2010 Hyundai Elantra Complaint Log

THE AIRBAG WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT TURNED ON AND WOULD GO ON AND OFF, BUT WOULDN'T TELL ME WHETHER IT IS FOR THE PASSENGER LIGHT (WHICH HAS BECOME FAULTY SOMETIMES HAVING A FALSE POSITIVE OR FALSE NEGATIVE TO WHETHER THE PASSENGER IS THERE), BUT MOST RECENTLY HAS STAYED ON PERMANENTLY WITH THE PASSENGER LIGHT CORRECTLY READING OFF - IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER THAT MEANS THAT THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE OR IF THE DRIVER'S SIDE WOULD NOT DEPLOY. IT IS UNCLEAR WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG OVERALL AND IF THE CAR HAS SWITCHED OFF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE WARNING LIGHT HAS SWITCHED OFF A FEW TIMES SEEMINGLY INDICATING EVERYTHING IS FINE, HOWEVER IT NOW STAYS ON REGARDLESS OF WHERE DRIVEN. *TR

MY CAR CONTINUALLY WILL NOT START. I'VE HAD TO HAVE THE BATTERY JUMPED SEVERAL TIMES VIA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. I COULD DRIVE IT ONE DAY AND THE NEXT DAY, ITS DEAD. I EVEN BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY THINKING THAT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM, BUT THE ISSUE PERSISTS. I THINK THIS MAY BE A MAJOR ISSUE. THE CAR WAS ALWAYS PARKED. MY CAR INSURANCE POLICY ATTACHED HAS THE RECORD OF HOW MANY TIMES I'VE HAD TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO JUMPSTART THE CAT.

EPS LIGHT RANDOMLY CAME ON AGAIN AND LOCKED MY STEERING WHICH IS DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND PARKING, CAN'T MOVE THE STEERING LEFT OR RIGHT. ISSUE HAS OCCURRED BEFORE AROUND THE INITIAL EPS RECALL, TOOK IT THEN TO THE SAME DEALER (SPORT HYUNDAI DODGE) WHERE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED TO UPDATE OR PATCH UP FIX. RECENTLY WENT TO THE DEALER TO ALSO FIX THE ABS MODULE RECALL AND RUN A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE EPS. THEY STATED IT'S THE STEERING COLUMN THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A $2100 REPAIR, WHICH THEY WILL FILE WITH THE MANUFACTURE TO SEE IF IT'S COVERED. BY READING THESE REPEATING COMPLAINTS, SOMETHING TELLS ME THAT THEY WILL CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE PROBLEM TILL IT'S IN HARMS WAY INSTEAD OF PREVENTING THE SAFETY ISSUES. CURRENTLY HAD TO GIVE UP WORKING HOURS AND IN FINANCIAL STRESS OVER A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED CORRECTLY IN THE BEGINNING. *TR

A few months after I purchased this car the electric power steering (eps light ) light came on and so I looked up my vin number to see if the car has ever had any recalls and that was one of the recalls . And I was told that if a car has any recalls the manufacturer if required to fix it free of charge .

MY CAR HAS ALREADY HAD THE RECALL FOR THE STEERING WHEEL ISSUE COMPLETED IN 2015 BUT IT NOW MAKES A AWFUL CLICKING NOISE WHEN IT IS BEING TURNED.

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.

REC'D RECALL NOTICE. DON;T HAVE; NOT NOW OR EVER THE OWNER IF THIS CAR.. OWNER CLAIMED 2B FUTURE FORD ROSEVILLE CA WHICH IS PROVEN CRIMINAL ORG THAT ADMITS TO THEFT BY FRAUD UNDER PRETEXT THAT CREDIT EXEMPLARY PERSONS WILL "PAY ANYWAY" ON FORGED SALE DOCUMENTS. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT SAID VEHICLE OR T SOBEE EMPLOYEE.

INSIDE DOOR OPENING HANDLE ON DRIVER SIDE METAL COVERING IS PEELING OFF AND IS SHARP.

WE RECEIVED A LETTER IN REGARDS TO A SAFETY RECALL ON THE 2010 ELANTRA. WE OWN TWO OF THIS VEHICLE. I CONTACTED HUNTINGTON HYUNDAI, IN HUNTINGTON, N.Y. TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. AS PER JOE SANTIAGO WHO ANSWERED, THEY ARE NOT TAKING APPOINTMENTS FOR THIS REPAIR, AND WILL ONLY BE ACCEPTING VEHICLES ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS MONDAY - FRIDAY 9 AM - 5 PM. IT WAS EXPLAINED THAT WE MAY HAVE TO COME BACK MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS ACCEPTED FOR REPAIR. AS A FIRST RES PONDER I AM STILL WORKING DURING THE OUTBREAK AND WILL BE UNABLE TO TAKE MULTIPLE DAYS OFF FROM WORK TO "TRY" TO GET THE CAR IN. THEY WERE VERY UNHELPFUL AND UNNECESSARILY RUDE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CONVERSATION.

HYDROPLANED HEAD ON INTO A GUARDRAIL AND AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY DOING 23+ MPH. HIGHWAY GOING AROUND A TURN.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HYUNDAI REGARDING MY 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. A RECALL RELAY IN THE VEHICLES MAIN JUNCTION BOX. FOR THE ANTI- LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. IT WAS RECALL FEB 2020.RECEIVED THE LETTER APRIL 6,2020. THEY WAITED TO LONG TO SEND THE LETTER.

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.

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

THE CAR ALARM KEEPS GOING OFF WITHOUT ANY ACTIVITY ( PARKED AND LOCKED IN MY DRIVE WAY). I HAVE LOOKED THE CAR OVER BUT SO FAR I SEE NO REASON FOR THE ALARM TO BE TRIGGERED.

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.

Turned ignition off and used hand brake, damaging handbrake shoes. Had car towed to dealership in Debuque, Iowa. After a few days was told that the floor mat had come loose and wedged accelerator down. Removed mat. 24 months later car accelerated the same way, unwanted, with brake pedal not stopping the car. There is no car mat to get stuck. Turned ignition off and used handbrake. Will be bringing car to a mechanic.

EPS LIGHT CAME ON, ALMOST LOST CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. LATER I FOUND OUT ABOUT A RECALL. STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON ME. HAD TO PULL TO SIDE AS MUCH AS I CAN OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY.

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA MODELS. MANY OTHER HYUNDAI MODELS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR AIRBAG DEFECTS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON MY MODEL. CAR NOT SAFE TO DRIVING WONDERING IF AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND HYUNDAI HEADQUARTERS BUT BOTH STATED MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL. WHY?

MY RED AIR BAG NOTIFICATION ON MY DASHBOARD STAYS ON. WAS TOLD THIS MEANS NO AIR BAG COVERAGE. ALSO THAT IT IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. I AM DRIVING THIS BUT ONLY BECAUSE DEALERSHIP SAID I WOULD NEED TOO PAY FOR INSPECTION TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS THEN PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE I AM A SENIOR DRIVER AND NEVER HAD A TICKET BUT AM WORRIED THAT THIS MAY CAUSE IT TO DEPLOY ON IT'S OWN WHILE DRIVING. AS A SAFETY ISSUE I FEEL THIS NOT BE A CHARGE THAT I NEED TO COVER. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A POWER STEERING RECALL. ONLY TOLD ABOUT IT SOME TIME AFTER I PAID TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. NOW I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE HANDLED AS A SAFETY ISSUE BY THE DEALER NOT ME. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS REGARDING THE RED LIGHT ALERT HAPPENING AND NOTHING BEING DONE.

STEERING WHEEL VERY TIGHT,AND CLICKS WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL IN MOTION,AND WHEN STATIONARY THIS CAR WAS RECALLED IN 2015 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM

LOUD NOISE STARTED COMING FROM ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. TAKEN TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND DIAGNOSTICS INDICATED A BAD ENGINE

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER ALMOST RESULTING IN MY GOING OFF THE ROAD, WHEN I GO TO A PLACE THAT WAS SAFE TO STOP, I NOTICED THAT THE EPS LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED RED, AND THE ESC OFF LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED YELLOW. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND IT THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND REMAINED OFF DURING MY COMMUNTE HOME. WHEN I DROVE THE CARE YESTERDAY THE LIGHTS CAME ON AT START UP AND STAYED ON MY COMMUTE HOME. THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER TO STEER WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED, AND UNSAFE WHEN THE POWER STEERING CUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, AND A RECALL NUMBER #127 HAS BEEN ASSIGNED, BUT NO OFFICIAL RECALL TO DATE FOR MY VIN #.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH FRED BEANS HYUNDAI OF LANGHORNE (LOCATED AT 1106 E LINCOLN HWY, LANGHORNE, PA 19047, 888-754-7841); HOWEVER, THE CONTACT CANCELLED THE APPOINTMENT BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO FIND OUT IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN A RECALL FIRST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

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. CAR AT MYRTLE BEACH HYUNDAI 1887 HIGHWAY 501MYRTLE BEACHSC29577

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.

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU) SENSES A DISCREPANCY IN THE STEERING INPUT SIGNALS AND, AS A RESULT, DISABLING THE STEERING POWER ASSIST. MY YOUNG DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I SEE THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED IN CERTAIN MODELS OF THE SAME YEAR BUT NOT OUR VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND POWER STEERING ASSIST WAS LOST, GREATER EFFORT TO STEER THE VEHICLE AT A LOW SPEED.

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

AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH CAME ON AND WON'T SHUT OFF. AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY EVEN IN A CRASH WITH THIS LIGHT ON.

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.

"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.

RECALL 127.EPS SYSTEM NOT WORK PROPERLY. BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE FOR FIND IT.($131.00) I CALLED HYUNDAI COMPANY .THEY DONT GIVE ME POSITIVE ANSWER DEALERSHIP ONLY UPDATE SOFTWARE.WHICH IS NOT SOLVE PROBLEM.THEY TOLD THEY ARE NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM.HYUNDAI DOEST GIVE ME ANY POSITIVE ANSWER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA TOURING. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE EPS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SEARCHED THE VIN AND FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V100000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FITZGERALDS LAKEFOREST HYUNDAI (301-670-4800, LOCATED AT 905 NORTH FREDERICK AVE, GAITHERSBURG, MD 20879) WHERE THE EPS SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE REPAIRED FOR FREE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

STEERING WHEEL CLICKS WHEN DRIVING TURNING LEFT OR TURNING RIGHT OR GOING STRAIGHT

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.
