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.

Jun 23, 2026

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 at random mileage. When I asked the dealership why the delay in the repairs, they stated that Hyundai might be considering a recall or providing a specific fix and that is why my car's repair approval has been delayed. He stated in the previous case, the repair approval was done after only a few days. My main concern is that they do not know what is actually wrong, and will just replace all steering rack system components without inspecting for actual faulty parts from the manufacturer or vendor

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.

Incident

Feb 8, 2026

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 vehicle and the failed fuse have not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, dealer, police, insurance, or any other third party. At this time I have only inspected the fuse visually myself and replaced

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.

Incident

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.

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.

After replacing the tires with the same size tires on the OEM wheels the blind spot monitoring system malfunctions. The lights in the side view mirrors flash and the audible blind spot warning alerts nearly every time the blinker is used. I have contacted Hyundai Consumer Affairs and they claim there are no reports of issues.

Incident

Dec 22, 2022

The blindspot monitor system in the Hyundai Veloster N does not function as well as other Hyundai vehicles do. While driving, the blindspot monitor will randomly go off even if there is no car in my blindspot and it will sometimes not go off when there is a car driving in my blindspot. I took the car to the dealership to fix the issue and after waiting for weeks to get my car back, my local Hyundai dealership was unable to fix it and I was told there would be a recall for it eventually. Many other cars, including Hyundai vehicles, have perfectly working blindspot monitors. The Veloster N does not have the best visibility and I rely on them to help avoid crashing into the car next to me when I am changing lanes.

The blind spot detector is malfunctioning. The light is on even when there is no car present. I've talked with several other who have the same make/model car and they're all having the same issues.

Incident

Oct 3, 2022

Left and right side blind spot indicators illuminate unnecessarily, causing undue concern while trying to change lanes as the car alerts to a potential collision when there is no hazard. The problem is very intermittent, and seems to have some correlation to the vehicle’s tires, as the issue began occurring after I switched to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 tires from the factory Pirelli P Zero tires. This is especially problematic because Hyundai has decided to ship this model vehicle with summer performance tires that are unsafe to drive in temperatures under 50°f all 12 months of the year, so there are numerous customers who have needed to switch tires for safety, and then had their BSM system malfunction. A software or hardware fix for this issue is needed as soon as possible.

Incident

May 8, 2022

The Blind Spot Warning system no longer functions correctly after changing the stock wheels/tires on the vehicle. Immediately following the change of wheels/tires, the Blind Spot Warning system reports false positives frequently, requiring me to turn off the system. This affects my safety and others because I can no longer trust the accuracy of the system, and need to completely turn it off. I have not yet had this issue inspected by the manufacturer, but this same issue has been reported by a large amount of users who also changed their wheels or tires on their vehicle. Many report that they have gone to their dealerships and have had replacement systems installed, but with no remedy to the issue.
