My hyundai was stolen. After talking with the police and conducting research, Kia and Hyundai are extremely easy to steal. Not to mention the whole tiktok challenge which is going around teaching people how to steal these vehicles.

While driving the steering locks up and the power steering light comes on. You turn off the vehicle and turn it back on it clears the light in the dash drives fine for a little while then does it again
My 2017 hyundai elantras steering becomes extremely hard to steer, then the engine stalls out and the dash lights come on. I'm frighten of crashing when this happens. I restart the engine and the steering returns to normal. The cause is a damaged electronic power steering (mdps) connector. There was a recall (#161) for a replacement electronic power steering motor at no charge for this year make and model vehicle but I'm told mine was not included in that recall?

Clunky noise on the steering wheel and lock up the steering wheel
The contact owned a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph, the steering wheel seized. There was an abnormal popping noise detected and the air bags deployed. The contact stated the steering was stuck in a trucker's position. A police report was filed. There was no reported crash or fire. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The driver sustained injuries to her hands, arm, thighs, brain, and neck and medical attention was provided. The local dealer was notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was deemed a total loss by the insurance company. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown.
On five different occasions over the past several months, the power steering has ceased to function, generally after the car has been driven and then parked. It suddenly appears to resolve itself after the steering wheel is operated manually numerous times. The local Hyundai dealer has stated that they will not attempt to diagnose the problem unless the car is towed in inoperable. If this failure occurs while driving, it could result in a catastrophic situation, as steering the vehicle would be extremely difficult.
My passenger rear door which I barely use will not open from the inside or outside. In addition, when I turn at a slow speed I have problems with the steering wheel not turning smoothly and when I break the vehicle jolts. I have told the dealership about the steering wheel and the jolting and they haven’t done anything about it. That has been going on for a few years. The door I just noticed a month ago.
Well my car is making a deal bad noise when I turn to the right I just recently realize that this year make moudel had a recall on the steering but where is the data base provided for me that it was fixed cause I can't find anything on it at and if it was fixed how do we know it wasn't a default part put back in my car need to have this looked into because when I turn to the right it's like it takes control of the steering and then I lose all power of steering not at all times normally at low rates of speed when turning towards the right or making the right turn at times it feels like going down the highway at 75 miles per hour but it's wanting to take control of the car at times
Steering really bad car pulls both ways on the highway makes weird noise when taking off and accelerating and car randomly dies
The steering wheel on the vehicle is loose and jagged; therefore when I turn the steering wheel it does not follow. I have to turn slowly to make the adjustment and I can hear the griding in the steering wheel system as I try to steer. I must get a repair as soon as possible fearing that the steering will stop working and cause me to veer in a dangerous direction.
When my teenage daughter drove our 2017 Hyundai Elantra, the power steering locked up on her while entering a busy interstate. Thankfully, she did not run into the barrier wall or nobody hit her from behind. Took it into the Hyundai dealership and apparently the torque sensor went out. They want to charge $1800 to fix it. Conveniently for them, it’s not covered under warranty as warranty stopped at 60k miles. The car just rolled over at 61k. As I researched, apparently this is a known issue with Hyundai.
The steering wheel tightens up occasionally when making right turns. Also when turning the steering wheel it makes a clicking turning on gravel sound on occasion. No ESP light is on, on the dash cluster. It is without a doubt 2017 Hyundai Elantra have steering problems that need to be address and recalled.
There was a recall on 3/28/2017 on the 2017 hyundai Elantra for a power steering (eps motor) problem. Recall 161 I recently bought a 2017 Hyundai Elantra used. It showed no outstanding unrepaired recalls on the vin number check. However without realizing there was a former steering recall on my car i have been noticing that my car when steering to the right catches. I mostly experience this at higher speeds and while driving on the highway when changing lanes. As if it snagged on something or i have no control for a microsecond. Its happens and just as quickly goes away when i bring the steering wheel back to the left.I am wondering if the march 2017 recall and my current problem are related. Is there any way of determining if my car was under that recall and whether it was repaired or not. When recall notices on a particular car/vin number are repaired does that info get entered into a national data base . It seems very coincidental to say the least that i am experience a steering anomaly and i now find out there was a past recall for a problem involving steering. Yet i can't seem to determine if my car was repaired for such a recall in the past
First the car has been acting like it's going to die even while driving it. Now I'm having issues with my steering wheel, it every once in a while is difficult to turn but it's off and on. It's always while I'm actively driving it's been both city street and highways.
The power steering mechanism clicks or claps whenever steering either from left to right. The noise isn't always there. It happens at random times, but its at either directions when steering into a parking spot or a parking lot.
In operating speed less than 25 MPH on a residential street, electronic power steering assistance abruptly stopped working and power steering light on dash illuminated. Operator lost 90% control of steering. All other electrical components operated as designed. Dealership diagnosed the issue was due to a bad battery but all other electrical components operated. Recall 161 describes a more accurate description of a damaged electronic power steering connector resulting in a loss of electric power steering assistance.
Yes I had bought a used 2017 hyundai elantra sei they never informed me of any recalls on this vehicle after I bought the vehicle the motor blew up because of one of the cylinders were sticking because of a factory defect they replaced the motor the second motor started doing the same thing getting stuck and shaking the steering would lock up sometimes where I could not even steer or it was hard to steer why even when I bought the car they did not inform me of recalls when I talk to the car back and have the motor replaced they still did not inform me of any recalls these things cost me to have an accident and hit a telephone pole and totaled my vehicle
I had the recall on my car fixed but it is doing the same thing again. When I slow down it will just cut off on you.
Steering wheel is getting hard to turn at times. It feels like it is sticking while driving
First winter with the car and I had a weird sound coming from the steering when turning. I set up an appointment with the local dealership. They took the car in and found that there was ice packed around steering rack. The car is parked outside on the street or also off the road in my driveway. This has happened every year since I have owned the car but I have only taken it down once. When I call the appointment is usually days out. Ny winters.
Vehicle was in motion on a highway, power steering completely went away making the vehicle operator take more effort to be able to turn, making it more prone to collisions at lower speeds. Cause is unknown at this time. Same year/make/model cars were also recalled for same issue, hyundai's recall number for this was 17v213000.
Three different independent problems. Passenger airbag dashboard keeps flashing. Weird wheels sound while turning either side. Passenger's seat belt is not functioning.
I have had a ton of issues. My blind spot sensors only work occasionally. (I actually know someone else with a hyundai that is having the same problem). Additionally, sensors go off at random. I have had the warnings for flat tire pop up multiple times when there was no flat tire. One of the tones my steering wheel actually locked up and I was unable to drive. I have also had issues with my radio screen and the radio playing. My push to start button also has issues. Sometimes it will not turn the whole car off. They replaced something in the bottom but it is still happening. Today it actually had a hard time starting. This has been happening since I got the car. I've had it less than a year and it has been to the shop a couple dozen times. This happens at all times both when I'm moving and not moving depending on the issues. It has also happened when I was driving slower and faster. My screen has also frozen and I have been unable to use it. Both in motion and parked. P

Driving around 35 miles an hour and come to a small curve turned the wheel little bit but car went straight and guard rail hit passager side front of car and driver airbag came out but didn't blow all the way up and had a hole in it with stitching around it so driver airbag is no count just falls in your lap and electric steering is unpredictable
