Description of the problem | There is a steering clunking noise as well as a "dead spot" in the steering wheel motion. There is a loss of control of the actual wheels while the steering wheel is at the center posistion. You can rock the steering wheel back and forth from center and the wheels will not turn. This is a known problem for hyundais, and hyundai has extended its warranty to their other models but have excluded the veloster for no reason. This is a ~$400 fix at the dealer ship for a known defective part. Total scam. |
