2015 Hyundai Sonata Steering

Powering steering seems get harder when i stop at lights and when i turn then car back on from getting grocery.

STEERING GETS HARD AND YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING.

STERLING IS LOCKING UP

WHEN TURNED THE VEHICLE ON, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING HAD STOPPED WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO MANEUVER. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND THE VEHICLE REGAINED POWER STEERING FUNCTIONALITY HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS FIRST TOWED TO THE RESIDENCE AND THEN TOWED TO HYUNDAI INLAND EMPIRE (25072 REDLANDS BOULEVARD, LOMA LINDA, CA 92354, (909)-796-1600) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT LOCATED A FAILURE CODE AT THE POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE POWER STEERING LOCKED WHILE I WAS ON 55M/H. THE DASHBOARD HAD THE STEERING SIGN ON. THE CAR WAS EVENTUALLY TOWED HOME BECAUSE IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I TRIED THE CAR THE FOLLOWING DAY AND THE CAR WAS FINE AND NO SIGN ON THE DASHBOARD. I TOOK THE CAR ON AN ERRAND AND FEW MINS LATER, THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO AN AUTO WORKSHOP WHO DATAMINED IT IS A MANUFACTURE SAFETY ISSUE WITH SENSOR. AS AT THIS MOMENT, THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I AM REALLY CONCERNED ON WHY THE PUBLIC HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED

SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. NEARLY HAD SEVERAL ACCIDENTS TRYING TO GET HOME. I AM A 100% DISABLED VETERAN SUFFERING END STAGE KIDNEY FAILURE A% DAY/WEEK DIALYSIS. I CAN NOT SAFELY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT THE POWER STEERING AND AM ALARMED AT ALL THE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH THAT HAVE ILLUMINATED. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MGR 1ST TOLD ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. I REMINDED HIM OF THE PANORAMIC ROOF RECALL THEY DID. NOW HE SAYS MY CAR HAS NO RECALLS FOR THE POWER STEERING ISSUE CAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN JULY OF 2014. I PURCHASED IT NEW IN 2015 WITH ONLY 13 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. PLEASE HELP ME SORT OUT THE TRUE RECALL STATUS AND I WISH TO FILE THIS AS A COMPLAINT ALSO. [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA HAS A PROBLEM OF STEERING LOCK FOR 1 SECOND WHILE DRIVING ON ROAD WHEN TURNING LEFT /RIGHT. ON MARCH 3RD I WAS DRIVING ON GA-317 S AND WANT TO TAKE RIGHT TURN ON GA-120.AS SOON AS I TOOK THE TURN AND WAS ABOUT TO MERGE IN THE LANE THEN SUDDENLY MY CAR'S STEERING GOT LOCKED FOR A WHILE (AROUND 1 SECOND) AND UNLOCKED AGAIN AUTOMATICALLY AND MY CAR'S COMPUTER SYSTEM ALSO RESTARTEDBLUETOOTH DISCONECTED AND RADIO STARTED LOKE WHEN YOU START THE CAR .ANY FURTHER DELAY IN UNLOCKING THE STEERING COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCCIDENT. THANKS TO GOD FOR SAVING ME . THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DENGEROUS FOR THOSE DRIVING THE 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA BECAUSE OF STEERING LOCKS WHILE TAKING TURN. NOW I SCARE TO DRIVE,HYUNDAI COMPANY SHOULD TAKE THIS ISSUE VERY VERY SERIOUSLY AND SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLE. WHILE CONTACTING THE ONE OF THE AUTHORISED DEALER IN GEROGIA ,THEY TOOK CHARGED TO DIAOGNISED THE ISSUE BECAUSE MY CAR IS NOT IN WARRANTY PERIOD.STEERING LOCK PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING IS THE HYUNDAI CAR COMUTER SYSTEM DEFECT.IT IS THE COMPANIES RESPONSIBILTY TO HAVE THEIR CAR ON ROAD TO BE VERY SAFEFOR DRIVING. ,ITS NOT A DRIVER'S FAULT.THEY MUST DIAGNOSIS THE ISSSUE AND REPAIRED IT WITHOUT ANY COST TO CUSTOMER.

ELECTRONIC STEERING CONTROL COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE ACTIVELY DRIVING ON STATE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH.. WARNING LIGHT DID COME ON BUT STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT AS THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. WORSE THEN HAVING MANUAL STEERING. ODOMETER READING AT THE TIME WAS 49504 MILES

ON 11/5/2019 WHILE DRIVING STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP THROWING A EPS CODE. HAD TO PULL OVER IN 55 MPH TRAFFIC. LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT AND THE EPS LIGHT WAS GONE. I MADE IT HOME. ON 11/7/2019 ON THE WAY TO DEALERSHIP WHEN I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO HYUNDAI OF VALDOSTA, WHERE IT CURRENTLY SITS. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE DETECTED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STEVENSON HYUNDAI OF JACKSONVILLE (2325 N MARINE BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, NC 28546, (910) 455-1555) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE COUPLER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHILE TURNING AND WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROADWAY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 172,715. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS ABOUT THE CHANGE LANE AND I FELT THAT THE STEERING WHEEL IS HARDER TO TURN THAN USUAL. I WAS TURNING RIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE NEAREST STREET AND PARKED. I LEFT THE CAR RUNNING. AFTER A MINUTE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED I COULDN'T MOVE IT. THEN, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD TURNED OFF AND THE AC STOPPED. MANY WARNING LIGHTS TURNED ON. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND I COULD NOT TURN IT ON AGAIN. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP (IT IS UNDER WARRANTY) AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY. THEY REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY AND SAID IT WAS FINE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK, PAID FOR BATTERY AND AFTER 20MILES I FELT AGAIN SOME GLITCHES IN THE STEERING. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT AND I COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL ANYMORE. THE CAR WAS ON BUT THE STEERING WAS LOCKED. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND AGAIN, I COULD NOT START IT. I AM REALLY AFRAID BECAUSE IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL. I WOULD NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. WHAT IS WORSE, THE OFFICIAL DEALER 'FIXED IT' BUT THE SAME ISSUE AROSE AFTER 20 MILES AGAIN. WHAT IF I WAS TO GO ON A TRIP? I AM REALLY WORRIED ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE STEERING. AND I PAID FOR THE BATTERY WHICH IN THE END MAY NOT BE A PROBLEM AT ALL. I FEEL RIPPED OFF AND THE CAR IS ONLY 44,400MILES AND IT IS 3 YRS OLD.

DRIVING CAR WHEEL SHOKE VIOLENTLY, LOUD NOISE UNDER CAR N CAR WOULD RACE FORWARD THEN BACK. WORSE DRIVING 45 MILES OR OVER. DEALER SAID STEERING SHAFT. DAVIS HYUNDAI IN EWING SAID IT WAS BAD N SAFETY ISSUE N WOULD NOT LET ME TAKE N DRIVE CAR HOME TILL PART CAME IN. IS THIS PROBLEM THE DEALER'S RESPONSIBILITY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH UPHILL, THE STEERING COLUMN VIBRATED. THE VIBRATION INTENSIFIED AS THE VEHICLE'S SPEED INCREASED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS. THE MANUFACTURER SENT A REGIONAL SERVICE SUPERVISOR TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,500.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE AND THE CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. I WAS ABLE TO PULL FORWARD INTO THE PARKING SPACE AND WAIT FOR THE TOW TRUCK. THE CAR IS NEW, I ONLY HAVE 1,032 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS ON A SATURDAY, AND I HAVE NO EXPLANATION AS OF RIGHT NOW FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENED.

THE STEERING WHEEL ON THIS CAR WILL LOCK OR GET STUCK AS I AM OPERATING THE VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPENED AT SLOW SPEEDS AS WELL AS HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND EVEN HAPPENED IN REVERSE ONCE. IT IS INTERMITTENT AND RANDOM BUT THE FREQUENCY IS INCREASING. ON MY FIRST DEALER VISIT 12/10/15 THERE WAS A CODE FOR THE ELECTRONIC STEERING WHICH THE DEALER CLEARED AND RETURNED THE CAR TO ME WITHOUT MAKING ANY REPAIRS. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED SO THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A 2ND DEALER WHO FOUND A CODE PERTAINING TO ECM OVERHEATING. HYUNDAI ADVISED THE DEALER TO CLEAR THE CODE AND RETURN THE CAR TO ME. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE ON 12/16/15 AND RECEIVED AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT EMAIL THAT A REPRESENTATIVE WOULD CONTACT ME IN 3-5 DAYS. ON 12/21 I CONTACTED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE, EXPLAINED THE CAR WASNT SAFE TO DRIVE SO WHAT SHOULD I DO. I WAS TOLD HYUNDAI WOULD NOT OFFER A LOANER CAR BUT I COULD ASK MY DEALER IF THEY WOULD PROVIDE ONE AT THEIR COST. I ASKED ABOUT A REPRESENTATIVE CONTACTING ME AND I WAS TOLD IT HASNT BEEN 5 DAYS YET SO I NEEDED TO BE PATIENT. AS OF 12/30/15 I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE. *JS

POWER STEERING MOTOR FAILED. LUCKILY, IT FAILED SOMETIME BETWEEN WHEN I LAST DROVE IT AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT THE NEXT DAY. THE STEERING WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MANAGE, DUE TO THE FAILED MOTOR. *TR
