Power Steering Light On problems of the 2013 Hyundai Elantra

Tl-contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Elantra --- esc light came -- electronic steering light vehicle has 58000 miles on vehicle and is not under warranty --- called dealership and dealership stated vehicle is out of warranty . Steering locked up on contact and that contact had to pay for repairs. Contact left a voicemail for Hyundai dealership and dealership has not returned phone call. Contact given number to Hyundai cb.

Trying to drive out of my driveway, I had no power steering and the eps light was on, tried shutting car off and restarting it with the same results. Brought vehicle to dealership in somersworth where I purchased it last may, and it was determined that the steering column has to be replaced.

While driving the steering will have a slight lock to it that will be unlocked by over-correcting the wheel. This problem has been present since the purchase of the vehicle in March and was looked at by Hyundai who said that there was no problem and that what we were feeling was common in an electronic steering system. In our ignorance we accepted their diagnosis but the problem has become worse since then, on 5/23/15 as I was driving the problem was so bad that it felt as if the wheel had locked up entirely and was pointed in the direction of the ditch, I corrected the problem but had to use more force than any previous time and in doing so the car jerked into the opposite lane, had a vehicle been in the opposite lane I would have hit them head on. The vehicle has not had as hard of a lockup since then however we have not gone over 55 since then either. In the city at lower speeds of 25-45 you can still feel it locking up at times however it is much more easily corrected. The problem still persists at any speed and distance, but on 5/23 was the worst incident yet and I expect that it will get worse until it is properly corrected. Hyundai though says that there is no problem and its all part of the normal operations of an electronic steering system, I however am not convinced. Thank you for your time.

Just arrived at my residence when power steering stopped. Had to force car to turn in my drive. Electronic steering control and electronic power steering warning lights on. Delivered car to dealer on 8/19/2014. Dealer had car for three days for repair. New steering column with angle sensors had to be installed and adjusted. This was a very dangerous situation and the same thing has happened to other owners on this site.
