With only 44, 434 miles on the car, the steering column had to be replaced. While driving i noticed extreme play in the steering wheel and a noise when it reached the end of a full turn; my mechanic examined it and found a coupling in the column was broken and lubricant was oozing out. He replaced the steering column.

59,600 miles in car. Parked car for night, next morning turned vehicle on and eps and esc off lights were on. Vehicle had no power steering and was hard to turn if not moving. Recall on eps software was done 11 months ago. Took to dealership where problems were diagnosed as bad sensors. That's not bad until they tell you sensors themselves cannot be replaced and you need to have a complete new steering column…

They recalled eps in 2015 and i wasn't notified. Now they told me it was steering column problem and wanted to charge me over $2000 for this. The dealer won't even use the existing extended warranty to fix my car. I am not the only one who has this problem and it is very annoying.

2010 elantra has 37,000 miles. I've had three episodes (one with my 16 year old granddaughter driving) where the power steering goes out while driving at slow speed on city street. No prior incident known to create the condition. Thus far, only way to fix problem is to turn car off and restart. Not very safe. Last time this happened i had struggle to drive the car into a nearby parking lot to safely turn it off and…

Rubber coupling failure in the motor driven power steering (mdps) assembly a $2 part with a $350 labor bill. Safety inspection station says this is a safety issue which may result in failure to pass inspection. Hyundai nevertheless maintains that it is not a safety issue (in an obvious attempt to prevent a recall). The part has failed just beyond warranty coverage. I'm soliciting guidance on how to cover repair…

In 2016 i took my car in for "sticky" steering, in which the dealer replaced bushings in the steering column. On 5/19/2018, while driving forward at approximately 45 mph, my power steering went out and my eps light came on. I pulled over, turned the car off and back on but it didn't solve the problem. After having a mechanic look at it, was informed they couldn't diagnose it because hyundai has proprietary codes on…

Electronic power steering gets disabled while driving and steering becomes very hard when it happens. It happened three times recently and concerned with the safely of driving this vehicle. This seems to be associated with the recall nhtsa campaign number: 15v100000... But my vin number is not listed as the affected vehicle. It is highly likely that the issue is also related to the recall. Need your help to resolve…

Campaign931 was performed as eps s/w check and ecu upgrade only. My manufacture date is one week older than the last manufacture…

The car creaks when you go at a slow speed or over a hump. The steering wheel also makes a clicking or knocking sound when steering it and when you turn the car to the left or right it makes a creaking noise. When you get out of the car, it seems that it creaks once the weight is lifted. The creaking is either when stationary or when going at a low speed over humps and when turning the wheel. When driving at normal…

Eps goes out at low speed. No power steering at all. Acts right after engine restart. This has happened twice in last 2 weeks. Both times in a parking lot. I understand they have a recall on the elantra touring but not the ls, same problem.

Vehicle was towed to hyundai service where they diagnosed need for new steering column. (cost $2400!) the car had only about 83,000 miles. The previous steering recall work had been done in 2015 (software problem?) luckily i was not…

The eps light keeps coming on. Took it to the dealer 3 days ago. They said it just needed to be reset. Came back on today and no power steering. But no recall on this car. Really concerned something bad will happen while driving it.
