    My vehicle has been experiencing this issue for a while now. At first, it showed the power steering signal but when I took it to the mechanic they said they couldn't diagnose the issue. I felt it was still safe to drive because it was a false signal. So, I kept using the car. But now the issue has become so severe to the point I can't use it because it may cause a crash. I didn't even know if I was gon make it home today. I took it to the mechanic (pep boys) today but they said they probably won't be able to fix it. Now it's parked at home. I do not know what to do. My car doesn't use power steering fluids, it's electrical. I hope I am the only one going through it because it very dangerous.

    My hyundai was stolen. After talking with the police and conducting research, Kia and Hyundai are extremely easy to steal. Not to mention the whole tiktok challenge which is going around teaching people how to steal these vehicles.

    Rear door isn't open able. While there's not inherent risk a faulty door could lead to a significant safety risk is a hazardous situation.

    I am the owner of a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. I bought the car for my daughter for transportation to and from school and work. As her boyfriend was driving on a 3-lane highway in heavy traffic, the car would no longer accelerate, and the steering wheel locked. The engine just stopped and seized up. The car lost all power and steering capability. He rolled the car into the left-hand turn lane. A police officer pulled up about 30 seconds later, said that he was obstructing traffic, and to move the car out of the turn lane. Her boyfriend had to push the car across the median, and 3 lanes of traffic, to get to the opposite side of the highway's shoulder, by himself. When he nearly had the car off of the road, on the opposite side of the highway, a pedestrian approached and helped him finish pushing it out of the road. This could have caused a major car accident, or someone could've been killed or injured while pushing the car. I have moved one hour away from my daughter, so I cannot provide her with a ride to and from school and work. She and I are stuck paying $301.18/mo on a car that is inoperable; it's just sitting and rotting at her apartment complex. We are also stuck paying $135.87/mo for her car insurance on a car that is inoperable. Also, this model year, 2017, has a problem with peeling paint too. The car has missing paint patches all over. Previously, at just 51,000 miles, the car had stalling problems. The car would just shut off while driving. It was repaired at Hyundai. When we got it back, it was still doing the same thing, and had to go back in again for service at Hyundai. I filed a formal complaint with Hyundai Consumer Affairs. Hyundai should have already issued recalls for these problems that many people are experiencing. I've been doing research and have found that this year and model Hyundai is very problematic. They are refusing to take responsibility by not issuing recalls on these recurrent problems that they're aware of.

    Rear driver door will NOT open whether in the unlock position manual or power, or lock position. Has not been checked by a dealership, police, or otherwise. Has been "locked" and unable to open for about 2 months. Safety issue- if in an accident, such as car is on fire, or under water, or passenger side is damaged to impare door, persons will be trapped and can cause death. There are no sensors, lights, etc. to indicate a problem. Internet research shows other individuals with this same problem related to Hyundai vehicles.

    MY 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRAS STEERING BECOMES EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER, THEN THE ENGINE STALLS OUT AND THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON. I'M FRIGHTEN OF CRASHING WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I RESTART THE ENGINE AND THE STEERING RETURNS TO NORMAL. THE CAUSE IS A DAMAGED ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (MDPS) CONNECTOR. THERE WAS A RECALL (#161) FOR A REPLACEMENT ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MOTOR AT NO CHARGE FOR THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE BUT I'M TOLD MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL?
