Eps light randomly came on again and locked my steering which is dangerous while driving on the road and parking, can't move the steering left or right. Issue has occurred before around the initial eps recall, took it then to the same dealer (sport hyundai dodge) where car was originally purchased to update or patch up fix. Recently went to the dealer to also fix the ABS module recall and run a diagnostic on the eps. They stated it's the steering column that needed to be replaced. A $2100 repair, which they will file with the manufacture to see if it's covered. By reading these repeating complaints, something tells me that they will continue to ignore the problem till it's in harms way instead of preventing the safety issues. Currently had to give up working hours and in financial stress over a manufacturing problem that should have been addressed correctly in the beginning.

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 their eps and ABS systems that doesn't allow them to diagnose the problem, forcing me to have to take it to the dealership. Not having the funds to have the car towed 20 miles to the nearest dealer, I drove my car with no power steering to the dealer. They informed me that my entire steering column needs to be replaced. My car has 84,000 miles and never been in an accident. Has been well maintained. They can not tell me the reason the entire steering column has to be replaced but that it does at my cost of $2,500! I found the recall of the eps but that is only repaired with a part, not the entire steering column. I have found online hundreds of other people with low mileage elentras having to have their entire steering columns replaced at their cost. Hyundai is aware of the issue but doing nothing about it putting their customers in danger.
