WHEN IT REACHED THE END OF A FULL TURN; MY MECHANIC EXAMINED IT AND FOUND A COUPLING IN THE COLUMN WAS BROKEN AND LUBRICANT WAS OOZING OUT. HE REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN.

RECALL STEERING IS CLICKING AND CONTROL OF CAR IS HARD DURING LOW SPEED AND HIGH SPEED

APPARENTLY, THERE WAS A RECALL ON HYUNDAI CARS AND I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. I BOUGHT MY HYUNDAI ELANTRA 2010 IN DECEMBER 2014. THE RECALL WAS PUT OUT IN FEB 2015. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ,MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SERVICING AND NO ONE HAS EVER TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS EVER A RECALL ON HYUNDAI MODELS. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM FAYETTEVILLE NC WHEN I WAS STATIONED AT FORT BRAGG. I AM NOW IN GERMANY. THE EPS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED GETTING ALL WOBBLY. I TOOK IT TO 2 GERMAN SHOPS AND I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. SO I TOOK IT IN. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON HYUNDAIS BUT I MISS THE DEADLINE AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY AROUND 4000 EUROS TO GET IT FIXED. SO IS THERE A WAY AROUND THIS SITUATION? I WASN'T NOTIFIED. NOBODY NOTIFIED ME. IS THERE A WAY TO GET AROUND THIS OR GET MY MONEY BACK?. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP HERE IN KAISERSLAUTERN GERMANY. THE SHOP ORDERED THE PARTS AND WAITING FOR IT TO ARRIVE SO THEY CAN START WORKING ON THE CAR.

EPS LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND POWER STEERING WAS LOST. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS CORRECTED BY TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING IT. IT OCCURRED DRIVING ON INTERSTATES AND DURING LOCAL DRIVING FOR SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE TAKING IT TO A DEALER. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CAMELBACK HYUNDAI, PHOENIX, AZ FOR EVALUATION. WRITE UP FROM DEALER SUMMARIZED: EPS LIGHT IS ON, CODE C1290 TORQUE SENSOR MAIN SIGNAL FAULT WAS DISCOVERED. DTC FOUND, EPS C1290 TORQUE SENSOR MAIN SIGNAL FAULT. SEARCH FOR TSB AND FOUND TSB 12 ST 001, ATTEMPTED EPS REFLASH AND FOUND THAT IT IS NOT APPLICABLE TO VEHICLE DUE TO ECU FOR THE MDPS ID DIFFERENT. CURRENT ROM ID #4HDASH02. TECHLINE CASE # 2017051202870. PER DIAGRAM FLOW CHART THE TORQUE SENSOR IS INSIDE THE MDPS/COLUMN. HIGH RESISTANCE INSIDE THE TORQUE SENSOR WHICH IS BUILT IN INSIDE THE MDPS COLUMN. REPLACED MDPS COLUMN AND PERFORMED CALIBRATION. RECHECK FOR CODES AND NO OTHER DTC FOUND? DEALER CONTACTED HYUNDAI ABOUT REPLACING THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT WAS APPROVED. NOT SURE IF THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BASED ON THE DEALER NEEDING TO CALL FOR APPROVAL.

TOOK MY 2010 TO DEALERS FOR CLUNKING NOISE EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE 2 WEEKS LATER THE EPS LIGHT TURNED ON THEY WON'T LOOK AT IT UNLESS I PAY 150 FOR DIAGNOSIS PRIOR TO THIS THEY HAD A EPS RECALL

THE EPS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 3 DAYS AGO. THEY SAID IT JUST NEEDED TO BE RESET. CAME BACK ON TODAY AND NO POWER STEERING. BUT NO RECALL ON THIS CAR. REALLY CONCERNED SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING IT.

EPS GOES OUT AT LOW SPEED. NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. ACTS RIGHT AFTER ENGINE RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN LAST 2 WEEKS. BOTH TIMES IN A PARKING LOT. I UNDERSTAND THEY HAVE A RECALL ON THE ELANTRA TOURING BUT NOT THE LS, SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V100000 (STEERING), BUT THE REMEDY WAS INSUFFICIENT. THE DEALER (FAIRFAX HYUNDAI, 10925 FAIRFAX BLVD, FAIRFAX, VA 22030, (703) 352-0444) UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AND STATED THAT THE EPS CONTROL UNIT DID NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED. SHORTLY AFTER THE DEALER'S REPAIR, THE EPS RANDOMLY FAILED AND MADE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE WHEEL LEFT AND RIGHT INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE NUMEROUS TIMES AND REFUSED TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14.

FROM PARKED POSITION, I TURNED THE CAR ON BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT MOVE. THE EPS LIGHT WAS ON. THE STEERING WOULD NOT WORK IN MANUAL MODE EITHER, IT WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HYUNDAI SERVICE WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED NEED FOR NEW STEERING COLUMN. (COST $2400!) THE CAR HAD ONLY ABOUT 83,000 MILES. THE PREVIOUS STEERING RECALL WORK HAD BEEN DONE IN 2015 (SOFTWARE PROBLEM?) LUCKILY I WAS NOT DRIVING AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED. ONLINE I SEE OTHER DRIVERS WHO HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT CAUSED A CRASH.

THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES CLICKING SOUNDS AS IT TURNS, SOUNDS AS IF SOMETHING IS BREAKING OR ALREADY BROKEN INSIDE. I LOOKED UP THIS ISSUE AND IT APPEARS TO BE FAIRLY COMMON IN MANY HYUNDAI VEHICLES. IT IS,AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I BELIEVE HYUNDAI SHOULD COVER THE COST OF REPAIR BUT APPARENTLY BASED ON COMPLAINTS I'VE READ, THEY DO NOT. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THIS CAN LEAD TO STEERING FAILURE IF I'M UNDERSTANDING WHAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT THIS. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR SO I'M HOPING IT WILL EVENTUALLY BE A RECALL. THIS CLICKING TAKES PLACES CONTINUALLY AS I DRIVE AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE ABOUT 53,000 MILES ON MY CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE PARKING IN A PARKING LOT, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED TO THE RIGHT AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

STEERING COLUMN STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL WHEN PARKED OR DRIVING AT LESS THAN 15 MILES PER HOUR INDICATING PLAY IN THE STEERING.

THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LOSE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE EPS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V100000 (STEERING), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED FIVE ADDITIONAL TIMES AFTER THE RECALL SERVICE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANY STEERING ISSUES, BUT WAS AFRAID THAT HE WOULD. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

AT 59,894 MILES THE STEERING COLUMN FELT VERY UNATTACHED. WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT A PART HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE PART WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $345.10 LABOR AND $10.47 FOR THE PART. MY HUSBAND LOOKED UP ON THE WEB AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE ITEM AND QUESTIONS WERE ASKED HYUNDAI CONSUMERS AFFAIRS ( CASE # 9600787) TO NO AVAIL. MY HUSBAND ORDERED THE PART OFF EBAY AND FOUND THAT THE MATERIAL WAS NOT THE SAME THAT THEY REMOVED FROM MY CAR ( THEY GAVE ME THE OLD PART). THE NEW PART LOOKED THE SAME AS THE OLD ONE, EVEN HAD THE SAME NUMBER BUT IT WAS MUCH FIRMER AND MORE RIGID THAN THE ORIGINAL PART. I ASKED HYUNDAI CONSUMERS AFFAIRS SEVERAL TIMES IF THIS PART WERE NOT REPLACED COULD IT LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. NO REPLY. READING ON THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON 60,000 MILE PROBLEM ON THIS CAR AND SEVERAL OTHERS IN THE HYUNDAI/ KIA CORRAL. I BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD NEVER BE A STEERING PROBLEM IN EVERY CAR PRODUCED BY MANUFACTURER FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR AND THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD COME TO A FIX THAT PROVIDES SAFE DRIVING ON ALL ITS CARS FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR WHICH SHOULD BE MORE THAN 60,000 MILES. IN MY 45 YEARS OF DRIVING I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH POOR QUALITY WHICH COULD HAVE DIRE CONSEQUENCES.
