The passenger side door will not open from the outside also the passenger airbag light comes on and off by itself also the steering wheel is jerky and movement.
My vehicle has been experiencing this issue for a while now. At first, it showed the power steering signal but when I took it to the mechanic they said they couldn't diagnose the issue. I felt it was still safe to drive because it was a false signal. So, I kept using the car. But now the issue has become so severe to the point I can't use it because it may cause a crash. I didn't even know if I was gon make it home today. I took it to the mechanic (pep boys) today but they said they probably won't be able to fix it. Now it's parked at home. I do not know what to do. My car doesn't use power steering fluids, it's electrical. I hope I am the only one going through it because it very dangerous.
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.
The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and making turns, the power steering wheel became stiff and uncontrollable. The steering warning light was illuminated. The local dealer was notified who scheduled a service appointment. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was approximately 46000.
The power steering is totally out. Very hard to turn left or right, steering locks up and shakes hard when pressing on brakes, not safe to drive due to faulty power steering system. Took vehicle to Hyundai dealer July 2022 and was told after inspection of vehicle that I needed to pay to have the whole steering column replaced. Problem still exist and work has not been done. Now I see that their is a recall for this very same issue, so why are they trying to charge for a obvious recall? warning lights are on as well as the traction light. The lights came on and used to go off and now they stay on continuously.
Clunky noise on the steering wheel and lock up the steering wheel.
Had bought the vehicle at 72k miles, and drove fine for a few months before the engine started to sound like it was roaring (like the exhaust had came undone), shortly after vehicle started stalling and dieting turning left (have video evidence of this in parking lot) did not take vehicle in to be serviced as it seemed a lot of the time to be a one off issue but now the vehicle has lost a lot of low speed acceleration, and had begun knocking at 80k miles where it was looked at by an independent mechanic which stated that the engine was severely low on oil. Have been driving since as it is the only way for me to get back and forth to work and the problems have been getting worse to the point the vehicle will refuse to start, or just act like it’s lost a gear and is stuck in neutral.
The contact's uncle owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while the owner was driving at an unknown speed, the steering wheel seized and failed to turn left or right. The owner stated no warning light was illuminated. The owner restarted the vehicle and was able to continue driving to his destination. The owner took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the steering wheel trim to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but continued to experience the failure. The contact took the vehicle back to the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.
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.
The 2017 Hyundai Elantra value edition has issues when and after making left turns the vehicle stalls and loses power causing the cluster to light up. Which can be extremely dangerous when operating the vehicle. There is no check engine light or any indicator that turns on prior on the cluster before the vehicle stalls. The intermediate steering shaft is notorious for going bad and had to have it replaced.

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.
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 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.
Steering really bad car pulls both ways on the highway makes weird noise when taking off and accelerating and car randomly dies.
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?.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Leased the new Hyundai Elantra se on June 28th 2017 and on august7 2017 the dealer called and was told the car has been recalled and has to be serviced. The recalls were from feb2017 and April 2017 and never repaired. I was leased this car as new with two existing recalls and never been informed.

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.
