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…

The steering column contains a hard plastic "coupler" as part of the power steering motor. That hard plastic deteriorates over the course of 5 or 6 years and, when it fails, the driver will lose the ability to steer the car. Although this part on my car has not yet failed, i cannot afford the $499 that the dealer wants to charge to make this repair. I feel this should be a safety recall item.

Presumably other owners of this make, model and year have also experienced the same…
