| Description of the problem | 2017 hyundai sonata electronic power steering failed while i was making a turn on 7/25. Once the vehicle is turned off and back on it works. I notice that there is a pop like a potential gear or internal part is broken when turning the steering wheel from left to right and vise versa. It has sense happened everyday following the first event. This seems to be a complaint made by several people and i see no recall as of yet. Hyundai has addressed older vehicles with the same problem and issued a recall but nothing as of yet for 2017 or newer. Had this happened while i was on the interstate or making a sharp turn on a mountain road, as i typically do, it could have forced me into the next car, wall, or even off of a mountain side. |
