While driving the car became difficult to steer almost resulting in my going off the road, when i go to a place that was safe to stop, i noticed that the eps light was illuminated red, and the esc off light was illuminated yellow. i shut off the car and it the lights went off and remained off during my communte home. when i drove the care yesterday the lights came on at start up and stayed on my commute home. this vehicle is extremely difficult to steer to steer when the lights are illuminated, and unsafe when the power steering cuts off unexpectedly while driving. there are many reports of this problem on the internet, and a recall number #127 has been assigned, but no official recall to date for my vin #.

My daughter was returning home from work. the eps (electronic power steering) light and the esc light came on. indicating there was an issue with the steering. she pulled the car off the road in a panic and called me. i told her to get the car to an auto zone or advanced auto and have them check the fluid and that in the interim the steering may get very hard and to be careful. she got it to advance auto and was informed there is no fluid because it is electronic and she needed to get it to the dealer. i took the vehicle to the dealer (gettel hyundai in sarasota) and was told the coupler was out but that the car was still safe to drive and the lights would just stay on or i could pay $1500 to have a new steering column installed. the steering wheel was making a clunking noise as i was driving it there and i was hold the steering wheel so tight my forearms were sore by the time i got it there. i am still under the 5 year warranty (but not the mileage). i immediately check for recalls on nhtsa and discover there is a recall for this very thing. by this time the dealer was closed. contacted them first thing in the morning (today) and was told there was no recall and that the car was safe to drive with the defective steering! this is not some sort of cosmetic problem!! how can a car be safe to drive with defective steering? why are they not honoring the recall? we live in the country and we traverse windy roads...if the steering does actually go out it could potentially cause an accident and possibly a fatality! in the mean time my car sits at the dealership and we have no transportation to get back and forth to work or for any emergency that should occur!!! *tr
Material used in the gls variant's steering wheel has degraded to the point that the rubber pieces are crumbling in the hands of the driver. the steering wheel material has cracked and disintegrated. dealer told me this is normal wear and tear. i have had several cars with excess of 14 years of use that this has not happened to.
This is a second issue same problem. the first time was december 29,2014 went out started the car no power steering had just drove the car the day before over hundred miles seemed fine well the next morning the problem arose wife went to go to work no power steering she took my vehicle i missed work to take into the dealership. that afternoon they reset the computer and the car drove fine. fast forward to march 22,2015 a sunday morning got into the car started it up an no power steering shut it off restarted it ran fine. called the dealership up the next morning got an appointment to have it checked over. again the same issue thankfully we were not driving the car when these issues have happened. we have seen the article in the paper on the recall but at this date hyundai has not notified owners of the recall so i guess we wait and hope we do not crash the car in the mean time. iam also the second owner of this car and wonder if this was not an issue in the past. *tr
As i was pulling out of my driveway the steering wheel jerked to the side and both the eps and esc off lights became illuminated. i drove a little further and the steering wheel became very hard to move. i took the car to the local garage and had it towed to the hyundai dealership for diagnosis and service. luckily i was just driving in my local neighborhood, if this would have happened on the highway i may have been in a serious accident. *tr
Driving elantra touring 2010 ( with less than 28500 miles) in a local street, and all of sudden the vehicle stopped immediately before the turn signal and unable to operate the steering. there were several lights, including the "esc" was on. it is really scary when vehicle stopped responding while driving on the street. i am not sure any recall available to remediate this dangerous problem. *tr
Traveling in a 40 mph zone approaching a red light. began decelerating and applying brake. eps (electronic power steering) light and esc lights activated on dashboard; complete loss of power steering occurred. shut off vehicle & checked all fuses - all appeared normal; no power steering or esc functioning. vehicle serviced by dealer who diagnosed a short in the electrical harness in the steering column. repair required complete replacement of steering column and wiring harness (parts cost was over $1,100.00). dealer stated this is becoming a common repair for the elantra line of vehicles, but this was the first they saw in a touring model. due to commonality of parts in comparison to the percentage of touring models produced it appears there may be a problem with the design of the steering column and wiring harness for all elantra models. *tr
Hyundai elantra touring pulls to the right while accelerating and traveling at 50 mph. it hurts your wrist to keep it straight on the road. alignment and tire rotation doesn't solve the problem. *tr
The elantra touring pulls to the right. after 6 trips to service and adjustments authorized by hyundai the car still pulls to the right. it is very tiring continuously correcting the steering.
