Narrative:
Upon rotation received a 'peddle steer inop' glareshield message. We declared an emergency and returned to the departure airport for an uneventful landing.the root cause of this event is poor maintenance on the emb-120 by this airline. This aircraft has had this same issue multiple times. Either the airline is not technically capable of maintaining these aircraft or they are not attempting to actually fix the issues at hand.I suggest this airline maintenance needs to be examined for systematical issues pertaining to troubleshooting and repeat write-ups. This is not a problem with a specific mechanic but comes from the top of our company.
