Description of the problem	In the last 2 weeks, the eps light has come on my dashboard 3 times, accompanied by the power steering failing. The first time it happened, i was in the middle of an intersection, turning left, and my power steering failed. The second time i was in my driveway, luckily not yet pulled out into the busy street on which i live. The third time was just today on the highway, and as i was going 65 mph, the power steering failed. The only way i've found to "fix" it is to turn off my car and start it again. Had i been going over the bridge near my house where there is no shoulder to pull onto where i could restart my engine, today i would have been unable to steer around the curves of the highway. This is not just a minor problem. This is a safety liability on the part of the manufacturer and needs to be addressed. I have read about many other people with the same car having this issue and hyundai doing nothing about it. So far, only a handful of 2015 sonatas have been recalled for the exact same issue, but nothing has been done about the elantras. I have contacted hyundai regarding this, and they say that my vin is not part of a recall, even though it clearly has the same problem as the recalled sonatas occurring repeatedly, and therefore i must absorb the cost of whatever it will take to remedy this problem. Again, this is a liability on hyundai's part, and they should be responsible for fixing it at no cost to the consumer. Thank you for your time.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
