| Description of the problem | Warning: while turning left into my driveway (in motion), my 2010 santa fe steering suddenly locked up and i drove onto my lawn. Very scary and this was without warning! Simply meaning, if the power steering pump was the issue, there would be noise and a gradual failure; however, this was very sudden. As of this writing, the steering is very difficult and the vehicle is unsafe to drive. Thank god i have an extended warranty and now it is in the shop for diagnoses. This problem needs to be addressed!!! |
