2017 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

Steering wheel locked twice in one day up in my neighborhood while I was driving back to the house had to turn the car off and turn back on for steering wheel because unstuck the second time was on the highway going 65 mph had to pull over to the side of the road turn the car off and back on so steering wheel could go back to normal all fluid is top off.

After travelling on the highway for approximately 1 hour the HEV light along with several other lights came on and the engine powered down. The instructions were to turn off the engine immediately . Luckily I was in the right lane and was able to get to the shoulder of the highway and turn off the engine. Tried several times to restart, but same message came up to turn off engine. Had it towed to closest Hyundai dealer for service. They couldn't look at it immediately, but according to them it started the next day and they drove it around (local driving) for 10 miles with no issues. I took the car back and after driving it again on the highway for 1 hour the same problem occurred and I had to have towed to my local Hyundai dealer. It has been in their shop for over 3 weeks and I still have no answers as to what may have caused the problem.

"Shark fin" antenna cover blew off the car while I was traveling down the freeway. If it had hit another car or caused someone to swerve to miss it, it could have caused damage to the other car. Others have had this problem. You can see that by googling the problem. No warning. Hyundai wants $1000 to repair it--$350 for the part and $600 for labor.

Electronic Power Steering failed in the 2017 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid SE. As I was turning left the dashboard showed the EPS warning light, and EPS completely failed. Power steering locked, and I was unable to steer the car. I immediately put my hazard lights on to avoid any accident. I turned the vehicle off, waited a few seconds, and turned it back on. Steering was still extremely tight; I forced the steering wheel to turn slowly and gradually moved the car out of traffic. This was an extremely scary experience. My 3-year-old daughter was in the back in her car seat, and I consider ourselves to be very lucky on this date.
