Santa Fe Sport 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 13,000 miles

2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.4L takes too much effort to Steer while driving, this new EPS system to me is almost like having no power steering assistance and makes long drives tiresome (Too much effort to steer). I have five vehicles two with Hydraulic power steering which are Toyota's that I love to drive and the other Nissan with EPS with a much better feel and less tiresome. I thought about increasing my tire pressure in the front to make the steering lighter to feel. My first Hyundai vehicle very disappointed with this vehicle which is the only but very significant problem. Power Steering systems should be user friendly with little effort to steer and never be noticeable during any period of driving especially long ones. I'm not retired and physically unfit person but for older people and ladies this steering efforts is not user friendly.
