2017 Hyundai Sonata electronic power steering failed while I was making a turn on 7/25. Once the vehicle is turned off and back on it works. I notice that there is a pop like a potential gear or internal part is broken when turning the steering wheel from left to right and vise versa. It has sense happened everyday following the first event. This seems to be a complaint made by several people and I see no recall as of yet. Hyundai has addressed older vehicles with the same problem and issued a recall but nothing as of yet for 2017 or newer. Had this happened while I was on the interstate or making a sharp turn on a mountain road, as I typically do, it could have forced me into the next car, wall, or even off of a mountain side.
3 times after stopping at a stop sign, power steering failed when accelerating (0-10 mph). Turned car off then on, steering was fine. Dealership could not find a code set or reproduce problem.
Just after beginning my drive home, on a suburban street, warning light for power steering came on and within about 1/4 mile the power steering failed and the steering wheel seized up. I was fortunate to be just able to turn on onto a side street as I could no longer control the car. Car was a rental car and only had 37k miles on it.
On three separate occasions, each while driving a very low speed (at or about 10 mph), the power steering failed. One incident was in supermarket parking lot, the other two incidents on a public road within a corporate park.
