Some Hyundai Sonata owners report experiencing tight steering wheels, particularly when turning to the right, which may indicate a problem with the steering system and could be accompanied by a rubbing noise. Additionally, some owners have noted an abnormal clicking noise while turning the steering wheel, suggesting potential issues within the steering column. Low power steering fluid levels have also been reported, leading to difficulties in turning the steering wheel. Furthermore, problems with the MDPS module, steering angle sensor, or software may affect steering performance without triggering warning lights. Common complaints among Hyundai Sonata owners include raspy or rubbing noises when turning, which might necessitate bearing replacement in the steering system. Various model years have seen reports of steering problems, including sensitivity issues and power steering failures. It is recommended that any steering difficulties be promptly inspected by a qualified mechanic to ensure safety and proper vehicle function.
