- while driving the car, suddenly the steering became very tight. I barely managed to avoid an accident and took the vehicle to side. At this time eps light also turned on. - since then the issue has been random. Sometimes eps light will turn off and steering will work properly, but then suddenly it will become very tight and eps light comes on. It has been random. - car is driven only ~30k miles - took vehicle to dealer and then diagnosed it to be issue in eps motor and was advised whole steering column to be replaced (cost of $2800). - contacted Hyundai and they are refusing to do anything about it other than I can replace steering column at my own cost. - this is clearly a quality issue from Hyundai and causes safety issues while driving. Noticed many other complain on web with similar issue for Hyundai vehicles.

2013 Hyundai Elantra. Consumer writes in regards to windshield wiper design failure the consumer stated the wiper blade on the passenger side was very short and the bottom end of the wiper blade left a semi-circular water streak right in front of the person sitting in the passenger seat on every wipe of the blade. Also, there was a spot at the bottom of the windshields where the passenger wiper blade left a short inverted "v" type spot that the driver's wiper blade did not clean which would freeze into in the winter. The consumer stated the steering was too sensitive. The consumer was informed the vehicle has electric steering which may be related to the condition. The steering was so sensitive, that he had to constantly move the wheel left and right just to stay out of the oncoming traffic lane and stay in his lane of traffic. Several times, while driving, in a slight crossing wind with various groups of trees, the level of steering sensitivity forced him to run off the edge of the road to avoid entering the oncoming traffic lane. Also, on a few occasions, the consumer had to hit the brakes harder than normal, but not hard enough to engage the abs. With the electric assisted steering, it was impossible to feel if the vehicle was centered in his lane prior to using the brakes.
