Hyundai is one of the most reputed and largest passenger car company in India with sales crossing 55,000 units in March 2017.  

One of the most common problem in Hyundai Cars is the faulty Electronic Power Steering (EPS). After facing the problem myself and researching a bit, it was clear that this problem is not as rare as the service center guys say it is. It is clear that the company is using faulty electronic units (ECU) or parts of either bad quality of material or faulty steering design.

Thousands of Hyundai buyers are facing this issue from as early as the first month of their purchase and even 2 to 3 times within a span of 3-4 years. The repair cost of this issue can vary between INR 20,000/- to INR 100,000/- depending on the car model. The complaints are scattered all over the internet on complaints forums.

Many people have faced jammed steering or failure of power steering while driving which can be very dangerous or even fatal.

Hyundai needs to manufacture better parts and recall their cars & replace the faulty EPS module and column asap.
