2007 Hyundai Santa Fe steering problems

“WHENEVER I NEED TO MAKE TURNS OR PARK AT A SLOWER SPEED I LOSE MY POWER STEERING AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. WHEN I TALKED TO A HYUNDAI DEALER THEY MENTIONED THEY HAVE DONE A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING BUT MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T INCLYDED.”

“MY SON, [XXX] WAS DRIVING THE CAR. WHILE DECELERATING DOWN FROM 60 MPH ON APPROACH TO BRIDGE TOLL PLAZA, AT ABOUT 40 MPH THE ESC LIGHT CAME ON, THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND THE STEERING BECAME VERY HARD TO WORK. *TR”

“I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE CONTROL ARM 3 TIMES, (2/2013, 4/2014, 3/2015) AND ABOUT TO DO IT A 4TH TIME (2019). IT GOES BAD AFTER ABOUT 20,000 MILES AND AFFECTS THE ALIGNMENT WHICH CAUSES THE TIRES TO WEAR INCORRECTLY. BRAND NEW TIRES ARE GET WORN DOWN ON THE INSIDE EDGE AND IS NOT VISIBLE. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE. MY RELATIVELY NEW TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND NEARLY CAUSED A CRASH. I'VE SPENT $3000 IN REPAIRS AND ESTIMATE ANOTHER $1000 IN TIRES THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED PREMATURELY. I WILL FILL ONE OF THESE OUT FOR EACH OF THE INCIDENTS DESCRIBED ABOVE.”

“IN 3 INCIDENTS I BACKED THE CAR OUT OF PARKING SPOT, THEN FORWARD DOWN THE LANE AND RIGHT TURN AT THE END OF THE LANE, THE STEERING LOCKED AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. IN PANIC, I BRAKED, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND BACK IN DRIVE AND I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING. A 4TH INCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR A WHILE AND I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO THE GROCERY STORE. ALL 4 TIMES HAPPENED TURNING RIGHT, AND ALL 4 I HAD TO BRAKE, PUT IN PARK, THEN DRIVE. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP, NOT HELPFUL, IF THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM THEY CAN'T FIX. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THEY SAID HYUNDAI'S APPROACH IS TO NOT REPLACE PARTS BUT FIRST RECREATE ISSUE. DOESN'T IT SEEM LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING RELATED TO STEERING WHEEL. ALL OCCURRED IN MONTH OF JUNE 2018.”
