Description of the problem | I was driving down the road, coming back from gym, when my eps light went on--seconds after the light appeared, my power steering shut down. I struggled with the steering wheel, then ran off the road after pulling with both arms to pull the car over. I eventually drove the car home with my hazards at a very slow speed since i had great difficulty turning the car etc. I can't imagine what would have happened had i been on the highway. I called hyundai (customer connect ) my case number is[xxx]. They have only responded that they will not reimburse me any of the 2400 dollars it cost to replace.
