Power steering has failed while driving multiple times during the past 18 months. I have brought the car in for service at my local dealership for the same problem multiple times. The power steering has been replaced twice and the rack and pinion has been replaced but the problem persists. A fault code generated from the power steering failure but hyundai mechanics and hyundai corporate do not recognize the code. Unbelievable!

The power steering failed suddenly and catastrophically while driving in the parking lot. The steering wheel became hard to turn at any range of speed. The vehicle was examined by the dealership mechanic and I was informed the power steering pump had failed. After some brief research, it seems to be a known amd documented problem. I am awaiting repair(s) and extended warranty authorization as my car is no longer covered by the limited warranty and the power steering is not covered by the power train warranty. This is a costly repair that should be done at the manufacturer's cost under formal recall.

Had a similar problem earlier today while taking the car out to get dinner. As I was approaching the freeway exit my car suddenly stalled and the steering wheel seemed to stiffen and the navi screen went out then back on. I pulled over emergency lane and waited to see what would happen and music continued up again from the USB port but I couldn't change the song. On the navi screen where USB setting is saying " initialization failed". So I pulled the USB stick to reset it and got it to work. I was able to go to dinner then drive back home without incident. But later on that night I tried to start my car but as soon as I hit the start button everything died. No power to anything no alarm no use of keyless entry no power at all. Then I come back to the car a few hours later that night and open the trunk manually with the key to get something and as soon as I slam the trunk down all the power came back hids, brake lights, lexicon system music playing. Except when I try to turn on the engine with the start button it won't start. Then everything shuts off like before I'm at a loss. But eeriely I been having problems like the previous poster with topping of gas issues because the car doesn't know when to stop pumping gas sometimes when full and a few times the car spewed out some fuel. I'm not sure if that is related to my recent stall incident but I've plans to driving from san jose back home to los angeles tomorrow on labor day and I'm scared to. What if the car stalls on mountain freeway over pass and it stalls and lose steering and brakes. I don't know if the dealer is even open labor day. What should I do? Help!

My hydraulic module was replaced august 2014 under warranty because of brake system failure. When I drove the car out from the dealership my power steering was not working at low speed. I have no power steering when backing out my drive way or at low speed like in a parking lot. I have been afraid to notify them because they lied about the hecu ,and did not say it was an issue covered by recall. They said they would cover the replacement of the hecu under their "" goodwill "" funds. The car has 73856 miles as today. I have been afraid to drive it except close to home in case the power steering completely fails. Only 1209 miles since august 2014 . Todays date 13 april 2015.

I was coming to a stop in traffic, the engine RPM was dropping, and wanted to change lanes. Upon accelerating I attempted to turn the steering wheel and I lost power steering, almost collided with other vehicles and was close to being hit by oncoming traffic. This has happened many times with this vehicle. I am speaking out now because I have seen the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v100000 and it sounds like what my vehicle does.
