Recently, the power steering failed while driving few times. It happened also while starting the car. The eps light went on and the steering column wouldn't budge. I turn the car off and back on again, the power steering worked until it fails on road! I looking online and saw recall # 127 along with thousands of complaints and accidents service manager said that there was a steering column �software update� recall in 2015 done. I had no issue then. I got message yesterday saying it will cost me about $3,500 to have �burnt out� steering column fix. The steering column is burn out because it fails. This is such a clear case of major malfunction, evidenced by your 2015 �software update� recall and the thousands of online complaints, accidents and highway safety involvement, that I am stunned and dismayed that Hyundai won't repair it. I am asking you to please consider having the entire steering column repaired at Hyundai expense. I rarely drive the car and when I do, I am so light on it. I simply cannot afford to purchase a car at this time and refuse to pay that kind of money to repair that, which is it the fault of the manufacture. Please consider my request.

I started my car and the eps and esc off lights were illuminated, and I had no power steering. This was the second time this had happened since I purchased my vehicle used in 2011. The first time, shutting the engine off and restarting fixed the problem. I also took the car into the dealer at the time, and they claimed that the fix was an update to the computer. The issue didn't appear again until may 2014, and this time the power steering failed to work even after multiple restarts. I took it to the dealer and they said the steering column has failed an needs to be replaced, and will cost $2100. Not only does this defective steering column that I have seen multiple citations of in this database present a potentially large expense to Hyundai owners outside of their warranty, but a serious safety issue if the steering fails while the car is in motion, as I have seen in other cases. I was lucky it was just in my driveway. I contacted Hyundai directly about this, and they couldn't care less, and most certainly wouldn't cover it as a defective part, as I am 12k miles out of my warranty. They are clearly ignoring the safety and reliability concerns of their customers. Buyer beware.

23 may 2011, I own a 2010 Hyundai Elantra with 14,??? mi on it. As I was entering a curve on paved road at approximately 20 mph the electric power steering failed. I was able to maintain control using extreme effort avoiding oncoming traffic. I pulled over to the next safest area to calm down and regain my composure. The eps light was on and had no power steering. I looked under the hood for any sign of cause of failure and found nothing. Drove the car straight to the dealer and the service managers response when he tried to turn the wheel was "OH my". The dealership gave me a loaner car to drive since the Elantra was still under warranty. I called the service department on 13 June and they said they replaced a sensor and that didn't fix it and they were going to replace the steering column. 20 June 11, still waiting on repair of car. I returned the loaner because I no longer trust electric power steering no matter what anybody tells me. Yes the car is under warranty and the parts can be replaced. But, I am the sole provider for my family, I don't have a warranty nor any replacement parts and it cost a whole lot more to fix any damages to me than it does that car. Not to mention the person I met in that curve or their family.
