Recent owner complaints

Steering
Power steering has been going out intermittently. The first time was about a week ago at a light. One of my mechanics suggested it could be a battery going out, and wouldnât you know it? My battery went out a couple days later. With my brand new battery in the car, my power steering has still been going out intermittently. So I think they may have been unrelated. Today for the first time I went out while I was actually driving right before a turn. This is extremely dangerous and Iâm worried about driving the car and ended up losing power steering on the freeway.. the most concerning part is that the last five complaints have been for the exact same issue so Iâm not alone. Why…

The power steering on my car stopped working entirely right after startup and would not return after multiple restarts. The dealership has replaced the steering torque sensor but the problem returned less than a month later. Without power steering, the car is not safe to drive.

I was driving the speed limit, not going fast, when suddenly the power steering went out, it is an EPS system. I pulled over, cycled the car on and off and it fixed the problem, for now at least. I have seen several other people have this same issue, it needs to be addressed by hyundai.

My power steering motor failed suddenly while driving. I was on the highway at the time. The resulting steering difficulty endangered myself and everyone else on the roadway. The power steering warning light came on at the same time that the steering failed. I had no prior warning. I took the vehicle to a service center that confirmed the problem and replaced the power steering motor. I had the motor replaced and kept the defective motor in case you would like to inspect it.
