| Description of the problem | Even i had the problem with my 2011 sonata turbo 2. 0. Steering wheel became very stiff and there was a loud clunking noise when driving on uneven roads, bumps and high speed. The garage i went to charged me $300 for electronic steering coupler kit and rebuild and $450 for the labor. Looks like there are quite a few complaints with this problem in 2011 sonata. This wasn't part of the eps control module recall. Hyundai should make a note of it and have this fixed as part of recall asap. |
