Description of the problem	On the evening of 4/7/2015 i rented a 2015 hyundai elantra from enterprise. The next evening, 4/8/2015 at about 10:30pm, i was driving out of the rv park where we were staying. I was driving about 15 mph and had just driven over a small bridge that had a very slight bump at the end before the road curved slightly to the right. As i went over the bump the steering wheel locked up and i found myself heading straight into the wooden wall along the right side of the road. I could not get the steering wheel to turn to the left, away from the wall, and crashed through it. Luckily, because i was going so slow, i did not wind up going into the concrete and steel retainer wall behind the wooden wall, and no one was hurt. The front of the car and the wooden wall, however, were badly damaged. The tow truck driver also had problems getting the steering to respond when he was backing the car out of the wall. It finally unlocked after he kept at it for a few minutes.
