While driving with my daughter back to college this january (2020) my husband and i both noticed that the steering on her 2015 elantra was sticking. We only noticed it at highway speeds. It seemed to be fine at lower speeds and while we were driving in town once we got to her school. But it was really bad on the highway, especially once the car had been driven for 10 minutes or so. It would drive straight, but as…

I have been having an issue with trying to keep the car driving straight down the highway. At "in town speeds" it seems fine. It feels as if the steering wheel gets stuck in place or locked up. The car wants to always go either left or right, whichever way the steering wheel was turned to slightly. I thought that it may be the tires so i had them rotated, no change. I bought new tires, still no change. I had the…

Steering wheel has what feels like a notch in it. It sits right where you have to adjust the steering as you drive. You have to constantly compensate for this. I took my car to the dealer they reset something but it is back again.

Steering
Steering binds at highway speeds requiring extra effort to move steering wheel. This added effort results in over compensation once binding is overcome. This is experienced while adjusting to maintain forward direction, as well as turning. It is not quite as noticeable at lower speeds. This has been an ongoing problem since car was purchased new.

Steering
The steering system develops a sticky/dead zone that feels like a notch in the steering, resulting in the inability to keep the car straight on the highway. It requires a bit of force to make micro corrections or to get past that hard resistance. Impossible to keep the car straight on the highway.

When vehicle is traveling at highway speeds above 40 mph the steering sticks at center position. Need to over steer to get vehicle back into a straight line on highway. Told the dealership and they brushed it off as a no defect. This problem is more than just a nuisance especially driving on snow and ice. Definitely a major safety concern and should be addressed asap. Problem seems to get worse as the engine warms…

This is our second new hyundai elantra, model year 2015. After about 16,000 miles, we noticed a "glitch" that seemed to be occurring at higher, but modest speeds (40-65 mph). The smooth steering-wheel range of motion that we are normally used to seemed to change at road speeds, exhibiting a point where minor l-r steering-wheel adjustments were stiff, almost like a "detent" in a normal smooth range of motion.…

The car sways back and forth when driving at highway speeds. Tires and alignment, were checked and everything is good. Can not stay in a straight line for very long. Switched from comfort, sport, normal and no difference. If there is little wind out the car gets even worse and does not stay straight. No one at the dealership can explain and seems they don't care. *tr
