What Owners Say
"This is a known issue with this vehicle. The local repair shop will not fix it. They say it has to be done by the dealer. Diy'ers have youtube videos but it entails tearing the whole steering column apart"

Anonymous A., SC (2013 Hyundai Elantra Limited 1.8-L 4 Cyl)"Its a know issue that results in a plastic component being chewed up the result is excessive play in the steering wheel and clicking when you rotate the wheel up and down. There are YouTube videos that show how to fix it. Its is a costly repair that is not covered by a recall. It started right around just over 100,000 miles. It is a permanent condition. I would have it fixed if I knew they were not going to reinstall the plastic component again."
