On August 15, 2026, while driving my 2022 Hyundai Veloster N, the electric power steering assist intermittently became noticeably heavier than normal. The vehicle’s steering remained mechanically controllable, but the increased steering effort was noticeable and raised a safety concern because the loss or reduction of steering assist occurred while the vehicle was being driven. I scanned the vehicle and found diagnostic trouble code C129002 in the EPS/MDPS system, described as a torque sensor signal fault. I also found DTC C168886 in the LKAS system. Both codes were reported as open at approximately 80,252 miles. After turning the vehicle off and restarting it, normal steering assist returned. The problem has since been intermittent, with the steering currently feeling normal, but the diagnostic codes were previously active and the vehicle experienced an actual change in steering effort while driving. This is not the first intermittent issue I have experienced with the vehicle. A similar steering-assist problem occurred a couple of months earlier. The vehicle has also experienced intermittent power loss on other occasions. I previously brought the vehicle to a Hyundai dealer for the intermittent power-loss concern, but the dealer was unable to reproduce or confirm the problem at that time. I do not know whether the intermittent power-loss issue is related to the steering-assist problem. The current steering problem has not yet been confirmed or repaired by a dealer or indepen

Steering rack failed once already and was replaced in entirety thru dealership now it is making creaking sound whenever turning wheel left or right at slow speeds engine issues two years into ownership- white smoke coming from exhaust and required two new spark plugs the blind spot warning has never worked and there is heavy documentation online from other owners stating it simply does not work (and has never worked)

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.

Power steering failure while at speed on the highway. This caused safety systems to be disabled and the car was very hard to control. 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

The steering system failed while driving down the highway on two different ocassions. I got a warning message saying the driver att warning sys had malfunctioned (it wasn't on a the time) then after that message disappeared, I had a red light in the "steering column" symbol in the dash. The steering lost all power and it was really hard to drive the car as it felt like a car with no power steering at all but worse. If in a turn, it would want to stay in a turn and it would fight you to get it back to center coming out of the turns. I was able to get off the highway and nurse it to a parking lot. I checked the power steering fluid (thinking it might have leaked out), but it was there. Upon initial restart of the car the same messages and failure reappeared. However, after approximately 1 hr, I restarted the car and everything worked as normal. About 10 mins into the drive home, the same warning and cautions were displayed and the steering completely failed while driving. I was able to nurse the car to the nearest Hyundai dealership (RedMcCombs Hyundai Northwest in San Antonio, TX) and it has been there since 8 May with no resolution as they are awaiting approval from Hyundai to order a completely new steering rack assembly. However, the dealer noted that they had another Veloster N with ~60,000 miles come in for the same issue multiple times. My car's steering failed at ~41,000 miles. When I looked online, looks like many other Veloster N owners have suffered the same failure

When slightly braking, steering becomes heavy and resistant. Steering is slightly vague. Sometimes the lane departing warning shows up stating “check lane departing warning system” on my dash.

Driving over small bumps when power steering suddenly failed and power steering light came on dash. Steering became very heavy and difficult to control

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.

The ownership of my 2022 Hyundai Veloster N has been defined by an unresolved safety recall that has left the vehicle undriveable and in the dealer's possession for a month. My attempts to address the issue began in September 2024, when I brought the car in for the High-Pressure Fuel Pump recall (NHTSA 24V528). The dealer performed a software update but declined to replace the pump. The situation escalated on January 2, 2026, when the vehicle suffered a severe loss of power. The dealer then replaced the recalled pump, but the fix was unsuccessful. Immediately after leaving the dealership, the car failed again, stalling during a turn in traffic and creating a clear and dangerous situation. That incident initiated a cascade of failed repair attempts. Over the next several weeks, at Hyundai's direction, the dealer replaced the fuel sensor and then the fuel injectors, but the core problem remained. The impact has been significant. I have been without my personal vehicle for a month, forcing me to rearrange work and personal commitments to manage the situation. The dealership remains unable to diagnose the root cause, and after multiple failed attempts, my confidence in the safety and reliability of this vehicle has been completely undermined.

The issue involved the electronic power steering (EPS) system on my 2022 Hyundai Veloster N (approx. 70,000 miles). While driving, the EPS stopped providing steering assist and a fault warning appeared on the dash. After checking the engine bay fuse box, I found that the PDM 7.5A micro blade fuse (which powers the EPS circuit) appeared heat-discolored/burned. I replaced it with an identical 7.5A micro blade fuse, and the system later returned to normal operation. The original fuse that appeared damaged is still in my possession and is available for inspection upon request When the fuse failed, I suddenly lost power steering assist and the steering became extremely heavy, especially at low speeds. This made it difficult to turn the wheel for parking, lane changes, and tighter turns. This could have put my safety and others at risk because: •It required much more physical effort to steer, especially in a parking lot and at slower speeds. •In an emergency situation, it would have been harder to quickly avoid obstacles or other vehicles. •A less physically strong driver, or someone caught off guard, might not be able to maintain proper control, increasing the risk of a collision. No. The problem has not been reproduced or formally confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. After I replaced the PDM 7.5A fuse, the EPS warning and heavy steering condition went away and have not returned so far, so the failure has not been actively present for a shop to duplicate. No. The v

Vehicle stalled after misfire in cylinder 4. No signs of problems prior to failure of injector number 4 at 14000 miles. Upon investigating prior history of vehicle owner, customer reported misfire on cylinder 2, and 4 at 3 thousand miles. Technician replaced injector 2 only. Months after, my vehicle stalled due to misfire in cylinder 1, which was corrected by restarting car. Injector number one was replaced. at the moment with only 24000 miles on vehicle, 3 out of 4 injectors have prematurely failed. After doing hpfp recall update on ECM, Dual clutch transmission was rough shifting from first to second at random intervals. This shift sounded very metallic and un-lubricated. Eventually, the banging sound went away after happening for 3 months. Vehicle does not run the same after update on ECM “Check lane assist system” warning randomly shows up on dash at different times before going away. FRONT VIEW CAMERA code is being reported by ECM along with C1642-02

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.

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.

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

While driving on the highway, the dashboard illuminated with power steering & lane departure warnings. Upon this happening, the power steering did fail, and would not come back on regardless of the driving mode (2022 Hyundai Veloster N). Because of my high speed, I was able to navigate to an off ramp and pull off the road without incident. At slow speed, I was barely able to turn the steering wheel at all. Upon turning the car on and off, the issue would prove to be inconsistent. I was able to slowly and carefully get it to a parking lot, where it will remain, as it is not safe to drive. I tried contacting the only two Hyundai dealerships within 50 miles and could not get in touch with the service center (voicemails were left).

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.

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.

Driving the vehicle when arriving to my destination going a speed below 10 mph, the steering became extremely heavy and an alert showed on the cluster screen stating "power steering failed". I had to exert substantial physical effort to maneuver the vehicle to a safe location to investigate the issue. At that moment the Check Engine Light (CEL) did not illuminate, but I suspect there must have been at least a passive fault code stored in the computer regarding the malfunction. I turned off the vehicle, waited a while, and restarted it, at which point the issue was gone, still no CEL present. And, no cluster screen alert anymore either. Fortunately, this occurrence was at a point of the drive going low speeds, otherwise I would have worried for my own and my passengers' safety. I am aware of this issue affecting several owners of 2019 - 2022 Hyundai Veloster N vehicles many of whom may have reported the issue like I am at this time. This must be escalated and a safety recall be issued in accordance with regulations ASAP.

The vehicle intermittently enters a state in which Lane Keeping Assistance (LKA) and Power Steering simultaneously fail, indicated by lights and notifications on the cluster and resulting in complete loss of power steering. This malfunction can occur at any point in the vehicle's operation, which includes when the vehicle is parked, and lasts until the vehicle has had the battery disconnected or power has been turned off for at least 15 minutes, after which point the malfunction may still return upon next operation of the vehicle.

Vehicle stated “check lane keep system”, and proceeded to lock the steering wheel whilst I was doing 65-70 mph on Interstate-5’s Grapevine section. I immediately had to apply brakes, turn on my hazard lights, and then nurse the car to the exit.
