At least ten times over the past few years the Sonata (purchased new in 2016) has suddenly "frozen up" for no discernable reason. It has always happened while turning the wheel, almost always while backing out of the driveway - but at least once while simply turning onto a street. All the dashboard lights go on, and the steering wheel becomes very difficult to turn. In other words, it acts like a failure of the power steering system. The car has to be shut off and started again before it can be driven. I've brought the car to the dealership to have it serviced several times, but was told each time that no problem was found, and the car's error logs showed nothing wrong. One Hyundai mechanic drove the car himself for two weeks, and said the problem never came up. Yet the intermittent problem continues, and it's only a matter of time before the power steering fails while driving in traffic.
