I noticed that the steering column was making a noise right after Hyunda replaced the defective motor. Car was leaking fluids and engine light came on. Benson Hyundai had the car towed. I mentioned that the steering did not feel right and I was concerned. They evaluated and said the mid steering shaft needed to be replaced. I noticed this was an issue with earlier models but did not see anything with the 2017 model. Thought it would be worth inquiring as the dealership is so nasty to deal with and don’t seem to have answers when I go to them.

In October 2022 my power steering failed as I turned into the drop off circle at my child's school. The traction light and another hazard light came on and function did not return until vehicle was restarted. I know experience clicking sounds coming from steering system when ever I turn 90 degrees or more. My vehicle barely has 44000 miles and clearly is experiencing the same manufacturing defect that hundreds of owners have reported here. There need to be an emergency recall to prevent anyone from getting hurt or even worse. Steering is a necessary function when you have such a massive piece of machinery to control. If Hyundai ignores this issue it is clear they are ok with having weapons out on the road that were supposed to be quality vehicles. Once you can't control a vehicle it becomes a weapon and since this issue seems to correct itself although it leaves defects afterwards people can't determine when it will happen again. I need my car and have children. Hyundai be the company you advertise as, this is showing you have no concern for your customers safety.

The steering wheel is not responsive when pulling out of parking I.e when turning to pull out of parking. When I attempt to turn left or right the steering wheel pops and makes a noise it distracts daily driving as it makes you think you hit something or were involved in a crash. 09/01/2022 On 09/07/2022 I brought my car in to maxon hyndai in New Jersey and Informed them of the problem I have been having with the steering on my car.

The dealership won’t pick up my calls and the Hyundai customer service is not helpful. Hyundai Motor America sent me a correspondence that the car is under warranty for up to 150,000 miles but are trying to give me the run around. I called on 09/07/2022 and spoke with Tiffany the case manager at Hyundai Motor America the corporation and it took her 3 weeks to finally get back to me and to let me know that customer service from Hyundai had forwarded me to the wrong department as her department doesn’t resolve warranty issues. When I told her this was a dishonest act and that Hyundai is lying about MDPS extended warranty her reply was she’s only doing what the company told her.

The power steering has gone out on my vehicle twice in 2 months. The first time, I was driving down a city street and had just turned right into a parking lot. As I turned the steering wheel to park, the power steering went out. It was scary; it took a lot of turning of the steering wheel to safely maneuver out of the way of the parking lot traffic. The second time, I had just left my house to take my vehicle in for its 15,000 mile service. Less than 3 minutes away from my house, as I was making a right turn on a city street, the power steering went out. It was hard to maneuver the car out of traffic, but I was able to do so. In both instances, I heard clicking noises prior to the power steering going out. The first time the power steering went out, I heard a clicking noise as I was turning into the parking lot. The second time the power steering went out, I heard clicking noises as I was backing out of my driveway. My car sat in my driveway with me driving it only twice between the first and second incidence of the power steering going out. I only drove it the second time to get the 15,000 mile service and to see if the dealership could fix the problem. I ended up having the vehicle towed to the dealership. I am afraid to drive my car. So far, the dealership says it is unable to determine the cause of the problem because they can't replicate it.

After driving my newly purchased 2017 hyundai sonata, for any length of time or mileage, the power steering will make a clunk sound and then will stop working when slowing down and reaching a speed of around 10mph and then when I regain speed I am still struggling to turn the wheel because I've lost the power steering. I did discover that once the ignition is turned off and restarted that the power steering works again. However, when driving on a freeway or road, pulling over to restart the vehicle is not always an option and with the steering wheel so hard to control, the potential for accident avoidance is lowered. And winter weather conditions will make driving with this manual steering situation that much more dangerous. It seems the hyundai elantra is having the same issue and a recall has already been issued.
