“There is an intermittent issue that begins with the lane departure warning light followed by the power steering light flashing red. It leads to a complete and sudden loss of power steering. This has happened at low speeds as well as highway speeds with no discernable pattern for replicating the issue.”Owner report · Lane Departure · Aug 2026

If this happened while cornering, a deadly crash could happen. the problem has not been confirmed or reproduced. it has not been inspected. No issues prior to the failure. only appeared after SP failed”Owner report · Lane Departure · Jun 2026

“Driving over small bumps when power steering suddenly failed and power steering light came on dash. Steering became very heavy and difficult to control”Owner report · Steering · Mar 2026
“Went to back out of a parking space got a "check lane keep assist" warning on dash as well as red steering light. Steering was totally locked up luckily I was parked but if I was driving It could've caused a serious issue. I've seen multiple other people with this vehicle have had this problem as well and still no recall.”Owner report · Lane Departure · Feb 2026
“While driving, I would randomly get an alert saying "check lane departure assist system" along with my power steering going completely out. If I restart the car, sometimes it fixes the issue until it happens again randomly. Sometimes it wont happen for a week, sometimes it happens multiple times a day. I can't narrow it down to anything since it happens so randomly.”Owner report · Steering · Nov 2025
“While driving my 2022 Hyundai Veloster N (around 44,000 miles), the steering system suddenly failed without warning. All lane departure and steering warning lights came on, and the steering wheel locked hard to the left, causing the car to veer into oncoming traffic. I narrowly avoided a collision and was able to regain control, but it was extremely dangerous. The vehicle was later diagnosed by the dealership as needing an entire new steering rack. This is the second time this same issue has happened after it was supposedly repaired, and I no longer feel safe driving this car.”Owner report · Lane Departure · Oct 2025
“Power steering and lane keep assist died while driving. After leaving the car off for a few minutes, powering it back up they worked again for about 5 minutes before cutting off while driving on the highway”Owner report · Lane Departure · Oct 2025
“This problem has happened sporadically since the first instance described below. I was driving in the left lane at 65mph on the highway during a bend in the road. The steering when extremely stiff, which is extremely alarming on the highway. The car chimed and produced the messages, "check power steering" and "check lane departure warning system". From that point until I was able to stop somewhere safely, the vehicle had no power steering. Turning the car off and on is a short term remedy about half of the time, and the problem returns either immediately, or days later.”Owner report · Electrical System · Sep 2025
“3 separate injectors have misfired, causing very low power to the acceleration of the vehicle, and creating a safety hazard to drive. There is a misfire engine light. The dealership has inspected these injectors and determined that the OEM parts are prone to misfire. This is a very common issue among, they point out, model year '22 Hyundai cars.”Owner report · Fuel/Propulsion System · Aug 2025
