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.

My car had recently began to shake and buck violently while driving with no warning lights or indicators at 38,000 miles. Three weeks ago before a regular maintenance appointment at my Hyundai dealership where I bought the !car, as I turned over the ignition and accelerated the car began to buck and shake violently. As I pressed the gas, the car would not accelerate. I was in the middle of traffic in washington, d. C. So once I was able to safely move over, I turned the car off and back over. No shaking and continued as normal. Once I took the car in the following week, I was told everything was fine and made sure to mention the shaking and bucking and was told that they didn't see anything. The next day following service and receiving my car back, my car began to shake violently again. Still no warning light indicator. I returned the car to the mechanic where my coil packs were updated (I bought my car March 2017 and was never told about any recalls on coil packs that release late 2017 until this moment). Once I received my car back I was informed that everything was okay. Well it was not. The next day I'm driving my car a short distance when two hard shakes happened. One sounded like two metal pieces colliding. I pulled over and turned the car off and back over. The malfunction indicator light is now permanently on. I had to have my car towed and now being told it could be the transmission but no updates. Seriously unsafe and could've now been in multiple accidents although I've regularly serviced at the dealership I purchased my car.

I had a accident tried to brake quick my brakes skipped and I ended up hitting a van because I couldn't stop.

The car cuts off while driving. It stalls n traffic like it won't go n I almost have been hit several times. There is no check engine light on. Very dangerous n scares me when I drive cause u never know when it's going to cut off n traffic or while turning.

This is the second time this happens to me. The eps light turns on, the steering wheel gets tight. So the power steering disconnects from the engine. You literally can't steer. This last time it happened I was driving down a grade at night. If incoming traffic would of been coming I would have crashed into them or go down the cliff. The power steering was replaced once by dealer already less than a year ago. This car is un safe and I refuse to drive it any more. I was able to push it in neutral to the shoulder once I put it in park the car shook and it shut down.

I experienced the car idling rough while in park and sounding like it wanted to die out. I took to dealer and they replaced an ignition coil. The check engine light came on. Check engine light just came on again yesterday. . . Took it to autozone and they told me it was the ignition coil again. This will the 2nd time to have it fixed on my 2017. Seems like Hyundai vehicles have a ton of issues with ignition coils. After I got my car back it violently shook and check engine light came on. I was on the highway and the speed started to decreased. I reached out to Hyundai corporation about replacement vehicle . I still have not heard anything. I am not the only one with the faulty ignition coils.

Break lights keeps burning out constantly after replacing them.

Just bought the 2013 Hyundai Elantra, 12/21/2019, after about 100 miles of driving we noticed the steering wheel is off center. While driving in town and on highway shifting lanes it didn't want to go and it will pull hard left or right almost causing to run off the road. 12/25/2019, while on the way home I almost struck another car. More noticeable from 30 to 55 worse over 55. Driving on dirt road feels like it wants to fish tail. Steering is sticky yet a lot of play. Intermittingly while braking it sounds like scrapping like when your brakes are bad. Braking slowly or abruptly makes no change. Wet roads is worse with braking.

Stability control malfunction, I lose control and the brake applied unexpectedly and the crash my car I am ok but I have damage in my car. I went to dealer for this recall and they did not fixed now I dont know if they are going to pay for it.

Esc indicator is on on the dash board due to steering angle sensor circuit-signal issue.

When I pulled out of my drive way at about 5 mph and began increasing speed (10-15 mph), I felt like my front tires may have needed air. I checked my dash and confirmed that all the sensors for tire pressure were on and working and the air pressure seemed to be fine. I began to increase speed and by this time was traveling east bound at aprox. 55 mph on the hwy, when the front left tire suddenly felt loose. I wasn't sure if it was my tire or the road itself but before I could even switch lanes my tire seemed to jerk me over to the left side of the road. My back tire fell off the ledge of the hwy and caused me to pull the wheel to try to correct the imbalance but I didn't have enough time before the steering wheel was wandering off toward the left causing me to smash head on into a tree into the center divider.

The steering wheel has a click in it . The eps light and traction light came on at the same time went too the dealership but they said it wasn't a recall on this common problem it happen all at once at city speed.

While driving the car became difficult to steer almost resulting in my going off the road, when I go to a place that was safe to stop, I noticed that the eps light was illuminated red, and the esc off light was illuminated yellow. I shut off the car and it the lights went off and remained off during my communte home. When I drove the care yesterday the lights came on at start up and stayed on my commute home. This vehicle is extremely difficult to steer to steer when the lights are illuminated, and unsafe when the power steering cuts off unexpectedly while driving. There are many reports of this problem on the internet, and a recall number #127 has been assigned, but no official recall to date for my VIN #.

Car jerks into reverse hard. When going down road car loses power. Just acts like its not going anywhere. Very low miles onvthis car.

When driving at slow speeds on isde streets it is difficult to turn the vehicle, feels like steering wheel is about to lock up. There are recalls on 2017 hyundia Elantras but when I called they said not on my vehicle. I am having the same problem as other 2017 Hyundai Elantras but might isn't covered?.

The electronic power steering (eps) electronic control unit (ecu) senses a discrepancy in the steering input signals and, as a result, disabling the steering power assist. My young daughter was driving when this happened which could have caused an accident. I see this has been recalled in certain models of the same year but not our vehicle. Vehicle was in motion and power steering assist was lost, greater effort to steer the vehicle at a low speed.

When going at low speeds in traffic car shuts off after pressing break too much. Car shuts off in reverse. Car shuts off while making turns and hitting break simultaneously. Going over 60 mph causes car to shut off multiple times every few minutes or even seconds. (worst was 9 times in under 2 minutes) car shuts off slowing down to red light. Had car checked numerous times by mechanics. Noone can figure it out. No code comes up when plugged into computer at autoshop. Alot of other people have reported this issue with same make and model.

Dash warning light.

Vehicle air bags systems just went out. Also my electronic power steering system isn't working either.

Car was parked and locked with all systems off. Later I noticed brake lights on. Called Hyundai and informed them inquiring if there was a recall about this problem. They told me to take to dealer and have them perform diagnostic to determine cause. They said it was brake light switch. Dealer changed switch(2),relay. Problem still exist.

I recently had to slam my brakes due to a driver in front of me. And right at about a month later the acceleration to my car while in drive will not go. Took it to a mechanic and its reading a couple of codes t the sensors. I saw that in a search while trying to fix the issue that it has been recalled due to the esc. I am very upset that I was not made aware of the recall that is related to my VIN number. This happens at a parking lot near chuck e cheese on my sons birthday and I had to have it towed back home. I have not been able to use my car in a week now because we are still trying to figure out wich sensor it is and if I replace it what will even happen.

While steering or making turns there is a popping sound in the steering column and a hesitation.

As I was exiting the highway onto a sharp curved off ramp, unexpectedly the steering wheel became extremely difficult to turn without warning. This unexpected loss of my power steering almost put me into the roads guard railwhile navigating the off ramp. I was able to regain control and safely pull to the side of the road. I noticed the �eps� light was on. I shut of my vehicle and tried to trouble shoot it, which I was unable to do. I restarted the vehicle and the light went off and my sterring returned to normal power steering mode. The second time this happened my wife was driving the vehicle to the dealership so they could troubleshoot the eps issue, again the vehicle lost power steering with the eps light turning on. The vehicle is being taken to Hyundai of slidell for diagnostic testing. The dealer also stated that the VIN was excluded from a recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 15876848 the approximate failure mileage was 148,000.

My steering column makes an awful noise like a clicking noise the whole time I'm driving it really scares me but I have to drive it bc it's my only means of transportation. Now my break lights all the way across doesn't work and it's not a fuse. Last thing is my airbag light stays on also which scares me . Please some one help get these issues resolved quickly I'm the second owner so I probably haven't gotten the recalls about these issues. Please please help me . Thank you.

Parking brake warning light indicator on the dash board display: the parking brake warning light does not always display when the parking brake is engaged. This problem is intermittent and often causes a problem with driving. When the light does not display while the parking brake is indeed "on" the driver is not alerted by the warning light and expects to be able to drive the vehicle in the drive or reverse position. The causes a dangerous situation whereby pressing on the accelerator does not move the car as intended. It will not move from a stopped position, moves very slowly or lurches.
