2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS Steering Problems

WHILE DRIVING MY GENESIS 2010 SEDAN, THE BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THEN THE POWER STEERING DID NOT RESPOND. I WAS ABOUT 1/2 MILES FROM MY HOUSE AND I HAD TO WRESTLE WITH MY STEERING WHEEL UNTIL I GOT HOME. THE SCARY PART WAS THAT I UNEXPECTEDLY LOST POWER STEERING DURING A TURN AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. LUCKILY, NO ON COMING TRAFFIC WAS NEAR AS I COMPLETED THE TURN ON THE OPPOSITE SLIDE OF THE STREET. I FORTUNATELY ARRIVE HOME, PARKED THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE MECHANICS. I LEARNED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WENT OUT AND SO DID THE BATTERY. LUCKLY, DURING THE TURN I DID NOT CRASH, BUT IT WAS VERY NERVOUS THE REST OF THE WAY.

TILT-TELESCOPE STEERING WHEEL STOPPED RAISING, CAUSING IT TO BOTH BLOCK VISIBILITY OF PART OF DASHBOARD AND LIMIT EGRESS FOR DRIVERS. WAS REPAIRED TWICE AND FAILED A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES. DEALER HAS REPLACED MODULE WHICH WAS REPUTED TO CORRECT PROBLEM, AND HAS CONFERRED WITH HYUNDAI, BUT IT RECURS IN THREE TO FOUR WEEKS. THERE WAS NO INCIDENT TO REPORT TO POLICE NOR WAS THERE DAMAGE.

TITL - TELESCOPIC STEERING WHEEL BECOMES LOCKED IN LOWEST HEIGHT SETTING TOTALLY BLOCKING ALL INSTRUMENTS ON THE DASHBOARD AND GREATLY RESTRICTING EXIT FROM THE CAR UNDER ALL TYPES OF CONDITIONS. ESPECIALLY A PROBLEM FOR THOSE WITH LIMITED MOBILITY CAUSED BY AGE, INJURIES, OPERATIONS, ETC. HYUNDAI HAS NO FIX ALTHOUGH THE CAR HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THEM 5 TIMES. APPLIES TO 2009, 2010, 2011 GENESIS SEDAN MODELS. *TR
