There are 2 owner-reported steering complaints for the 2015 Hyundai Accentin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
The steering wheel, when in use in turning, emanates a fairly distinct "clicking" sound whether turning left or right. I have been told this happens in Hyundai and Kia vehicles, and that there has been some movement from manufacturer to replace the "Steering Coupler" in some models. I first noticed mine approximately 6 months ago. Will I receive a recall letter from my dealership to replace mine? I bought new in (August 2015) and now have only 57,000 miles on vehicle. I am afraid if this gets worse I might loose ability to steer and that it could happen at the worst possible moment. Can you help? [XXX] I want this information shared with NTSB, I want any and all recalls to come to my email and home address via US Mail.
