Steering Is Tight Problems of Hyundai Elantra

I was driving home power steering went out light came on eps I had a problem steering almost run into another car a few times. This just happened wed 4/5 /2023. I have not taken it to a dealer yet because of a dental emergency that same day. I can call the insurance mon 4/10 /2023. No one looked at the vehicle I may have to tow it not sure yet. I got no warning that the power steering was going out. But the eps light came on afterwards. Power steering was hard to drive the car. Also I never received any recalls on my vehicle by phone or email or regular mail from noone. Yes someone can inspect the vehicle upon request.

I took my car in for service for recall 127 on 4/24/2020. The recall was to fix the steering failure. After the recall work was completed, my steering has gotten worse. It is hard to steer at highway speeds, gets in a stuck position going straight which requires effort to "unstick" and then you over steer. At slow speeds backing out and turning out of my carport the steering is way too tight, there is definitely something malfunctioning this is still an issue and another recall needs to issued. I contacted Hyundai and they didn't seem very concerned.

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.

Steering column coupling is bad due to which I hear the noice when I turn the steering. Also I feel that steering is hard to maneuver.

Steering wheel is getting hard to turn at times. It feels like it is sticking while driving.

Steering is quite tight at times on slow turns; however, when full speed 0-70, seems the power steering is cutting off and on and sticking. Going around a curve causes the steering to tighten up and it takes massive effort to bring it back center, and sometimes this causes you to over correct which is a safety issue. It's like a sticking sensation in the wheel, pulling. Tires are good, alignment is amazing. None of this makes any sense. Acceleration from 0-45, you have to pedal to the floor to accelerate which is a new issues that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. I just bought this car March of 2019, and have only owned it for 7-months. I do have an extended warranty.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while driving 54 mph, the service lights indicators illuminated. The contact stated vehicle front head lights went off. The steering wheel was tight when trying to turn in either direction. The contact pulled to the side of the road and tried to turn head lights on and off, but failed to respond. The contact continued driving when vehicle stall on middle of highway. The vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was rolled to contacts residence home. The vehicle was not towed. The contact called van Hyundai located at (1301 s interstate 35e, carrollton, TX 75006 (972) 437-8334) the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was not available. As.

59,600 miles in car. Parked car for night, next morning turned vehicle on and eps and esc off lights were on. Vehicle had no power steering and was hard to turn if not moving. Recall on eps software was done 11 months ago. Took to dealership where problems were diagnosed as bad sensors. That's not bad until they tell you sensors themselves cannot be replaced and you need to have a complete new steering column installed at $2,500. Yes the car is 8 years old, but only 59,600 miles. Looking at complaints, this is a problem Hyundai should address.

There is an issue with the airbag light in the main dash console staying on. Was concerned airbags would not deploy in accident. Had vehicle serviced at dealership. Dealership informed me that the clock spring in the steering wheel is too tight/defective and there is a 50/50 chance airbags will deploy in an accident. My vehicle just went out of bumper to bumper warranty. If there is any question that the airbags will not deploy due to this manufacturing issue then I believe it should be covered under a recall.

Since we have purchased this vehicle, it continually pulls and drifts to the left. We have to fight to keep it on the road at all times. So far the sway bar (link) has been replaced in the front and new tires put on. All this has been absolutely to no avail. There are several videos on youtube that show this exact problem people have been experiencing with this same make, model, and year Hyundai!! apparently this is a common problem and it is very dangerous when trying to steer the vehicle and the wind is blowing across the interstate. Also, when we had the vehicle looked at with one of our own mechanics, and not the dealership's mechanics, he put it up on the lift and could hardly turn the wheels. He commented that the steering was as tight as if the vehicle was a truck!! there is something very wrong with the steering that could easily lead to an accident.

The car pulls to the left/right. The steering wheel is sticky. When the wheel is left straight, it will go straight but a small turn to left/right results in very jerky and unsafe ride for higher mileage speed. It is incredibly difficult to drive for longer period of time and on icy roads due to driving behavior. Hyundai says it is because of the electronic power steering. I don't care if it is that. It jerks to left/right while driving which is painful. I have changed tires and brakes thinking those were the culprit. This needs to be fixed before someone gets in a wreck and die.

There are several issues with this vehicle 1. Steering- the electric steering makes this vehicle hard to maintain a straight line on the freeway. The auto steering or self correcting steering is dangerous and should have an off switch. 2. Traction control- the traction control is dangerous in ice,snow and rain. It has the opposite effect in these conditions, it would safer and would have more control if it is simply turned off. 3. Stalling- the vehicle stalls very easy, but I believe it due to saving gas at idle with lower rpm. (manual transmission) requires more gas when starting from a stop than any vehicle I've have owned. 4. Tps- tire pressure sensor never works always says there is an issue even after replacing sensors. These problems are constant since purchase!.
