Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Elantra. While driving 72 mph, the contact stated that abs power steering light illuminates on the panel and the vehicle then seized. The vehicle was towed to the dealeship for inspection. The contact was informed that the steering column module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware failure. The failure mileage 132,000. Ng.
Power steering failed and eps light illuminated. Condition cleared upon stopping vehicle, and restarting it. This continued intermittently (maybe 10-15 instances, often with months between occurrences) until October (182900 miles), when eps failed to reset. Speed was not a consistent factor; eps would deactivate at any speed - including as low as 20 mph. Especially if/when occurring at highway speed, this is a serious safety concern. I have seen similar eps complaints for this model/year reported on various tech forums and am concerned that my experience was not an isolated incident. Dealer replaced steering column to resolve issue.
When turning the steering wheel to make a turn or when backing out of a parking stall and then pulling forward you will randomly get a popping sound coming from the steering column area. You can also feel a light pop. The vehicle has been took to the dealer, for them to check but they said they could not find anything. The last time the service tech said, he did hear a small pop but it was so light he would not be able to find it. So he tighten the bolts for the steering column. However now the noise is happening more often. The problem first started when the car had about 50k miles on it. I took the car into the dealer a few times for the same problem the first time they look at it and said they could not find it. I re took the car in about a month later and this time the tech did hear it when we went for a test drive but he told me he would not be able to find it and to bring it back in later. When I did they said it would be a charge to relook at it because its been in before for the same problem. Now it have been about a year since I last took it in for this but now it is doing it more often and loader when it does do it. Also the air bags light turned on and would not reset. But after moving the steering will tilt the light then reset and stayed off.
