Description of the problem	On a two lane surface street driving on a straight course at 35 mph the steering wheel suddenly began to shake back and forth so violently that i could barely hang on and keep the car on the road until i could get it to stop on the road's shoulder. It continued to shudder until the engine was turned off. Upon proceeding at about 20 mph to a phone to call for a tow to a dealer it happened again and jerked the car into the oncoming opposite lane. It could not be driven safely at any speed. It happened a third time when loading the car onto the tow truck. The violent shaking of the steering wheel continued well after the engine was powered off. The dealer's service mechanics were able to replicate this violent shaking condition in their shop with the engine both running and with the engine off. They submitted a video on it to hyundai engineers. The diagnosis was "internal failure of the power steering pump /module that is built into the steering column." a replacement module was ordered and replaced in about four days and $1033. 92.
