- Power steering pump failing — whining noise and heavy steering
- Electric power steering (EPS) motor failure — dashboard warning light

Frequently asked questions
My car steering became very heavy suddenly in Hyderabad — what happened?
Sudden heavy steering usually means: 1) Power steering pump drive belt broken (hydraulic systems — belt snaps and pump stops instantly), 2) EPS motor failure (electric systems — light may come on dashboard), 3) Power steering fluid leak causing pump cavitation. Check your engine bay for a slipping belt or fluid spray. Metre Per Second diagnoses both hydraulic and electric power steering systems same-day.
