2010 Hyundai Elantra

WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 30 MPH THE EPS LIGHT WENT ON AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OFF. I DROVE THE CAR ABOUT A MILE TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY RE-CALIBRATED THE SENSOR. THE CAR OPERATED FINE FOR TWO DAYS AND THEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN,( ALTHOUGH IT DOES RESET WHEN THE CAR IS RESTARTED). I THEN TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, WHERE I WAS TOLD THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT WAS LOCATED IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IS RATHER COSTLY TO FIX. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IN A RAIN STORM AND LOST HER POWER STEERING. THE EPS (ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING) LIGHT ILLUMINATED. SHE WAS LUCKY SHE DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. SHE PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER, TURNED HER CAR OFF, THEN STARTED IT AGAIN. THE EPS LIGHT WENT OUT AND THE POWER STEERING WAS AGAIN WORKING. I PERFORMED AN INTERNET SEARCH AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THE HYUNDAI EPS SYSTEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED IMMEDIATELY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVING TO WORK TODAY THE EPS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF CHANGING LANES. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DO A BIT OF SWERVING. MANAGED TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE. PRIOR TO ALL THIS, I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE EPS AS IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS HAPPENING BEFORE. 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

RETURNING FROM SOUTH JERSEY WITH MY MINOR SON, THE EPS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF CHANGING LANES. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DO A BIT OF SWERVING. MANAGED TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALL FOR HELP. PRIOR TO ALL THIS, VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HYUNDAI IN PARAMUS, NJ FOR A RECALL FOR SOME OTHER PART. AT THIS TIME, I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE EPS AS IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS HAPPENING BEFORE. THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOCK UP AND UPON TURNING OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD RESET ITSELF. AT HYUNDAI, THEY ALLEGED TESTING THE VEHICLE FOR THE EPS PROBLEM HOWEVER NOTHING CAME UP AND THEY REFUSED TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE. THIS TIME ON 8/10/13, THE LIGHT IS NOW ON AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT REST ITSELF. I TRIED CALLING HYUNDAI FOR THIS DEFECT AND WAS PUT ON HOLD INDEFINITELY. I THEN SENT AN EMAIL TO THEM ABOUT IT AND THEY REFUSED TO RESPOND. IN MY EMAIL TO THEM, I EXPRESSED THIS WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND A DEFECT ON THEIR PART WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND AT THE EXPENSE OF HYUNDAI. STILL NO RESPONSE. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT AS I EXPECTED MORE FROM THEM AND HAVE GOTTEN NOTHING. *TR

AFTER STOPPING THE CAR AND TURNING IT BACK ON, THE VEHICLE OPERATED FINE UNTIL 5 MONTHS LATER. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. FINALLY ON JUNE 30, 2013, IT HAPPENED A THIRD TIME. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND HAVE FOUND IT TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND ONE OF SAFETY. HYUNDAI REFUSED TO FIX IT. *TR
