While driving vehicle looses steering. Yes, that's right, you cannot steer the car !!!!! a eps light comes on. That's the electronic streering control warning light. I went online to look at the number of complaints, there are hundreds. I did go to the dealer, who just said, sorry $2300. 00. I cannot believe there has not been a recall on this. I have owned many cars in my lifetime; never lost steering. Give me my 1962 chevy back, no power steering, never had a problem. Thank you, robert mongillo not a proud owner of a Hyundai Elantra.

Jerky steering action for last month. Now eps light has come onto dashboard.

Eps or electric power steering stoped working in the middle of the intersection when I tried to turn left. Vehicle became uncontrollable and I had to stop in the middle of the intersection. Everyone started honking and several lights changed before someone approached and helped me just to park the vehicle right after the intersection. There was no lights or any warning that this will happen. I was lucky not to get injured because of this car malfunction. I contacted Hyundai and they confirmed there was recall with that particular problem! recall numbers 931 and 127. But since than they are very unprofessional and not interested in fixing this issue! I feel like they have 0% interest in helping their customers! second issue that persists for longer time are seatbelts. They pop open in random moments of driving! they don’t stay locked the whole drive and I feel unsafe in my Hyundai! I called Hyundai the same day ( may 20th) I almost crashed because of well known recall on bad design eps , and today August 10th , other than exchanging few emails, they didn’t help me at all! I’m really disappointed with Hyundai safety and customer care, and I don’t recommend to anyone to buy and own Hyundai !.

In February of 2021, I took my Hyundai in for several recall services, including 15v100000. || in the following months, my car began to lose power steering capabilities either on ignition or while driving. Losing power steering while driving was extremely dangerous and the risk of an accident was obvious, requiring me to pull off of the road or take an exit several times. The power steering eventually failed entirely on 5/5/2021. || at this point, I ran diagnostic scan that returned the code c1604, with a definition of "ecu hardware error". || I scheduled an appointment with the same dealership that did the recall service and they determined that the issue was that the "power steering has [an] internal failure. " this leads me to believe that they are referring to the electric power steering torque sensor, a key component identified in the 15v100000 recall. However, they were unwilling to cover the cost of repair ($2,990 + tax) because I had already completed the recall service. . Read more...

The electronic power steering assistance has disabled during driving, making steering extremely difficult. At the time driving was done on city streets and the car was in motion. This has happened 4 times in the past month. One other time, the eps was disabled when I started the car. I drove around the block and stopped, then turned the car off. When I started the car 10 minutes later, the power steering was working again. This was the issue covered in the 2015 recall and I had it taken care of by a Hyundai dealership service department when I received the recall notice.

My 2010 Elantra was recalled for defective steering coupler. About 2 months ago the steering collar started to click when the steering wheel was turned. I checked and there was a recall for this. When I went to delray Hyundai in delray beach, FL I was told I would have to pay approximately $440 to have the collar replaced. I don't understand why I should pay for a recalled item that just failed the previous week. I feel I should be entitled to a full refund from delray Hyundai for the repair. I had no choice in paying since they had the car and I didn't want my wife to drive it in this condition.

The light eps , (electronic power steering) randomly turns on and my steering wheel would be stiff and I need to put great effort to turn. Sometimes I'll stop and turn off and on the car to remove the eps. Now on 10/11/2020 the eps light stays on. I might have a car that had a recall for 127. Its dangerous to have my car like this.

I have a 2010 Hyundai Elantra touring with 16,605 miles. It has had steering problems that have been fixed by the dealership at no cost to me twice before. However now it needs another steering repair and the parts alone cost me $1,446. 89 and labor will be an additional $300. The part is coming from korea and may take one to two months to get to the dealership. In the mean time I have no car to do my errands. I am asking for reimbursement and restitution for myself and a guarantee that this steering problem will not reoccur .

A few months after I purchased this car the electric power steering (eps light ) light came on and so I looked up my VIN number to see if the car has ever had any recalls and that was one of the recalls .

The recall required replacement of the power steering motor controller 56300-2h250 with 56310-2h250qqh. In August of 2020, I removed the steering column and inspected the power steering motor controller that is currently in the car. The motor controller is still 56300-2h250, see attached photo. This should have been replaced with the recall, but the dealer did not replace it as per the attached TSB.

I'm having the same problem as hundreds of people have had the two dollar part with very high labor cost. There was a recall in 2015 problem was obviously miss diagnosis it is the steering coupling. It can cause a lost if control of the vehicle. I was a total case specialist for kia consumer affairs the company should be taking car of a lot of issues that they tell customers it out of warranty or you missed a oil change so the warranty is void. I took several if the calls that vehicle caught fire. Nhtsa you should be for consumers you hear the same complaint over and over from owners of kia and Hyundai . Most of there cars are crap I got the same calls for the same issues over and over.

It seems there are many others with this problem so I will keep it brief. My car has 150000 on it. There is a clicking in the steering wheel and the eps. The clicking happens when driving or parked. At all times. I went into a dealership and was told I need a new steering rack. The repair cost more than the car's value. I went in to have repairs for recalls in 2018. I'm wondering if they actually fixed it because the eps was one of the issues.

Steering wheel clicks when driving turning left or turning right or going straight.

My steering wheels feels like it locked. It's really difficult to turn the steering wheel. It feels firm in place unless I turn it really hard with force and it's moves the vehicle slightly to the direction I turn too. It's usually happens randomly so I can't predict when it will lock in place. There's been a couple of times where I'm parked and getting ready to leave and as I head out of my parking spots I get stuck because the steering wheel. When this happens in red letters "eps" show up on my dashboard. This also happened when I'm driving normally in the freeway. When sign eps shows up and I have to park my car on the side with emergency lights on and completely turn off my car in order to drive normally and for the eps light to turn off on the dashboard. When turning on city streets, my steering wheel also locks itself in place at random times. The turns are usually wide and awkward because I can't move the steering wheel when eps is on the dashboard. Hence why I turn on my emergency lights then this occasion happens. I've had this problem since I bought this car at carmax in the year of 2015 but it's been happening frequently this year.

Started the car on June 24, 2019 with the intention to go to work. The eps warning light came on. The light did not go out as usual. Attempted to turn the steering wheel. The wheels were very hard to turn. Because the wheel would not turn enough to change the direction of the car. It was deem undriveable and unsafe. The car was at home. The car had to be tow to the hyrndai dealership on July 2. 2019 and as of July 14, the car is still at the dealership being repaired.

On Saturday June 15 my eps came on. I looked it up and says there is a recall on the steering. Today June 17 I called hyuandai and they tell me there is no recall. I would recommend all 2010 Elantras get looked at for a recall on the steering. I wouldn't recommend driving the car very far till you get it checked out. I started the car when the light came on Saturday.
