- 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.

I have a significant defect and safety issue with my 2010 Hyundai Elantra that should be recalled by Hyundai. There seems to be a problem with the automatic gear shifter. The first issue is intermittent where the car does not turn on or even make a clicking noise when I try to turn the key in the ignition. This might make you think the battery is dead, but that is not the case. After a while of turning the car on and off, the car will eventually start. The second issue is that the gear shifter gets stuck and will not shift from one position to another. After much difficulty in getting it unstuck and shifting, the third and most significant problem is that the indicator as to which gear the car is in is not reflecting the actual gear that the car is in. This presents a real safety issue as the indicator will say that the car is in Park, but the car will roll like it is in neutral so the only way to get this to stop is to put on the emergency break while parked. Shifting into a position that you think you’re in, but not actually in, can result in hitting a pedestrian or another car. In rare instances, the car will actually shift into the correct position indicated by the gear shifter while it is in Park. You can find numerous results if you do a google search on the internet for the issues I’ve described above in Hyundai cars. Since the gear shifter is not working properly and is getting stuck, I feel this presents a significant safety issue should I need to get out of the way quickly in either a Drive or Reverse position or if I am expecting to be in a Park position and the car keeps moving.
