2014 Hyundai Elantra Steering Problems

I have 2014 Hyundai Elantra it unsafe to drive put in drive it wouldn’t go forward . It jerky hard to go. Failure of light. Transmission.steer clutch shaft

I OWN A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA LIMITED. IT HANDLES NORMALLY WHEN IN TOWN DRIVING BUT WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VEERS SLIGHTLY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND YOU CANNOT KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT IN CENTER. IT IS HARD TO MANEUVER AS THE STEERING APPEARS TO STICK IN EITHER POSITION AS YOU FIGHT TO KEEP IT IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD. IT STICKS MORE TO THE LEFT THAN TO THE RIGHT. I AM AMAZED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THESE CARS BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY HYUNDAI'S HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I CANNOT PUT A SPECIFIC DATE ON THE INCIDENT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOES THIS ALL THE TIME WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY SO I JUST PICKED THE DATE THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A DEALER.

THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A STREET. IT KEPT JUMPING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, THE STEERING WHEEL GOT REALLY HARD TO MOVE. IT MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I TRY TO TURN IT ON, WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR WHITE SMOKE THAT SMELLS REALLY STRONG STARTS COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST AND THE CAR WON'T DRIVE, IF I PUT IT ON DRIVE IT JUMPS A LOT AND TURNS OFF BY ITSELF. I HAVE READ AN ARTICLE IN WHICH MANY USERS OF THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA FROM THE YEARS 2011 TO 2015 HAVE THIS SAME MOTOR ISSUES. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THE ENGINE. EVEN BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS REALLY ROUGH, ITS NOT SMOOTH ITS NOT EASY TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A U- TURN OR TURNING ON A STREET, I HAVE TO PULL REALLY HARD TO MAKE TURNS, I DON'T THINK THIS IS SAFE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 45 MPH THE STEERING FEELS AS IF IT "LOCKS" IN THE CENTER POSITION DRIVING STRAIGHT. NOT THAT IT IS STIFFER TO TO TURN BUT "LOCKS' IN THE CENTER POSITION. YOU MUST USE MORE FORCE TO GET PAST THIS "LOCK" OR NULL POSITION. THIS IS NOT SPEED SENSITIVE STEERING! THIS SEEMS ONLY TO HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT AND TRYING TO MAKE SMALL INPUT STEERING CORRECTIONS. WHEN USING MORE FORCE TO GET PAST THE LOCK POSITION YOU CAN TEND TO OVER STEER, WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS. *JS

VEHICLE AIR BAGS SYSTEMS JUST WENT OUT. ALSO MY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM ISN'T WORKING EITHER

WHEN WE DRIVE THE CAR THE STEERING WHEEL WILL STICK OR SEEM TO CATCH ON SOMETHING WHICH MAKES IT VERY HARD TO DRIVE STRAIGHT AND NOT ALL OVER THE RD LIKE WERE DRUNK. IT DOESN'T DO IT IF YOU ARE TURNING. ONLY WHEN YOU DRIVE STRAIGHT. IT HAS DEFINITELY ALMOST CAUSED SOME ACCIDENTS, AND ALSO TICKETS TOO! I WOULD THINK THAT THE STEERING WOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE AND I MOST DEFINITELY THINK HYUNDAI WOULD WANT TO MAKE THEIR CARE OWNERS THEIR PRIORITY SINCE WE ARE DRIVING THEIR NAME AND REPUTATION. I MOST DEFINITELY WANT TO BELIEVE THAT MY LIFE AND SAFETY OF MYSELF BUT ALSO MY KIDS AND HUSBAND AS WELL! THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS.

MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL VIRTUALLY LOCK, ONLY ALLOWING ME TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL 2 INCHES, WITH INCREASING DIFFICULTY AFTER THAT RANGE IN EITHER DIRECTION. MAKING SHARPER TURNS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT HAVING TO HARSHLY TUG THE WHEEL ONLY EFFECTIVELY MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL ANOTHER 1-2INCHES WITH EACH TUG. THIS GOES AWAY WHEN TURNING OFF AND ON THE VEHICLE, AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BOTH COME ON AS SOON AS IT HAPPENS SEEMINGLY OUT OF NOWHERE.

THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN YOU TRY TO TURN INTO A CURVE YOU HAVE TO BE VERY FORCEFUL WITH TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH LEADS TO EITHER ENDING UP IN THE OTHER LANE OR IN THE DITCH. THIS IS A SAFETY RISK AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THIS IS NOT JUST HAPPENING WITH MY CAR, ITS HAPPENING WITH SEVERAL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM FURTHER BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI ELENTRA. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL CONTINUOUSLY WENT IN A CIRCLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

MY 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAS NUMEROUS ISSUES. THE CAR FEELS UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE WHEN A VERY SMALL FLAW MAKES IT SEEM YOU ARE LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT FEELS AS IF THE BACK END IS COMING AROUND AS IF IT IS GOING TO DO A 360 IN THE ROAD. IT ALSO HAS A FEELING IN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT IT WANTS TO LOCK UP AND HAVE TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO WHEEL AND IT FINALLY BREAKS LOOSE BUT FEELS UNCOMFORTABLE AS IF YOU ARE GOING INTO OTHER LANES. IT DOES THIS IN EITHER DIRECTION. SOMETIMES I FEEL THE STEERING IS LOCKING UP AND COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY DIFFERENT REPORTS OF THESE SAME ISSUES AND APPARENTLY HYUNDAI CHARGES OUTRAGEOUS PRICES JUST TO TELL YOU NOTHING IS WRONG. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE CARS AND REALLY NEEDS ATTENTION BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS STEERING STICKS AT CENTER AND IT HARD TO UNSTICK. ONCE YOU PULL HARD ENOUGH TO GET PAST THE STICKING IT TURNS EXTREMELY EASY MAKING ME WANDER ALL OVER THE ROAD.

THE STEERING STICKS IN THE CENTER POSITION. EXTRA EFFORT IS REQUIRED TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT FROM THE CENTER POSITION WHEN DRIVING. CONDITION DEVELOPED AT 12,000 MILES.

AFTER LESS THAN 2 YEARS, THE CAR BATTERY DIES AND DISABLES THE CONTROL OF THIS PARTICULAR CAR AND YEAR. MANY CUSTOMERS, ACCORDING TO REVIEWS, SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. SHOULD THE BATTERY FALTER WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, SERIOUS ACCIDENTS COULD RESULT. MY VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT A SLOW PACE IN THE PARKING LOT WHEN THE BATTERY DIED. I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. I WAS NOT EXPECTING THE BATTERY TO DIE AS IT IS ONLY ABOUT 18 MONTHS OLD. I DO NOT HAVE A PICTURE. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP.

2014 ELANTRA WITH APPROXIMATELY 13,000 MILES. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 50-70MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS AT THE CENTER POSITION. SLIGHT PRESSURE NORMALLY REQUIRED TO CHANGE LANES DOES NOT EFFECTIVELY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL ENOUGH TO CORRECT STEERING IN ORDER TO REMAIN IN A STRAIGHT LINE. WHEN ENOUGH PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO CORRECT STEERING, A SLIGHT POP IS FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON 5 FREEWAY IN CALIFORNIA MY 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE LIKE SOMEONE HITTING THE BRAKE. I THREW IT IN NEUTRAL AND HELP MY WIFE TURN THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE WE LOST POWER STEERING. WE GOT LUCKY AND HAD A SPACE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN WE GOT TOWED TO TUTTLE-CLICK IN IRVINE, CA AND OUR CAR TURNED INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THEY BASICALLY SAID WE ARE ON OUR OWN TO FIND A RIDE BACK HOME AND NO LOANER CAR. TWO DAYS LATER I HAVE TO CALL THEM TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM, FIRST A TECHNICIAN SAID THAT IT WAS A BAD BATTERY BUT THAT WOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED IT TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THEN A FEW HOURS LATER THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLS TO SAY IT WAS THE BATTERY AND THAT IS WHAT CAUSED IT TO SHUT DOWN ON US. AFTER (4) DAYS OF KEEPING THE CAR, THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP SAID THAT OUR BATTERY HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHICH CAUSED OUR CAR TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON THE FREEWAY. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI CORPORATE BUT DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY CAN DO?

THE ISSUE IS WITH THE STEERING. NO POWER STEERING, VERY HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. CALLED THE DEALER. BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER. 08/04/2015. DIAGNOSE: THE STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN ALL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MAKE OF THIS CAR IS A 2014 ELANTRA GT WITH ONLY 6400 MILES. 08/21/2015 STILL WAITING ON THE PART THAT IS BACK ORDER TO COME IN.

SUSPENSION CONSISTENTLY BOUNCES OVER BUMPS ON THE FREEWAY, SOMETIMES SO SEVERE THE CAR FEELS AS IF IT WILL LOSE CONTROL AND END UP IN ANOTHER LANE. DEALER REPLACED BOTH REAR SHOCKS, WHICH PROVIDED LITTLE IMPROVEMENT, AS THE FRONT OF THE CAR STILL SEEMS TO BOUNCE/HOP OVER BUMPS AT MOST SPEEDS OVER 15MPH. VEHICLE STILL FEELS UNSTABLE, UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ALL DEALERS SEEM TO DENY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH SEEMINGLY LITTLE DIAGNOSTIC WORK DONE. AFTER CHECKING HYUNDAI-FORUMS.COM, FOUND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE TO EXPERIENCE THIS UNPLEASANT NATURE OF THE SUSPENSION AFTER A FEW THOUSAND MILES. NOTE: CAR DID NOT HANDLE THIS TERRIBLY WHEN NEW.
