What Owners Say
"I did not realize this was a problem. It was discovered during 90,000 mile routine service. However, the ride is much smoother and quieter since they were repaired."
Anonymous, MA (2011 Hyundai Elantra GLS 1.8-L 4 Cyl)"Just the usual I suppose with a 14-year-old car - ride was getting extremely rough and we had to replace all the cushioning bits. Another big repair bill."
Anonymous, ON (2011 Hyundai Elantra Unsure Unsure)"Flexible coupling failure caused noise and play in steering. $90 to diagnose. $450 to replace."
Anonymous, PA (2011 Hyundai Elantra GLS 1.8-L 4 Cyl)""We started hearing a clunking and feeling a pull when turning the steering wheel. Turns out the rubber sleeve on the joint had worn away and needed to be replaced, but we couldn't tell whether it was a safety issue, as it felt as if the steering was coming apart.""
Anonymous, CA (2011 Hyundai Elantra GLS Unsure)""Plastic coupler in steering wheel assembly wore out causing slop in steering, had to take steering wheel assembly apart to replace.""
Anonymous, OH (2011 Hyundai Elantra GLS 1.8-L 4 Cyl)"My Elantra was making a metal-on-metal noise from the front end when I went over any sort of bump or pothole. I wound up having to have one of the tie rod ends replaced. I have had to do this 4 times since I purchased the car in 2013."

"A warning light came on about the power steering and there was also a "clicking" sound when you turned the steering wheel. Performance did not appear affected but there was concern the problem could worsen so we got the power steering replaced - ugh, $1500 later."
