To prevent a driver from feeling uncomfortable when the driver touches a steering member in a state where a driving source is stopped, a vehicle steering system () is provided in a vehicle () that travels by a driving force generated by a driving source (). The vehicle steering system () includes; a steering member () configured to accept a steering operation; and a reaction force actuator () configured to apply a reaction force to the steering member () in response to the steering operation. In a state where the driving source () is stopped, the reaction force actuator () is configured to apply the reaction force to the steering member () based on a stopped time position that is a position of the steering member () at a time when the driving source () is stopped.

Vehicle steering system

In a steer-by-wire steering system for a vehicle, a control unit () controls an operation of a steering actuator to cause the steered angle of wheels to be in a prescribed relationship to a steering angle, and an operation of the reaction force actuator () including a pair of reaction force motors () to cause the reaction force to be a value (Tt) corresponding to a steered state of the wheels, wherein the control unit is provided with a failure detection unit () configured to detect failures of the reaction force motors, and upon detecting a failure of one of the reaction force motors, progressively reduce an output (Tta) of the other reaction motor to a prescribed limit value (TL).
