I just bought a 2009 hyundai genesis 4.6 only 60k miles ,i love the vehicile but i dont like how tight the steering is i feel like i have to use to much force to turn the wheel esp a u turn...is this nornal for this vehicle?

No, not normal. The steering is easy and smooth even when turning a tight corner or making a u-turn. I bought my Genesis new and it just hit 50K yesterday. Other than the power seat motor not working, I have had no issues with the car.

I have a 2009 3.8 with almost 90k miles and haven't faced any issues with steering. If anything, would like it to be a little tight. An easy place to start might be the power steering fluid level. On a 10 year old car, these things tend to get overlooked.

I think how the steering feels is a subjective thing. The steering in the first gen. Genesis is heavier than most luxury cars such as Cadillac.

Steering is our cars is heavier than most luxury cars. This is not a 1970's steer with one finger Caddy. Compared to my Camaro with adjustable electric steering boost (Touring, Sport, Track), the Genesis is very similar to Sport.

If you're struggling to turn the wheel at low speed (parking lots, u-turns, etc.) then the power unit may be failing. If it completely failed you would know... you wouldn't be able to turn the wheel at all.
