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?.
A few months after getting the car the engine kept stalling the engine light would only turn on after stalling each time I have brought it to multiple Hyundai dealerships they keep saying it's just a spark plug issue. It's frustrating since once off the lot a week later it's randomly stalling again. This never fixed the issue. The car has stalled both on roads, roundabouts and freeways causing me to nearly be in crashes multiple times, I do not feel safe driving this car. The car is in motion and the engine just stops the car stalls and then the engine light comes on. I had been able to start it and get it moving it's random when the engine stalls. Today I took it to another car repair center they said the engine had a ton of metal particles and chunks, like the engines on the 2014 Elantra�s. They suggested I file a report to the NHTSA and bring it to the dealership as there is no way a engine or piston should look this bad and that the metal pieces look like they are from the manufacturing process. I'm not sure why the dealerships never checked the engine completely regarding this issue they could have seen the metal fragments earlier. I'm worried that I won't be lucky on the road next time the engine stalls and I'm worried about others having the same issue. I'm worried about my safety and others when driving. Please do not hesitate to contact me regarding more information.
I was driving home from work one night and after leaving gas station pulling out of parking lot I was stopping behind car in front of me when my engine stalled so I put car in park and restarted it only to move about five feet when engine stalled again was able to restart and get out onto highway until I came to a red traffic light as I proceeded to stop engine stalled again after restarting it no issues all the way home two days later I was heading out of work to get lunch and coming around a jug handle car engine stalled again restarted and made it back to work. Now I am writting to try and solve this dangerous issue at hand.
