| Description of the problem | While driving at about 25 mph, the power steering froze up on me.(fortunately), i was not driving fast, or on a bridge, freeway, etc. And was able to return to a safe location. I called a tow truck. Towed to local hyundai dealer. After 20 days in shop, they replaced steering computer, rack and pinion steering too. I am appalled that a new (expensive) 2015 genesis with very low mileage, has had this problem. I am now very hesitant about the quality of the hyundai brand. I hope no one else has had this problem, because it is a real headache!!! |
