As I was backing into a parking space, the steering wheel locked up, I couldn't turn the steering wheel in either direction and the steering wheel light with the exclamation mark came on.
This morning while leaving for work on a city street, my steering wheel locked, and the steering indicator light along with the traction control light came on. At the time, I was driving approximately 15 mph, and I was in the process of turning. After reviewing similar instances online, it is apparent that this is a common issue with these vehicles. This is extremely dangerous, and could be deadly. It's unacceptable that a recall has not been issued. I called Hyundai customer service, and was advised that since the vehicle is out of warranty my only option is to bring it to the dealer and pay for an inspection and repairs myself. This is a manufactures safety issue, and it needs a recall. I called the dealer and was advised that I can bring the car in and pay for an inspection, but they would probably need to duplicate the problem. Why has nothing been done about this?? is Hyundai waiting for people to be severely injured or even killed?.
As I was driving yesterday. A steering wheel light which an explanation point next to it popped up and then as soon as it did my steering wheel got hard and would not turn. Thankfully I was on a small road and able to drive off to the side safely or else who knows I could of been on a bridge and flew off due to not being able to turn the steering wheel at all! I would hope this could be fixed as a recall seeming as it has happened to many people.
