| Description of the problem | I have owned 3 hyundai azeras; a 2007, a 2013 and now a 2017. I never had any issues with the steering on my 2007 or 2013. The steering on my current vehicle "locks" as i am driving, mostly on the highway but has also happened at lower speeds and also in reverse. The steering doesn't respond when i try to make minor adjustments driving down the highway and feels as if it's locked in place. It will eventually "give" with a jerking motion. My car has approximately 8500 miles and i did not notice this issue when i purchased it new and don't remember exactly when it started but it happens consistently now. I am very concerned with this as occasionally it feels as though it's not going to respond at all. I have seen similar complaints online and wonder if hyundai is going to issue a recall to fix this problem. |
