Driving on the highway doing 65mph my steering all of the sudden got hard and the steering light indicator came on the dash board. I was able to make it to work with out any power sterring but made it a tough ride.

2013 Hyundai sante fe sport �steering began a "hesitation", "lag", "play" when turning the steering wheel even slightly in either direction. � the problem will increased as 3 diferente certified mechanics already informed me. It appears all these problems are attributable to Hyundai's election to use a cheap rubber coupler between the steering column and steering linkage. � �the replacement part is $6. 88. Hyundai dealerships charge $400-$500 to replace it. Nhtsa should have long ago ordered Hyundai to effectuate a replacement of this part with one made of a material that will not degrade as this part does. � Hyundai has issued several extended warranties for some models, even though they know its the same problems for all the models with this cheap rubber coupler. Most of this information was from other owner's complains, but the new information I have was from the Hyundai service department. After replacing my engine in a recall (where my car stopped and fire started in my engine), I found out about this rubber coupler. Everyone from Hyundai service dep knows this problem should be in a recall, but they just will do nothing to get it to NHTSA. They just stated �NHTSA is the only one that can request for a recall. � today I spoke again with the Hyundai service manager (at red hoagland Hyundai winter haven, FL ), because after calling Hyundai recall dep and being told that �if the service dep decides that this replacement should be in a recall they could request for a extended warranty from the Hyundai recall dep, or NHTSA needs to put a recall for this problem�. Its clear that everyone knows this problem should be in a recall and that it is a life threatening situation, but no one does anything about it. Are you guys waiting for some one to die because of this problem before putting a recall? eger labriola.
