2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Steering Problems

The EPS light started coming on intermittently back in Nov. 2025 and power steering became very difficult. I could get it to reset by turning off the car and turning steering wheel all the way to right and then left and then back to center and restart. The steering ability returned but the light eventually came back on. I had Firestone look at this in Nov. and they recalibrated but advised if problem returned that I should contact dealer due to recall for 2010 Elantras for same issue. The light came back on this weekend. I note the recall is for Elantras manufactured through April 30, 2010. My car was manufactured June 20, 2010…. 6 weeks after the dates of the recalled models. Clearly this issue is affecting my car also. I plan to call the dealer and try to get them to look at it and see if they will repair under the recall… but I wanted to report this to you also since is affecting models outside the original recall dates.

The vehicle is subject to manufacturer recall #127. I brought it to two different dealerships for the recall repair after confirming in advance that they had the necessary parts. However, after dropping off my vehicle, I was informed a few hours later that the dealership did not actually have the parts needed for the repair. I contacted Hyundai’s service center to escalate the issue, but they refused to take further action. Instead, they repeatedly instructed me to reach out to other dealerships. After contacting several other dealers, I was told that they either did not have the parts or the system capabilities to perform the recall repair. Despite my efforts, Hyundai has refused to escalate this matter to upper management, leaving the issue unresolved.

My car catched on fire after my steering wheel light keep coming on and off and my Abs and break light was on couple days before it catched fire .

When I was driving, the electronics steering light came on. The car started pulling hard to the right. Then stopped and drove normal but the light was still on. I park the car the next day the light was off drove fine Then it came back on and was doing the same thing.I brought it to the mechanic he recalibrated the steering. Worked for about a week , then it came on started doing the same. This is a very scary and not safe. When you're driving and you lose steering for no reason. It gets expensive, bringing it to the Mechanic trying to figure it out. This has happened two times and now the second time the car is going to the mechanic to fix this.

EPS Electric Power Steering warning and unable to steer to drive. I was quoted $3,200 to repair.

My 2010 Elantra just started making a clicking noise when slightly turning the steering wheel back and forth. Doing online research, I discovered it is a common problem on Hyundai, with the same symptoms as my problem, that there is a rubber star damper gear in the electronic motor system inside the steering column that fails, it completely falls apart, and is very common defect in these vehicles. No warning lamp was illuminated. I am now stuck without a car that I can not drive for fear the whole steering may fail. Because it involves the steering, Hyundai is putting all our safety at risk knowing there is a problem with this “cheap rubber” gear part that controls the steering and is prone to failing. The fix is around $800. Many people have complained on UTube comments. Hyundai should be made to recall and fix all these defective Hyundai vehicles. As a safety authority, NHTSA should stop unsafe vehicle production practices when uncovered and dealers force to fix them all.

I started my 2010 Hyndai Elantra and started backing out of parking space and the power steering failed. I could not move the car as steering was impossible. Restarted the car 2 minutes later power steering worked. Later that evening same thing happened while backing out of my driveway and now there is now power steering at all. Milage on the car is approximately 88,000

After diagnose, DTC C1604 ECU hardware error and DTc C2412 motor short or open malfunctioning, recommended replace EPS system

On July 25, 2023, I was driving in our town when I heard a noise coming from the rear of the car. I was very close to a repair facility that I sometimes use, so I slowly drove there. They looked at the car and showed me that the rear driver-side wheel was about to fall off. They then raised the car in the shop and told me that the rear upper-control arm had rusted through and broken, causing the wheel to break off. They showed me a photo of this. I was also told that had this happened on a highway at a higher speed, there could have been fatalities because control of the car would have been seriously affected. I contacted Hyundai about this and they told me to take to a dealer to be looked at. I refused to pay for this inspection and I now do not trust Hyundai.

The steering column makes clicking sounds when turning either way. Started approximately June. No lamps on. Noted previous recall on steering coupler. The contact stated after being told the coupler in steering column was replaced once records were picked up from dealership there was no mention of it. The dealership refused to fix problem and had to pay elsewhere for replacement.

As I was driving, the steering wheel and brakes locked up so I couldn't steer nor brake. Luckily I was in a parking lot so I cruised the vehicle to a stop without crashing. If I had been on a road or turning, I would have crashed. No indicator lights went on. I took the car to a Hyundai dealership where they couldn't find any problems and recommended I replace the steering column. I searched online and several others have reported a similar issue.

- While driving the car, suddenly the steering became very tight. I barely managed to avoid an accident and took the vehicle to side. At this time EPS light also turned on. - Since then the issue has been random. Sometimes EPS light will turn off and steering will work properly, but then suddenly it will become very tight and EPS light comes on. It has been random. - Car is driven only ~30k miles - Took Vehicle to dealer and then diagnosed it to be issue in EPS motor and was advised whole steering column to be replaced (cost of $2800). - Contacted Hyundai and they are refusing to do anything about it other than I can replace steering column at my own cost. - This is clearly a quality issue from Hyundai and causes safety issues while driving.

Jerky steering action for last month. Now EPS light has come onto dashboard.

EPS or Electric Power Steering stoped working in the middle of the intersection when I tried to turn left. Vehicle became uncontrollable and I had to stop in the middle of the intersection. Everyone started honking and several lights changed before someone approached and helped me just to park the vehicle right after the intersection. There was no lights or any warning that this will happen. I was lucky not to get injured because of this car malfunction. I contacted Hyundai and they confirmed there was recall with that particular problem! Recall numbers 931 and 127. But since than they are very unprofessional and not interested in fixing this issue! I feel like they have 0% interest in helping their customers! Second issue that persists for longer time are seatbelts. They pop open in random moments of driving! They don’t stay locked the whole drive and I feel unsafe in my Hyundai! I called Hyundai the same day ( May 20th) I almost crashed because of well known recall on bad design EPS , and today August 10th , other than exchanging few emails, they didn’t help me at all! I’m really disappointed with Hyundai safety and customer care, and I don’t recommend to anyone to buy and own Hyundai !

I took the car to the dealer to perform the recall repair for recall 127 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V100000 in April 2020. The recall required replacement of the power steering motor controller 56300-2H250 with 56310-2H250QQH. In August of 2020, I removed the steering column and inspected the power steering motor controller that is currently in the car. The motor controller is still 56300-2H250, see attached photo. This should have been replaced with the recall, but the dealer did not replace it as per the attached TSB.

My 2010 Elantra was recalled for defective steering coupler. About 2 months ago the steering collar started to click when the steering wheel was turned. I checked and there was a recall for this. When I went to Delray Hyundai in Delray Beach, Fl I was told I would have to pay approximately $440 to have the collar replaced. I don't understand why I should pay for a recalled item that just failed the previous week. I feel I should be entitled to a full refund from Delray Hyundai for the repair. I had no choice in paying since they had the car and I didn't want my wife to drive it in this condition.

In February of 2021, I took my Hyundai in for several recall services, including 15V100000. || In the following months, my car began to lose power steering capabilities either on ignition or while driving. Losing power steering while driving was extremely dangerous and the risk of an accident was obvious, requiring me to pull off of the road or take an exit several times. The power steering eventually failed entirely on 5/5/2021. || At this point, I ran diagnostic scan that returned the code C1604, with a definition of "ECU Hardware Error". || I scheduled an appointment with the same dealership that did the recall service and they determined that the issue was that the "power steering has [an] internal failure." This leads me to believe that they are referring to the electric power steering torque sensor, a key component identified in the 15V100000 recall. However, they were unwilling to cover the cost of repair ($2,990 + tax) because I had already completed the recall service. || Investigating online forums (https://www.carproblemzoo.com/hyundai/elantra/2010/steering-problems.php) showed me that there are a considerable number of people having the exact same, often life-threating, issue and are also being told by Hyundai that there is no coverage because they had the recall service completed. This is asinine as the issue only occurred for me after their recall service was completed, meaning the service either doesn't avoid or doesn't resolve the issue that lead to the 15V100000 recall in the first place. || As far as I can understand, the torque sensor was faulty as a result of Hyundai's manufacturing and the 15V100000 recall did not provide a solution to the problem. It was a false prescription and, in my opinion, the real issue would cost Hyundai too much money to fix so they are attempting pull their life-endangering vehicles off of the road by unfairly gouging their own customers.

I HAVE EXCESS PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL/BUMPING/CLICKING, WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. THIS CAUSES A SHIMMY IN THE FRONT END WHEN BRAKING. THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES SO FAR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING. THERE IS NO EXCESS PLAY IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING. THERE IS EXCESS PLAY ANYTIME THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL MOVE SEVERAL INCHES WITHOUT MOVING THE FRONT WHEELS.

Mileage: 80,000

I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE TWO DOLLAR PART WITH VERY HIGH LABOR COST. THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2015 PROBLEM WAS OBVIOUSLY MISS DIAGNOSIS IT IS THE STEERING COUPLING. IT CAN CAUSE A LOST IF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS A TOTAL CASE SPECIALIST FOR KIA CONSUMER AFFAIRS THE COMPANY SHOULD BE TAKING CAR OF A LOT OF ISSUES THAT THEY TELL CUSTOMERS IT OUT OF WARRANTY OR YOU MISSED A OIL CHANGE SO THE WARRANTY IS VOID. I TOOK SEVERAL IF THE CALLS THAT VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. NHTSA YOU SHOULD BE FOR CONSUMERS YOU HEAR THE SAME COMPLAINT OVER AND OVER FROM OWNERS OF KIA AND HYUNDAI . MOST OF THERE CARS ARE CRAP I GOT THE SAME CALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUES OVER AND OVER

IT SEEMS THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM SO I WILL KEEP IT BRIEF. MY CAR HAS 150000 ON IT. THERE IS A CLICKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE EPS. THE CLICKING HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING OR PARKED. AT ALL TIMES. I WENT INTO A DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW STEERING RACK. THE REPAIR COST MORE THAN THE CAR'S VALUE. I WENT IN TO HAVE REPAIRS FOR RECALLS IN 2018. I'M WONDERING IF THEY ACTUALLY FIXED IT BECAUSE THE EPS WAS ONE OF THE ISSUES.

Mileage: 13,000

"EPS" ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING LIGHT ON. DEALER WONT COVER IT. I WILL LOSE STEERING EVENTUALLY THEY SAID. HYUNDAI MAIN OFFICE SAID CAR IS TO OLD AND HIGH MILES 94,000 MILES 2010 ELANTRA. I DONT KNOW THE EXACT DATE BUT LESTER GLENN IN TOMSRIVER NJ KNOWS.

THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED MAKES CLICKING NOISE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT BACK IN 2015 NOT SURE IF IT WAS REPLACED THEN. I WAS TOLD THEY CANT FIX IT THE RECALL BACK FROM 2015.

IT IS AN OUTRAGE THAT HYUNDAI DOES NOT RESPOND TO THIS ISSUE AND THAT NHTSA IS LETTING THEM GET AWAY WITH IT. THERE IS A SMALL PLASTIC ITEM WHICH SELLS FOR ABOUT $6 ON AMAZON WHICH IS FAILING ON A HUGE NUMBER OF HYUNDAI VEHICLES. I AM REFERRING TO THE STEERING COUPLER. IT IS CAUSING A CLICKING WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR NOT. IF NOT ADDRESSED IN A TIMELY MANNER, APPARENTLY THIS CAN LEAD TO STEERING FAILURE. I BELIEVE KIA WAIVED THE 100,000 MILE LIMITATION ON THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS ITEM, HYUNDAI REFUSES TO DO SO. IT IS LABOR INTENSIVE, REQUIRING THE REMOVAL OF THE STEERING SYSTEM AND DEALERS CHARGE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO DO THE JOB. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT AGREED THAT SINCE THIS PART'S FAILURE IS SO COMMON, NHTSA OUGHT TO COME IN AND FORCE HYUNDAI TO FIX IT IN ALL THEIR VEHICLES, EVEN IF THEY HAVE OVER 100,000 MILES ON THEM.

Mileage: 117,000

MY 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA'S STEERING WHEEL STARTED CLICKING. SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE EPS LIGHT TURNS ON. I WAS WORKING AND COULD NOT TAKE IT IN. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT A FEW DAYS LATER AND ON MY WAY MY CAR STARTED LOCKING WHILE STEERING ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HIT A PARKED CAR. MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME NOTHING IS COVERED. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.

EPS LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A TOTAL COST OF $2500 APPROX (REPLACE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN). CAR HAS ONLY 113K. NOW I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. THERE WAS A RECALL TO UPDATE THE EPS CONTROL UNIT WHICH MY MECHANIC SAYS IS JUST A PATCH AND NOT A REAL FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON A LOT OF HYUNDAI VEHICLES. MY POWER STEERING WAS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AND IS NOW COMPLETELY OFF, MY CAR WAS PARKED.

Mileage: 113,000

THE EPS LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON ONE DAY. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR, SO I WENT TO A NEARBY MECHANIC FIRST. HE INFORMED ME THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY STEERING COLUMN AND AN OPEN RECALL FOR MY VIN. HE ENCOURAGED ME TO GO TO A DEALERSHIP AND SEE IF THE RECALL WAS CONNECTED TO THE STEERING ISSUE. I WENT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE EPS LIGHT CAME BACK ON. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, THE AIRBAG LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. I PARKED THE CAR FOR FEAR OF A POSSIBLE INCIDENT. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER INITIAL DIAGNOSTICS, I WAS INFORMED THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE TECHNICIAN WANTS TO START THE AIRBAG FIX BY REPLACING THE SENSOR UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. EACH REPAIR WAS OVER $2,000 WITH MY GRAND TOTAL BEING JUST OVER $4,800 AND NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL BE SAFE TO DRIVE AT THAT POINT. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT BOTH OF THESE ISSUES AND PEOPLE WITH UNDER 60,000 MILES DEALING WITH $2,000+ DOLLAR REPAIRS. IF THE STEERING GOES OUT, IT HAS CAUSED ACCIDENTS. THAT COUPLED WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT, WHICH NOTIFIES THE WHOLE AIRBAG SYSTEM HAS BEEN DISABLED, MAKES THIS CAR TOTALLY UNSAFE TO OPERATE. EVEN OUT OF THEIR WARRANTY PERIOF NOW, THESE WERE REPORTED ISSUES THAT I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED USED IN 2013. I CONTACTED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND MADE MY COMPLAINT. WHEN I RECEIVED A CALLBACK, I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE MY CAR IS OVER THE MILEAGE WARRANTY AND THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS, NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO HELP ME. THE $4,800+ REPAIR BILL IS MINE AND MINE ALONE.

RECENTLY, THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING FEW TIMES. IT HAPPENED ALSO WHILE STARTING THE CAR. THE EPS LIGHT WENT ON AND THE STEERING COLUMN WOULDN'T BUDGE. I TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, THE POWER STEERING WORKED UNTIL IT FAILS ON ROAD! I LOOKING ONLINE AND SAW RECALL # 127 ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS AND ACCIDENTS SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THERE WAS A STEERING COLUMN 'SOFTWARE UPDATE' RECALL IN 2015 DONE. I HAD NO ISSUE THEN. I GOT MESSAGE YESTERDAY SAYING IT WILL COST ME ABOUT $3,500 TO HAVE 'BURNT OUT' STEERING COLUMN FIX. THE STEERING COLUMN IS BURN OUT BECAUSE IT FAILS. THIS IS SUCH A CLEAR CASE OF MAJOR MALFUNCTION, EVIDENCED BY YOUR 2015 'SOFTWARE UPDATE' RECALL AND THE THOUSANDS OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS, ACCIDENTS AND HIGHWAY SAFETY INVOLVEMENT, THAT I AM STUNNED AND DISMAYED THAT HYUNDAI WON'T REPAIR IT. I AM ASKING YOU TO PLEASE CONSIDER HAVING THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN REPAIRED AT HYUNDAI EXPENSE. I RARELY DRIVE THE CAR AND WHEN I DO, I AM SO LIGHT ON IT. I SIMPLY CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE A CAR AT THIS TIME AND REFUSE TO PAY THAT KIND OF MONEY TO REPAIR THAT, WHICH IS IT THE FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURE. PLEASE CONSIDER MY REQUEST.

EPS LIGHT RECENTLY CAME ON. TOOK CAR TO THE DEALER, DEALER SAYS THAT THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN NEEDS REPLACED. CAR CURRENTLY DRIVES NORMALLY, BUT DEALER SAYS THAT POWER STEERING COULD BE LOST A ANY TIME. COST FOR REPAIR IS $3500.

THE EPS LIGHT IS ON AT 135,000 MILES. THE STEERING MAKES A CLICKING NOISE EVERY TIME YOU MOVE THE WHEEL . HAVENT GOTTEN IN CONTACT WITH HYUNDAI AS OF TODAY, BUT WILL BE WRITING TO THEM TO SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO DO BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS AND THE STEERING FREEZES, AS THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE CASE WITH OTHER FOLKS

MY STEERING WHEELS FEELS LIKE IT LOCKED. IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT FEELS FIRM IN PLACE UNLESS I TURN IT REALLY HARD WITH FORCE AND IT'S MOVES THE VEHICLE SLIGHTLY TO THE DIRECTION I TURN TOO. IT'S USUALLY HAPPENS RANDOMLY SO I CAN'T PREDICT WHEN IT WILL LOCK IN PLACE. THERE'S BEEN A COUPLE OF TIMES WHERE I'M PARKED AND GETTING READY TO LEAVE AND AS I HEAD OUT OF MY PARKING SPOTS I GET STUCK BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IN RED LETTERS "EPS" SHOW UP ON MY DASHBOARD. THIS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I'M DRIVING NORMALLY IN THE FREEWAY. WHEN SIGN EPS SHOWS UP AND I HAVE TO PARK MY CAR ON THE SIDE WITH EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AND COMPLETELY TURN OFF MY CAR IN ORDER TO DRIVE NORMALLY AND FOR THE EPS LIGHT TO TURN OFF ON THE DASHBOARD. WHEN TURNING ON CITY STREETS, MY STEERING WHEEL ALSO LOCKS ITSELF IN PLACE AT RANDOM TIMES. THE TURNS ARE USUALLY WIDE AND AWKWARD BECAUSE I CAN'T MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN EPS IS ON THE DASHBOARD. HENCE WHY I TURN ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS THEN THIS OCCASION HAPPENS. I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT CARMAX IN THE YEAR OF 2015 BUT IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FREQUENTLY THIS YEAR.

STARTED THE CAR ON JUNE 24, 2019 WITH THE INTENTION TO GO TO WORK. THE EPS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE LIGHT DID NOT GO OUT AS USUAL. ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE WHEELS WERE VERY HARD TO TURN. BECAUSE THE WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN ENOUGH TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF THE CAR. IT WAS DEEM UNDRIVEABLE AND UNSAFE. THE CAR WAS AT HOME. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOW TO THE HYRNDAI DEALERSHIP ON JULY 2. 2019 AND AS OF JULY 14, THE CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP BEING REPAIRED.

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.

Mileage: 148,000

ON SATURDAY JUNE 15 MY EPS CAME ON. I LOOKED IT UP AND SAYS THERE IS A RECALL ON THE STEERING. TODAY JUNE 17 I CALLED HYUANDAI AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NO RECALL. I WOULD RECOMMEND ALL 2010 ELANTRAS GET LOOKED AT FOR A RECALL ON THE STEERING. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND DRIVING THE CAR VERY FAR TILL YOU GET IT CHECKED OUT. I STARTED THE CAR WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON SATURDAY

PEOPLES POWER STEERING IS BEING LOST. PLEASE READ ALL COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET AND CONTACT CORPORATE AT HYUNDAI. CAR HAS 97,000 MILES ON IT. EPS SOFTWARE UPDATED ON 5/7/2015 WITH 79,000 MILES. HYUNDAI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING ALL STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY, NOT THE CONSUMER AT OVER $2,400. BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS CAR, I CHECKED VIN AND NO OPEN RECALLS. I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR IF I KNEW OVER 300,000 VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED AND HYUNDAI WOULD NOT FIX!!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED.

RUBBER COUPLING FAILURE IN THE MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING (MDPS) ASSEMBLY A $2 PART WITH A $350 LABOR BILL. SAFETY INSPECTION STATION SAYS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH MAY RESULT IN FAILURE TO PASS INSPECTION. HYUNDAI NEVERTHELESS MAINTAINS THAT IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE (IN AN OBVIOUS ATTEMPT TO PREVENT A RECALL). THE PART HAS FAILED JUST BEYOND WARRANTY COVERAGE. I'M SOLICITING GUIDANCE ON HOW TO COVER REPAIR COSTS FOR A POORLY DESIGNED PART THAT SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL AND COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

THEY RECALLED EPS IN 2015 AND I WASN'T NOTIFIED. NOW THEY TOLD ME IT WAS STEERING COLUMN PROBLEM AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME OVER $2000 FOR THIS. THE DEALER WON'T EVEN USE THE EXISTING EXTENDED WARRANTY TO FIX MY CAR. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS VERY ANNOYING.

2010 ELANTRA HAS 37,000 MILES. I'VE HAD THREE EPISODES (ONE WITH MY 16 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER DRIVING) WHERE THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED ON CITY STREET. NO PRIOR INCIDENT KNOWN TO CREATE THE CONDITION. THUS FAR, ONLY WAY TO FIX PROBLEM IS TO TURN CAR OFF AND RESTART. NOT VERY SAFE. LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I HAD STRUGGLE TO DRIVE THE CAR INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT TO SAFELY TURN IT OFF AND RESTART.

IN 2016 I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR "STICKY" STEERING, IN WHICH THE DEALER REPLACED BUSHINGS IN THE STEERING COLUMN. ON 5/19/2018, WHILE DRIVING FORWARD AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND MY EPS LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON BUT IT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. AFTER HAVING A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT, WAS INFORMED THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE IT BECAUSE HYUNDAI HAS PROPRIETARY CODES ON THEIR EPS AND ABS SYSTEMS THAT DOESN'T ALLOW THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, FORCING ME TO HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOT HAVING THE FUNDS TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED 20 MILES TO THE NEAREST DEALER, I DROVE MY CAR WITH NO POWER STEERING TO THE DEALER. THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MY CAR HAS 84,000 MILES AND NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. THEY CAN NOT TELL ME THE REASON THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN HAS TO BE REPLACED BUT THAT IT DOES AT MY COST OF $2,500! I FOUND THE RECALL OF THE EPS BUT THAT IS ONLY REPAIRED WITH A PART, NOT THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE FOUND ONLINE HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH LOW MILEAGE ELENTRAS HAVING TO HAVE THEIR ENTIRE STEERING COLUMNS REPLACED AT THEIR COST. HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT PUTTING THEIR CUSTOMERS IN DANGER.

THE CAR CREAKS WHEN YOU GO AT A SLOW SPEED OR OVER A HUMP. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO MAKES A CLICKING OR KNOCKING SOUND WHEN STEERING IT AND WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT IT MAKES A CREAKING NOISE.

TOOK MY 2010 TO DEALERS FOR CLUNKING NOISE EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE 2 WEEKS LATER THE EPS LIGHT TURNED ON THEY WON'T LOOK AT IT UNLESS I PAY 150 FOR DIAGNOSIS PRIOR TO THIS THEY HAD A EPS RECALL

APPARENTLY, THERE WAS A RECALL ON HYUNDAI CARS AND I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. I BOUGHT MY HYUNDAI ELANTRA 2010 IN DECEMBER 2014. THE RECALL WAS PUT OUT IN FEB 2015. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ,MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SERVICING AND NO ONE HAS EVER TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS EVER A RECALL ON HYUNDAI MODELS. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM FAYETTEVILLE NC WHEN I WAS STATIONED AT FORT BRAGG. I AM NOW IN GERMANY. THE EPS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED GETTING ALL WOBBLY. I TOOK IT TO 2 GERMAN SHOPS AND I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. SO I TOOK IT IN. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON HYUNDAIS BUT I MISS THE DEADLINE AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY AROUND 4000 EUROS TO GET IT FIXED. SO IS THERE A WAY AROUND THIS SITUATION? I WASN'T NOTIFIED. NOBODY NOTIFIED ME. IS THERE A WAY TO GET AROUND THIS OR GET MY MONEY BACK?. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP HERE IN KAISERSLAUTERN GERMANY.

THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES CLICKING SOUNDS AS IT TURNS, SOUNDS AS IF SOMETHING IS BREAKING OR ALREADY BROKEN INSIDE. I LOOKED UP THIS ISSUE AND IT APPEARS TO BE FAIRLY COMMON IN MANY HYUNDAI VEHICLES. IT IS,AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I BELIEVE HYUNDAI SHOULD COVER THE COST OF REPAIR BUT APPARENTLY BASED ON COMPLAINTS I'VE READ, THEY DO NOT. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THIS CAN LEAD TO STEERING FAILURE IF I'M UNDERSTANDING WHAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT THIS. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR SO I'M HOPING IT WILL EVENTUALLY BE A RECALL. THIS CLICKING TAKES PLACES CONTINUALLY AS I DRIVE AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE ABOUT 53,000 MILES ON MY CAR.

THE STEERING COLUMN CONTAINS A HARD PLASTIC "COUPLER" AS PART OF THE POWER STEERING MOTOR. THAT HARD PLASTIC DETERIORATES OVER THE COURSE OF 5 OR 6 YEARS AND, WHEN IT FAILS, THE DRIVER WILL LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER THE CAR. ALTHOUGH THIS PART ON MY CAR HAS NOT YET FAILED, I CANNOT AFFORD THE $499 THAT THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE TO MAKE THIS REPAIR. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ITEM.

AT 59,894 MILES THE STEERING COLUMN FELT VERY UNATTACHED. WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT A PART HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE PART WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $345.10 LABOR AND $10.47 FOR THE PART. MY HUSBAND LOOKED UP ON THE WEB AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE ITEM AND QUESTIONS WERE ASKED HYUNDAI CONSUMERS AFFAIRS ( CASE # 9600787) TO NO AVAIL. MY HUSBAND ORDERED THE PART OFF EBAY AND FOUND THAT THE MATERIAL WAS NOT THE SAME THAT THEY REMOVED FROM MY CAR ( THEY GAVE ME THE OLD PART). THE NEW PART LOOKED THE SAME AS THE OLD ONE, EVEN HAD THE SAME NUMBER BUT IT WAS MUCH FIRMER AND MORE RIGID THAN THE ORIGINAL PART. I ASKED HYUNDAI CONSUMERS AFFAIRS SEVERAL TIMES IF THIS PART WERE NOT REPLACED COULD IT LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. NO REPLY. READING ON THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON 60,000 MILE PROBLEM ON THIS CAR AND SEVERAL OTHERS IN THE HYUNDAI/ KIA CORRAL. I BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD NEVER BE A STEERING PROBLEM IN EVERY CAR PRODUCED BY MANUFACTURER FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR AND THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD COME TO A FIX THAT PROVIDES SAFE DRIVING ON ALL ITS CARS FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR WHICH SHOULD BE MORE THAN 60,000 MILES. IN MY 45 YEARS OF DRIVING I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH POOR QUALITY WHICH COULD HAVE DIRE CONSEQUENCES.

VEHICLE WAS TOOK IN TO DEALERSHIP LAST 4/22/2015 FOR EPS RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V100000 AND HYUNDAI RECALL 127. THEY COMPLETED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE RECALL DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM ON 5/26/2016 WAS DRIVING THE 2010 ELANTRA AND EPS LIGHT CAME ON CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CAPABILITY. CALLED HYUNDAI THEY SAID IT WAS NOT PART OF RECALL TAKE TO DEALER. DEALER ON 6/1/2016 STATED THAT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS DONE BUT DID NOT FIX EPS STEERING ISSUE AND WOULD NEED TO REPLACE STEERING COLUMN $2150. THE RECALL OBVIOUSLY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE HAVE NOTICED MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IF A RECALL IS TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE RECALL SHOULD BE DONE FULLY AND CORRECTLY NOT CHEAPLY AND HALFWAY. THE EPS CAUSES STIFF STEERING MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR A PERSON TO STEER. THIS COULD LEAD TO MANY ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLY DEATH. THE LIGHT COMES ON AND IMMEDIATLEY WITH OUT WARNING THE STEERING IS AUTOMATICALLY GONE. WHILE DRIVING I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE AFTER LOSING STEERING I TRIED MAKE A TURN OFF THE MAIN ROAD INTO A SUBDIVISION TO GET OFF THE MAIN ROAD. AS I WAS TURNING AT A VERY LOW SPEED BELOW 5 MPH I WAS UNABLE TO STAY IN MY LANE AND A CAR WAS EXITING THE SUBDIVISION. ALTHOUGH THERE WOULD BE MINOR DAMAGES, THIS COULD BE DIFFERENT IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AT AN EXIT COMING AROUND A TURN. THE LOSS OF STEERING IS UNSAFE AND I DO HOPE THAT THE RIGHT MEASURES ARE EVENTUALLY TAKEN TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 45000 MILES ON IT.

I BELIEVE IF THIS KEEPS GOING THE SKELETON OF THE STEERING WHEEL WILL BE EXPOSED. I AM ATTACHING PICTURES OF THIS.

WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, THERE WAS A KNOCKING SOUND AND A SLIGHT HESITATION WAS FELT IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EPS SYSTEM WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED AND UPDATED. THE STEERING COUPLING WAS ALSO FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

ON JULY 15TH I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR AND THE ESC LIGHT AND THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING LIGHT BOTH CAME ON. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER THE CAR. I CALLED MY MECHANIC AND THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE SHOP. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE COMPUTER CODE FOR THE EPS WAS NOT IN THE SYSTEM. THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN DRIVE FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO REPROGRAM THE SYSTEM. THE FOLLOWING DAY I AGAIN ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE CAR AND THE SAME LIGHTS (ESC AND EPS) CAME ON. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE POWER STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED. I SEE NO REASON THE POWER STEERING SHOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED ON A CAR THAT IN 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE EPS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMIANTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE LOWER STEERING COUPLER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V100000 (STEERING) BUT THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE REQUIRED REPAIR WAS IN ADDITION TO THE SOFTWARE UPDATE RECALL REPAIR THAT WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY I NOTICED THAT THE RED EPS COME ON ,AT FIRST I DIDNT NOTICE ANYTHING THEN I MADE A LANE CHANGE AND FOUND THE STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL I STRUGGLED TO PARK THE CAR IT TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD TO TURN THAT WHEEL AROUND A CORNER AND PARK IT,THIS SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND HOPEFULLY IT SHOULD PROMPT A HYUNDAI RECALL.

THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAD ITS STEERING LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED AS IT WAS ON AN APPROACH RAMP PREPARING TO MERGE ON TO WI STATE HIGHWAY 441 IN THE TOWN OF MENASHA, WI. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO GO INTO THE GUARDRAIL SINCE THE STEERING WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED AT NOON ON A CLEAR DAY ON DRY PAVEMENT. WITNESSES TO THE ACCIDENT INDICATED THAT THE STEERING DID NOT RESPOND BEFORE THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE GUARDRAIL. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE DRIVER OTHER THAN MINOR BRUISES. NO OTHER CAR WAS INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT.WE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI AFTER THE INCIDENT BUT THEY DID NOT COME OUT TO EXAMINE THE CAR UNTIL AFTER IT HAD BEEN REPAIRED. EARLIER THIS YEAR WE RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT THIS SAME STEERING DEFECT WAS COVERED BY THE RECALL ANNOUNCEMENT. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED AS PART OF THIS RECALL. HYUNDAI HAS CONTINUED TO DENY ANY FLAW THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS ACCIDENT.

Mileage: 45,380

I NOTICED WHEN TUNING THE STEERING WHEEL, THAT IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS A BALL ROLLING BACK AND FORTH IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT MADE A STRANGE SOFT "THUD". I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS PROBABLY THE STEERING COLUMN COUPLER GOING BAD. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO AGREED WITH THE DIAGNOSIS AND HE ALSO PRINTED OUT A TECHNICAL SAFETY BULLETIN STATING THAT THE COUPLER IS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED IF A "THUD" OR "CLICKING NOISE" APPEARED. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT AT THE SAME TIME I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER REGARDING THE ELECTRONIC STEERING SOFTWARE. THE RECALL STATES THAT THE COMPUTER COULD GET CONFUSED AND STOP THE POWER STEERING WHICH WOULD RESULT IN THE MANUAL STEERING OF THE VEHICLE. SINCE I WAS OUT OF THE 50K MILE WARRANTY THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REPAIR THE STEERING COUPLER UNDER WARRANTY. IT WILL COST ME $260 TO GET THAT REPAIRED. THE STEERING SOFTWARE IS BACK ORDERED AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO GET THAT FIXED UNTIL AFTER MAY 22ND. I FEEL THAT THE STEERING COUPLER ISSUE IS DANGEROUS IN THAT I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE ONCE IT FINALLY GOES BAD. I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

Mileage: 50,683

I TOOK MY 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA IN BECAUSE THE EPS LIGHT WAS ON AND THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL. AT THAT TIME THEY INSPECTED IT AND ALSO REPLACED THE STOP LAMP SWITCH FROM A PREVIOUS RECALL. THE POWER STEERING HAD GONE OUT ONCE PRIOR BUT RESOLVED ITSELF AND I HAD NOT BROUGHT IT IN. WHEN I DID BRING IT IN ON 5/ 14/14 THERE WAS NO SERVICE PERFORMED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN ON 6/2/14 BECAUSE AGAIN THE EPS LIGHT WAS ON AND THE POWER STEERING WAS NON-FUNCTIONAL. MY CAR WAS ONLY 8,000 MILES OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY AND IN SPITE OF RESEARCH ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE I PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR WHICH WAS QUITE COSTLY. THIS IS NOT A WEAR-AND-TEAR ISSUE IT IS A PRODUCT DEFECT. AS EVIDENCED BY OTHER MANUFACTURERS USING THE SAME PART/TECHNOLOGY AND ISSUING RECALLS. THE MALFUNCTION WAS INTERMITTENT AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

THE RIMS ON MY 5 YEAR OLD CAR LOOK LIKE IT WAS PARKED IN THE OCEAN THEY ARE RUSTING SO BAD AND THIS CAR HAS NEVER LIVED NORTH OF CAROLINA. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS DEFECT IS GOING TO CAUSE MY WHEEL TO FALL OFF ONE DAY. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED POPPING OR CATCHING WHENEVER I TRY TO TURN THE VEHICLE TO THE LEFT, BUT DEALERSHIP TELLS ME IT IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST, SO IT WILL COST $110 JUST TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. THE DRIVER?S SIDE WINDOW IS VERY HARD GOING UP OR DOWN (MAKES A LOAD THUD WHEN IT GETS TO THE TOP OR BOTTOM) AND I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO BREAK THE GLASS ONE OF THESE DAYS. THE DASHBOARD IS MUCH DISCOLORED (THAT STARTED AFTER ONLY 2 YEARS OF OWNING THE CAR). THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE THE METAL WRAPPING PEELING OFF CAUSING ME TO CUT MY HAND WHEN I GO TO OPEN THE DOOR. I FEAR THAT MY CAR IS A ?LEMON? AND I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AS THIS IS MY SECOND HYUNDAI (BOUGHT THEM BOTH BRAND NEW) AND THIS ONE IS A PIECE OF JUNK ? BUT THE DEALERSHIP WON'T HELP. *TR

NO MATTER MOVING OR STOPPED THE STEERING HAS A KNOCK OR CLICK. TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE CENTER, THE MECHANIC SAID THE ALIGNMENT IS CORRECT. ALL THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS TIGHT.

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WE NOTICED THE RED EPS LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. AT FIRST WE DIDNT NOTICE ANYTHING THEN WE MADE A LANE CHANGE AND FOUND THE STEERING WAS VERY VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. WHEN WE PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY THAT IS WHEN IT WAS FOUND THAT THE STEERING HAD DEFINITELY GONE. IT TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD TO TURN THAT WHEEL AROUND A CORNER AND PARK IT.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR TO A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT WHEN I WAS MAKING A TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT MOVE AND THE EPS LIGHT CAME ON. I STRUGGLED TO PARK THE CAR AND AFTER MY DR.

MY CAR HAD $6002.36 IN DAMAGE ON IT. THE UNIBODY ON THE CAR HAD TO BE PULLED AND SQUARED AND AN ALIGNMENT WAS ALSO DONE. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS HURT BUT WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN ONLY WORSE. WHEN IT WAS ONLY A LITTLE OVER FOUR (4) MONTHS SINCE IT WAS FIXED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR.

OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ON MY 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAS FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES - THE POWER STEERING STOPS AND THE EPS LIGHT ON THE DASH ILLUMINATES. LUCKILY I WAS ALWAYS CLOSE TO HOME AND NO ONE WAS HURT. IT HAPPENS UNDER ALL KINDS OF CONDITIONS, GOING UPHILL / DOWNHILL / 50MPH OR 5MPH / TURNING / DRIVING STRAIGHT - THERE IS NOT A SINGLE 'ROAD CONDITION' OR 'DRIVING CONDITION' THAT CONSISTENTLY TRIGGERS THE FAILURE. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO HYUNDAI IN CONNECTION WITH LAST YEAR'S 'STOP LAMP SWITCH' RECALL. I HAD HOPED THE PROBLEMS WERE RELATED - THEY ARE NOT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES (RUDE AND UNHELPFUL IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT). I HAVE HAD THE 'STOP LAMP SWITCH' REPLACED AS PART OF THE RECALL, AND ALSO THE 'AIR BAG CLOCKSPRING' REPLACED (WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR), AND THE STEERING 'RE-CALIBRATED'. SINCE THESE REPAIRS THE EPS HAS FAILED ON A FEW SEPARATE OCCASIONS, AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE MECHANIC TWICE MORE, AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHY THE EPS IS JUST SHUTTING DOWN. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY FATAL DESIGN FLAW. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND HOW TO SOLVE IT. BY NOW HYUNDAI HAS TO KNOW THIS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. *TR

Mileage: 46,000

LIKE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS, THE EPS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING SHUT DOWN, MAKING THE CAR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE DEALER CALIBRATED THE EPS WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR A CHARGE OF APPROXIMATELY $100. THINGS WORKED FINE FOR A WEEK, DURING WHICH TIME THE CAR WAS DRIVEN ABOUT 500 MILES, BUT THEN THE SAME PROBLEM RECURRED. THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 8,000 MILES BUT WAS STILL WITHIN THE FIVE YEAR WARRANTY TIME BY SEVERAL MONTHS. THE DEALER INFORMED HYUNDAI OF THE SITUATION, AND THEY APPROVED A "GOODWILL REPAIR" UNDER THE WARRANTY, WHICH CONSISTED OF RECALIBRATING AND REPLACING THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY AT NO ADDITIONAL COST, WHICH WOULD HAVE ORDINARILY HAD A CHARGE OF AROUND $2,000. I HAVE DELAYED REPORTING THIS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS TO BE CERTAIN THE REPAIR LASTED FOR A SIGNIFICANT LENGTH OF TIME. I ALSO WANTED TO REPORT, UNLIKE MOST OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, A RELATIVELY SATISFACTORY REMEDIATION OF THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM BY OUR DEALER AND HYUNDAI. NEVERTHELESS THIS PROBLEM LOOKS TO BE COMMON ENOUGH AND CERTAINLY IS SERIOUS ENOUGH THAT IT SHOULD HAVE HAD AN OFFICIAL SAFETY RECALL. *TR

I HAD DRIVEN AROUND 2 MILES WITHOUT ANY ISSUE AND WAS WAITING ON RED TRAFFIC LIGHT BEFORE ENTERING MY APARTMENT COMMUNITY. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I NOTICED THAT EPS INDICATOR HAS TURNED ON AND STEERING WHEEL IS JAMMED. THANKFULLY THE ROAD AHEAD WAS STRAIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE CAR SAFELY OVER THE CURB WITH EXTREME DIFFICULTY. I TRIED THE SEQUENCE OF COMPLETE STOP AND START MULTIPLE TIMES BUT IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THIS IS UTTERLY UNACCEPTABLE FAILURE WHICH HAS DEFINITE POTENTIAL OF RESULTING INTO ACCIDENT. *TR

Mileage: 35,500

EPS LIGHT COMES ON AND THE POWER STEERING WOULD SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPEN ABOUT FOUR TIMES AND I ABLE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF, RESTART AND DRIVE. THE LAST TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT HAPPEN AGAIN. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE CAR. FIRST TIME AT THE DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS JUST A COMPUTER UP-GRADE FOR $98. ONE WEEK LATER IT HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS TIME THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THE STEERING COLUMN NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A SENOR FOR $2,500 PLUS. WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS? I SEE ON THE INTERNET I'M NOT THE FIRST. WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO RE-CALL IF THIS SUCH AN ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN AN CRASH OR SOMEONE GETTING KILLED. IT CAN BE A GOOD THING IF I LOSE STEERING ON A HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF A RUSH-HOUR? *TR

I STARTED MY CAR AND THE EPS AND ESC OFF LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED, AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAD HAPPENED SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE USED IN 2011. THE FIRST TIME, SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING FIXED THE PROBLEM. I ALSO TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AT THE TIME, AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THE FIX WAS AN UPDATE TO THE COMPUTER. THE ISSUE DIDN'T APPEAR AGAIN UNTIL MAY 2014, AND THIS TIME THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO WORK EVEN AFTER MULTIPLE RESTARTS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE STEERING COLUMN HAS FAILED AN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND WILL COST $2100. NOT ONLY DOES THIS DEFECTIVE STEERING COLUMN THAT I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE CITATIONS OF IN THIS DATABASE PRESENT A POTENTIALLY LARGE EXPENSE TO HYUNDAI OWNERS OUTSIDE OF THEIR WARRANTY, BUT A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF THE STEERING FAILS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, AS I HAVE SEEN IN OTHER CASES. I WAS LUCKY IT WAS JUST IN MY DRIVEWAY. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI DIRECTLY ABOUT THIS, AND THEY COULDN'T CARE LESS, AND MOST CERTAINLY WOULDN'T COVER IT AS A DEFECTIVE PART, AS I AM 12K MILES OUT OF MY WARRANTY. THEY ARE CLEARLY IGNORING THE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY CONCERNS OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. BUYER BEWARE. *TR

THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOCK UP AND UPON TURNING OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD RESET ITSELF. I WENT AND SAW A MECHANIC , THEY ALLEGED TESTING THE VEHICLE FOR THE EPS PROBLEM HOWEVER NOTHING CAME UP AND THEY REFUSED TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE. , I CALLED HYUNDAI WARRANTY DEPARTMENT AND FILED COMPLAIN SINCE I JUST RUN OUT OF WARRANTY AND PRIOR TO THIS I HAD MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE AND LEFT WITHOUT REPAIRS BEING DONE DUE TO NO CODE SHOWING .I WAS TOLD I SHOULD GET THE ISSUES FIXED AND HOPE I MID BE REFUNDED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND A DEFECT ON THEIR PART WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND AT THE EXPENSE OF HYUNDAI. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT AS I EXPECTED MORE FROM THEM AND HAVE GOTTEN NOTHING BESIDES BILLS LEFT TO PAY FOR SOMETHING HYUNDAI KNEW WAS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE THEY HAD BEEN SELLING. WITH THE EXCUSE THEY CANT WORK ON A CAR UNLESS THE CODE IS SHOWING. WELL DEAR HYUNDAI THE LIGHT SHUTS OFF WHEN U TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE TO AN DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO LOCK AT THE ISSUE AND IT IS RIDICULES TO HAVE A RUN AROUND FOR A WELL KNOW ISSUE ON YOUR PRODUCT THAT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

23 MAY 2011, I OWN A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WITH 14,??? MI ON IT. AS I WAS ENTERING A CURVE ON PAVED ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILED. I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL USING EXTREME EFFORT AVOIDING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I PULLED OVER TO THE NEXT SAFEST AREA TO CALM DOWN AND REGAIN MY COMPOSURE. THE EPS LIGHT WAS ON AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD FOR ANY SIGN OF CAUSE OF FAILURE AND FOUND NOTHING. DROVE THE CAR STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE MANAGERS RESPONSE WHEN HE TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL WAS "OH MY". THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A LOANER CAR TO DRIVE SINCE THE ELANTRA WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 13 JUNE AND THEY SAID THEY REPLACED A SENSOR AND THAT DIDN'T FIX IT AND THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN. 20 JUNE 11, STILL WAITING ON REPAIR OF CAR. I RETURNED THE LOANER BECAUSE I NO LONGER TRUST ELECTRIC POWER STEERING NO MATTER WHAT ANYBODY TELLS ME. YES THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY AND THE PARTS CAN BE REPLACED. BUT, I AM THE SOLE PROVIDER FOR MY FAMILY, I DON'T HAVE A WARRANTY NOR ANY REPLACEMENT PARTS AND IT COST A WHOLE LOT MORE TO FIX ANY DAMAGES TO ME THAN IT DOES THAT CAR.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS CUT OFF BY ANOTHER CAR. I WAS TRAVELLING ABOUT 50MPH, I PROCEEDED TO BRAKE (DID NOT REQUIRE HARD BRAKING, BECAUSE ME SPEED WAS NOT HIGH) AND STEER TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID HITTING THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR THAT CUT ME OFF. MY CAR OVER COMPENSATED AND PROCEEDED TO SWERVE. IT TOOK A LOT TO REGAIN CONTROL. MY INITIAL STEER TO AVOID THE CAR IN FRONT WAS NOT SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE OUT OF CONTROL.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2010 ELANTRA. I SOON NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT, AND VERY SOON IT STARTED PULLING HARD TO THE RIGHT. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT ALIGNED. IT STILL PULLED RIGHT BUT IT WAS MUCH BETTER. SOON IT STARTED PULLING AGAIN, THIS TIME AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED, 65-70 MPH. (BEFORE IT WAS AT SLOWER RATES OF SPEED(25 TO 45 MPH?). AGAIN, I TOOK IT TO BE ALIGNED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY CHECKED TIRE PRESSURE, ROTATED TIRES, AND CHECKED ALIGNMENT AND EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT WITHIN SPEC. I DROVE HOME WITH AN "IN-SPEC" CAR THAT STILL PULLED RIGHT. IT EVENTUALLY GOT WORSE WITH A HARDER PULL TO THE RIGHT, SO I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, WHO CHECKED IT OUT AND CONFIRMED IT WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT, AND THE CAR DROVE WITH GREAT IMPROVEMENT, BUT IT STILL HAD A SLIGHT PULL TO THE RIGHT. I DROVE IT FOR A TIME WITH THE SLIGHT PULL, BUT IT GRADUALLY CONTINUED TO GET WORSE, SO I TOOK IT IN AGAIN TO THIS SAME DEALERSHIP. THEY AGAIN CONFIRMED IT WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT, AND ALIGNED THE CAR. I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND IT STILL HAD A SLIGHT PULL TO THE RIGHT. TWO WEEKS LATER, I TOOK THE CAR TO AN OUTSIDE SOURCE TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS STILL A PULL TO THE RIGHT, AND THAT THE STEERING WAS OFF AS WELL. I WILL BE MAKING YET ANOTHER APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR TO HAVE IT ALIGNED. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 8 MONTHS AND HAVE HAD IT ALIGNED 5 TIMES SO FAR.
