My 2009 Hyundai has less than 60k miles on it. Battery was replaced in the last 2-3 years, passed inspection with flying colors 2 months ago. When I start it, though, sometimes the belts make a loud shrieking noise for a few seconds, and sometimes turning my wheel is really tight and I have to ease the wheel into turning further, almost like warming up a muscle for a stretch or a lift. Twice in the last month, within 10-15 min of starting my car, I've had power lights blink while making a turn, accompanied by the belt noises.   [canoe links added 3? days later now removed]

Is it power steering? Alternator? Battery again? Something else?

Is it tight?  Check pulleys too.  But, sure sounds like an alternator to me.

Omkar, which Hyundai model?  

Less than 60k miles on a 10 yr old car?

Do you own any small water craft?  Boats?

Could be just an engine belt slipping if you're lucky, but definitely get that checked before it causes a breakdown, that belt is going to stop turning an important engine accessory soon for one reason or another.

I think you can hit it to the nearest mechanics for repairing. It's not safe to drive with getting a service.
