Description of the problem	I have a 2009 hyundai elantra with just over 100,000 miles on it. Around a year ago i had an issue with the eps light coming on. I took it to the dealer, and they had to do something to the computer. Yesterday i was driving and the eps light came on again. I then realized the power steering had completely went out in my car. I got into a parking lot and turned it off and then back on and it worked fine. Took it to the dealer and they told me that the entire steering column has to be replaced for $2,400. I am very upset because i do not have the money, and my extended warranty that i paid $4,000 for just ended. I am still paying on it. I decided to do some research and found out that it is very common in the hyundai elantra to have steering issues. As far back as 07 and as recently as the 2013 model. I had my baby and two other passengers in the car with me when it happened, and the thought of if i had been going 70 on the freeway when this happened makes me never want to get into the car again. I do not think that it is normal for so many cars to have the same issue. I think it should be looked into and recalled. It took every bit of strength i had to turn the car. I think this is a very serious issue and with so many complaints it should be looked into. Hopefully hyundai does not wait until lives are lost to fix this. I have added the links with the complaints similar to mine. It seems that the steering columns are defective. With so many repairs having to be made, i am sure hyundai is aware by now. Http://www.
