I was driving and tried to make a turn when the steering wheel gave out on me unexpectedly. This lead my car to continue forward onto the other lane of oncoming traffic. The steering wheel signal also turned on. When my car was finally able to turn and I arrived at my destination, I parked my car for 2 hrs. After it was time to leave the battery then died. I was unable to use the key or inside button to open my trunk, and had to wait for assistance. I believe these two issues correlate with the electrical power steering.

I was driving began my Sonata in moderate to heavy traffic.without warning the vehicle began lurching. I was unable to control it. The Hyundai had a mind of its own. I got the "check engine" light on & some message on the screen that I could not read because I was driving. I pulled off the road & had the car towed to a Hyundai dealer. Upon return of the car, the dealer explained that Hyundai took control of the car as a "safety precaution" for the engine. This is an unsafe safety precaution. They not I controlled the car.

Everytime I accelerate my SUV makes a very loud grinding / ? noises and sometimes when I slow from accelerating. Talked with Hyundai mechanic that said their may be a engine problem. Only had it 1 month. I am afraid that it will become very dangerous to drive it.
