2015 Elantra power steering is faulty. An intermittent problem with the steering. The steering wheel "sticks" making it impossible to drive in a straight line on the highway. Took it to the dealership and they couldn't diagnose the problem. It's seems to me that the electronic power assist shuts down when the steering wheel is not being turned. If I'm driving in a straight line and the steering wheel is not moved in any manner and then try to turn the wheel slightly to correct, the steering wheel sticks in it's current position causing me to "yank" the steering wheel in the direction to correct, therefore causing an over steering reaction. I'm constantly going back and forth in my lane because of this problem.
While driving the vehicle goes from side to side. It is very difficult to hold it in the highway. The steering wheel slips when driving hard to control the vehicle
When you are driving down the road you are always fighting the wheel on the highways trying to keep it on the road. I asked Hyundai Canada if they had any complaints about this, they say no. I only have 12000 klms on the car, I am taking it in to the dealership next Sat. for an oil change to see what they say.
I have never driven a car that handles so bad, maybe somebody can give me some suggestions.
