Car loses power steering at random times, but mostly on the highway. Recall campaigns 143 and 097 are related to the issue and were looked at by the dealership and "fixed," however, I believe this to be a repeat campaign. I have taken the car to bill dube Hyundai in wilmington, MA and they said I would need a new steering column, and that it is not related to either recall. I spoke with Hyundai consumer affairs as well, and opened a case. Hyundai consumer affairs called the dealership, but the dealership told them the same thing they told me, that what is happening is not related to the recalls. I then had my local mechanic at king's auto in reading, MA look at the car. He believes that the car does need mdps assembly 56310-3q200-qqh. Research tells me that it seems a lot of other Hyundai Sonata owners have experienced the same problem with losing the power steering, which is obviously very dangerous. I believe Hyundai is not acknowledging the ongoing problem, and should fix this at no charge. Thank you.
When I was driving on a city street I lost all power steering and eps light and traction light came on. I pulled over and tried restarting car still no power steering and lights. The car can only be steered manually now which is not safe.
I was driving and all lights began flashing on dashboard, steering wheel jerked and I lost power steering, was able to pull off road into a parking lot, turned the car off and it would not start back up.
Eps dash light came on and vehicle lost power steering assist steering. Vehicle was parked in a parking lot and this happened as the car was started when backing up out from the parking space.
