There was a recall on 3/28/2017 on the 2017 hyundai Elantra for a power steering (eps motor) problem. Recall 161 I recently bought a 2017 Hyundai Elantra used. It showed no outstanding unrepaired recalls on the vin number check. However without realizing there was a former steering recall on my car i have been noticing that my car when steering to the right catches. I mostly experience this at higher speeds and while driving on the highway when changing lanes. As if it snagged on something or i have no control for a microsecond. Its happens and just as quickly goes away when i bring the steering wheel back to the left.I am wondering if the march 2017 recall and my current problem are related. Is there any way of determining if my car was under that recall and whether it was repaired or not. When recall notices on a particular car/vin number are repaired does that info get entered into a national data base. It seems very coincidental to say the least that i am experience a steering anomaly and i now find out there was a past recall for a problem involving steering. Yet i can't seem to determine if my car was repaired for such a recall in the past

First the car has been acting like it's going to die even while driving it. Now I'm having issues with my steering wheel, it every once in a while is difficult to turn but it's off and on. It's always while I'm actively driving it's been both city street and highways.

The power steering mechanism clicks or claps whenever steering either from left to right. The noise isn't always there. It happens at random times, but its at either directions when steering into a parking spot or a parking lot.

First winter with the car and I had a weird sound coming from the steering when turning. I set up an appointment with the local dealership. They took the car in and found that there was ice packed around steering rack. The car is parked outside on the street or also off the road in my driveway. This has happened every year since I have owned the car but I have only taken it down once. When I call the appointment is usually days out. NY winters.

Vehicle was in motion on a highway, power steering completely went away making the vehicle operator take more effort to be able to turn, making it more prone to collisions at lower speeds. Cause is unknown at this time. Same year/make/model cars were also recalled for same issue, Hyundai's recall number for this was 17V213000.

I have had a ton of issues. My blind spot sensors only work occasionally. (I actually know someone else with a Hyundai that is having the same problem). Additionally, sensors go off at random. I have had the warnings for flat tire pop up multiple times when there was no flat tire. One of the tones my steering wheel actually locked up and I was unable to drive. I have also had issues with my radio screen and the radio playing. My push to start button also has issues. Sometimes it will not turn the whole car off. They replaced something in the bottom but it is still happening. Today it actually had a hard time starting. This has been happening since I got the car. I've had it less than a year and it has been to the shop a couple dozen times. This happens at all times both when I'm moving and not moving depending on the issues. It has also happened when I was driving slower and faster. My screen has also frozen and I have been unable to use it. Both in motion and parked. P
