WHAT MAKES MY 2013 HYUNDAI VELOSTER ANY DIFFERENT I SAME ISSUE AS VEHICLES LISTED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED! WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING.

THE RUBBER STEERING COUPLER THAT CONNECTS THE ELECTRIC STEERING MOTOR TO THE STEERING COLUMN HAS FAILED. WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL THE FRONT TIRES DO NOT INITIALLY START TO TURN UNTIL YOU HEAR A METALLIC CLUCK AND THEN THE TIRES START TO TURN. THIS OCCURS WHETHER THE CAR IS STOPPED OR MOVING. ALSO, BUMPY ROADS CAUSES ERRATIC SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THAT DID NOT START TO OCCUR UNTIL THE RUBBER STEERING COUPLER FAILED. THIS PART FAILED WHEN THE CAR HAD ONLY 55,000 MILES ON IT. THE COST TO REPAIR IT WAS AROUND $250. *TR
