Matrix power steering failure

My 2007 Hyundai Matrix (diesel engine) has gone bonkers! The steering wheel vibrates like crazy, handling's all spongy, and some error popped up. Steering's suddenly mega-stiff, like the power steering just gave up. I checked what I could, but no dice.

The 2007 Hyundai Matrix experienced power steering failure, characterized by a vibrating steering wheel, spongy handling, and an error message. The issue was identified as a potential loose or defective connection in the power steering system, specifically near the steering rack. The suggested solution was to check and secure these connections, with a recommendation to consult a mechanic if unsure, which resolved the problem.

I had something similar happen on my Matrix. Check the cable and plug connections to the power steering component. A defective connection can cause those symptoms. Is the error related to the power steering?

Cheers! Error's definitely power steering related. Where exactly are these cables and plugs? I'm not super savvy with car bits, you see.

They are usually near the steering rack itself - that's the main part of the steering system. If you are not sure what you are doing, it's best to take it to a workshop. I ended up paying 95€ for them to fix it.

Awesome, thanks a bunch! I think I'll take it to a mechanic. Sounds like you nailed it – loose connection! They charged the same, 95€! All is well!
